Joomla! Your Own CMS Solution
Joomla!, another widely used content management system, which is supported by its large community of developers, possesses all the features to suit any nature of business. No matter if you want to make a professional website, an online shop or a personal website you can do it all for through Joomla!

Its easy installation and powerful administrator's panel makes it winner amongst the other content management solutions. One can very easily add content, images & audio and manage the database of his website. Such a great popularity of this software is also due to the large numbers of available templates and extensions. Wide availability of its plug-ins also helps the owner to make the website the way it needs to be. The setting up of its navigation structure also can be managed with the help of auxiliary tools.

Being an open source it is free to all and can be used by anyone. Its extensions, which help you in customisation of your website, can be found on its website. Some are free and for others you need to pay to use. But still if you are not exactly getting the module or extension of your choice you can create it. There are various tutorials available online for Joomla. You can read and watch videos available on YouTube or other video sharing sites. To understand the codes, you just need to have little technical knowledge about HTML and PHP and then, even you would be able to work on its technicalities. Or, the best and the most feasible thing would be to hire a company providing Joomla! services and they will do it for you in a more professional manner.

Joomla! Benefits:

1: Since the software has database driven site engine, it helps you to separate content, design and code.
2: Control over content. You do not need to be a technical person to publish or edit content.
3: People, other than admin can also publish content i.e multiple logins/users/authors.
4: Easy customisation of layout or design without disturbing the content.
5: You can create polls/voting system and forum to measure readers' choice.
6: Thousands of 3rd Part Extension to make your customization easy.
7: Browser upload of images to your own library for use anywhere in the site.

So if you are planning to adopt any CMS solution for your website anytime soon then don't forget to keep Joomla! away from your consideration list.

The importance of the Meta Description tag

Posted by Herbs | Posted on 6:31 PM

How important is the meta description tag ?
-this is a very frequently asked question by blogger all around the world.

These days the importance of the meta description is less and less important. The meta description was originally and important factor for a higher position in search engines ranking. On that time search engines weren`t so "wise", and the meta descriptions where full of spammy keywords.



Now search engines are more wiser and spamming your meta description might can bring to get penalized or even banned. It`s not easy to recover your blog from a ban. Be aware, if you decide to use meta descriptions don`t make them look spammy and don`t stuff the them whit lots of keywords.

If you have a relevant meta description google may use it as a snippet for search results description , else it will use a piece of text from your content or instead google may use your ODP (DMOZ) directory description.

A well written meta description can attract more visitors through search engines search results , but be careful , don`t use the same description for all your pages ,google and some other search engines may threat this as duplicated content.
Try to keep your description tag bellow 150 characters (including spaces), don`t repeat any word more than twice ,a high keyword density may can bring to get penalized. Write accurate ,relevant and unique descriptions for each particular page, write them for humans instead of search engines.

In conclusion, the meta description tag is useless for your ranking. It has no weight in google algorithm.

blog directory , traffic source Blogcatalog is a great blog directory which aggregates member activity across other popular networks. Blogcatalog offers many features ,you can follow other users and other users can follow you. By following someone you will see their updates (newest blog posts , profile changes , friends list updates...) on your dashboard. The bad part of this social blogger community is that the links are NoFollow , but using it well can bring you lots of visitors.


Sign up , it worth! Your blog will be ranked, with a higher rank you will be in a higher position on the blogs list in your category. Your score is depending on the number of reviews and the ratings what your profile visitors gave to your blog. Talk with other bloggers and get them to vote your blog. Following others and being active will help go gain followers and more traffic for you. Add your communities to your profile ,maybe some of your visitors will follow you on other networks ,too. The key to get traffic from social networks is to talk with others , make friend , join groups , to be active. For example if you are an addicted to blogging join my Blogcatalog Group: Bloggers Group

Change image on mouseover (hover)

Posted by Herbs | Posted on 11:30 PM

(0) comments

These days I spent many hours designing and creating my template because I want to make it look professional and beautiful. I`m still working on my template but soon it will be ready. During this time I used many effects like changing an image on mouseover (hover). This can be done with three methods ,one using a short javascript code and one using a bit longer CSS code, one using CSS sprites.



1. Using javascript
This code doesn`t need any CSS code , just change the URLs of the images.

2. Using CSS
This method is more advanced, place the first piece of code , the CSS part right before ]]> ,the HTML part of the code can be placed anywhere between and or even inside a gadget (sidebar).
The CSS part of the code:
.class-name {
display:block;
background-image:url(http://first-image.jpg);
width:100px;
height:100px;
}
.class-name:hover {
background-image:url(http://second-image.jpg);
}
The HTML part of the code:
NOTE: Use the same class name at both of codes , you can use any name. Change the width and height attributes to the size of you image , if the first and second images have different size place the width and height attribute of the second image after the line with the URL of the second image.

