Ever wanted to test and see what your site would look like on Google before launching? Now you can, with this neat little tool, you can check to make sure your site is “search engine ready.” It will provide warnings as to what you may want to change in order for spidering to be more effective. Simply input your URL, and click on “Diagnostic View.” http://www.gritechnologies.com/tools/spider.go Note: this tool only promotes search engine optimization, it won’t guarantee good rankings if you follow its warnings.

Here’s a great CSS resource i found over at Mezzoblue, great and to the point. Worth a read — CSS Cribsheet

AMFPHP is an open-source alternative for flash remoting… Ubiquity, stability, and platform neutrality make PHP the perfect server side scripting language for building server side applications, handling business logic, and connecting to web services. Ubiquity, stability, and platform neutrality make Macromedia Flash MX the perfect tool for deploying rich internet front ends. Flash remoting for PHP offers a seamless connection between the flash client and php server applications. Flash remoting for PHP enables objects in PHP to become objects in actionscript, almost magically! AMFPHP takes care of all the data-type conversions, serialization, and other client-server details. This provides a great way of connecting rich media clients with data and logic living on the server. While at the same time allowing designers to design and programmers to program.

http://www.quiss.org/swftools/ This is a SUPER sweet tool to convert pdf/jpg/gif/png/wav/avi/font to SWF (flash runtime) format. Why would you ever use this you say? Try loading a gif or pdf into a flash movie with loadMovie()… wont work. Say your building a portfolio (which is what I am doing, and how I found this) and have different formats and dont want to sit there and manually convert each… (hint, Animated Gif to SWF alone is sweet)… but then PDF to SWF? SUPA SWEET. Load all those pdf documents dynamically, and can even make a page fipper routine (this coded by YOU in flash). So go on kiddies… download this, and make some cool Flash/PHP apps. Oh, and Im not paid by them… I just love this tool now.

HEY I KNOW YOU GUYS! okbye

Many developers and consumers alike are wondering, what is RSS? and more importantly why is it so popular? This artile will try to explain what RSS is and the benefits of having it on your site. RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it’s not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the “recent changes” page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way. RSS-aware programs called news aggregators are popular in the weblogging community. Many weblogs make content available in RSS. A news aggregator can help you keep up with all your favorite weblogs by checking their RSS feeds and displaying new items from each of them. You can almost think of it as turning the Web into an email application, but without all the spam–because it lets you see which sites have new information in almost the exact same way you know if you’ve read an email or not. This means that you can add new content to your site, and all of your visitors will know the content has been added and will know what was added. It also means that your own site content can be syndicated across the Web, driving traffic from a huge number of sites directly into your own. So not only is it a great way to keep your viewers informed, it’s also an excellent way to boost traffic to your site by turning one-time visitors into return visitors. To learn more about RSS, it’s development and integration into a site visit What is RSS?

I was wondering if all of us could join hands and work on a small project, a series of photoshop artwork. If anyone is interested, leave comments. Cheers.

As a PHP developer, i’ve noticed how hard it is to get my dynamic sites listed on any search engine, especially Google. I think the following article is a great reference for all you developers out there trying to get the rankings you deserve. Solutions for Dynamic Website Ranking

It’s a common problem for any developer of a database driven website: how do you achieve a good ranking in the search engines when most of their spiders can’t handle dynamic URLs? Burhan Khan discusses a number of techniques to help you show up on the spiders’ radar and “get rank” as high as any static website.
