Website Feedback, Tips, and Metatags

I am a sculptor/performace artist and have a website up through iWeb. I am looking for feedback on ease of navigation, seeing that about 50% of my traffic leaves in 30s or less. I am also looking for any tips on metatags and how to generate more traffic and to make the user experience as nice as possible. Any feedback would be great. Link is

Mac Mini 1.42ghz, 1 gig ram, 4 external hds Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I do not use a .mac account but rather dot5hosting. I publish everything to a folder, then use fetch to ftp it to my site. I actually did not use one of the built in templates, but started with a blank slate. The contact page was done through http://www.freedback.com/ All you do is insert a text box with the word FORMCODE, generate a form through the feedback site, and subsititute the generated html for the word FORMCODE in that particular page (after it is published). The only thing I don't like about it is that a visitor will have to click the word continure after sending a message in order to get back to the site. Did you notice the flash galleries?

Resetting,disabling.Clean-ups and Frag, just dosen't boot my pc any faster, any tips and what speeds it yup for accessing aother websites andtheir sites

Tried resetting,disabling,clean-ups, defrag, changing proxy to 'No Proxy' even doing a number 20 in the DOM etc just doesn't boot my PC any faster or enable me to access my own website pages/sites a recent development, just keeps Turning around without loading the dashboard, though brings up webpage like with yahoo, but takes an awful long time in the morning to get to my email,, same as when booting up from closed; any tips and what speeds it up for accessing another websites and their sites edit;; getting fed up with Firefox,, much to problematic,, any ideas who has less problematic Browser. many thanks,
N.B, My PC is a an Windows Xp, the latest

Usually slowness after one upgrade requires disabling hardware acceleration, or a possible new regression (hopefully not).
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
* Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
* In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
* In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
* Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

CSS General Tips and Tricks, Please if you can add to this, thanks

I thought of some general guidelines in CSS and XHTML, please feel free to add some more if you think i missed, thanks in advance !
No Empty Divs
Use text-indents in hyperlinks for images and images background so that the div does not remain empty
Even if you have a division marker that contains a backgrounds and is embedding another inner-container (or any other reason), use a text-indent:-9999px so that it does not appear empty. This misuse has led to many misinterpretations by search engines
Validate your codes on W3C
Even if there is a warning, there’s always this possibility to wipe it out and write the right piece of code for it.
No Ids! Classes & inheritance
We’re in 2010 now ladies, things have changed and now it’s the new era. Like for me, it was quite a bite that day I got those slaps (uhh… let’s call that e-slaps for the sake of this article) from my boss, who clearly mentioned the important generic methodologies of using inheritance techniques in everything we do… And that included CSS my oh my..
Besides, even if you are using ids, make sure that they are unique and that they are not being duplicated elsewhere on your page. That’s the good thing with the W3C validator: it doesn’t miss those
Comment your lines of codes
There are many advantages for this, the major one I’m considering is to help situate the programmer in line who will be taking your codes elsewhere. It’s a form of diplomacy, hence good practice.
No Styling in your html pages: out!
It’s better to transfer all the related style, with comments alongside on your generic style sheet
Insert Images on web pages only if necessary
Whenever there is an opportunity not to insert an image as an <img src>, do it; the best practice is to load it as a background image and if possible use write any text that’s ever found on the image instead of importing the image from photoshop or any app you’re using down to tyou
Anti-aliasing of gif images for better image quality
I have this luck of having a chief who knows quite a sleek stuffs in photoshop and image rendering techniques and that includes gif images.
Integrators love gifs: light, minimal use of colors.. when they’res no curves in any way, but what about transparency ?
There are possibilities to avoid the use of pngs, which are usually heavier and take quite some time to load. Sometimes when gifs are being exported, codes or designers forget the background image on which the gif will be laid onto. That is why anti-aliasing techniques are very important for keeping the design intact.
use overflow: hidden instead of clear:both
More information can be found on this link:
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html
To brief a bit, using clear is like ol’ school teaching stuff which was the fast-driven solution while the overflow:hidden seems to satisfy the major browsers like MSIE, FFx , Chrome, etc…
Minimise the use of style sheets
Avoid using different style sheets for different browsers. Use one generic style sheet, unless you have different themes for different pages, but that depends. All this creates confusion and that might also mean you are not be using the right html codes and the right css styles
To minimise the use of multiple style sheets, use:
i.e. <!–[if IE 6]><div id=”IE6″><![endif]–>
Validate your css codes on http://jigsaw.w3.org
Jigsaw is the CSS passport for integrators. I never knew it, but now O I know !
It’s the haven. The hide in our line of business. It’s what keeps our ego hmmm strong and heavily proud, the reason why integrators are so needed in the web business.
* Squeak *
Always have this final habit to validate your css in the following link
http://jigsaw.w3.org/ to make sure that you are in line with your css standards. Even if there are warnings, that would mean you are wrongly interpreting your css codes or that some styles have been duplicated here and there.
Conclusion
That’s all for now folks. I think , whenever I’ll have some more time, I’d probably create a CSS tips and tricks Part 2, cos amending what’s already there would sound so cheap and it’s not like facebook, uhh Sheran changed that article, etc..
It’s good to have some feedbacks and all, well, that’s probably interesting to know what’s out in the CSS jungle, so jot in some lines, criticise, be blunt and bold and don’t hesitate to contact me (except ma okes at work, you know who you are, ladies) for any info ya need
À La Prochaine !

