My Flickr widget will make your photostream fly

2009-04-10T08:36:00.001-07:00

Roy Tanck’s Flick Widget requires Flash Player 9 or better.

If you like, you can now try the Flickr widget I blogged about a little while ago. This is the first time I’ve released something like this, but I’m pretty confident it’ll work. I’ve set up a page on this blog where you can enter your Flickr feed, along with some other details, and create your personalized version of the widget. It’s generates an HTML code snippet that you can copy-paste into your website. In fact I just used it to create the widget embedded on the left.

One thing I was concerned about was where I should put the Flash file. If this thing should become popular, it could cause lots of traffic. That’s why I chose to host it at Amazon’s S3 service. I’ll blog some more about this soon because it’s is an interesting service, but what it comes down to is that S3 is an extremely reliable way of hosting files. Even if there’s a little hick-up here at roytanck.com, the widget will still be served. That means no big empty hole in your blog, unless Flickr is down. Or S3. Both highly unlikely.

Let me know if you run into anything. I’m pretty sure the widget code will remain the same for the foreseeable future. All URLs are final, so if you successfully generate the widget, it will continue to function, even if I need to make little adjustments to the form or the Flash movie later on.

New Internet Marketing Tips To Webmasters

2009-04-10T08:31:00.001-07:00

Internet marketing is the latest trend in setting up an online page. Webmasters should take some time to improve their site, in terms of design and content to make it accessible to the online public. Here are some tips on how to make that possible.

Blogs: Start Attaching Tags To Your Posts

Nothing is as popular as blogging. It is mainly used for personal reasons online diary, posting materials for students, or simply sharing your hobbies to the rest of the world; it can also be used for business, for marketing your products and services, and more. Even if you continuously update your site with interesting posts, you still need to make sure that all your posts are accessible to everyone on the Net.

One way you can do that is to label all your posts with tags. These are words or phrases that best describes your site content. All your posts can be searched out with the use of tags -- Web surfers only need to type in keywords to search out your content. Every time you post something on your blog site, you might want to incorporate keywords into your content, as well as keywords as tags to make it search engine friendly. At least 5 tags should do.

Avoid Spamming Keywords

Keywords are one of the gists of Internet marketing. The more keywords you place on your page, the higher the possibility that search engines will be able to pick it up during information look up. Varying your keywords that best reflects your online content is one way to improve its Web coverage.

Now the problem of keywords is that most website owners spam them on their page to achieve a high search engine ranking. But this method is considered as cheating, especially to honest and legitimate sites on the Web. In order to minimize its occurrence on the Web, search engines have incorporated algorithms into their services to detect spamming and ban these sites from their index. At least maintain keyword density of 10 to 15 percent at most.

Start Linking

Links also plays a major role in Internet marketing. Aside from increase your online coverage; links also improves your placement in search engine results. You can do it manually by asking other Webmasters to place a link of your page in their site, while you do the same with theirs on your page.

You can also choose to implement link building by integrating it into your site content or submitting them to Web directories. Most used strategy regarding links is to integrate them into your articles and publish them on the Web. Other strategies include bookmarking and networking.

HOW TO INSTALL SHOUTBOX on FRIENDSTER BLOG

2009-04-10T08:19:00.001-07:00

According to wikipedia, a shoutbox, saybox, tagboard, or chatterbox is a chat-like feature of some websites that allows people to quickly leave messages on the website, generally without any form of user registration.

In their simplest form, shoutboxes are simply lists of short messages, possibly with information about their authors. The page may be automatically refreshed after a certain interval, or polled dynamically in order to keep new messages visible. Older posts are often deleted after a certain number of messages have been written in order to preserve space on the server.

For the most part, shoutboxes are embedded into a page with inline frames or JavaScript. Many Internet forum and weblog software packages can be modified to add shoutboxes in sidebars on site pages.

