How to Get the Case Off Your PC!

This is the first step to servicing, upgrading or removing PC hardware from your PC. Refer to my other articles on adding, upgading or removing just about any piece of hardware.
First things first, get that case off your PC. This is usually done by removing the screws on the back. Don’t remove the ones near your power supply! This will cause your power supply to fall out. Simply remove the screws along the side that seem to be holding the [...]
Search Engine Position Report
Posted on Jun.15, 2009, under Web Traffic No Comments
Since search engines are the first stop for people on the Internet looking for goods or services, the position your website appears in search results is an important factor. If your URL shows up far down the results list, the chances of the consumer never finding you increase incrementally.
Once you achieve a high search engine position, it is essential that you make sure you maintain the high ranking you have worked so hard to achieve.
This means you must come up [...]

Keeping Track of Your Link Exchanges
Posted on May.14, 2009, under Web Traffic No Comments
All of us want to increase traffic to our web sites. It helps our search engine rankings, and provides us with potential new customers. One of the best, and certainly least expensive, ways to do that is by exchanging links with sites similar to our own. However, you don’t have to accumulate very many links before it becomes difficult to keep track of them all. Many of them have similar sounding (or identical!) names, descriptions and even URL’s. Let me [...]
Python and Ruby: the Newer Alternatives
Posted on Apr.08, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
Thanks to the nature of open source, almost anyone can write a
programming language and get a significant number of people to
use it: and plenty of people have. Two of the newest and
fastest-growing players when it comes to open source web
languages are Python and Ruby. Neither of them were web
languages originally – they were normal programming languages -

One thing that sometimes escapes web designers is the need for
the end product to be focussed on the customer rather than on
what the web designer can provide.
While new whizzy things are nice they can be at best unnecessary
and at worst so distracting from the purpose of the website that
the true message never gets across.
A balance needs to be met that encourages creativity but retains
the adage that “content is king”
To achieve this balance, here are three areas that I believe are
important. [...]

It Is The Little Things
Posted on Jan.23, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
It is the little things that can affect visitors perception of your web site. Recently, I crafted and sent off a proposal to a potential client regarding a writing project and some web page assistance. There are several things on this persons site that need attention, common things I have observed on other sites too:
Broken links. If you have something listed on a navigation bar, it should click through to other pages on your site or to elsewhere on the [...]
