Most banner advertising is commission driven, based on a visitor clicking on a banner and following through with a purchase or lead generation.
5b/ Advertising #2
http://www.linkshare.com/
Free to join and similar to the above but with one difference. If you want to advertise Apple or iTunes on your site, this is the only way to do it. Commissions are smaller than above but content is more dynamic. You can embed an iTunes RSS Feed Generator and get links for individual songs or albums.

Eg: See http://www.live8.us/philadelphia/bon_jovi.html
5d/ Advertising #4
https://www.google.com/adsense/
Free to join. This is the reason why Google shares go for $402.20 today. Visitors clicking on Google ads placed on your pages earn you incremental revenue. No, your not going to get rich quick like Sergey and Larry as click through rates are around 1% based on impressions, but it is relative to traffic volume and content on your site. You will ultimately make more money with commission based banner advertising than Google Adsense, but you will find Google revenue will cover your overheads!
6/ Lightbox and Slideshow (iPhoto alternative)
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/
Apple keeps you tied into your .Mac account and promises your visitors a dynamic image and slideshow experience. Lightbox JS v2.0 designed by Lokesh Dhakar is freeware under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License and offers a great alternative.
Remaining in the same page, Lightbox launches static images as enlargements and can string together related images on a page as a slideshow. It doesn't get better than this!
Eg#1: See http://www.live8.us/philadelphia/jay-z.html and click on Jay-Z image.
Eg#2: See http://www.live8.us/philadelphia/slideshow.html and click on any concert image to see how they are grouped and can be navigated.
7/ Music and Media Player (iTunes alternative)
http://www.wimpyplayer.com/
Easy to install and the best $29.95 you will ever spend for streaming and instantly playing music on your welcome pages or as a popup. Skins that can be modified and there is even a Wimpy Player that emulates the look and feel of iTunes (with album art and all).
Remember fellow Appleheads: Most Windows/IE Explorer users don't have iTunes (and Quicktime for that matter) and miss out on all your good content. Wimpy offers a multi-platform-friendly alternative and keeps dumbed-down Windows PC's with Internet Explorers from choking!
Eg: See http://www.live8.us/philadelphia/home.html and click on Listen button at the top of the page to launch the Live 8 Media Player in a new window.
8/ Watermark your images
http://www.scriptsoftware.com/iwatermark/
For the photogs in our midst who don't have any snazzy Adobe applications but need to have their digital images protected, then this is the application for you. Watermarking batches of images with both text and logos, the application also can generate thumbs, scale images all to the same size while keeping EXIF data preserved. The best $20 I spent in a while!
9/ Goodies #1
http://www.flickr.com/
Free to join. Get a Flickr account to offer another way to store, search, share and print your photos (through Target of all places for in store pick-up!). Not only is Flickr fun and easy, but you get neat little toys to add to your site, like the Flickr Badge you see here: http://www.live8.us/philadelphia/legacy.html
9/ Goodies #2
http://www.google.com/relatedlinks/

I just updated to Firefox 4 and my Roboform toolbar disappeared. Following the instructions on your site and Roboform's site did not help. It doesn't appear in the Customize Toolbar window nor in the Extensions list. How can I get it back?

Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

Is there a way to have sound automatically play on your site?

Hi
I am wondering 2 things
1. can you set up audio or video to automatically start playing when someone visits your site?
2. can you hide audio on your page, so you can hear audio but do not have to see the QT player or press play to start it?
Thanks, Jessica

Add the audio track to the page via the Media Browser, go to the Inspector/Quicktime pane and click on AutoPlay. May I suggest also that you set the volume of the audio down to about 20-25% so as not to blow out an unsuspecting visitor who might have their volume turned up high for some other reason. You can do it as seen here:
As long as you don't put an image in the Drag Image Here zone only the control panel will display on the page if you select it to be shown.

Can we replace an old serial board with a new one found available on your site?

So.. we are using Lookout 5.0 to operate a plant, and we have a PCI SERIAL RS 232/485 ISOLATED 2 PORTS board, with the code 185726C-02 printed on that board, which is used to comunicate with some solenoids modules. I search your site for a replacement for that board, and I found the PCI-8433/2 board which seems to be compatible. Question: is it ok to use this board instead the old one with Lookout 5 if we update the NI SERIAL drivers from your site?
Thanks in advance ..
Eddie Zack

Make sure the site folder created by iWeb is named exactly the same as the site folder currently on the server.

Immediately see what versions of sites you have created upon opening your site in Muse

When you open one of your sites in Muse, you go right to the planning screen. My screen defaults to the DESKTOP view. I would love a way that we could see a quick section...maybe split the main screen into thirds from top to bottom where you can see a quick view of your DESKTOP version, your TABLET version and your PHONE version if you have all three created.
I thought of this just now because there was an important link on my client's website that needed changed. I made the change, and then minutes later, I remembered that I had recently also done a TABLET version for my client too and I had completely forgotten about it. So I went back in to Muse, clicked on the TABLET tab and changed the link there as well.
As it is now, the only way I can tell that I have done a different version is because the plus mark is gone before the word on the tab. Even changing the color of the tabs for the versions you HAVE created would maybe help jog someone's memory not to forget to update the other version as well.

