  1. They say that XML is going to be the next standard for creating web pages. Already, XML is widely adopted, for example in the use of syndicating news, showing news headlines, delivering RSS feeds, and so on.
  2. Astahost uses IPB and a portal setup can be achieved as you all can see here, but I'm not sure if phpBB allows you to set up this portal thing too.
  3. Yeah, I agree. Just look at their homepage. Google has only a search form and some basic text links, but Yahoo! has tones of links and images, and Flash and graphics ads. That's why I no longer search with Yahoo. Google is much faster and simpler.
  4. You can try this free online pop-up maker: http://www.berm.co.nz/popupmaker/. Or you may want to download this free software that can help you make pop-ups: http://www.codelifter.com/pop5index.html. Either way simply follow the instructions and you can get your pop-up very quickly.
  5. Sometimes you don't want search engine spiders to spider your site. For example, you may not want your pages to show up in a google search. Here is what you can do: use meta tags in your web pages. You can use meta tags to control indexing and crawling of your site.By default, every single page in your site will be indexed by search engine spiders. To control this default action, just use meta tags!How? Your meta tags must be located in the HTML codes of your pages, in the header between the <head> and </head> tags.So if you want spiders to index your page and follow every link on it, insert:<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">For no indexing but following of links, use:<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow"> So more combinations are possible, example:<meta name="robots" content="index, nofollow">and:<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> Let's say you don't want your pages to be indexed but want spiders to follow links on it, your HTML should starts like this:<html><head> <title>Page title</title> <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow"> </head><body>body contents</body></html>That's it! Spiders will always check for such meta tags before deciding waht to do with your pages.Hope this helps
  6. So that means that you can actually try the php code you've writtnen on your computer without having to download the php modules first? You do have to have PHP enabled on your computer first right?

    MySQL

    Oh I see, no wonder mySQL acts like a database from which you can extract data - am I right?In cpanel there is this PostgreSQL Database. How different is this from mySQL? I tried accessing it and it looks no different from mySQL.Thanks for the teaching!
  8. But then, if you tried to install Longhorn which isn't supposed to be released yet, you may encounter a lot of problems becuse I don't think the OS is stable yet. Better wait for the full release!
  9. I doubt if the company can prosecute everybody who use GIF images anyway. But I'm not too sure about using PNG images. Can gif and jpeg to converted to PNG readily?
  10. Ok, I just learnt that Perl stands for Practical Extraction and Reporting Language. It's a programming language used for creating CGI programs on Web servers. No wonder Perl seems to be always associated with CGI...
  11. Yeah, I agree. But i suppose if you cant afford FTP software or don't want to download and install, the File Manager in cpanel is always a good substitute.

  13. Just a question... are the ports actual ports on our computers? Or do they exists somewhere on the net?
  14. Just curious..How many of you actually took actual HTML and web designing classes? Or did you like me learned through books and trial and error?
  15. CS was a worldwide phenomenon...any CS fan here?
  16. I dont watch movies very often, but the last one I saw was Troy, which was very exciting and entertaining!
  17. Who would you like to see elected to be the US president? Kerry or Bush? Will the world be safer under Bush? Or Kerry?

    iPod

    I'm curious as to how did the iPod became so popular. Do you own one? Why is the iPod so special from other mp3 players?
  21. Apparently, pro web designers do their web layout using a technique called slicing. Check this out!
  22. Wow your graphics designing skills are so pro! What program did you make these sigs with?
  23. Are you talking about Adobe Photoshop? Is the same technqique usable in other image software?
  24. I';ve found a list of programs to use if you ever need to create animated gifs images. Check them out here. Some are free, some aren't. Enjoy!