Like most dynamic content, shoutboxes must interface with a database, and they query the database every time a page is requested. Additionally, a shoutbox may be loaded from a simple file. Unlike most dynamic content, however, shoutboxes are generally placed on every page of a web site, so they tend to cause disproportionate strain on databases. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that shoutboxes do not use too many database resources. (Caching systems like memcached can be used to mitigate this to some extent, or an alternative implementation such as storing all messages in system-wide shared memory rather than a database may be used).

Now there are a lot of website provide shoutbox. One, that most popular in Indonesia and around South East Asia is oggix.com. You can add oggix shoutbox on your friendster blog by reading the manual in this link.

Web Design Guide for Beginner

2009-04-10T08:18:00.002-07:00

This short article is intended as a roadmap of web designers should be made aware of. If you follow each of the following tips you will be well on your way to mastering web design.

So what is you have to do?

1. LEARN XHTML - Extensible HyperText Markup Language.
XHTML is the â€˜markup languageâ€™ that every individual web page is made out of. Don’t worry, its not too difficull to learn XHTML or maybe XHTML is quite possibly the easiest programming language you can learn, so easy in fact XHTML isnâ€™t technically classed as a programming language. You can write XHTML code in a plain text editor, such as notepad, or notepad++. You can browse Google for XHTML tutorials or head over to http://www.w3. org/MarkUp/Guide/ for a brief introduction to writing XHTML

2. LEARN CSS â€“ Cascading Style Sheets.
CSS or Cascading Style Sheets is only a little more advanced than XHTML and most books on XHTML also cover CSS. CSS is the language that controls things such as the colour, background images, font attributes, and so on. The beauty of using CSS is you can control the aesthetic features of multiple web pages with a single CSS file.

3. LEARN PHOTOSHOP
If you are aspiring for a web design career you are going to need to learn Photoshop. In my experience, i suggest you to make up all of your web page designs in Photoshop first. Once you are entirely happy with the design start slicing and dicing your photoshop file for the images you will need, and coding the web page in XHTML and CSS.

4. TABLELESS DESIGN - USE CSS INSTEAD OF TABLES FOR YOUR DESIGNS
Use CSS to control your layout, donâ€™t use HTML tables for your design. Tables add a lot of unnecessary code, are time consuming and expensive to make changes to once the site is completed, and only affect the layout of the single page you are working on â€“ as opposed to using a single CSS file that affects the layout of any page you want.

5. USE VALID XHTML AND CSS
Valid XHTML and valid CSS is code that validates with the World Wide Web Consortiums coding rules. There is plenty of information on how to ensure your code is valid over at http://www.w3.org. It is important to keep this in mind, as most web design employers will not touch web designers with a ten-foot clown pole unless their code adheres with the standards of the W3C.

6. GET INSPIRED
Browse the net for good web designers, donâ€™t steal their designs, but analyse their designs and try to figure out what fonts, colour scheme, grids, and photoshop techniques they are using. A simple way to use this is search for web design in Google, and browse the portfolios of the top web design companies that come up in the search results. Digital art and poster websites also serve as good inspiration.

7. PRACTISE PRACTISE AND PRACTISE
The more you practise, the sooner writing XHTML and CSS code will become a second nature to you, and you should also practise utilising the information from the various theories I have just mentioned too.

Google Doesn’t Care About Website Design

2009-04-10T08:18:00.001-07:00

You may not be aware of this and im sure you’ll find it very interesting! Despite the time and effort that your web designer has put into creating a beautiful website for your company, Google - the biggest search engine in the world doesn’t even care what it looks like! This may seem like a bold statement, but this article will explain to you exactly why it is true; Google and all the other big search engines including Yahoo and MSN cannot even see what your website looks like!

So, in order to explain, let’s start at the beginning. It’s important to know exactly what Google is and why it is there in the first place. Google is a huge network of linked computers dotted around the planet in locations called data centres. The purpose of these computers is simply to visit as many web pages as possible and store the text content that they find there so that it can be used to power their search results.

