What is the correct way to create links to my website?

Hi
My site is finally finished and I am now looking to list it on various directories on the internet to generate links to my site.
When my site opens in a browser it shows up as http://ateccomputerservices.co.uk
I know this question has been asked many times on the internet but what is the correct way to post my link?
I know I should be consistent and use www or not on every link but none of the articles tell me whether I should use http:// or not when linking.
So for example, should I use...........
http://ateccomputerservices.co.uk
or
http://www.ateccomputerservices.co.uk
or
ateccomputerservices.co.uk
or
www.ateccomputerservices.co.uk
and should I put /index at the end?
Once I've decided on which link to use should I redirect all the other addresses to the main one?
I'm pretty new to web design so I need some advice from some seasoned experts
Thanks for taking the time to read my questions!

When you browse to http://ateccomputerservices.co.uk and to http://www.ateccomputerservices.co.uk do you get the same page?  Most hosts will automatically create a CNAME record for both 'www.example.tld' and 'example.tld' when the hosting account is created, but not all do.  If that second CNAME record is not created, then you must always use the "www" prefix.
If the reference to your site is a text reference only, then you could just use 'www.ateccomputerservices.co.uk', but if it's a link you should always make the LINK part (the HTML href attribute's value part) as a fully qualified URL, i.e., 'http://www,ateccomputerservices.co.uk' or 'http://ateccomputerservices.co.uk':
<p>Click <a href="http://ateccomputerservices.co.uk">here</a> to link to my site .</p>
When a browser requests that domain from the server, the server will fetch the first file it finds with a 'default filename' (usually 'index.html' or 'index.php' or 'home.html' or...) and upload that to the browser, so there is no need to further specify the filename - the default is when no filename is given.
Once I've decided on which link to use should I redirect all the other addresses to the main one?
I'm not sure what you are asking here....

    I'm seeing a hot pink background (which is my browser default
    - so that I do
    remember to declare a background color). You need to add:
    body { background-color: white;} to your stylesheet, or into
    the imbedded
    styles on your page.
    In Firefox, the very top black section, #headertop is hidden
    behind the
    header image.

    I can see the header image stretching right across the page..

  • What is the best way to create videos for my website?

    Hi,
    I'm a public speaking coach in Sydeny Australia.  I've started a blog and want to include videos to my newsletter subscribers.  I do not want to use YouTube, because I want to only share these videos to people on my list.
    What is the best way / program to create good videos for my customers?  I think I might need to upload these videos to my server and only share the links...?  Any suggestions welcome.
    Thank you
    Trevor Ambrose
    http://www.changingtools.com

    Trevor:
    This may be more information than you asked for, but here goes:
    Get a Samsung S10 Video camera (under $400) and a Zoom H4n Professional audio recorder.  Get Adobe Production Premium CS5. The camera shoots 1920 x 1080 square pixel in a better quality than a $6000 Panasonic P2 from 4 years ago. The downside, the audio from the Samsung is poor. That's why I recommend the Zoom H4n. On the Premiere timeline, you simply align the waveform of the video with the higher quality wave from the H4n. You can buy a medium sized fold up greenscreen and place any background behind your talent.  CS5 has Ultra built in, so you can easily key out the green right on the Premiere timeline revealing a nice background of your choice.
    I would design a web page based upon your current website's look and feel that will be a template for your videos. You export your finished video from the Premiere timeline as an f4v. I would recommend 16x9 widescreen and use the Flash preset of "Web Large Widescreen". You can also specify a "Fullscreen" button on the video's controller. The quality is so good that the video will look good even when your client watches it full screen. You import the video into Flash CS5 using the same document dimensions as your video size.  You create a Flash template and "Publish" your Flash movie TO your template. Then all that is necessary is to upload all of the associated Web ready files to your server via FTP or Dreamweaver. This workflow streamlines the process and saves hours of fiddling around.
    As far as the Web page goes that has your video, give the pages an HTML name like; vid0096hvc.html and use the Robots No Follow tag:
    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
    This is the next best thing to having a client log-in and works in a setting where people aren't paying
    to see the video, but you still don't want them plastered all over the internet.

  • What is the correct way to add styling to drag-and-drop created calendars?

