Managing Photos On Your Site

without comments

Photos and images are always the mainstream attention getter in most sites. One thing you will note that outside information and topics in demand, pictures are likewise sought after by most. They are used for personal use or even as supporting enhancers to sites or blogs.

The great way to share photos is to make sure that people can see them and even spread them. But while you are open to spreading your photos, be sure that you get the necessary credits for it. It is really unfair to upload a photo and not give due recognition to the people behind it.

Smileys for Interactivity

without comments

When it comes to spicing up your forum or your site’s guestbook, smileys are sure to spice them up in a hurry. Normally when we type away comments or posts, they seem to be dull and lack expression. With smileys, you are sure to raise the level of conversation.

Normally they are placed at the beginning or the end of an entry. These smileys also help in making sure that there is not misunderstanding on the tone of the message.

That Lorem Ipsum thing

without comments

Yeah a little curious about that one? It’s basically an old Latin text whose origin can be traced as far back as 45 BC. The exact text is from Cicero’s “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil). It has been used since the 1500’s as dummy text so as not to distract people from the lay-out, which is the primary concern for printing. Besides, this specific text has quite a normal distribution of letters so it makes it universal.

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.”

See, it�s not just a random text anymore.

Write articles

without comments

Sure all you have is a personal website, but let�s face it. The reason why you made one, is to make it public � so that other people can know about you (or a make believe you). If this is the case, then why not widen your readership? A little marketing can sure help.

One of the simplest things you can do is to write articles. If you�re a prolific blogger with a lot things to say about any topic under the sun, then this should be easy for you. Submit your articles to article archives and directories and link them to your site. By doing this you can make your site widely known (not to mention huge traffic on your site).