The sole aim of search engines (aside from making money) is to return useful and relevant results from user searches for specific keywords. For example if I were to type ‘web design Barnsley’ into Google, they would want to return the most useful websites that were genuinely relevant to the search key phrase ‘web design barnsley’.

In order to perform this task, Google and the other search engines employ software programs on their computers called search engine robots or ‘bots’. The purpose of these bots is to follow the links between web pages that they find on the internet, extract the text content that they find on each page and then move on to the next web page on its ‘to do list’. At no point during this process does Google or any other search engine stop to check out the intricacies of your company logo or stop to admire the lovely lighting effects that have been designed by your website designer. They simply take the text content, store it and move on! Think about it. Consider the mammoth numbers of websites on the internet, search engines don’t have the time to stop and think - they have more sites to visit!

Still not convinced? Let’s look at something else. Your website is made up from programming code called HTML which is used to structure the text and images that you have on your web pages. If you select view > source from the toolbar above you can see the HTML code that is used to make up this page! This is similar to what Google sees when it arrives at your site and this is where your optimised search engine content has to go in order for you to be able to rank well in Google and the other search engines.

Conclusion:

By considering the differences between the way the search engines view your site and the way you and I see the site, you can begin to appreciate the need to build content rich websites which provide search engines with the useful content that they are coming to your site to find. Of course having an attractive website is important. It will allow you to portray a professional image and encourage users to make online orders and enquiries. It is more important in my opinion to realise that without useful content, which is focused around your target key phrases, having a beautiful website design will do you little good, since the search engines will have no reason to send any traffic your way.

Why Most Bloggers Are Stuck - Reporters vs Experts

2009-04-10T08:14:00.000-07:00

There are basically two types of bloggers in the world - reporters and experts - and some people perform both roles (usually the experts, it’s hard for reporters to become experts, but it’s easy for experts to report).

If you have ever taken an Internet marketing course or attended a seminar specifically for beginners, you have probably heard about the two different methodologies. Whenever the business model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the model is based on content, people are taught to either start as reporters, or if possible step up as experts.

I’ll be frank - you want to be the expert.

Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases people start off as reporters because they haven’t established expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher conversion rates because of perceived value, it’s easier to get publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc… experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more attention.

Most Bloggers Are Reporters

The thing with expertise is that it requires something - experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and talking about other experts (reporting again).

There’s nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many people it’s a necessity at first until you build up some expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain attention and when they do, they often just enhance the reputation of the expert they are reporting on.

Don’t Replicate Your Teacher

If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn Internet marketing niche you will notice a pattern. Many people first study Internet marketing from a “guru” (for lack of a better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is that in order to make money online you have to teach others how to make money online.

The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same industry - the Internet marketing industry - not realizing that without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks that come with it, it’s next to impossible to succeed.

Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no problems with that, I think it’s fine to teach beginners and leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that people gravitate to the same niche - Internet marketing - and rarely have any key points of differentiation.

How many products out there do you know of that all claim to teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click, affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the category of Internet marketing. It’s a saturated market, yet when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching others how to make money (and let’s face it - making money as a subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural inclination is to follow in their footsteps.

If the key is to become an expert and you haven’t spent the last 5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another niche to establish expertise in.

Report on Your Process, Not Others

The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus on other experts and instead report on your own journey. When you are learning how to do something and implementing things day by day, or studying other people’s work, you need to take your process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use it as content for your blog.

It’s okay to talk about experts when you learn something from them, but always relate it to what you are doing. If you learn a technique from an expert it’s fine to state you learned it from them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and then report back YOUR results, not there’s. Frame things using your opinion - your stories - and don’t regurgitate what the expert said. The key is differentiation and personality, not replication.

Expertise comes from doing things most people don’t do and then talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you did.

You Are Already An Expert

Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts) because they don’t leverage what they already know. Every person who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every day and knows something about something. The reason why they never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by leveraging real experience.