    I have a working instance of a rich client calendar. I generated the view with the required fields (start, stop, provider, ...), put it into the App Module, and dragged it onto a JSF page to create a calendar.
    Next I created an activityScope object in a class called CalendarBean (no inheritance)
    Class CalendarBean()
    private HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles> activityColorMap;
    +..+
    +public CalendarBean() {+
    super();
    activityColorMap = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
    HashSet setEd = new HashSet<String>();
    HashSet setLen = new HashSet<String>();
    setEd.add("Work");
    setLen.add("Home");
    activityColorMap.put(setEd, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
    activityColorMap.put(setLen, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.RED));
    +}+
    +}+
    Next, I linked this up as a backing bean and associated the ActivityStyles of CalendarBean to it:
    +#{backingBeanScope.calendarBean.activityColorMap}+
    I populated some records in the database with properties "Work" and "Ed', but they show default blue.
    As I understand it, I need to do something with the getTags() method of the underlying CalendarActivity class, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.
    Took a stab at creating a class, CalendarActivityBean, that extended CalendarActivity, and pointed all the CalendarActivity references I had to the new class, but it didn't seem to fire (in debug), and I got into trouble, when inserting records, with
    public void calendarActivityListener(CalendarActivityEvent calendarActivityEvent) {
    currActivity = (CalendarActivityBean) calendarActivityEvent.getCalendarActivity();
    being an illegal cast
    What is the correct way to add provider-based styling to drag-and-drop create calendars?
    Ed Schechter

    A colleague of mine was kind enough to solve this:
    The calendar has ActivityStyles property = #{calendarBean.activityStyles}
    CalendarBean looks something like this:
    package com.hub.appointmentscheduler.ui.schedule;
    import java.util.HashMap;
    import java.util.HashSet;
    import java.util.Set;
    import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.CalendarActivityRamp;
    import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.InstanceStyles;
    +public class CalendarBean {+
    private HashMap activityStyles;
    private String dummy;
    +public CalendarBean() {+
    +// Define colors+
    activityStyles = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
    HashSet setPending = new HashSet<String>();
    HashSet setArrived = new HashSet<String>();
    HashSet setApproved = new HashSet<String>();
    HashSet setCompleted = new HashSet<String>();
    setApproved.add("APPROVED");
    setPending.add("PENDING");
    setArrived.add("ARRIVED");
    setCompleted.add("COMPLETED");
    activityStyles.put(setApproved, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.GREEN));
    activityStyles.put(setPending, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
    activityStyles.put(setArrived, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.PLUM));
    activityStyles.put(setCompleted, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.LAVENDAR));
    +}+
    +public void setactivityStyles(HashMap activityStyles) {+
    this.activityStyles = activityStyles;
    +}+
    +public HashMap getactivityStyles() {+
    return activityStyles;
    +}+
    +}+
    Now, go into the Bindings tab on the calendar page, double click the calendar binding, and specify the column you've defined as the calendar's Provider in the Tags dropdown.
    Should show colors.

  • Hi all! What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here.  Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
    Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec.  It's not lossless, but it is Master quality.  Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.

    I have created an image with multiple layers and many of the

    Where did you get this page? It is a melange of ImageReady,
    GoLive, and who
    knows what else, loaded with invalid usages, and other
    oddities....
    Anyhow, the first link shows me no slice marks - what am I
    looking for
    there?
    Normally, one would use an image map (use DW's F1 help to
    look for
    "hotspot") to do something like this.

    The first link is Encore CS5 help. It is a good beginning.  I'm not sure if the tutorial it links to is the same as my second link.  The AE help link below is also useful.
    CS5 allows creation of buttons in AE, but for plain navigation options, I think it is just as easy to add in Encore or Photoshop.

  • What is the correct way to call older version of Adober Reader?

    What is the correct way to call older version of Adober Reader? Specifically version 8? Acrobar Reader 8 or Adober Reader 8? Is is necessary to include "Reader"? We are creating a form and are adding instructions that it works with version 8 and newer. We want to make sure it is worded correctly!
    Thanks!
    Danielle

    When you "Save as" and you select the "compatibility with" for older versions, the document will be compatible with whatever version you choose, be it 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or higher. If you want to "test it", you'll need a computer with Reader 8 installed, but I've never seen the "Save as" make something that was incompatible with the version it was saving for.

  • What is the correct way to format file paths and names in the structapp file?

