  1. Those who are intrested in creating flash site you must visit this site RY Guy. This site got the best design award from macromedia. It's so interactive, light and colorful. Also dont forget to visit his old site also. Post your reviews about the site here.


    Hey,

    Talking about cool flash sites. I have come across this site and it's heavy man. The only problem is that it takes too long to load, well oat least on my machine. But the way it's done is truly professional. Well it was done by a bunch of garphic designers.

  2. As early as late 2004 Google made news saying that it can search and read through what is written in flash. And there has been much hype over this, even Yahoo also is learned to have been able index flash sites and its content. But the fact is that it can never be the same as those of non-flash sites. Even if they are index they seem to be in the bottom of the search engine results.
    This way of analysis has been made and an article on this has been posted HERE

    Therefore, after reading this article I have come to the conclusion that flash sites are not indexed properly like non-flash sites.

    Hey,

    If you want your flash site to be indexed you should use internal links when linking to your homepage as opposed to absolute links. The problem is that google spiders will ignore absolute links in a web page because normally absolute links take you to another web site so the spider cannot finish indexing a site propperly if it's being sent somewhere else. What you should do is on your intro page, if you have one, use internal links only to link to your homepage where you have your flash movie or whatever. This way at least your intro page will be indexed so visitors can find their way to your site.

    BY the way:

    absolute links are like: http://forums.xisto.com/
    and internal links are like mysite/images/index.html

    Let me know how you get on.

  3. Hi all,Please VOTE in the poll .. in addition to posting.
    Thanks

    Hey.

    The opposite rather. Even though there is a lot of crap out there there is so much good information also that you can only prosper. Anytime I have a question I turn on the computer and google it. If you want to absolutely make sure that stuff is true you need to check and see if others have said the same thing. How can the internet make you stupid? I don't get it.

  4. So what's the best HTML editor? Or at least what you use? I searched in Google, and they (of course) all claim to be good, and I think they are. But what do you guys use? (Or do you just use Notepad? :D )
    Oh yeah, I'd prefer free ones! :angry:

    Edit: Can someone move this post? I'm so sorry but I posted in the wrong forum... :angry:


    Hey,

    they must be millions of free html editors out there. The Mozilla editor is supposed to be preety good. However, real developers only use notepad. Well, you could get some sort of editor that has a syntax checker but you don't really need one if you just doing html and css.


  5. I have created this tutorial to demonstate some of the more advance searching techniques in the worlds most famous search engine Google (google.com for the none of you that dont know). I am going to discuss features that can be used to googles best abilities and find almost any thing. Using this technique you can download just about any tutorials, texts, ebooks, mp3s etc... first off i do not promote nor do i encourage warez so by reading this (in your head or out loud) you give up the right to blame me if you get caught. Right then now that thats out of the way lets get onto some searching!!

     

    :: Keyword Amounts ::

    When you go to Google and you plan on searching something e.g. networking Google will search its billions of indexed web pages for the string "networking" that occurs in the page at least once and displays the link to it on the search results. However, what would happen if you typed: networking networking

    Google would search its mass of indexed webpages and display the links to the ones that have the word Networking twice or more. So typing something twice in Google will probably get more descriptive/detailed web pages.

     

    :: Quotes ::

    Ahh now, here i will introduce quotes. In the last paragraph i explained that when you type a keyword into Google then it searches is massive vault of indexed webpages for that keyword, well what if you wanted to search google for this:

     

    Fair enough, you want to search for harry potter, but can you spot whats wrong with it? It would find pages that have "harry potter" in and "harry" and "potter" giving you a list of pages completely off the mark and nothing to do with harry potter. This is where we introduce quotes, so enclose quotes around your search string to form this:

     

    now Google would only look for pages with the string "Harry Potter" in the page, so if a page had "harry" in but not "potter" Google wouldn't include that in its results.