3. Using CSS Sprites
I will write more about this method in another post more detailed.





Cute comments area for blogger

Posted by Herbs | Posted on 8:43 PM

These days I was searching for problems of bloggers to solve when I noticed that none of Blogger blogs have the comment avatar images on the right side. Only Wordpress blogs have this feature to set the position of the avatar images. I`ve spent two days finding a solution when I decided to customize the entire comments area. I think my comments area is now pretty cool, but it`s difficult to install it. Please read with attention, follow the steps bellow carefully and BACK UP your template!


Here is an image about my comments area, later in this tutorial I will show you how to customize it:
Installing this comment area form
This is pretty difficult, read with attention!

1. Go to your Dashboard, Layout , Edit HTML and check in the Expand Widget Templates checkbox.

2. Find the following code (Ctrl + F and type in comments-block):

































3. Replace the above code with the following one:4. Find the following codes and remove them:
Your code may be a little different , search for the starting tags
#comments-block {
margin:1em 0 1.5em;
line-height:1.6em;
}
#comments-block .comment-author {
margin:.5em 0;
}
#comments-block .comment-body {
margin:.25em 0 0;
}
#comments-block .comment-footer {
margin:-.25em 0 2em;
line-height: 1.4em;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing:.1em;
}
#comments-block .comment-body p {
margin:0 0 .75em;
}
Customizing the comments area

Find the ]]> line and place the following code BEFORE it!
#comments-block3 {
padding:0;
margin:0;
float:left;
overflow:hidden;
}
#comments {
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#comment-name-url {
width:465px;
float:left;
}
#comment-date {
width:465px;
float:left;
}
#comment-header {
float:left;
border:1px dotted rgb(187, 187, 187);
padding:5px 0 5px 10px;
margin:5px;
background: rgb(238, 238, 238);
}
.avatar-image-container {
background:url(http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu178/coolboycsaba/no-avatar4.jpg);
width:48px;
height:48px;
float:right;
margin:5px 10px 5px 5px;
}
.avatar-image-container img {
border: 1px solid white;
width:48px;
height:48px;
}
a.comments-autor-name {
color:#088A08;
font-weight:bold;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
}
a.says {
color:black;
font-weight:bold;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
}
.says a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}
a.comment-permalink {
color:#088A08;
font-weight:normal;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
}
1. Change the size of the avatar image
Customize the size of the comments to fit to your template:
First change the size of the avatar images:
.avatar-image-container {
background:url(http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu178/coolboycsaba/no-avatar4.jpg);
width:48px;
height:48px;
float:right;
margin:5px 10px 5px 5px;
}
.avatar-image-container img {
border: 1px solid white;
width:48px;
height:48px;
}
To change the size of the avatar images replace the red marked values to any number of pixels. Use the same at all red marked code lines.
Now change the size of the comments area:
#comment-name-url {
width:465px;
float:left;
}
#comment-date {
width:465px;
float:left;
}
The size of the comments area is depending on the size of the main-wrapper and on the size of the avatar image: e.g:
(main-wrapper)550px - (avatar image)48px - (paddings , margins and borders)37px = 465px

The padding and margins size is in bold because it`s always 37px, calculate the size of your comments area size and use the result as the value of the red marked code lines.

2. Change the colors
To change the background color of the comments change the red code line , to change the color of the border change the blue code line to any color.
#comment-header {
float:left;
border:1px dotted rgb(187, 187, 187);
padding:5px 0 5px 10px;
margin:5px;
background: rgb(238, 238, 238);
}
e.g:
#comment-header {
float:left;
border:1px dotted red;
padding:5px 0 5px 10px;
margin:5px;
background:#FF00FF;
To change the color of the comment author name change the red marked code line , to change the color of the comment posted date change the blue marked code line, to change the color of the says word change the green marked code line.
a.comments-autor-name {
color:#088A08;
font-weight:bold;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
}
a.says {
color:black;
font-weight:bold;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
}
a.comment-permalink {
color:#088A08;
font-weight:normal;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
}
3. Change the border types
Here are the border types to chose from, every comment have a border.
#comment-header {
float:left;
border:1px dotted rgb(187, 187, 187);
padding:5px 0 5px 10px;
margin:5px;
background: rgb(238, 238, 238);
}
Dotted
-this is the default , don`t change the red marked code

Dashed
-to use this type of borders change the value of the red marked word to dashed

Solid
-change the red marked word to solid

4. Change the No-Avatar image:
.avatar-image-container {
background:url(http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu178/coolboycsaba/no-avatar4.jpg);
width:48px;
height:48px;
float:right;
margin:5px 10px 5px 5px;
}
Change the URL (marked with red) with the URL of your image, please change it or download the image and upload it to your own host or photobucket , don`t steal my bandwidth!
Save your template!
Well done! If you have followed all the above steps carefully your comments area is pretty cool and it`s ready to use!
NOTE: Please don`t remove that small link at the end! Thanks my reading our blog!
