I found this very interesting that they were talking about web 3.0 as a better way to search for a web pages... The about.com editor thought it would be a virtual world where you could walk into virtual buildings and stores. I really dont know what its going to hold but I know there will be alot of competition in the future. They also talk about the web doing a bulk of work for you referring to copy and paste. Give me your thoughts?
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, once said, “The web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.” It’s only a matter of time before web 3.0 -- better known as the “semantic web”-- rolls around, making web 2.0 -- the web as we know it today -- a thing of the past. Though there is a debate among experts as to when exactly web 3.0 will arrive, most predict it’s sooner rather than later.
In the beginning…
Web 1.0 was all about basics. With this first iteration, social networking was merely a dim glimmer in the minds of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and MySpace founders Tom Andersen and Chris DeWolfe. Back then, websites provided information with little opportunity for user interaction and feedback -- a one-way process dubbed “read-only”. The most interactive user activities involved chat and instant messaging.
Then web 2.0 came along and introduced the world to blogs, social-networking sites, and a host of self-publishing tools. Articles are now accompanied with “comments” tools, and any hack with a computer can create a blog. Content exploded on the web, and a considerable portion of it is created by average users.
Booming web audience
The first decade also saw a tremendous leap in the growing number of online users. Mobile devices have also made 24-hour access to the web -- anywhere, anytime -- readily available: Simply sit at Starbucks and read email, check the news, and browse the web while sipping a Frappucino.
What Web 3.0 holds in store
What industry analysts foresee for the next version is a more personalized and easy-to-use web, eliminating several steps from your online searches to make them quicker. Hence, your computer is 'smarter’ and can better understand what you are searching for. According to PC Magazine, “the Semantic Web is a place where machines can read web pages much as we humans read them, a place where search engines and software agents can better troll the Net and find what we're looking for.”
For example, if you are planning a weekend getaway to a mountain lodge and you want to make sure that there are convenience stores nearby, you wouldn’t have to conduct separate searches for lodges and stores. The web would simply deliver search results for both and categorize it in such a way that you would know which places are more convenient. What web 3.0 then promises is a more personalized, faster method of search that is tailored to your needs. And experts predict that this could also simplify the current problem of sifting through pages and pages of irrelevant web search results.
Virtual world: Others also speculate whether web 3.0 will eventually develop into a virtual world. Writing in About.com, Daniel Nations explains that it’s a possibility that Web users would eventually be able to walk into virtual buildings and stores online.
What this means for your computer
With every technological advance, older gadgets are eventually replaced by new ones. While web 3.0 doesn’t necessarily mean you'll need a more powerful computer, the average lifespan for most computers is still 4 to 5 years and that isn’t expected to change. You can have your computer in top-notch shape as web 3.0 approaches by doing preventive maintenance to keep it healthy with help from programs like Computer Checkup Premium or System Mechanic.
Computer Checkup Premium, for example, cleans registries, removes clutter by clearing out temporary or unwanted files, and helps your hard drive run more quickly by rearranging data to remove fragments. It also speeds up your computer and ensures your PC’s hard drive is operating at its maximum potential.
WWW and information overload
One drawback, some say, to these web technologies is that they could make it easier to rely on the web to do the bulk of your work for you. Once upon a time, the fear was that television would dull creativity and mental stimulation, and now the worry is that the Internet has replaced TV in this regard.
As Chris Christensen, a computer executive and host of the Amateur Traveler podcast, says: “So we will hear stories about people for whom the web becomes an obsession. But that is no different from the couch potatoes who did not make good decisions about their TV habits.”
As we write this, tech experts are busy working on the advancement and improvement of an ever-evolving web. As the New York Times explains, “Their goal is to add a layer of meaning on top of the existing web that would make it less of a catalog and more of a guide -- and even provide the foundation for systems that can reason in a human fashion.”

Not a bad site, clean colors and smooth look. I just think that there is too much flash on the page, but that's just me. One thing that really irks me is the Contact Us column in your footer. Why have four links all going to the same page? I would just use one link, the location text, and the rest be text on the page. It would help better with SEO since your phone number would be on every page. Also, I really don't understand the disabled right click, makes no sense. A lot of people right click links to open in new tabs/windows and you're keeping that from happening. But overall, not bad, keep it up.
Thanks for the comments on the site. I think Your suggestion on the contact is very interesting and I like the idea. I will do that with the pages Sunday when I have more time. I disabled the right click because my generation of internet folks these days copy and paste everything on the internet. Then we move up the ladder to entry level people starting their sites and these people are all over the back end of your site with their browsers looking at your custom scripts all the way down to your time consuming lines of code you put in your site. Its so easy with browsers to do this today (go back six years and try) that once the majority of people get off of facebook and start wanting their own websites instead of their own personal page. Alot of copy writing from these people will take place all over the web.

