I am on my way to meet him, but in the mean while i had something intersting to share with you’ll. Go on read and let me know if you have to say anything. By the way, now you can catch me regularly on this blog…

Internal CSS :

An internal style sheet is a section on an HTML page that contains style definitions. Internal style sheets are defined by using the

Page With an Internal Style Sheet

This page contains style definitions at the top of the HTML code.

Internal style sheets allow a designer to define styles for an HTML page.

External CSS :

An external style sheet is a file with a .css extension that contains style definitions. It might look something like this:

body { background: #C2DAED }
h1 { color: #3270A4; font: bold 14px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica }
p { font: 12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica }

External style sheets can be linked to multiple pages for a consistent look across a site.

Difference :

The difference between internal and external style sheets is pretty simple. Both are referenced within the head section of a web page ().

1. But external style sheets are much easier to use in the long run, as they allow you to make design changes to an entire site by simply changing one file.

In the case of an internal style sheet, styles are referenced within the page itself. For example, your head section may look something like this:

2. When using an external style sheet, the styles are called by using an external page (the file extension is .css) to define the styles for that page.

3. Another great reason to use external style sheets as opposed as internal style sheets is that it keeps your code much shorter in each page, simplifying editing, and since the browser has already loaded the external style sheet once the first page has been loaded, the following pages (if using the same external style sheet) will load faster than if the styles are defined internally.

favorites icon

Pottson — Fri, 22 May 2009 14:18:44 +0000

Are you crazy about displaying your company icon in your address bar. I am giving you some good information here.

A favicon (short for favorite icon, sometimes understood as favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most graphical web browsers will then make use of it. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page’s favicon in the browser’s Address bar and next to the page’s name in a list of bookmarks.

Internet Explorer (“IE”) 5.0 and above has a facility where, if someone bookmarks your website (ie puts it in their “Favorites” menu), it associates a particular icon with your website in the bookmark. It tries to obtain that icon by first requesting for “favicon.ico” from the directory of your web page. If it cannot find such a file, it will try to obtain it from the root directory of your website, failing which, it will simply use a default icon for the bookmark.

On the other hand, the favicon.ico file is available, the icon will also be displayed beside your website name in the “Favorites” menu, the location bar in IE, and if the user opens up the “Favorites” folder, it will be the icon used for the link to your site.

Opera and Firefox also have the ability to use the favicon.ico file. In fact, Firefox also accepts the file in other graphics formats, such as the PNG format. These browsers display the “favicon.ico” in the location bar of the browser.
Are you ready to create favorites icons?. Checkout how to create Favicon.ico

Helping the Browser Locate the favicon.ico file

If you have placed your favicon.ico file in a location other than the current web directory (relative to your web page) or the root directory, you have to help your visitors’ browser locate the favicon file by specifying it with a tag like the following in the section of your web page.

You should replace “/favicon.ico” in the above example with the actual location of your favicon.ico file, for example, “/images/favicon.ico” if you have placed it in your “/images/” directory.

Submit your site to MSN

Pottson — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:34:30 +0000

In the last 4 posts I had explained about how to submit your web site in google. Today I am going to tell you how to submit your site in MSN.

MSN is another one of the big search sites in the world, people use it daily, So if you want to have a popular site, its important to add yours to MSN. Once you add your web site in MSN, your site gets listed.

It is very easy to add your web site into MSN.

step 1 : Go to http://beta.search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx.

step 2 : Type the characters from the picture

Once you open the page, you will see a picture which will display some chracters for you to type into the text box.

step 3 : Type the URL of your homepage

Below the text box you will find one more text box where you have to type the URL of your home page.

step 4 : Click SubmitURL

After clicking submit URL button you will see a page which will say

Thank you for submitting your URL to Live Search

MSNBot automatically indexes pages that meet accepted standards for content, design, and technical implementation.

This change will not be reflected immediately, so please be patient and check back periodically.

Google sitemap.xml step 4 & 5

Pottson — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 09:56:59 +0000

Again we are back with last two steps of Google sitemap.xml.

Step 4: Uploading & registering your page :

Ok now you can upload everything to your site. You should put everything in the public_html file or in the www. (the main dir of your site)

When you are done then go to this link: http://www.google.com/addurl
Fill in your site and a little description. Now comes a important step, add the WWW tags! If you forget them you can start over (start from step4) unless you change all the url’s in the sitemap.xml and remove the www tags.

Then you get a thank you screen saying your urls is added (Not really true but that doesnt matter)

Step 5: Controlling your site :

Now you can wait and hope for google to index your site good and wish that everything is ok, or you can control it yourself by signing up in the webmasters part of google. You need a gmail account for this.

Go to this link: Click me!!!
sign in with your gmail account and then you can add your site. Also note to add your site with the www tags. After you are done then you can send your sitemap.xml to google . This will save alot of time, you now tell google to add sites to there index instead of waiting for them to get your links…

But before you can check out the cool stuff google has to offer, you need to add another meta tag. You add this on on your index.html file. For example this one:

Ok this is for google only, you won’t gain anything for it. It tells google that you are the webmaster and that you now can view important things of your site.

Ok there are some important things you can do like sitemap.xml. Right let us start with the sitemap, just upload it to google and wait, till then you have to wait and wait and wait. It will take some time.

checkout step 3

Google sitemap.xml step 3

Again back with Some more steps check it out below..

[u]Step 3: Meta tags[/u]
Meta tags are big, important and there are books of 100 pages about them… If you really want to learn much for it i suggest you use google and search for meta tags and read much! I’m going to cover over the basics and most important once (don’t shoot me for not including all of them!)

So you got your html page, for example index.htmlitled Document

Hello everyone

Good now between the tags where going to add or tags. Like i said there are many meta tags but i am going over the basic

This is for giving a description about your site.

Here i give keyword, keywords are the words related for your site. If i make a site about cookies i might add following keywords: Cookie, good cookies, chocolate cookies. You separated them whit a ,

This tells the robot that they have to follow any link they will find. So a robot comes on your page then it will follow any link on that page. You can also use this to block a page so robots wont visit it.

Here we automatically refresh the page after 60 seconds.
Your copyright comes here
who made the page
the language (also important for google)
This say when a robot has to revist the page every 30 days. (Remember our sitemap? you also can do it whit meta tags ) But because people spammed this most robots ignore it. But it does not hurt to include it

Oke now here is my index.html page of my cookie site.titled Document
Hello everyone

Do this for every page you got, but remember to add good keywords and description. There are also some online tools that prove to be the best meta generator, you can use them but a machine never can beat a human

If your ready go to the next step, you should have by now, a sitemap.xml, robots.txt and your site.