Or, how about this:
Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

How do I set up subdomains pointing to folder in your site

I am trying to determine whether it is possible to set up a series of subdomains such that each points to content within a folder in your site with the URL of pages displayed showing the subdomain without the subfolder name.
Case in question… If I have a website at say mysite.com.au with subfolders, dir01 and dir02 that each contain the pages I want displayed in relation to subdomains. I set up subdomains sub01 and sub02.
Is it possible to have my BC site working such that I can reference a page, say page01, within the subfolder to be displayed with its subdomain name as sub01.mysite.com.au/page01 rather than seeing it as mysite.com.au/dir01/page01
I know I can point the home page for the subdomain to a page within the folder but it still shows the subfolder in the url – I want the pages within the subfolder to be related to the subdomain and show/use url’s based on the subdomain without reference to the subfolder.
Is this possible and if so is this a simple or complex process to put in place?

Hi, I think this may help:
Create a landing page where your main domain will point to and add this code within the HEAD tag and just specify the folder for your countries as bellow demonstrated.
<head>
<script> window.location =
{% if globals.visitor.country == 'AU' %}
"/au"
{% elsif globals.visitor.country == 'US' %}
"/us"
{% elsif globals.visitor.country == 'GB' %}
"/gb"
{% else %}
"/store-unavailable"
{% endif %}
</script>
</head>
DONT FORGET THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU ENABLE YOUR BC.NEXT RENDERING FOR LIQUID CODING.
I normally use it to display messages on my site for each country as a welcome.

What are you missing?
I inherited this app and signing the third party jars is how it was setup, I was wondering the same thing too, why was it necessary to sign the third party jars?
The applet runs in either JRE 1.6.0_13 or JRE 1.6.0_27 depending on the other Java apps the user uses. JRE 1.6.0_13 does not have the mixed code security (so it is like is disable), but JRE 1.6.0_27 does have the mixed code security and the applet will not launch with mixed code security enable, so we have to disable it. With all the hacking going on in the last two years, is important to improve security; so this is a must.
Yes, I always clear up the cache.
Any idea on how to resolve this problem?

How to change "YOUR SITE TITLE"?

I just started experimenting with web galleries, and when I try to edit the stock "YOUR SITE TITLE" I can select the text but then when I type it doesnt change.
Uh, whats up with that??? How does one set the site title?

Hello, okamisama
Quote: "I just started experimenting with web galleries, and when I try to edit the stock "YOUR SITE TITLE" I can select the text but then when I type it doesnt change."
Yeah, you're righ, the workaround is click in the text box but don't select the entire text just click in it so that the cursor is blinking and then type in it.
love & peace,

How to remove "Get started with your site"

Hello,
I am in the process of automating the creation of a site collection using PowerShell. Everything works fine but I would like to remove or hide the "Get started with your site" that we see the first time we open a site. Deactivating the Getting
started feature will not remove it.

For other readers, here's the full script needed:
# First, get a reference to the target web app:
$web = Get-SPWeb "[TargetSiteURL]"
# Assuming that 1) the web page file that you want to examine is
# the default landing page and 2) Publishing has been activated
# for the containing site collection, the following gets you a
# reference to the web part manager:
$wpm = $web.GetLimitedWebPartManage("pages/default.aspx", [System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared).WebParts
# Note the "pages" in the path. Next, the following lists out
# all web parts on this page:
$web.GetLimitedWebPartManager("pages/default.aspx",[System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared).WebParts
# Review this list, and then identify the PartOrder of the web
# part you want to remove. It its, say, its "5", you get a
# reference to web part like so:
$wp = $wpm.WebParts[5]
# Now delete the web part:
$wp.DeleteWebPart
# and close the web app reference:
$web.Close()
It's easier to remove the web part directly from the page, while it's in edit mode, but then the scripted method also works when automation is needed.

Are you getting bored with your site?

iWeb is undoubtly great when it comes to making sites using templates. However iWeb templates only takes you so far before we notice sites all looking the same and boring. Add a little splash to your site with all brand new Landing Pages from MacEzzy. Landing page or commonly known as home, welcome, and index page is the first page your site visitor notices. Simply keep your existing site and change out the landing page. I have created high quality new landing pages to help you diffrentiate your site among 30,000 iWeb users. I am continuing to push iWeb to the limit.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. If you usually log in to the site, you probably will need to log in again.
Does that help?

What's the next step before making your site "live"

Hi,
I created a website and I wanted to get input on what my next step would be prior to uploading my website to the host server. It's all ready to go live I just figured there's probably some testing and validating I need to do on it to make sure everything is working as it should. So I wanted to know what are those next steps exactly? Are there any resources (ie: a website, etc.) out there on the web that can help me make this as painless as possible? I'm still fairly new to web design so the simpler the better.
Thanks!