Hi i m shefali,
I have almost full knowledge of html and some about java script. But i don't have knowledge about photoshop and any other thing what should I do for create my person website as well as come in to this field?
I would also suggest you or a employer getting a degree. You can be taught one on one by that person also. I would suggest going for the masters in web design. When your at the college for what ever degree you are taking drop by the professors rooms to go over what you have done on a web project. They are great at looking over custom scripts to experimenting with new styles etc.

I know the difference between a gif and flash - I was describing what I see, not explaining how it got there.
When I was on the home page and right-clicked, it closed the window on me and I was back on killersites. A right-click on one of the sub-pages where I tried it took me back to your home page.
I messed around with the script for a couple hours finally fixed it. The right click will never close the window. Nothing will happen. Thanks Andrea
nice site overall..just need some seo changes ..in keywords meta put max 12 keywords and start with low competitive keywords brother..overall your site is fantastic ..
Thanks for the comment. I have 16 keywords is there a limit for high engine ranking at 12? Thanks again.
Can you give us an example - his site is (among other things) about web design. Enter that into Google, you get almost half a BILLION hits!!!
What keyword would be 'low competitive' but still relative that could possibly create only a manageable number of results?
Andrea I changed the sliding mechanism because alot of people and you did not like it. I even dedicated to you Andrea in text on the site check it out..hehehee
I changed the image pop up and fade away in the right on all the pages except the index. Tell me what you think? -
The color scheme and layout are very nice. A couple things:
I don't understand the image in the bottom left hand corner how it goes from right then to left then to the right again? Maybe have this as a static image?
Definitely the errors are not good. Who knows - you could clean up 2-3 errors and most of the remaining errors could be cleaned up as well (sometimes 1 or 2 errors can lead to multiple errors)
Overall a nice job
Thanks for the comment I missed your comment for a second. I may just make the image static stand still. The effect I was getting was the image going through the second column then running into the 3rd column then backing up and going around the site and doing it again. I tried stopping the loop to see how that went but when its done it just disappears. I spent alot of time editing the effect just right to do that but I see how it can be annoying. Thanks for the comments.

Hi, I really like your site, let me ask you that/. what technique did you use for loafing the images at webdesign.php??
really nite effect
Thanks the jquery.lightbox-0.5.js edit it your needs make a CSS with it and insert the loading div infront of the image on the PHP page.

I hadn't noticed the right-click disable - apparently, the fancy flash-created rotating gif of the 90s had distracted me - but yes, that's definitely frowned upon. I don't get why you'd kick people of your site just because they right-click. One would think one would want to keep visitors.
And if the professors say that validating code is pointless, it must be so. I think we all understand that certain functions will cause validation errors, and those, one usually will have to live with, but I'd say that if you chose an XHTML doctype even so HTML would be the correct choice, at least you'd want to make sure you have the required XHTML closing tags. But that's just my opinion.
Its adobe flash and has nothing to do with a .gif..... I have had many compliments on it so your opinion will be added to the list. The right click does not close the site when you search through the search engine. Its only does it when linking the site. Thanks for the comments.

Brent try changing the pixels and position:
I see it in Google Chrome also
Hey I seen you have no
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
update that my friend.

Just got another request for click through info. Here's the question from the client:
"What is the preferred method for embedding the click through?"
Try embedding it in the actionscript with the flash banner. Then it might show up in the .swf files. How the client would see that I have no idea.