use CSS, it will save you time no matter how much DW does things automatically for you
if you don't know how it's done, ask or view source. css is client side code and can be viewed.
use divs instead of tables for layouts
firefox has a great plugin called HTML Validator (http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/). you don't have to keep going to the w3c website to validate. when viewing your page within firefox it will validate it and tell you any errors and warnings. saves me a lot of time. it's also great if you're development environment is behind a firewall - you won't have to view source, copy & paste onto w3c validator. they don't have support for html5 yet
this could be more of style and preference but i use multiple files of css. usually 2 or 3. one is for the layout (layout.css), one is for forms (form.css) and one for display data. anything more can become more work when it's time to make any changes, especially with multiple people working on the same project
create a standard workflow. naming conventions for file names, class names, etc.
i'm not sure you can get away from those IE specific css. i've tried a campaign at work to not support IE so that we become fully compliant with the web but unfortunately, IE still has a lot of users. what we've done is support IE but the latest versions only. M$ is at least getting better with being compatible.
view the page in firefox and IE. if they work, then you should be fine with the other browsers. as a developer, it's my responsibility to ensure that any user whether mac or pc can view the website - as long as they are running the "latest" version of the browser. latest as in what the software developer still supports.
well that's my tips, tricks and a little pet peeve here and there

Some websites, like Amazon and Shutterstock became garbled after I updated Java.

Some websites, like Amazon and Shutterstock show up completely garbled. I suspect problems with Javascript, and I'm pretty sure the issue started after I updated Java. I did all the troubleshooting tips listed on this site, and none helped. I booted Firefox without extensions and the problem prevailed. I don't know what else to do.
Mac OS 10.6.8, Java up to date, Firefox 12.0

General Usage Tips and Tricks

Hi All -
I'm new to this forum... and just got my DROID 2. Yes I was living in the dark ages and it is the first smartphone I've ever had. With that being said.... I'm OVERWHELMED! There is so much to do and so many things it can do. I was able to find a manual online... and read through it. I was able to get through navigating the phone somewhat.
However, for those of you out there that are experienced with your phones.... any tips and or tricks for using the DROID 2?
The main things I want to do are:
1) Check email (both work and personal) - only need to do this as needed.
2) Google Search
3) Make Calls
4) Facebook
5) Extend battery life
I'm sure the phone does more than I ever need to do... and maybe I'm missing out on some cool things.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

Motorola has a website that you can visit that will answer all your questions about its MOTOROLA DROID 2. A link will be provided for you below. I really hope you enjoy your Android.

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.
OT

The design of this website is confusing and hard to use.

