How To Fix Your Site From A Google Penalty
In the beginning, Google cared only about indexing every website on the Internet. It managed to accumulate over 4 million pages in data. This was at the start of Google.com around the year 2000. Over 10 years later, Google.com has acquired over 4 billion pages on the Internet.

Hosting A Webserver On Your Computer, If You Have A Dynamic Ip

When it comes to your website, you want to make sure you know whose visiting and how many visitors you are receiving.

Very unreliable and not the best way to know whose visiting. While I'm here today to cover CrawlTrack, there are 2 other ways that I recommend, and those will not be covered here: Google Analytics whic

How To Create A Google Custom Search On Your Blog
With all the features we love in WordPress, most of us would vote down the default WordPress search engine. Its ability is quite limited.

Some of them started with a good idea, then, go too far till my thoughts become unmanagable. I was frustrated-- Why some people's blog is about a small topic but hanging there shinning. Why my bri

Creating Rollover Images With Css
I have seen it reported that 10% of Internet users have Javascript disabled. Whether for security concerns or to curtail annoyances like pop-up windows, it seriously limits your ability, as a web designer, to mold your website into something creative and novel. This is where CSS rollovers come in. You know that effect you get when you roll the cursor over an image, and then the image changes? Traditionally, that effect has been accomplished by using Javascript to swap out images. I present here
