Web 2.0

Suddenly web design is becoming interesting again with the so-called web 2 revolution. I wrote an article about it to be seen by clicking the title link. Since then I bought an Australian PCUser magazine and there is a web 2.0 free browser in it. I'll be playing with it. There is also a mega amount of software freebies in the latest issue which I will be reviewing. There is also a new free web authoring tool called NVU which I will be exploring.

I've been having fun with swikis. The idea is that you create a bubble of tags (keywords) which you place on your web site. You can then promote your own site and block out others so that on this search engine, people and not robots decide which is worth looking at. However, there is much vested interest going on here. My own sites are right up there of course but that doesn't mean they are the best in those categories.

The other thing is that I found a site which you can upload your photography to and get paid if those photos are sold. Great. Something to do with my photos.

Also, I have found a new toolbar which you can download, customise and have others download. It only works on IE unfortunately but it has everything there you'd ever need just on your toolbar. My toolbar.

Latest news

It's been a while since I last wrote. I have been concentrating on my Tennis site. At the AIA network we have had to move our sites across to a CMS database. I have to keep checking the forum all the time for new announcements.
I have written something new for ozwebhub, but was wondering why I wasn't getting as many hits as I should. knowledgecollegetutors.com is no longer so that domain is available.

I looked at ozwebhub at a friend's computer. The background was completely black. I couldn't understand it, since my site is white on my computer in both IE and Firefox. I checked my css stylesheet again. I hadn't put 'white' as background but I had put something that looked white. My guess is that that property doesn't show in browsers, so I changed it to 'white'.

I'm now getting more visitors. It must have been like this for ages.
Having to watch Wimbledon for my tennis ite. Up all night again.

New content management system

At the All Info About network, we have all been transferring our web sites to a content management system, which is coded in php and HTML. It has been a steep learning curve but I think worth it in the ned. CMS is meant to be the web design of the future.