Adobe are regarded as the industry standard of design software, so it seems ironic (or embarrassing) that this website is so poorly designed. I came here simply wanting to post a question about Flash Player but found it the whole experience to be confusing, bewildering and frustrating.
I will list my ten major criticisms below:
1. ILLEGIBLE FONTS
Many of the site's styles (eg discussion titles) use horribly small fonts, to the point of being illegible and nauseating at normal viewing distance. I have to lean forwards towards the screen to read it. I have never had this issue with any other site I visit. The font used is not a screen font and is simply not suitable for being displayed at that size and looks quite ugly (eg lower case 'e' has no hole). In addition, some of the styles use almost illegible colors (eg gray on lighter gray). This kind of "minuscule" typography might be perfect for a small space (eg application control panels), but for a website displayed on a modern computer monitor (at least 1920 pixels wide) it is totally inappropriate. And my monitor is large, I dread to think how small the text would look on a small screen.
2. UNCOMFORTABLE LAYOUT
The layout spans the whole width of the screen, making it very uncomfortable to use the site. All the important elements are aligned either to the left or the right of the screen, with a vast gap in the middle, meaning that one has to constantly dart one's eyes (or neck) back and forth, which is made even worse by the small font size which requires a person to "move in" towards the screen.
3. LACK OF PAGE TITLES
To add to the sense of disorientation, many of the key pages don't have a title, so you simply do not know where you are or what you are looking at. For example if you go to the main list of all the communities (forums.adobe.com/places), there is no title; nothing to tell you what you are looking at. Likewise, if you do a search, there is no title (eg "Search results"). Having titles at the top of pages is fundamental to web design so people don't get confused about where they are.
4. THE "FORUMS" DON'T LOOK LIKE FORUMS
I was brought to the "Using Flash Player" page by an external link, and when I arrived I was just totally confused about where I was and what I was looking at. The page title "Using Flash Player" didn't tell me I was in a discussion community. The page is littered with so many different links and features it is hard to know where to look and what the purpose of the page is. The page does not have a sense of being a discussion forum. I expect a discussion forum to have the word "discussion" somewhere at the top, with a list of threads and information such as last post, replies, views, as well as a way to see how many threads there are in that forum and a way to navigate between pages and see older threads. Not to mention all the strange buttons which I will mention in my next point…
5. MYSTERIOUS BUTTONS
A good website uses terminology and controls that people recognize and understand. But all the buttons on this site are strange. At the top of each discussion forum we have "Overview", "Content", "People", "Sub-communities" and "Follow". I can honestly say I have no idea what any of those mean or do (with the exception of "Sub-communities"). Websites should use clear, unambiguous language so that people know what the controls do and are not clicking on the "unknown". If your site does have unconventional controls that people are not going to be familiar with, you should have tooltip popups which explain, to make it easy for newcomers. I have clicked on those strange buttons but on the whole I have not been able to work out what they do. The "People" button would seem to be a way of finding users/members but surely that is a rare function and it should be at the foot of the page not in a prominent location? Likewise when you do a search, you must choose whether to search for "Content", "People" or "Communities". Most people will have no idea what the first two of these options mean, I certainly don't. It's just a very weird site.
6. INCONSISTENT LAYOUT
Another confusing thing is that there seem to be as many page layouts as there are pages! Every different page I have been to has no common elements or common menus, everything changes. Even different community pages have different features and different layouts. This leaves you feeling totally disoriented. A website's basic controls and menus should not keep shifting around, it leaves the user with no sense of continuity; it cripples their understanding of how the site functions; and it prohibits them from distinguishing between a page's controls and its content, since both keep changing around.
7. BUGGY
I am less critical of bugs because I know that inevitably they happen, and likewise will inevitably be resolved. But in my brief time using the forums I came across plenty of bugs, two are on the main welcome page:
A) First of all, a pop-up box appears which says "Say Something" inviting me to click on the pencil icon. I then click on the pencil icon and another box appears with options. However, the "Say Something" box is still there and it obscures the box below it. You can't click on it, so you have to click off both boxes, then the "Say Something" box is active again, then you can click on the small "skip" button, and then finally you can click on the pencil icon again and see what was there all along. Not a serious bug, but clumsy.
B) Also on the welcome screen there is a link at the top which says "New to the community? Check out our guidelines". I didn't hesitate to click on this because by this point I felt totally lost and confused and wanted all the help I could get. I clicked on that button and it took me to a page called Community Guidelines. I clicked on the first link ("Find answers to questions") which took me to an error page ("Unauthorized. Access to this community or content is restricted. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your administrator or the person who directed you here.
8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Finally, the terms and conditions upon signing up are unreasonably long, to the point of being prohibitive. If someone is having a problem with their software, they don't want to have to spend hours reading through terms and conditions before they can even get to ask a question. It is completely out of order to force people to read all those terms and conditions, and especially forcing people to re-read the whole thing any time there is an update. It is simply laziness on the part of the admin. They could carefully go through the terms and conditions and identify the key elements which have been changed and provide the user with a neat summary, thus saving thousands of people many hours of reading. When I take out a mortgage on a house, I have terms and conditions to read, and I expect there to be a lot. But when I simply want to sign up to a discussion forum, I do not expect a similar level of terms and conditions. People can go to, say, Yahoo or Google or YouTube and discuss these issues freely without having to read any terms and conditions at all. By putting up all these barriers you are just turning people away.
9. IDENTITY CRISIS
Finally (and in conclusion) I would say that the site doesn't seem to know why it exists: whether it is aimed at helping the general public or amusing technology lovers?
I would have expected a site like this to be aimed at the general public, since it is promoted as a help resource by Adobe, and covers a very wide range of products, meaning that a very large and wide range of people should be expected to visit it.
However, the site gives the opposite impression. It has what I would call a steep "learning curve", with complex page layouts, full of unconventional controls and features, as well as the emphasis on community. This would all seem to suggest it is more of an exclusive site aimed more at techy people who want to "hang out" here and become regular users. I feel it is excluding laypeople and casual visitors who are simply seeking quick help.
To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help".
If you want a good example of a good, clean, elegant design that is easy to use, go to www.google.com you will notice that the controls are simple and easy: the eye is immediately drawn to the central part of the screen where the main controls are and there are only two buttons. Then if you want to see more advanced features you can go to the smaller controls which are tucked away in the top right corner and do not distract anyone.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Office 2013 APP-V Tips and Tricks

