Since the last two weeks more or less i notice that the Xisto's forums has been attacked by spammers, my question is if there is a way to avoid this problem because it is very annoying.BTW, i don't know if it is the correct place for this post, so, if it is not please an admin move it to the correct place.Best regards,

TheUnreal, right now i just test the link of the first website that you said that doesnt work and i also test the download link again and everything works fine for me.

 

If you need it this the download the Free Stock Icon Part 1 direct url from where you can get it.

 

Quatrux, i agree with you, and that is the main reason i have when i decide to post this list of useful websites.

I thought almost everyone knew of this particular Google "hack", so to speak. I've been using it for quite some time, mainly to function as a searching tool for sites that lack good searching functions. Google does seem to function quite well in that respect, better than most sites that have programmed their own native search engine. Though, I suppose that's to be expected since their entire business is about search.

I don't know if almost everyone knew this "hack", my purpose was to show an easy and simple way to do it, and BTW i use it in the same way as you do.

I'm not sure why you'd check your competitor's websites like that though--it's far more important to focus on the content than just on the keyword level within the content. I'm pretty sure those large news (especially ones with a print version) sites don't spend their times analyzing how many words of a certain kind to put into their content. That's for people who are obsessed with SEO and frankly, have crappy websites that aren't promotable without SEO. If your content is appealing, it'll get the needed backlinks and move up the ranks. Moreover, I think if you really wanted to do SEO effectively, just using Google's site:something.com keyword isn't going to cut it. There are better tools out there that do more detailed analyzing for the sole purpose of this, and it's better to use those instead.

The main reason to check your competitors websites using this kind of search is to view quickly if for some keywords your competitors have a better rank than you have, and thus be able to decide whether it is worth to optimize your website for those keywords with good content of course.

Hi Friend,

I am new to this forum but i have been in some huge forums by my experience got lots

of things from internet marketing, which will help you get the best profit from your desktop

computer,,.....

have you ever think of keywords, have you ever find your highly recommended niche KW

for free ...as you thought that it could be happen just with keywords tools which are expensive

like Keyword elite....

but now i want to show you that you could get your niche KW for your niche market and even

use this tool to find better information of your market all for free which even you couldn't thought

of it.......i.e: know which of your keywords iin your niche have better traffic...less competitor...low

CPC...and even high CTR....

yes you got all these information from one simple free product...huge....!!! yes absolutely..even you

could find that in what KWs your competitors use an rank for......

but lets talk what it is ....?? this tool is Google Keyword External ....you could reach to the tool ...Free

Here: https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner

Great tool, thanks for share it, i just test it and the results that i get are very interesting, only one thing left, apply the results .

 

Best regards,

Here is a quick and easy way to see what content you have or even your competitors for any given keyword phrase using the Google Toolbar or the Google's search box. In your Google toolbar or the search box on Google.com type in:

site:website.com Keyword Here

This way you can see how much content you have and how much content your competitors have and create a plan to build your content and beat them out.

So for example if you wanted to search CNN website -because it is your competitor- to see how many pages refer to election you would type:

site:http://edition.cnn.com/ election

Best regards,

I set it up to 100.01% because this value is the defacto standard of allmost all web browsers, generally, 1em = 12pt = 16px = 100%, and i want that my page looks good and readable across browsers. Why i use 100.01% instead of 100% only? I don't remember exactly why, but, i remeber its something related with the calculated font sizes and the math process involved to get the correct values. Also, many web authors prefer to set this to 76% or 81%, for a smaller-but-still-readable look across browsers.

 

Now, i have other reasons to use a percent value for the root element:

The text is resizable in all Web browsers that support resizing.

This stops IE from going micro and keeps the text more or less legible when the user sets the font size to smallest.

Percent text scales at a reasonable rate, allowing us to preserve readability, accessibility, visual design, and also remains fully scalable for mobile devices.

Usability purposes, users won’t want to see anything smaller than 100% font-size for the main text.

I could use 1em instead but after reading some articles i decide to use the percent value. For example, if you set the body element to font-size:1em, then when setting the client’s browser text size to "smallest" ems looks much smaller than percent and if you set to "largest" ems looks much larger than percent.

 

So, what i generally use is a combination of a percent value for the root element and ems values for children elements. With this combination i get: Relative sizing, good browser support and centralised control in the css file, but this can be easily overriden by user stylesheet.

 

I will check the Reset Reloaded page and another reset solution i know is the CSS Reset Tool offered by the Yahoo User Interface (YUI) library. The YUI library have 3 more CSS Tools, CSS Base, CSS Fonts and CSS Grids.

 

Take a look, from YUI website:

CSS Reset (neutralizes browser CSS styles)

CSS Base (applies consistent style foundation for common elements)

CSS Fonts (foundation for typography and font-sizing)

CSS Grids (more than 1,000 CSS-driven wireframes in a 4KB file)

Best regards,

I just found these two useful plugins and deserve to be added to the list.