Hi,
yeah very nice site you have do some seo for site.
I think I rank very well in Bing and Yahoo. If you have some ideas for ranking better in google please share. Thanks for the comment.
The site is excellent, easy navagation, easy to understand pages, what fascinated me the most was the very easy on the eye layout, it actually kinda made me relax from a few hours of tension.
In my opinion, I think you have achieved perfection with the layout
but if your site ranks low then I don't think many can see the beauty of the layout Thanks for the nice comments. I am glad it helped you relax. We must share similar tastes because I based it on what I think of unique design and function.
114 validation errors and that rotating gif took me right back to 1995. There's too much motion on the page for my taste and for no good reason. By that I mean the rotating thing and that in-out moving image in the news update section.
Rotating .gif LOL its Flash.... I have seen the errors in W3c most are meta tag closings which I dont need and little errors that would mess up scripts. I ran it by a few web designer professors at the University of Wisconsin a few weeks ago and they said it makes little difference and could hurt the functions. I am going to start reviewing each line again to make sure thanks for the comment. Hmm we liked the flash rotating and slide we may change them in time. Thanks for the comments.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.bestad.org/Your layout and color choices, I feel are excellent. Nice and clean, but I must agree with Andrea. Those flipping and sliding graphics drive me nuts! What do they do for a visitor?
Thanks for the comments about the layout and feel of the site. I thought it would give a more interesting side of the site to visitors as the rest of the site I decided to lay off of it.
PS: I am surprised nobody went nuts about the right click disable. I thought that was going to get alot of negative feedback as it was a test to see if I should keep it on or not. About 90% of the people at the university and most of my generation, early 20s copy and paste for school and little have experience to bypass it like a webmaster.
Thanks
Michael

It depends whether your doctype is HTML or XHTML.
HTML strict and transitional and framesets should have only > to close meta tags and several other tags like img br hr input etc.
XHTML doctypes must have the above tags closed with /> and must have lower case for code markup (tag names).
Using the wrong closing tag will raise errors in a validator, but the page may still display OK as browsers often disregard errors. I doubt if it affects SEO.
Just gave your rep for a great comment.

I'll take a look at this in a bit more detail later tonight... Your jquery.js file exists and is in the correct location, right? In the same folder as index.php?
Lets hope the .js file exists that would cause it.

Was that you just putting killersites in there a forgot the </a>?
echo "<li><a href='http://www.killersites.com/community/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=active'>View All Topics</a></li></ul>";

Thanks, falkencreative, that worked great.
Rank Beginner
Try notepad 2 you will like it alot more then notepad.

This my company website and I have employees around the University in web design and other majors that work for me also. I hope you all like it and I would love to know how to improve the site more. We seem to rank very good on bing and yahoo with multiple keywords. We rank kind of low in google. Thanks everyone.
-
Rank Beginner put them on your shared server or server in your root directory. When you have your domain it will link to them in your root. It would come up as http://www.yoursite.com/productlist.html on the web.
<li><a href="/productlist.html">Products</a></li>
<li><a href="/blah.css">CSS</a></li>
<li><a href="/tables.html">Tables Tutorial</a></li>
PS if you want a css file you name it blah.css

W3C is telling me to close the meta tags like this /> and not like this >. Even websites all over the web say close like this > including major search engines like google and bing and yahoo.
I mean would it throw off your meta tag in SEO to close it like />. I bet it wouldn't but you never know with all the little stuff these days???

I am following the Beginners videos, and completing the steps as the speaker completes them.
As instructed, I copied and pasted my original page three times and "renamed" them tables.html, CSS.html and productlist.html.
Now, I am supposed to edit them to remove the content but keep the html tags.
How do I do that? The speaker said he did it "offline," so I didn't get to watch.
I tried View, Source. I can see my html code, but cannot edit it.
I tried Tools, Developer Tools, Html tab and the "edit" button. I can change the code temporarily, but do not seem to be able to save it after editing it. The "save" appears to work, but when I close the file and re-open it, my edits are not there.
I tried File, "Edit with Microsoft Word," but that didn't work at all.
I'm using a PC running Windows XP.
Someone said to use a "text editor," but that's only for a Mac, correct?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've been stuck at this point in the course for three days by this problem.
I happen to love Source Code editor built in Legacy File Manager because it happens to list the lines of code and highlights like notepad 2.

No, I am not worried all my content looks fine when I went back to IE8 compatible. I will wait until they implement the cufon compatibility acceptance. I love the hand written text and the other amazing fonts cufon offers. I would rather wait for beta revamp, then hand code it to very few font choices in font-face.