Experience can come from what you do today and what you have done previously; you just need to take enough steps to demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently learning along your journey. I know so many people in my life, who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived, yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit their knowledge to words for fear of…well fear.

Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise because of the sheer scope of people they can reach. If all you ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience using limited communication mediums, you haven’t much hope of becoming an expert. Take what you know and show other people through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change their perception of you in time.

Reporting Is A Stepping Stone

If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you want to leave behind or you are starting from “scratch”, then reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short term.

Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about what other people are doing and just being part of a community is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want success and exponential results, at some point you will have to stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over again.

Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember, it’s okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that’s all most experts really are.

Ways To Generate Your Backlinks

2009-04-09T22:27:00.001-07:00

Another method to increase your placement in search engine result is by improving your page rank through the use of backlinks. These links point back to your site. The more links on the Web that points back to your online address, the higher your page rank would be which in turn, boosts your placement in search engine results.

Here are some suggestions on how to spread your backlinks on the Web to implement this SEO concept.

1. Link Building

Link building is a method for placing sites on various areas on the Internet. An archaic form of this strategy is to contact Webmasters and ask their permission to place a link of your site in theirs, and doing the same thing on yours for mutual benefits. Link building is also the term used for posting content on blogs, and putting links in them to achieve a high page rank. This is practically the most common strategy being used today.

2. Web Directories

An easy way to spread your links on the Net is to post them on Web directories. These sites are often referred to ask online yellow pages. A link to a site is placed under its own category for easy lookup. Web directories are either free or paid services.

Web directories that offers free postings does not promise an overnight propagation of your request. Considering the number of people who apply for such service, you can be sure that your links will be posted on their site after a month or two that is if you're lucky. Paid Web directories, on the other hand, offer a quick propagation time from 1 to 3 days.

3. Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking has the same concept of bookmarking saving your favorite sites from the Internet directly on your Web browser. Social bookmarking, on the other hands, involves saving your site in a social bookmarking site on the Web where you can share it with the rest of the members in the online community. The more people bookmarks your page, which contains your back link, the higher your online coverage would be.

This method of improving your page rank might be a little too complicated for beginners but it's easy if you know how it's done. First, a Webmaster needs to create a website with an appealing design and quality content. Create an account in one of the social bookmarking site on the Web and bookmark your own page in it. Bookmark other sites as well to market your own page.

Creating Fast Loading Website Template

2009-04-09T22:26:00.001-07:00

Statistics show that, without a compelling reason, the average user will not wait for much more than 10 seconds for a page to load. So does that explain why your visitors seem to spend less than 5 seconds in your site? Probably your site is taking too long to load thus putting off visitors.

As you design your site, loading time should always be a priority if your site is to be an effective business tool. Balancing usability and aesthetics is a delicate matter when creating a fast loading site.

Below are tip that you can use while designing your fast loading website.
1. Use images sparingly. Remember, images may enhance the appearance of a website but it greatly increases its loading time.
2. Use and optimize your HTML. You have to create simple and elegant sites using plain HTML, CSS and few images.
3. Minimize animated gifs and flash usage
4. Use background images
5. Avoid using Javascript and flash scripts
6. Avoid using multimedia files
7. Use Templates. Using templates will not only ensure uniformity throughout your site but will enable subsequent pages load faster because the structural images will have cached and thereby reducing the load times significantly

Increase Traffic with Sticky Content

2009-04-09T22:24:00.001-07:00

Sticky content / Sticky Tools / Sticky Gear refers to content published on a website, which has the purpose of getting a user to return to that particular website or hold their attention and get them to spend longer periods of time at that site. A lots of "sticky" content will encourage users to surf around your site, bookmark it, or even ask their friends to visit. Webmasters use this method to build up a community of returning visitors to a website.

Different sticky contents are: Chat room, Online forum, Web mail, Internet games, Weather, News, Horoscopes, and much more. Interesting information, updating information regularly, things that people can interact with, all fall under the "sticky" category.