    I am trying to create a structured application to export fm files as xml, and probably read the xml back to fm.
    In the structured application file (structapp), I need to specify the locations of the various files (DTD, read/write, template, etc). I would like to place these files on a shared server so others can use the same structapp file (that is, a cop of it). What is the correct way to format the file paths and names? Can folders folder names and file names have spaces in them? I tried the following, for example:
    \\serverName\shareName\folder 1\folder 2\file name.dtd
    I use the same format for the template file and the read/write rules file.
    When I try to save an fm file to xml, FrameMaker says that it cannot read the DTD; however, the resulting xml file appears to be well-formed. The DOCTYPE element in the resulting xml is formatted with forward slashes and spaces replaced with %20.
    I tried using forward slashes and replacing spaces with %20, but then I get an error about reading the read/write rules.
    NOTE: I have another structured application to read xml into fm. This application does not have a DTD file. The template and read/write rules files are specified as above. Except for complaining about a lack of a DTD, the application works fine; it even applies an XSLT in the process. Again, when I DO add a DTD to this latter application, I get the same complaint about not being able to read the DTD.
    I am using fully patched FrameMaker 9 in Windows XP.
    Thanks,
    Van

    Hi Van,
    The XML parser and FrameMaker are not the same thing. The Error Log says which component created which message. The XSL processor is another option that can throw messages. The "\\server\path\some.dtd" syntax in structapps.fm seems to be fine for some tools, as Internet Explorer with XML tools successfully finds the DTD which appears as "//server/path/some.dtd" in the XML. But apparently Xerxes, the XML parser bundled with FrameMaker, does not like this notation.
    If you have a path with a drive letter, "H:\path\some.dtd", FrameMaker turns that into "file:///H:/path/some.dtd". It seems, Xerces would like to see "file:/" in front of absolute paths.
    This is what I have in structapps.fm:
    Template: \\server\path\projecttemplate.fm
    DTD: some.dtd
    Read/write rules: \\server\path\projectrules.txt
    DOCTYPE: …
    Entity locations
      Entity search paths
        1: \\server\path\
    In the structapps.fm I have the DTD without path information. The resulting XML (without XSL postprocessing) then contains just the file name with a relative path back to the book folder (when saving a book as XML). It therefore requires the DTD to be available at this place. I handle this using an event script that fires for NotePreSaveXml and copies the DTD to the folder of the original document.
    As I always use XSL postprocessing and using XSLT1 it is not possible to have the doctype-system as a parameter I have this in my XSL stylesheet:
    <xsl:output doctype-system="some.dtd" />
    For the resulting XML the DTD is expected to be in the same folder as the XML file. This is handled by the same event script as above, it therefore copies the DTD to the source and the target folder.
    Bottom line: If you want/have to use UNC paths, you have to do some programming to work around a FrameMaker bug.

  • What is the best way to create business documents in CRM

    Hi All,
    What is the best way to create business documents like contract, sales order, debit memo etc in CRM ? Unlike R3 we can't use our good old BDC with recording. Moreover for most of them although there are Business Object but no BAPI to creation so what is the way ? I found in SDN there are two MAGIC Function module CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE. Do I need to that alawys ?
    Is it nees to via IDoc and cannot be done just by calling from ABAP program ? The input parameter of the FM is a complex deep structure.
    Please help.

    Ashim,
    Try looking at the program:
    CRM_TEST_ORDER_MAINTAIN
    I think that should help you figure out the parameters.

  • 1.4.2 - What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream

    What is the correct way to format output in the java.io.PrintStream?
    The following is incorrect, even though it is still used in the The JavaTM Tutorial at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/

    The whole format thing has been introduced in 1.5. The tutorial also states it's been "updated to 1.5.".
    That's all I've got to say for I don't know how you can format a PrintWriter, let alone a PrintStream, prior to 1.5. I'm not really sure there is any way. Any "legacy way", that is. There almost certainly are third-party API which achieve similar results.

    What is the best way to create a database schema from XML?
    i have  a complex XML file that I want to create a database from and consistently import new XML files of the same schema type. Currently I have started off by mapping the XSD into Excel and using Mysql for Excel to push into MySQL.
    There must be a more .net microsoft solution for this but I cannot locate the topic and tools by searching. What are the best tools and way to manage this?
    Taking my C# further

    Hi Saythj,
    When mentioning "a database schema from XML", do you mean the
    XML Schema Collections? If that is what you mean, when trying to import XML files of the same schema type, you may take the below approach.
    Create an XML Schema Collection basing on your complex XML, you can find
    many generating tools online to do that.
    Create a Table with the above created schema typed XML column as below.
    CREATE TABLE youTable( Col1 int, Col2 xml (yourXMLSchemaCollection))
    Load your XML files and try to insert the xml content into the table above from C# or some other approaches. The XMLs that can't pass the validation fail inserting into that table.
    If you have any question, feel free to let me know.