Sorry for being late.I didn't upload my code directly because it was mixed with alot of Ajax+Database code.However after alot of testing I found that as soon as I use Ajax call back methods I get the FireFox loop restart problem even with a simple text and a simple webservice method as following:
<div style="width:400px;">
<marquee direction="left" style="margin-right:20%" scrollamount="4" width="90%" loop="true"></marquee>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ma = $('marquee');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "NSOnlineService.asmx/HelloWorld",
data:"{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json", //for Firefox change this to "jsonp"
success: function() {
$('<span> bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla</span>').appendTo(ma);
}
});
</script>
You can try the code above in FireFox and please tell me do you see the same problem I see on my machine?
If this is true then the JQuery marquee is useless in my opinion because most of developers make a gallery ot a news text marquee with Ajax...
Implement a new event, called "looped" and modify the plugin to generate this event every time it reaches the end. This way, you could let it loop continuously, and still have a mechanism to add the new content in. Add this one line at line 53.
if ((marqueeState.behavior == 'scroll' && marqueeState.last == marqueeRedux[marqueeState.axis]) || (marqueeState.behavior == 'alternate' && hitedge && marqueeState.last != -1) || (marqueeState.behavior == 'slide' && hitedge && marqueeState.last != -1)) { $marqueeRedux.trigger('looped'); // Ejn mod for looping if (marqueeState.behavior == 'alternate') { marqueeState.dir *= -1; // flip }Then bind add the bind method:
$('div.mymarquee').bind('looped', function(event) { .... }); -
You can take it back to IE7 or IE6 by replacing the 8 with 7,6.

I had a major problem with IE9 beta as you know with two of my sites. It rejected the cufon.js for some reason and I am pushing them to fix it for the IE9 release.
SOOOO What to do to keep your site viewed on IE9 but you want it to be compatible with IE8.
Simple meta tag insert here it is folks enjoy
:D : <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> -
Did some research on why IE9 rejected my font .js text. This is very important so I started a new thread!
Cufón and Typeface.js both work by linking to their javascript file and the font file in your:
Cufón and Typeface.js are both methods to show text in custom fonts (like sIFR), are both only a couple of months old and both use canvas or VML. So what’s the difference? And which one is better?
How Does It Work?
Cufón and Typeface.js both work by converting a regular font file into an internal format. On execution, they display the font using Canvas in modern browsers, and VML in Internet Explorer. The benefits of doing it this way is that you do not need to load the Flash plugin. This makes it faster compared tosIFR, and visible on more computers.
Font Conversion - PROPS TO THE JS TEAM AT MICROSOFT LOL
Both Typeface.js and Cufón have an online font converter:
Font converter for Cufón
Font converter for Typeface.js
You upload your font, select which glyph groups (which are sets like uppercase, lowercase, numbers, punctuation etc.) you want to include and it returns a .js file containing your font. Typeface.js only supports TrueType (.ttf) fonts. Cufón also supports OpenType (.otf), Printer Font Binary and postscript. The converter for Typeface.js has a build-in check for the font license, and will refuse to convert any font that doesn’t allow embedding.
On uploading, Typeface.js forwards to a page where you can select your glyphs and download your file. Cufón lets you select the glyphs on the first page, and also give you the option to include a bold and an italic variant in the same file. Besides that, it allows you to restrict usage to certain domains, and set the quality of the font (lower quality is faster performance).
I used both to convert Optimer with uppercase, lowercase, numerals, punctuation and extended latin. Cufón’s file is called Optimer_400.font.js and is 27.3kb while Typeface.js’ file is calledoptimer_regular.typeface.js and is 68.7kb.
Including Cufón Or Typeface.Js In Your Website
Cufon Stats: File size 14KB
Supported Browsers: Firefox 1.5+, Safari 3+, Opera 9.5+, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer6+ NOW UNABLE IN IE9 BETA
Supported File Types: .ttf, .otf, PFB, postscript
Supported Font Styling: font-size, font-style, font-weight, line-height, text-shadow, color
Pick a font even a written one www.cufonfonts.com

Delete Anything On Anyones Website
in Javascript
Posted
Well this is it folks you are able to delete anything on anyones website from Goggle to a secure bank like chase.com with this JS.
This is not permanent.
Tell me what you think?
First you go to say www.google.com or this page your on right now.
Erase everything in the address bar.
Copy this JS: javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0
Paste that JS into the address bar and click enter.
Then right click anything on the page and you should get the delete option to come up.
It will delete anything enjoy!
That feels good to delete all of eBay and make Google logo less.
