I've heard different things lately about meta data ... some have said that Google does look at it a little. :/ ... Only Google really knows for sure. Since meta data can be used to cheat, there will never be that much weight put into meta information. I think thought, the description meta data can be used for display in the engine results - at least this is what I've seen in the past. As others have said, the key is in page titles and page content. Stefan

Does this database need to operate on the Web, or is this something you want for your own record keeping? ... When need more details as to what you need to do specifically? Stefan

No worries. I can't find half the stuff myself! Stefan

Hi, This has been discussed before ... check out this thread on preventing spam. Stefan

How are you trying to submit data? Regardless, that's weird. Stefan

You should be able to take the database backup, assuming it was an SQL dump, and plug that into the phpMyAdmin to recreate the Wordpress database. From reading your post, it would seem you attempted to manually added in the data? Stefan

Nice site Susie. .. You have the designers eye. Stefan

Hi, I appreciate the warning. This implementation will not allow you to vote up your own post and you can only vote for a post once. It is an experimental deployment and we will keep an eye out. Thanks again. Stefan

Thanks for the feedback. I think modern web designers have to learn at least 1 blog or CMS to base their work on; Wordpress I feel is a good choice because: - easy to learn - lots of themes - lots of plugins - mature: works well and it's hard to find bugs. I wrote this beginners article a while back that has a diagram and an explanation of how the wordpress theme engine works. ... It may give you another take on things. That said, I think there are several worthy options besides Wordpress. Stefan

Hi, PHPMailer is a PHP class (basically a bunch of code packaged up the OOP way) that allows you to do everything that the PHP mail() function does, but also a whole lot more. From the official site: You can download the free PHPMailer from sourceforge. Let us know if you have trouble using it. I hope that helps. Stefan

Glad you liked it. BTW, I am about to release new video tutorials to the killersites university this week. Stefan

'Active posts' was buried and hidden away, as was the forum's RSS feed - sadly, like so others many things on killersites! I'm working with Ben and others to try to bring this stuff forward. BTW, I also have some new ideas for additions to the forum that I think will make it more fun. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you guys like the changes. Stef

Hi, I noticed that Andrea just put up a Wordpress blog - something new. If I recall Andrea, you were taking our Wordpress theme video tutorial ... how is that going (with the tutorial) and what do you think about working with Wordpress overall? Stefan

Cool stuff Andrea. I was invited by someone weeks ago, but I have not used it enoguh to know if I could send invites. :| Andrea, have you used it? And if so, what do you think of it? Stefan

Try searching for 'Google Wave invitation' ... and see what comes up. ... Search on Google that is. Let us know. Stefan

Take a look at Google wave - I think it has chat too.

BTW, thanks for subscribing to the university. Stefan

The easiest way is to use heredoc. Stefan

Thanks. Stef

Hi, I was just checking through the records and noticed that this new forum is already over a year old! ... Still not as popular as the old forum when it comes to the search engines, but I think in terms of aesthetics and functionality (especially with the latest upgrade) we are better off. Anyway, thanks to all for making this place worthwhile. Stefan

Hi, You just need to update the Quicktime player to the latest version. Stefan

As long as the tags are well formed, you are fine. Stefan

Always test in the browsers. The 'design view' in Dreamweaver is only there to give you an idea (a good idea though ...) of what the page will look like in the browsers. F12 is your friend in Dreamweaver - it pops open your browser so you can see your page as it actually looks. But you have to set this in the preferences. In terms of what browsers to test with, you always want to go with the browsers that are being used by the public. These days, that's: IE 8 IE 7 IE 6 Firefox on Windows and Mac If your site looks good in Firefox, it should work in most other browsers (not including IE6, and IE7). Stefan

Thanks for plug! Stef
