A Collection of Technical Articles

Today was another one of those days where there just wasn't enough hours in the day. The webcast for PowerTogether was put on hold till tomorrow. But, not all was lost. In fact, just the opposite has become in the absense of my review on Microsoft's webcast discussed earlier ( Free Windows Vista and Free Microsoft Office 2007 ).

There was a site which exsisted for a short period of time in the past that I contributed to. The site is now going in a different direction with different content but, I was fortunate enough to be great friends with the webmaster who was nice enough to passed his content and my own over to me.

So most of this evening was spent taking a raw database dump and picking out the articles I wanted for this site. Then I had to clean all the database escape characters out and reformat the page so it's easier to read. You can thank me for all my hard work by clicking some ads anywhere on this page.

Here are the links and brief discriptions to the articles which have been added to the site.

  • Web Terminology - Covers some web terms that are more advanced than CSS but not to the point of programming. The terms listed here are really tools that above average web developers use on a daily basis.
  • Search Engine Optimization - Aside from social bookmarking and spending lots of money in advertising this is the best way to drive visitors to your site. In this article there are some basic tweaks a novice web master can apply to their site to increase traffic.
  • Ajax and Application Development - Beginners beware! Though Ajax in theory is a relatively simple idea, configuration and execution can take some time to perfect. Here is a great article supplied by my web master friend which helps illustrate his evolution into the wonderful world of Ajax.
  • phpAdsNew - For anyone looking to advertise outside of Google Adsense, I highly recommend giving this robust piece of software a try. The learning curve is pretty high but once you master the program your options are wide open. phpAdsNew also comes with very detailed instructions to help ease the pain of learning something new.
  • About the admin - This is simply a short biography about myself. Where I've been, what I've accomplished, and the bumpy path that has taught me life lessons.

I hope you enjoy at least a few of these articles. I look forward to the future when there will be enough time to add more articles like these to the site. If there is a topic which you feel should be discussed feel free to contact me.
