I noticed that some of my RSS feeds from Feedburner have the feedproxy.google.com domain and a long squiggly URL. I would like to remove and get rid of the feedproxy in my feedburner feeds and would much prefer to have the URL with my own domain and the webpage URL link. I also noticed that not all my RSS from my various blogs has this issue. So very likely there was some sort of setting at fault. (more…)

Remove and Get Rid of Feedproxy in Feedburner
Thursday, January 28th, 2010HTML extension vs PHP, ASP, SHTML, PHTML, etc
Thursday, November 12th, 2009I have been curious, whether a HTML extension (or HTM extension for that matter) would do as well in a search engine as compared with extension that ended up in PHP, ASP, SHTML, PHTML, etc, etc. Of course each extension has its own usefulness.
HTML was started pretty long ago for use with web browsing. HTML meaning Hyper Text Markup Language or HTML in short as a standard means of encoding a file to display text and graphic on your browser. It has since come a long way with many changes to its standards, though those old web pages should still work in the new modern browsers despite having HTML code that may be deprecated.
There was also forum thread discussing whether HTML will have a better standing than HTM extension. And there was more too discussing whether HTML extension would be superior in search engine than web pages that uses extension like PHP, ASP, SHTML, PHTML, JSP, CGI, etc, etc. (more…)
Make Website
Monday, June 15th, 2009Whether you make a website for personal use or for your business, it doesn’t have to be all Greek to you. You don’t need to be a geek to make a website either. Sure if you got money or budget to spare you can farm it out to all those web designer out there. But if you have the interest and think you can make your own website for free, why not?
Make your web site’s first page – the index.html file
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009The first page you need to make when you make your web site is the index file. This is the web page where a visitor will be greeted when they key in your web site domain in their browser. You may say this is the entry point to start browsing your web site though it may not necessary be the first page a visitor will visit if they find your web site through a search engine. If they came in via the web site address that you supplied, then this index file will the first page where your visitors will drop in to your web site.
Creating tables, rows and columns when you make website
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Tables are useful when you make your own web site. Apart from displaying information in a nice spreadsheet like structure. It can also be used to align your web site layout. However the over use of tables for web site alignment is frowned upon as it mean bad programming practice.
As a lay user, we are not expert programmers. We may end up using programs like Dreamweaver, Frontpage or similar software to build our web sites. However I did notice that Dreamweaver is also not a follower of good programming practices when it comes to aligning the various web page block sections, it overuses tables to create spacing and margins. So if you are part software user, part programmer, you would definitely knock your head on the wall when you try to edit the HTML codes directly after initially using Dreamweaver to create the overall page structure.
Using tables to align sections is a lot easier than using CSS. Though the current web page developer convention is to use CSS to align each block accordingly to each block section of the web page. I’ll leave that kind of coding to the experts. For me, I’ll use a simple table set up to get each block section into exactly where I want them to be and for the rest of the layout and design, I use CSS.
Anchors and links. A HREF HTML tags. How to make connections from one web page to another
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Links are like the flow lines in the internet world. Links are one of the more important aspects when you make your own web site. Without links in your web site, you would consider your web site as dead. No way to move from one page to another page saves if your visitor knows the exact URL address to find the web page.
How you link your pages from your main index page right down to each page is known as your as web site structure. The ideal way is like the shape of a pyramid starting from the main index and from that moving out to each topic and from each topic move out to subtopics and so on and so forth. The pyramid style is best as it helps to order the information into sections for easier navigation of your topics. However in a blog style web site where postings are done chronologically, some structure can be imparted to it by the use of category and tags.
Adding images to your website video tutorial
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009What’s a web site without pictures? A boring web site. So when you make your own web site, you cold spice it up with beautiful photos. This is especially important if you are making travel destinations related web sites, wedding photography web sites, or any web site that requires the motto, “a picture is worth a thousand words”.
Oh, and don’t go overboard by just having a web site that is composed nothing but pictures. Nope. That won’t do. That still makes for a boring web site (unless of course it is the… um, ahem! You know what I mean). What drives people to your web site is good quality content. A good balance and mixture of words and pictures can truly make for an interesting web site. (more…)

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009These are some of the basics of HTML code that you should at least know when you make your own web site. This is useful not only in your own web site, but also when you want to make post and comments (if the option is available to you).
The basic tags that you should at least learn are:

- I – italics (or EM – emphasis)
- Center – centering text
