Become the centre of attention - Part one - Google and Google Maps

TerraMedia — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 01:50:22 +0000

2008 has been a great year, despite the challenges that many of us have faced with the financial crisis and reduced consumer spending around the world. However, when times get tough, we innovate and improve. So for the start of 2009, I would like to have a look at what you can do yourself for free or with a minimal cost to help make sure potential customers are able to find your website easily.

What does your website say when you search for it?

TerraMedia — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:59:21 +0000

A website says a lot, but what does it say to anyone that is searching for it? Do they even consider looking at your website? Getting your website indexed by search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft Live is one thing, but making sure they list what you want them to list is just as important.

I was looking for a particular item the other day and came across their website in the search results, what did it say?

"Sorry your browser does not support Iframes. Please update your browser in order to view our site properly. We recommend IE 5+ for both Mac and PC. Thanks!"

/Dev/World/2008 Developer Conference

TerraMedia — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:39:51 +0000

Today, I will be leaving to head down to Melbourne to attend the /Dev/World/2008 conference on Monday and Tuesday, and subsequently my availability until I get back on Wednesday will be limited. I will be available by email all the time whilst I am there, and by phone minimally if necessary.

I expect the conference to be extremely beneficial as it goes into a variety of development topics, including:

What is Google Chrome and how does it compare to other browsers?

TerraMedia — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 05:11:45 +0000

Google Chrome is the surprise open-source web browser from Google that was launched in beta form at the start of the month.

Chrome has a clean, minimalist interface and incorporates a lot of interesting features and benefits, some already available in other browsers, some not.

Where does your website go when you aren't looking? The importance of cross-browser compatibility

TerraMedia — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 05:42:18 +0000

Your website looks great doesn't it? What does the rest of the world see though? When your back is turned and your website is out running wild through the data pipes that are the internet, does it still look great?

Maybe you browse the web using Internet Explorer, or Firefox, perhaps Safari or Opera, but how many browsers are there really and how does your website look to someone using a different browser to you?

If your website hasn't been designed with cross-browser compatibility in mind and tested in a variety of browsers, there is a good chance that your website won't look right in other browsers.
