I've not used PHP before and I'm just looking into Ajax so I'm not fully sure if it contains anything that you may not have seen.

Have a look here and see if there is.

Re: [Merged] Promote your own website

Ajax is a new name for something that has existed in Javascript for quite a while, the meaning is that it can get data from the server/call scripts/etc separately from a page refresh

Re: [Merged] Promote your own website

Just done a mock-up of my works new website that I have spent this afternoon on.

http://www.trial.mlweb.co.uk/purple/image2.html

Any comments welcome, this is the 1st mock-up so I'm still not happy with several areas, the image to the right of the news for 1.

Quite pleased with it, wanted to do a nice bright web 2.0 style.

Re: [Merged] Promote your own website

Had a re-jig of my site.

I've got rid of the crappy old index pages, made the blog the root, & replaced the rather poorly made photo gallery with the excellent Coppermine Photo Gallery.

Have also installed the same theme (K2) on Wordpress & CPG, so it all fits together.

Still some niggles to sort out, though.

I like the nice bright look - but agree about the image next to the news - the link placeholders overlapping into it looks a bit messy

why not make your text links, instead of saying more all the time?

the image of the news is fine, but I would try to make the site a wee bit smaller, I have a 17" monitor and it does not all fit nicely

I like the bright style, as a non-coder I found it quite easy to read and inviting. A couple of niggles. One that has been mentioned before - on a 17" screen at 1024x768 the page is fractionally too wide which gives you a scroll bar at the bottom. Those things *really* bug me.
Also it looks a bit untidy in Firefox, the green 'more' things overlap onto the news picture for random distances. I'd agree that making the actual text into links would be far neater.

My new site is http://www.britishclubdivers.co.uk

It's a bit bare at the moment but I hope people will use it to make new friends for diving as you should always dive with a buddy.

This is how it all worked out in the end....

It's cool, though I have a 19" Widescreen running at 1440x900 so it looks a bit odd with the far right third of the screen completely blank, also the course listings etc looks a bit too busy on the main page? Just an opinion that last one though!

I don't care what you think Google loves it. Reckon it's on for doubling traffic in the organic searches alone. Msn and Yahoo love it as well we have gone from 13-20 on Google to 1-3 on most searchs and on msn and yahoo Its number one on loads. Really chuffed about it.


Anyone know why Google gives out positions in 2's sometimes ie 1+2, 3+4?

I think i'd rather have 3-4 than 1 by itself. Draws your eyes to it and make sit more important. (Example of 1-2)