     

    :: Including and Excluding Keywords ::

    Now i find this interesting, with this you can really make Google do tricks like a Dog giving you its paw. Whilst searching a subject you may be trying to search a specific area of a subject. E.g. you search for "Networking" but you only want to find pages on Wireless networking, well as in the last paragraph you cannot simply type:

     

    try typing...

     

    you will get information on wireless networking but you will also still get information on wired/normal networking techniques. E.g. if a page has this written on it:

     

    This is where "Including and Excluding" comes in, using the + and - signs you can include and exclude strings from your search. E.g.

     

    will give you information on wireless networking routers but nothing on wired networking, see what i mean.

     

    :: Site and Link parameters ::

    I will now tell you about finding information on a certain website or finding out what sites are linking back to a specific site. Now the "site:url" command basically tells Google to only look for the following data on the site 'url'. E.g.

     

    will search the site "Xisto.com" for the string "Free Hosting" not "Free", not "Hosting" but "Free Hosting", if the website doesn't contain the exact string "Free Hosting" then Google will not return anything because it cant find anything. Another example:

     

    With that Google will search all websites that have the extension ".co.uk" appended to the end of their url and look through all the .co.uk websites for the words "Free" and "Email".

    Now onto the "link:" command. Now the link command finds links in its indexed webpages. For example you submit to Google, 'link:google.com', and it will find all the webpages with a link to google on it. Like the 'site:' command you can also search domain extensions. 'link:.org.uk' will find all the webpages with links to UK Organizations.

     

    :: Search Titles, URLs and Filetypes ::

    Google has the ability to search webpages' titles and urls. You can search for a keyword in the url or title, for example:

     

    will search for all the pages google has indexed on google.com, its just like the site: command except not as accurate in my opinion. One feature that can be said for the inurl command though is that it can search for filenames as well, e.g. 'inurl:hotmail.com/INDEX.HTML' where as the 'site:' command cannot, it can only search the url from: www. to .com/.org/.net/etc...

    Now about searching titles...

    the 'intitle:' is extremely handy, you can search for webpages on anything like this:

     

    will search for a harry potter fan site, you can also find empty directories issuing this command:



    intitle:"Index of /"

    because "Index of" is the default text shown on a directory with no index page and no htaccess code protecting it it will search all of its indexed pages for empty directories.

    Now onto the Filetypes, Google can also search specific filetypes, say c source code if you wanted to. The basic command is

    filetype:

    you can use this in conjunction with the site command to find some neat stuff, it can also be used maliciously you'll know what i mean after this.

    site:microsoft.com filetype:asp inurl:"admin/login"

    that will tell Google to look for the indexed pages of microsoft.com that are ASP pages and the url contains "admin/login" so basically it is looking for something like "microsoft.com/restricted/admin/login.asp" or something like that, you can now see why it is a security flaw, it can find pages you cant.

     

    :: Other Info ::

    Now Google can be stopped from peeking its nosy little robots into your site by creating a ROBOTS file, it basically tells automatic spider robots (automated programs sent from search engines like Google to index your pages and give the search engine a list of pages). Now im not going to go into the subject in this tutorial because this is on Google. But i have just done a quick search on Google and found:

    outfront.net/tutorials_02/adv_tech/robots.htm

    which is a tutorial on the subject.

    Now you may be curious to see what robot files look like, well lets use what i've shown you today,

    inurl:"robots.txt" filetype:txt

    Will search for all pages that has 'robots.txt' in the URL of the site and the filetype is a txt file.

    Just to let you know that all of the explained above togetther can create a very powerful search query and allow a user to find almost anything on Google and virtually the Internet because Google has Billions of pages indexed on more subjects you could ever think of.

     

    This has not been a complete search guide to Google but should get you started.

    You can find more info on advance google searching at: https://www.google.co.uk/help/operators.html

    or i can save you alot of time instead of reading all this and just go to Googles Advance Search form page :angry: :angry: :Dhttps://www.google.com/advanced_search

     

    Hope you enjoyed it and found it very informative and edumacational :D

    Fixed BBCode, only 10 quote tags are allowed, so I changed the last few to code tags.

