Sarmale si mici

Am tacut o vreme, si asta nu neaparat pentru ca am intrat ca si Romania in vacanta de 1 Mai. Am petrecut sarbatorile de Pasti la Oxford si a fost foarte frumos. Vremea a fost foarte buna, asa incat am lancezit pe paturi in parcuri si am mobilizat gratarul cu carnati cu usturoi verde, coaste olimpice, aripi aviare, si alte de astea.

Sebastian s-a simtit excelent, a alergat toate zilele si a jucat golf in curte la Catalin. Dupa ce ne-am intors acasa, au reinceput ploile.

Alte chestiuni relativ interesante de pe aici:

• Am vazut un prim episod dintr-o serie de documentare BBC/Open University intitulate “Immigrant Life”. Daca ar fi fost facute in Ro probabil ar fi insemnat un lung sir de metafore, incurajari, laudarosenii, etc. Asa a fost foarte interesant, mai ales ca unul dintre subiecti era un roman sofer de taxi in Plymouth
• Alta serie de documentare pe BBC e acum “Chinese School”. Imagini familiare cu olimpiade, Daciada chineza, cravate, defilare si alegeri de comandat de grupa si de detasament.
• In alt domeniu, de pe E-media Tidbits am aflat cum e cu interactivitatea in ziarele europene:

Nu ca as fi eu un mare amator de agregare de stiri, insa e interesant de stiut, direct de la Google News Blog despre ce e adevarat si ce nu despre Google News.

• O imagine plasata langa o stire ii creste acestei stiri rankingul  - FALS
• Actualizarea unei stiri dupa publicare creeaza probleme pentru Google News - ADEVARAT
• Momentul publicarii influenteaza rankingul- FALS 
• Articolele exclusiv multimedia nu vor aparea in Google News - ADEVARAT
• Nu se pot afla cauzele unui ranking scazut in Google News - (cica) FALS
• O harta a site-ului ajuta rankingul - FALS
• Un redesign de site va afecta Google News - ADEVARAT
• Daca site-ul foloseste AdSense, rankingul va fi mai bun - FALS

Sa-i credem?

Foarte tarziu, via Molly.com am aflat si eu despre acest hit de pe YouTube. Aveti filmul mai jos si versurile si mai jos:

Design Coding

Your site design is the first thing people see
it should be reflective of you and the industry
easy to look at with a nice navigation
when you can’t find what you want it causes frustration

a clear Call to action to increase the temptation
use appealing graphics they create motivation
if you have animation
use with moderation
cause search engines can’t index the information

display the logos of all your associations
highlight your contact info that’s an obligation
create a clean design you can use some decoration
but to try to prevent any client hesitation

every page that they click should provide and explanation
should be easy to understand like having a conversation
when you design the style go ahead and use your imagination

but make sure you use correct color combinations
do some investigation, look at other organizations
but don’t duplicate or you might face a litigation
design done, congratulations but it’s time to start construction

follow these instructions when you move into production
your photoshop functions then slice that design
do your layout with divs make sure that it’s aligned
please don’t use tables even though they work fine
when it come to indexing they give searches a hard time

make it easy for the spiders to crawl what you provide
remove font type, font color and font size
no background colors, keep your coding real neat

tag your look and feel on a separate style sheet
better results with xml and css
now you making progress, a lil closer to success
describe your doctype so the browser can relate
make sure you do it great or it won’t validate

check in all browsers, I do it directly
gotta make sure that it renders correctly
some use IE, some others use Flock
some use AOL, I use Firefox

title everything including links and images
don’t use italics, use emphasis
don’t use bold, please use strong
if you use bold that’s old and wrong

when you use CSS, you page will load quicker
client satisfied like they eating on a snicker
they stuck on your page like you made it with a sticker
and then they convert now that’s the real kicker
make you a lil richer, your site a lil slicker

design and code right man I hope you get the picture
what I’m telling you is true man it should be a scripture
if it’s built right you’ll be the pick of the litter
everyone will want to follow you like twitter
competition will get bitter and you’ll shine like glitter

if you trying to grow your company will get bigger
design and code right man can you get with it