Simple Ways To Make Your Website Load Faster

2009-04-09T22:19:00.001-07:00

Creating a website that loads quickly is important for you and your business. If you have a website that loads too slowly, potential visitors and even customers will simply give up and click away. Internet users have a variety of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and some still use a dial-up connection, which is frustrating in the first place. The last thing they want to do is visit a website that takes too long to load. Your website could even load slowly for those who are using a DSL or cable connection.

If you find that your website seems to be getting hits on your home page and nothing else, your load time could be the problem.

Giving your website a fast load time is vital to you, your website and your business. There are even studies that show that users will click away from your website if it does not load in ten seconds, and sometimes less than that.

To make your website load faster, you need to know the size and download speed of all of the pages on your website.

Here Are Some More Things You Can Do To Increase Your Load Time -

How are Your Graphics?

Graphics can take too long to load if not used properly. If you can take away some graphics, you will begin to increase your load time. If you take a look at the graphics you have on your web pages, you might realize that you have way too many that are not necessary. Only leave the ones that you absolutely have to.

Big to Small Graphics:

Make your necessary graphics smaller by using your graphics editor, such as Adobe Photoshop. Making them smaller creates a faster load time. Every little change helps.

Check out Your HTML:

You might be surprised to find that there are html codes in your web pages that are not necessary for your website at all. Always try to use CSS when designing your website. This will create a faster loading time. Try using HTML Tidy - an html cleaning tool that can help clean out any unnecessary html coding that is hidden in your web pages.

How Fast is Your Web Host?

Even your web hosting company can play a part in how fast your website loads. If you have completed all of the changes to make your website load faster and you find that it still loads too slowly, it could be your web hosting company. Before going to your web hosting company to find out what the problem is, test your website (all of the pages) on different computers with different Internet connections. If it is still too slow, it could certainly be at the fault of your web host. As your web host could be having a small problem, email them about your concern and give them about a week. If nothing changes in that time period, it may be time to switch web hosts.

Keep your website load times running fast and you will find that more and more people will visit your website and stay longer, which can mean a substantial increase in sales!

pixeled wordpress theme

2009-04-09T22:00:00.002-07:00

Changelog:
1.8:
- bug fixes and improvements for the comments section
1.7:
- made theme compatible with some WP 2.7 features: threaded comments, paginated comments
- minor bug fixes and modifications
1.5:
- changed the rendering of the sidebar items to ensure better widget compatibility (changes the look a little, but makes the theme more accessible)
- minor fixes to the sidebar
- added css definitions for more default tags
1.2:
- fixed markup in the FeedBurner form to make form validate (thanks Doug)
- changed doctype to xhtml transitional to accept attribute in the FeedBurner form
- fixed small imperfection in IE6

Note about widget use for users using versions below 1.5 (read this if your layout is a bit messed up):
For some users, the use of some widget messes the layout quite a bit. The reason for that is that not all widgets output a title. The way the widgets have been programmed on the theme, a generated title is necessary to display everything ok; otherwise, there’s an opening division tag missing. So if you were thinking of using such a widget (for instance: the search widget), please know that and consider opting instead for a plugin allowing you to adapt the code, in the same fashion the current modules are presented. That’s it.( Fixed in version 1.5, released Nov 12th, 2008.)

A note about Support.
This free WordPress theme is provided as is and, although I’d love to tweak it and make it perfect for each and every user out there, I simply can’t provide individual support for everybody. So if you have a general question, that you think could be helpful for other users too, please address your support question through the comments option below or head out to the newly installed discussion forum I just set up. I will do my best to follow through. And if you have a particular requirement or request, and would like to hire me so that we can work on it together, please give me a shout so we can talk about it. This is how support will be working here, for the time being. Thanks!

UPDATES:
- I am making available the .PSD file to edit the background image. You can download it here. Enjoy!
- For fans of the Drupal CMS, you can find the Drupal theme over at http://drupal.org/project/Pixeled (thanks to SteveJB!)
