Where to build blog, based on these parameters

It's been a long journey with lots of reading and experimenting.
The setting: I build my site in iWeb, Publish to Folder, add tags in iWeb SEO Tool, and FTP to GoDaddy.
SEO is very important to me, though I haven't implemented everything on my to-do list yet.
For me, starting a blog is mostly about SEO, and driving potential clients to my GoDaddy-hosted website, which is here: http://www.keithraygor.com
I started with a blog in iWeb and was swayed away by reports of sluggish behavior and lack of certain features.
Notes on iWeb blog:
I loved the design and the process.
Comments and search are not important to me.
Posting from a browser is not important to me, as most posts will be planned out, and I won't be needing to do it while away. (If if I really do need to post from the road, I'd bring a flash drive with the domain on it).
I've become adept at FTP'ing only updated pages, and can continue to do this with blog posts if needed.
I'm not afraid of losing everything, as I backup daily to several locations.
Is the sluggish behavior noted by others only if the blog is hosted on MobileMe? If so, then maybe continuing to build the blog in iWeb will allow me SEO benefits, especially that of having the content directly attached to my website. If sluggish behavior is because of iWeb code, then I can see where I'd have problems.
Because of the posts about iWeb's blog, and based on recommendations, I started a blog on Wordpress yesterday, which is here: http://magickeith.wordpress.com/
I got it to look somewhat similar to my iWeb blog, and am happy with the results.
Only AFTER I finished, did a friend inform me that Wordpress.COM will probably not help my SEO efforts due to it not being attached to my website, and sending prospective clients away from my site. Even if I form my own navigation buttons, I would have those problems. So at this point, I'm rather frustrated because of the many hours of trial and error it took to build the blog and to learn a new structure (Wordpress), and spending $59 to get my video onto Wordpress.
My friend suggested Wordpress.ORG, and I understand the difference, and that I can have it integrated and hosted as part of my site on GoDaddy, but the problem is I have neither the time nor the inclination to understand the heady process involved. I know nothing of HTML, CSS, php, SLQ, datebases, etc. I see the advantages, I'm just burnt on the process already, and just can't see myself jumping into a third attempt at building a blog while tackling new languages.
I've also tried Karelia's Sandvox, and am almost tempted to go their Pro route due to their incorporated SEO, but to be honest, I just don't like any of their templates - and I don't think I'd be able to create the look I have already on my website, with their software.
Based on the importance of SEO to my efforts, is my best bet just going back to iWeb, and using their blog page to get the content onto my site and out to people?
Is there a solution that I'm not thinking of?
I appreciate any guidance. Thanks for taking the time to read through this lengthy post.

The iWeb blog is not suitable for serious blogging as it rapidly grows into a huge, sluggish mess.
If you publish it to a commercial server you will lose the comments feature.
Wordpress is used successfully for many commercial blogs and I can't see why you would have any problems with SEO.
As you have realized, the link to the blog would be an external one incorporated in a custom navigation menu. As such, the blog and its pages would be included in the sitemap and would be accessed by the search engine spiders.
The website, iWebforMusicians, is built on nine different domain files and each section is accessed from the main menu through external hyperlinks. The sitemap is created with Rage Sitemap Automator and all the pages are indexed.
The iWeb templates such as blog, podcast, photos and albums tend to hamper SEO. To make iWeb work in a commercial environment, you have to go out of the box a bit and you are on the right track by using an alternative blog. Wordpress is a viable alternative to iWeb for website creation that not many seem to consider. I would be more inclined to use it rather than Sandvox and others for the whole website.
Your Wordpress blog, in my opinion, looks and performs a lot better than the iWeb ones I have struggled through.

  • Is it possible to use a case statement when joining different tables based on input parameters?

    Hi,
    I have a scenario where my stored procedure takes 5 parameters and the users can pass NULL or some value to these parameters and based on the parameters, I need to pull data from various tables.
    Is it possible to use a case statement in the join, similar the one in the below example. I'm getting error when I use the below type of statement.
    select a.*
    from a
    case
    when parameter1=1 then
    inner join a on a.id = b.id
    when parameter1=2 then
    inner join a on a.id = c.id
    end;
    Please let me know, if this type of statement works, and if it works will it create any performance issues?. If the above doesn't work, could you please give me some alternate solutions?
    Thanks.

