subdomain to stay in address bar

Well, it was worth it to start the thread about making the subdomain stay in address bar (see my earlier post about this here) as today it finally got solved: so, if you want to make sure that when you setup your subdomain it reads subdomain.maindomain.com instead of maindomain.com/subdomain and have a domain and hosting provider similar to GoDaddy (i.e. Cheapdomain.com), this thread on Mod_Rewrite Forums will be very useful for you:

Internet Explorer CSS "cheats"

I didn't really think that I'll need this, but it came out I did while I was working on the GutscheineRabatte.de website: some things just don't appear the way they should in Internet Explorer while they're perfect in Firefox (or the other way around :). Anyway, there's an easy way with which you can go around this:

SEO Browser

Would SEO (Search Engine Optimization) ever matter to you, you'll find this website extremely useful: the SEO Browser is showing you how the search engines see your website so you can make corrections accordingly. A very useful and handy tool in case you want to make sure that your website starts to climb up the not at all easy hill of search engine ranking.

Some more info about .htaccess + mod_rewrite

Today I was trying to look for .htaccess commands to make sure that my subdomain I setup, stays in the address bar, just like it is in case of this blog, webeno.blogspot.com. I got a bit disctracted by visiting some otherwise very useful articles, like Ultimate htaccess Examples, the .htaccess Tutorial thread of AskApache.com, or the one about domain masking with .htaccess at Site5.com Forums but, however being very detailed and needy in some cases, none of them provided me with the solution I needed. So finally I stumbled upon a website called Mod_Rewrite Forums and posted this thread: subdomain to stay in address bar. Hope it gets solved soon! ;)

Update:
The solution of this thread can be found in my post of the 7/17/09: Subdomain to stay in address bar.

My first Flash animation

Well, yes, I was tempted too, so I downloaded a Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Trial, looked up a tutorial and found this very nice and easy one: Creating a Simple Animation.

See my first Flash animation below :)



Want to know how I embedded this Flash animation? Here's the code:

Vista Button with Gimp

Today I was looking for a tutorial about how to create a nice 3D-like button in Gimp (a very good quality freeware image editor) and found this article: Vista Button | Gimp-tutorials.net. It's very detailed and comprehensible, thanks again, dude! ;)

Avoiding duplicate content + .htacess tricks

Another important factor in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is avoiding duplicate content. This RagePank.com (mind the swapped first letters of the 2 words - genious!) article gives some information as to how it is taken by the search engines and how you can prevent duplicate content by using some .htaccess commands. Some of the commands can be setup through the standard user interface of your domain provider, but sometimes .htaccess is really very useful to know about it a little bit more. Another fine compilation of basic .htaccess commands can be found here .htaccess Tutorial - Part 1.
