HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible: A Review
HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible: A Review
HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible (4th ed.) / by Steven M. Schafer (Wiley, 2007) Paperback, 700 p. ISBN 9780470128619
HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible is the authoritative compendium how to use the basic building blocks of web design: HyperText Markup Language, eXtensible HyperText Markup Language, and Cascading Style Sheets. For readers with at least some prior knowledge of HTML, it can serve as a textbook to read sequentially, but is probably best used as a reference book.
It is divided into four sections: 1) Creating Content with HTML, 2) HTML Tools and Variants, 3) Controlling Presentations with CSS, and 4) Additional CSS Tools. Basically, HTML places content (text and images) on a web page and CSS provides the style. HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible digs deeper into CSS than many other similar books, breaking it into small steps to make it less overwhelming. Shafer’s copious use of screenshots and diagrams also aids comprehension.
Students will benefit from the step-by-step explanations of HTML and CSS, the background, and advice on good practices. Both students and experts will find HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible especially valuable for ease of finding particular details. The fourth part contains quick reference guides about XHTML elements, HTML special characters, CSS properties and selectors, pseudo-elements, and pseudo-classes.
HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible serves ably as a basic textbook, a refresher, and a desk reference. This edition has been superseded by later ones, but it still serves its purpose ably for anyone who is not working strictly with cutting edge innovations in browsers or web design. Usually, old editions are available only as used books, but new copies of the 4th edition of HTML, XHTML, and CSS Bible are still available . Every day the All-Purpose Guru Alert features one carefully chosen bargain book. Visit often.

SEO, Information Architecture and Interface Design
SEO, Information Architecture and Interface Design
Keywords, I swear, that’s all I hear from my colleagues, that and the assumption that keywords are the most important part of SEO. Well, I disagree. I don’t believe keywords are the most important building block of SEO. Keyword phrases mean nothing unless they’re used in a specific, contextual environment.
Think about it. Many search engine spammers use software spiders to “borrow” content from competitor sites to generate doorway-page content. Do spam doorway pages generate high-quality search engine traffic and conversions? Not likely, especially if you’ve ever viewed some of these poorly designed and unusable pages. The contextual environment is substandard; therefore, the keyword phrases have little meaning.
The most important building block of SEO is the information architecture. If you want your HTML/XHTML, audio, video, and image files to generate qualified search engine traffic, the key ingredient to making these files appear relevant are the information architecture and the interface that communicates this architecture.
Information Architecture versus Interface
Many SEOs utilize the terms “information architecture” and “site architecture” without truly understanding their meaning. Information architecture refers to the organization of site content into groups. Navigation is part of the user interface. Unfortunately, too many SEOs confuse a site’s actual information architecture with the interface.
How is your site’s information grouped? Are all video files (if used) placed in a directory labeled “videos” (or some other relevant label), and do you give search engines easy access to those files? When you use videos on Web pages, are they used as eye candy or to highlight relevant concepts on key pages?
The Meaning of Search
Interestingly, as the search industry has evolved, it seems the word “search” has come to mean only the querying process. In other words, type in two to three keywords into Google and get results — that’s search.
Search behavior doesn’t only encompass the querying process. Scanning is also a search process. When people view search results, they scan the page for information. When people click a search result to get to a Web page, they scan the Web page to determine whether or not the page’s content matches their search query.
Many SEOs and their clients need to take their blinders off. There’s a plethora of search behavior outside of rankings. I find the obsession with ranking to be rather narrow-minded and annoying, especially from people who should know better.

Html and Effective SEO
Html and Effective SEO
Two acronyms that play such an important role in the world of internet marketing- HTML and SEO. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is used as a tool for designing websites. It can be referred to as the skeletal system of a website, in context to the role it plays in holding a website together. The HTML code of a website contains directions on how the text, images, and other components are going to be linked with one another. It brings the written word to life.
SEO or Search Engine Optimization refers to the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a Web site by ranking high in the search results of a search engine. When a surfer types in his query in a search engine, he is presented with a list of results, any of which he can select. The web site that has come up first in the list of results that the search has generated has been able to do so because it is more popular than the other sites. This is where SEO comes into play. It is a very effective marketing tool that is employed by site owners in order to increase a site’s relevancy.
Combined with HTML, SEO is a powerful tool. The simple interface HTML applies in generating a website enables the basic information featured on a website to be made available to a search engine, which skips past the flash of the site. The originality of the content featured in a site thus, has a lot of bearing in how soon the site is picked up b the search engine and made available to the surfer.