Dust-Me Selectors: This tool helps you find the unused selectors on a web page. A handy feature for developers.

IE Tab: Though Internet Explorer 7 is becoming more popular than the outdated and developer enemy 6th version, it still has many rendering issues you might want to check when developing sites.

IE Tab allows you view the page in IE render inside the same tab, without having to launch the program.

Yesterday while i'm searching for some web icons that i will need to use with a new project I get into visiting lots of useless websites and found only a few useful ones, so after i found what i'm looking for i decide to share it and i compile this tiny list of some usable sets of free web icons that you could use some day and don't waste your time like me.

 

List of usable sets of free web icons:

Free Stock Icon Part 1

Free eCommerce icons

24 Free Web Stock Icons

Free Icons Web

IconzWorld

Simply visit each page and press the download link to get them, and the last two sites contains hundreds of icons and i include them if you need more types of icons.

 

Best regards,

In the past i came into the situation that every time i start a new development project and to get things well organized, i began it by creating some default folders that i know i must use like for example a folder for images or for css styles, and at the same time i create some default files that includes:

index.html: An empty HTML template page with defaults tags like title, meta tags for keywords, description and content type.

base.css: A central css stylesheet that i use to reset some styles like margins, paddings, fonts, colors, etc.

functions.js: An empty javascript file.

So, instead of repeating it over and over again and after been working like this with every new project a time ago i realize that this could be optimized especially in the case of the new central css stylesheet.

 

Now, when i start a new project what i include in this base style sheet is a set of default rules to reset styles for common elements:

Reset font size and font family for all elements to standard (16 Pixel):

html * { 	font-size: 100.01%;	height:100%;}body { 	height:100%;	font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;	font-size:100.1%;}

Settings for Headings: Font size and margin/padding for headings are displayed different in Internet Explorer 6 than other browsers:

h1 { 	font-size:200%;}

Also, IE6 renders the font sizes differently (mostly for Georgia, Trebuchet MS, etc. typefaces, so for all browsers:

h1, h2, h3 {	margin:1em 0;}h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { 	font-weight:bold;}

Removing Link Outlines: Especially with Firefox, links get bordered and outlined on focus and active states. Simply because i don't like it i deactivate this:

a {	outline: none;}

Resetting Margin and Paddings: I reset the paddings and margins for some elements mostly because IE renders them ratherly different than major standards based browsers:

/* html *, body { margin:0; padding:0; } */p, form, ul, ol, dt, dd {	margin:0;	padding:0;}

Linked Images without borders: I remove image borders to prevent that an unstyled img element gains borders when they are hyperlinked but take in mind that by removing outlines may reduce accessibility and also removing outlines and borders on focus or hover states will theorically disable browsing using tab key:

img {	outline: none;}

Of course, you may change whatever you want it depends on what you need

I just sign up at piczo's website and try it's photo page service just for fun, and the results are awesome, in just a few minutes i create an excelent page with my photos to share with my family and friends, so, thank you for share it.

Also, after reading the piczo's partners page i found another excelent site called Widgetbox, this site offers a lot of diferent widgets of categories like music, audio, technology, jobs, games, etc. which you can use and embeed into your own website, blog or social site like facebook, myspace, igoogle, etc.

I don't visit the other site because i allways prefer to visit advanced pages first, maybe later i do.

Ok wutske, thanks for the information, i will check it out later, and i think it was windows media player

 

Jeigh, i will follow your sugestion and i will download it later too.

 

Best regards,

Well finally i found a solution for the second problem i have, the one related to the IE Save as... dialog and JPG files extension.The way i get rid of it is by changing the way explorer shows files extensions, what i do is to simply check back to the default behaviour of it, to not show file extensions of files windows knows.Best regards,

Of course, you are partly right. Maybe I was not fully clear in my main topic text. I did not want to fully change it, I wanted to add a new value to the system path variable.When you just add a binary file named "sqlplus.exe" in the c:\oracle\client folder you just created, Windows cannot know that you placed your binaries there. So, if you want to simply type "splqplus" instead of typing it's full pathname c:\oracle\client\sqlplus.exe, it's location must included in the Path variable, else Windows will answer "file not found".
Same thing if you want to use the portable version of OpenOffice located on your USB flashdisk, E:\OpenOfficePortable must be added to your environment if you want to use the software without typing cd e:\blahblah first.
This is rather classical in the Unix/Linux way of thinking, you must edit your .profile or .bashrc environment file and add a new folder in your PATH string. What is nice is that you can also work this way to windows, simply you use my topic instead of type "vi .profile" or "vi .login" like in Linux.
For instance in my topic concerning how to access a remote Oracle database, the path to sqlplus.exe must be added in the Path variable. I emphasize that it must be added, and not replacing. And it must be in the system environment in order to be usable by any user, else you will have to change it for each user.

Ok, i understand your point better, but, as i said before, you got the same functionality if you add it to the user environment variables instead to the system variables, the difference is that if you add it to the system variables it will be available to all of the users that can access that computer, while in the other case, it will be only available to the user that set it up.