     


    Hey Google fans!

     


    I think I know another cool google trick. You can also use it as calculator. If you type 5 +7 for example, the next page loaded will return the result. Try it out. Google also has some hidden things like if you type funny stuff you will get a google collection of funny stuff. Let me know if you find other cool google stuff. I wanne know !!!!!!!!



  6. :angry: Crunk (or krunk) is a specific type of hip hop music, based out of the southern United States, particularly Atlanta, Georgia. While most crunk-style music could be called "Dirty South" or southern rap, the reverse is not necessarily true. Eightball & MJG for example have a more "Southern funk" sound. its epitomised by the kings of crunk, lil jon and the eastside boys :angry:


    GUYS!

    YOU NEARLY GOT IT RIGHT BUT THIS WHAT IT MEANS

    To get crunk means to get really ****ed up and smoked up on marihuana. Hence the term crunk which consists of the words drunk and chronic (American slang for marihuana). You know I mean.

  7. ok, i know myspace is a website like any other out there in the world, but what is it that people like about it so damned much? i mean a year and a half ago NOONE knew about it....and it has been the cause of many young ladies being picked up by these oldperverted men and being raped etc...lol before we had to worry about chat rooms....not anymroe its myspace they need to be worried about....about a week ago a 3rd grader asked me how to set-up a myspace account, and i was like pshh im not going to tell you, you shouldn't be on a site like that..lol but please tell me, why does everyone like myspace suddenly? i mean it seems to be the thing to have now adays, i know it has been going on for like 4-5 months now but still....

    Notice from BuffaloHELP:
    Refrain from using unnecessary characters for topic title. Make sure it's as descriptive as though the title itself can be a post.


    Hey,

    Yeah dude, myspace is totally boring man. It seems to attract lots of youngsters though who want to learn mor e about blogs since they are being mentioned everywhere now. I guess it's the closest thing to building a real website with your own domain. Myspace is now owned by EW Scripps a big media company from the States. They also own Shopzilla, Bizrate and Uswitch. Shopzilla is the best though out of the lot, or am I just saying that cos I work there? Probably.

  8. Whilst I agree with this in many respects, I am concerned about the detrimental effects this might bring about.
    It would be much nicer - and healthier - to live in a smoke free environment, but far less pleasant to be surrounded by people who are anxious, depressed, miserable and totally stressed out.

    It's easy to say that all one needs to quit smoking is willpower. Maybe for some strong minded people it is, but what about those who don't find it so easy. Let's not forget that nicotine is a very powerful drug, some say even more potent than heroin.

    What about thoses individuals whose quality of life is already poor and who have an obsessional addiction to cigarettes. Even with quit smoking aids, the process of giving up the cigarette is going to be touching impossible, there is an undeniable need to replace the cigarette with something else but if you have little else in your life how do you achieve this?

    And what about those smokers who's only source of interaction with others take place in pubs, clubs etc. Should we be easy in the knoowledge that they may become totally isolated. Wouldn't it have een better to have a mixture of smoking/non-smoking venues. A non-smoker would always have the choice of whether or not to frequent these establishments, either as an employee or patron.

    I only hope that when this comes into force, my predictions don't come true.
    And how are they going to police it anyway.


    Hey,

    I have actually written an article about the smoking ban for my MA and as it tuns out the council will have to set up a type of smoking police that will inspect pubs and bars on a regular basis. This in return will cost lots of money which tax payers will have to pay. In addition the mst effective way of policing the ban will be by having landlords and pub owners enforce the ban. They will risk losing their licence if they let people smoke. In Scotland however many people were found dodging the ban and continue to smoke, particularly if the landlord doesn't enforce the ban. That's why there is need for someone to police the ban otherwise people will just continue to smoke . I love smoking.