    Here's a technique for joining A to B or C depending on the input parameters. In theory, you are joining to both tables but the execution plan includes filters to skip whichever join is not appropriate. The drawback is that you have to do outer joins, not inner ones.
    CREATE TABLE A AS SELECT LEVEL ak FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 100;
    CREATE TABLE b AS SELECT ak, bk
    FROM A, (SELECT LEVEL bk FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 10);
    CREATE TABLE c(ak, ck) AS SELECT ak, bk*10 FROM b;
    variable p1 NUMBER;
    variable p2 NUMBER;
    exec :p1 := 1;
    exec :p2 := 20;
    SELECT /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ A.ak, nvl(b.bk, c.ck) otherk FROM A
    LEFT JOIN b ON A.ak = b.ak AND :p1 IS NOT NULL AND b.bk = :p1
    LEFT JOIN c ON A.ak = c.ak AND :p1 is null and :p2 IS NOT NULL and c.ck = :p2
    WHERE A.ak <= 9;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(NULL,NULL,'IOSTATS LAST'));

       8 - filter((:P2 IS NOT NULL AND :P1 IS NULL))

    SELECT * FROM TABLE(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(NULL,NULL,'IOSTATS LAST'));
    Now table B is not accessed.

  • Weren't these parameters deprecated in 11g ?

    Version  : 11.2.0.3
    Platform : RHEL 5.8
    All our 11.2 DBs (RAC & Single Instance) still seems to have background_dump_dest, core_dump_dest and user_dump_dest parameters set.
    I was under the impression that these parameters were replaced by diagnostic_dest. We have diagnostic_dest set too.
    These DBs are created as per the standard build ie. Created according to the instructions by our engineering team which apparently are bight guys.
    Is this expected behaviour?

    BTW.Where is the preview button which we had in our earlier Forum interface ?

    The diagnostic_dest parameter specifies the base for the directory structure that contains all diagnostic files, and that structure cannot be changed. For example, the location for the alert log is $DIAGNOSTIC_DEST/rdbms/<database_name>/<instance_name>/trace, which is where the background_dump_Dest is set to. You can set it to something else, and you will a little stub alert log that says, in effect, "I'm not using this":

  • SQL server Database - Command based Crystal reports parameters issue

    Hi,
    We are migrating Oracle to SQL server database and trying to point our crystal reports  to new database.
    In command based reports, the parameters are defined in the where clause like this
       (' All' in {?Country} or loc.country in {?Country} )
    On modifying the report script to ANSI standard, loc.country in {?Country} gets recognized by Crystal but   'All' in {?Country} does not work.
    I am pretty sure that it should be defined in a different way,but not able to figure out.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • APP-FND-01702 An assignment does not exit for these parameters

    Hi,
    I am facing this below error in AP,AR,CM,GL Modules. If any one knows the solution plz revert back ASAP,
    I encountered the error message when I created an invoice in AP module:
    APP-FND-01702:An assignment does not exist for these parameters and one is mandatory.
    Cause:The profile option Sequential Numbering is defined to have
    sequential numbering always used. The current set of parameters does not have a sequence assigned.
    Acction: Go to the Assign Sequqnces screen and assign a sequenct to the current set of parameters.
    Regards,
    senthil

    Hi Senthil,
    this is an issue with the configuration only, when the profile option is Always used system is referring to your Sequential numbering configuration, which seems to be not right / incomplete...Hence verify whether you have defined assignment for all the categories in the modules and re-test the same again ....
    You can change the profile option value to Partially used, which will not throw an error, it would only give you a warning ..

    What are you asking? Where music is stored or where the user accounts were stored?
    Music should be in the music folder - perhaps inside of an iTunes folder.
    User accounts should be on the home directory.

    You have a number of things that will make this not work.
    Your mailto link is not the way to go, take a look at this and it should get you on the right path.
    http://www.paulgdesigns.com/learncontactform.php
    On your action page, you can have it give the thank you message that you want.  Having a seperate page saying they forgot to do something complicates matters more than you might wish at this point, and usually irritates people. however if you decide you want to go that way, look up "sticky forms".  What this does is re-populate the fields when they have to go back to correct.
    A better way would be to validate the information, you can use Spry if you want which is built into dreamweaver.
    You also have in your html form this
    enctype="multipart/form-data"
    That is used for sending files, and since you are not, the form would not work, so you want to remove it.
    Hopefully that will give you a starting point.

  • Auto-set Conditional Build Tags Based On Style?

    Is there a way to auto-set conditional build tags based on style?
    I want to be able to import a Word document into RoboHelp and have it recognize certain styles as requiring certain conditional tags. For example, an imported Word document might have a style called WD_Internal and any text with that style would automatically have a conditional build tag assigned to it. The idea is to allow my SMEs to indicate which text is intended for internal audiences and which text is OK for customer consumption in a single central Word document using styles. When the content is correct, I'd import it into RoboHelp, have RoboHelp assign conditional build tags, then generate multiple printed versions of the document (an internal version and a public consumption version).
    Setting conditional build tags is pretty easy, but it will still be a lot of work to manually set them. Is there a way to do this automatically?
    I am using RoboHelp HTML RH9.