BTW, i took the time to read your other post, and it helps me to completely understand your point, also, i think that both topics are very helpful for everybody. Nice work .

Best regards,

Personally I just stick to VLC. It has such a streamlined design that is minimalist without lacking functionality and comes with pretty much every codec I need. I use it all the time for most if not all of my media needs so it'd take something pretty special to dethrone it from my top ranked applications lol. Personally I just want a media player to play media. All the extra doo-dads that many players incorporate now do nothing, in my eyes, but bloat the system and slow things down when what I'm looking for is a simple librarying system for media and the ability to listen to, watch, etc the media I've collected.</rant>
I might give GOM a try when I get home, as you seem to back it strongly. But I doubt it'll win my love haha

I agree, that's what we need, a player to play our media, nothing more, and yes, i back it strongly because of the reasons i said in my previous posts.

Now, regarding VLC, i just search and found it and seems to be a good player too, but is a shame that when i try to download it from its website, its shows a warning telling that i need to compile its source code because it is out of date . This is from the VLC's downloads page:

Warning: The following package is not up-to-date with the latest official version of the software. When using an out-of-date version, you may encounter important bugs or security holes. If you wish to use the latest version of the software, you may need to download source code and compile the software manually, or wait for someone else to do it.

The latest version i found for Windows 2000 is 0.9.4, do anybody know if it deserves to be downloaded???
Best regards,

Seems like a nice media player, even though I'm feeling fine with VLC and Quick time Alternative.. even though I used to use Quintessential Player, it is better in some way than Winamp, but after some time I moved back to Winamp and simply am using it to play music, for video I just use VLC and Quick time alternative if VLC doesn't show some video files and for the codecs I have installed K-lite codec pack which seems to be quite enough to play everything, even though I can't play some video files from several mobile phones, they only somehow work with full installation of Quick Time from apple and I rally dislike quick time because of it's appearance and stuff.
Even though I never got, for what reason quick time alternative doesn't play it either..

I was a big fan of WinAmp for a long time till it stoped to work fine with my Win2k machine even i had the time to create a couple of skins for me and my friends. As for Quicktime, I never liked this program because all the time it gave me troubles and it's performance comparing to other players is very bad, even till now I can not be able to uninstall it from my PC.

And i agree with you, it's appearance is very ugly.

Best regards,

Regarding the system path environment variable, i don't say that it is not correct but it is not absolutely necesary to change this system variable because you can get exactly the same result if you simply add another user environment variable called path and enter as its value the same value that you use with the system path variable.Also, i think that it would be possible to do this if you use a login script, but it is more complicated.BTW, do you remember the autoexec.bat and autoexec.nt files????Best regards,

Tundergun, you are welcome.

 

wutske, first of all please tell me something, when you say Mplayer do you mean windows media player??? if it is true, well to be honest , i don't like that player especially its equalizer so i try to not use it almost all the time, and second, sorry but i don't know the VLC player, saying that, for me the GOM player is much better than Mplayer, for example it's audio capabilities are very powerful compared with Mplayer.

 

I just start using it for a couple of months more or less and in this short time I'm very happy with it, my general experience with this player is very positive and i like it very much, some reasons to this are: it has an excelent audio support, it's interface is simple and easy to use, and it's overall performance is excellent.

 

Magiccode9, I don't know, may be if i uninstall it for my computer i could see what happens, and do you know where are located the registry keys of the codecs?

 

Best regards,

I have some question in mind that need solution so please
1) What is benefit of using header and footer tag in our web page ?
2) How we can registered our website on any search engine?
3) Did I use animated image without flash in website.?
4) What is the correct way to display web page on center in any browser.? if we use css style ?

I have little idea off all question answer but i need specific help so welcome.

Thanks

1. To have your design well organized, generally speaking, you use the header to put your company logo or website title and usualy a search box and/or ads, and the footer is used to put some general stuff like your privacy policy and site map links, also you put here your copyright.

2. Usually search engines have a page where you can use to Add your URL on it, for example, visit the following page to Add your URL to Google.

3. Yes, for that you use Gif files.

4. Do you mean to center horizontally, vertically or both??? Also, It depends on the HTML version of your page, for example if you want to center your page horizontally with HTML 4 you can use the CENTER tag and if you use XHTML you can do it with a CSS style like the following:

html {   height:100%;   padding:0;   margin:0;}body {   margin:0 auto;   text-align:center;   height:100%;   padding:0;}

In PHPmyadmin where i see my databases i see information_schema. Is that considered a database? because in my website i use only 1 database, so if its not considered a database i don't have to choose 5 databases and have to pay an extra 0.99$ per month. If its a database, can i just delete it?

Yes, the information_schema is considered a database because it is the MySql Server core database which stores every thing about all of your databases and you can't delete or even modify it or it's content.
Now regarding if it counts in your databases list, well I think that this database does not count because of what i say before.