Which spy pen is the best choice to buy?
Question by mark.deguia: Which spy pen is the best choice to buy?
http://www.gadgetfreakz.co.uk/spy-equipment/720p-hd-spy-pen-4gb-usb.html

Can someone please give me a good opinion on which is best because I’m very ignorant on technical stuff like this. I dont really know much about this. I want to be able to take good quality video in secret.
They all have the same format whih is AVI so i dont need to worry about that.
They all use the same video encoding so I dont need to worry about that.
The 2nd & 3rd seem to have a higher video resolution and FPS so I’m assuming that the video quality on them is better than the first one.
Someone needs to tell me which is better for image ratio. I want to be able to watch this on my computer or LED HD TV. Mostly the computer but thats good if its also great on a widescreen tv. The first one is 16:9 and the 2nd & 3rd ones are 4:3. I think 4:3 is letter box so it has those black lines at the sides. And 16:9 doesnt which is better. I think the 1st one is better for image ratio. But i’m just making an educated guess on what I know which isnt a lot.
The audio format I have little interest in because I am only focused on video quality.
What the heck is interface supposed to mean? It says that they are all USB. But the 2nd one is Mini 5 pin USB.
So storage is how much video it can hold. I think the 2nd one is best for storage. The 2nd one uses a micro SD card and it can hold up to 16 gb which sounds good. The 1st and 3rd both use 4gb Nand Flash which to me translates to “it can hold 4gb worth of video”. I dont really think thats really important because I can save video from the pen into the computer cant I?
They all use the same battery type.
I’m guessing that they all have the same working time which is about 90 min. I dont know what working time is. Does that mean how long it will stay on before running out of power?
Time/date stamp sounds like it can record the time and date when it is recording video. I think only the 1st one can do that.
I use a PC and they all support it.
So um after I record my video with any of these pens how would I view it on my computer? Would it have a USB connector or something that I use to connect the pen to the computer then watch the video?
After reviewing the technical info my 1st choice would be the 1st pen because even though its video resolution is lower than the other 2 its not by that much and its still HD quality. And after looking at 2 youtube videos comparing the 2 spy pens I couldnt really tell a difference between the quality of the videos from the 2 different pens. It has I think a better Image ratio then the other 2. I want to be able to watch it on TV but mostly on my computer and be ahppy with what I’m seeing( I dont want black lines). Again the video resolution between the cameras is 1280 by 720 and the others 1280 by 960. So only a difference of 240 um…. pixels. They are called pixels right?
So anyway thats my question my comparison and my initial first choice of the 3 pens. My 1st choice is the 1st pen. 2nd choice is the 2nd pen. and 3rd choice is the 3rd pen. I’m open to people’s ideas though on which I should get because I’m no technology expert. Please tell me which you would recommend and why. I will be interested in reading all of your answers comments and ideas. the person with the best answer will get 10 points.
Oh and the 2 youtube videos I watched were here
this one is the first pen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loMJBN7Lw-I
this one is the 2nd pen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mpk_k4M9pU

How to Make HTML Forms for Your Website
How to Make HTML Forms for Your Website
Your website visitors often want to contact you. For support, to inquire about a product, for link requests or even just to say hello. Many website owners just list their email address, so visitors can write to them. This way of posting contact details is very common, but it has a major drawback: spamers harvest websites searching for email addresses. Once your email gets into their list, you start receiving unwanted ads, various shady discount offers and even viruses.
The safest way to allow your visitors to contact you is to include a web form on your website. Doing this is not that complicated, but it requires a certain degree of HTML knowledge and access to your website source.
Below is a small HTML form that includes only 3 fields: Name, Email and Message.
<form method=”post” action=”mailto:youremailaddress@domain.com”> Name: <input type=”text” size=”10″ maxlength=”40″ name=”name”> <br> Email: <input type=”email” size=”10″ maxlength=”10″ name=”email”> <br> Message: <textarea rows=”4″ cols=”20″ name=”message”></textarea> <input type=”submit” value=”Send message”/> </form>
This form uses “mailto” function to send the filled data to the specified email address. Let’s break this HTML form into pieces, line by line: 1. <form method=”post” action=”mailto:youremailaddress@domain.com”> This line includes the beginning of the <form> tag and the email address that will receive the message. The only thing you should modify is the email.
2. Name: <input type=”text” size=”10″ maxlength=”40″ name=”name”> <br>
This line contains the first field from your contact form: an edit box, “name”, that users will use to write their name and a label describing that field. You might also have noticed some properties of the edit box: size currently 10 and the maximum allowed length that is 40. “<br>” is the HTML tag for new line.
3. Email: <input type=”email” size=”10″ maxlength=”10″ name=”email”> <br>
Similar with the line above, it is an edit box for your visitor’s email address. This field is very important because you will use this information to contact your visitor. You can also modify the size and maxlength property of this edit box.
4. Message: <textarea rows=”4″ cols=”20″ name=”message”></textarea>
This field will contain the message body. It’s not an edit box anymore, because we needed more space. This HTML field is named <textarea>. You can modify its height and width by changing the values for “cols” and “rows” properties.
5. <input type=”submit” value=”Send message”/>
This is the button visitors will press to send you the message. You can change the “value” property from “send message” to anything you want.
Don’t forget to close the form tag by adding </form> at the end of your HTML email form script.
This method of building a HTML form for your website has a minor drawback: your email address is still visible. It still can be harvested. To hide it, you would need more programming skills, to include the mailto command into a php function.
But don’t worry, there is another way. A simpler and faster way to have a HTML form, and it doesn’t require any programing skills at all. It works even if your server doesn’t support php, and you can benefit from powerful features like receiving attachments, multiple recipients, field validation, message history and anti-spam defence. You just use an online wizard to generate your HTML web form, and then copy-paste the code on your website.
Ted Peterson uses HTML forms generated using the free service of 123ContactForm.com . He designed his email forms using their online wizard.