Hi there,
I got Office 2013 working with APP-V 5.0 Sp2 and rolling it out globally.
Out of the box nothing goes wrong, but i'm testing a lot and whenever I unpublish and do not delete the old programdata directory my computers go nuts.
Does anyone have any tips and tricks for troubleshooting the Office 2013 APP-V Package?
For Example I unpublished the Office 2013 APP-V package because I needed to update it with a connection group and add an excel plugin. After I updated the excel plugin and connection group, the connection group was configured succesfully. Whenever I try
to open Office 2013 on a already used account it won't start without an error message.
When I log in as as different user everything goes fine.
However everything i'm trying to fix this for a particular user on the computer fails.
Manually removing the packages gives an error. Something with a rollback error. Really strange.
Does anyone have tips and tricks on rolling out App-v and publishing/unpublishing the application and modifying application connection groups.
This is driving me bananas because we have a dynamic changing environment. Out of the box it works fine but don't try to change anything because the computer goes nuts.

So I found out this value: <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
So if I perform the remove-appvclientpackage command I guess it sticks on this because something in the script goes wrong but how do I found
out what goes wrong?

Can you build a mobile website in Muse and redirect to a desktop website which is not built in Muse?

Hi
I am looking at the idea of extending my photoshop monthly subscription to one that will give me access to Muse and Illustrator etc.
I have been building mobile websites on a mobile platform and then redirecting these to clients desktop sites - this is an option for clients who don't want to go the whole hog with new web design.
Is it possible to build a mobile website using muse and then redirect this mobile website to an existing desktop site that has not been built on Muse?
Thanks in advance
Michele

You can certainly use Muse for hosting on other hosts as well. You do lose some of the functionality of Business Catalyst such as In Browser Editing. I just saw that you did your current one in Wordpress ... so I assume there is a blog?
If so, keep in mind that Muse alone does not have a blog feature. You can integrate a Business Catalyst Blog into it with a bit of knowledge on how BC works.

Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.

Images loaded fine in the previous version of firefox, but now do not open in firefox 5. It is our business' website. it opens and looks fine in explorer and other browsers.

Images (actually graphics) loaded fine in the previous version of firefox, but now do not open in firefox 5. It is our business' website. it opens and looks fine in explorer and other browsers. However, please goto www.trinitystone.biz (using Firefox 5)and look at how the top menu bar has a black box surrounding it and the bottom menu also has this black bar. It is not supposed to be there, if you view the site from IE, you will see what it is supposed to look like. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

When opening any page associated with Google (main search page, gmail, google maps, etc) the font is so tiny it is unreadable. Any other website is fine and this only happens with Mozilla. I just downloaded 3.6.12 and it's still a problem.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
