handy information when posting something on a forum or on your website

voorma

step 1: first think of what the site will be going on.
step 2: get a nice idea of you're gonna typ it
step 3: use a nice font type etc.
step 4: dont make 1 LARGE page of text, make more pages of place it in pieces, 1 large piece of tekst issn't nice to read, most people just click it away.
step5: if its a text that makes information about something (example: like i am writing now) place some images with it suporting the topic ( i now i should have done that to, just dont got any or have time to make it)
step 6: chek the topic/post later again if there are any answers or questions.

not sure if it will be needer or used, its a reminder for myself too.

Python

Thanks

however would you mind making it more presentable(e.g. use capitalization, headeings etc)

it then just means a little less work for me when I come to adding the articles to the site.

voorma

oh... yea sorry:P (i dont understant 100% of what your saying (sorry))

tony

He means using punctuation
full stops (.), Capital Letters, commas (,) appostraphies (') etc

voorma

Python

Step 6: Check back to see if anyone has replied.

Is that better?

daboss

LMAO!!!

You missed a space between "Step 1" and "First think"...

CannonBallGuy

I have no idea what your on about. :P

Python

lol, yeah thats better

CannonBallGuy

Maybe I will write some of my own articles...
What do I get in return for submitting them here and www.web-master-talk.com?

Python

Well you can include a link in the footer of the articles - up to 3 in fact.

Hopefully in the future when the sites grows your article will be viewed by hyndreds of people, plus those articles will be integrated with the DevDreams site so they will be shown to over 800 people daily - also at web-master-talk.com the article section will soon be search engine optimized using mod_rewrite so the se's will get to your link easyily.

CannonBallGuy

No points? Aw... c'mon...
Ya' know ya' want to

daboss

Come on P, that's not good enuf...

Python

hehe. well the article system doesnt work with the points system so it would have to be done manually...which I suppose could be done....but could get a little annoying

CannonBallGuy

Well... if your gonna be doing it manually, you may as well just send us real $ through PayPal... :P

daboss

Since we're wishing, why not just TT the funds into my bank account straight...

Python

lmao, keep dreaming

CannonBallGuy

Welll... I prefer cash... 50's... In a HUGE silver griefcase...

But seriously, we can put our link in the tut, but thats all?

Python

ok, ok.. for every article you submit I will give you 50 points here at DD. and then when i figure some other reward out ill let you know

CannonBallGuy

Wooohooo!!

daboss

Alrite! 50 points - now I can go buy my next laptop!!!!

Haven't had time to write anything at all the past week - maybe I'll contribute something this weekend - I've been thinking of writing about Databases and PHP.

CannonBallGuy

Articles I may be writing soon:

• Getting + Setting up a GMail account,
• Choosing the right host for you,
• Installing a Skin on InvisionBoard 1.3,
• Making 3D text in Photoshop,
• Using Google to the Max.

None of those are gonna be really big complex articles and some of the things are pretty easy anyway...
But imagaine you were a total n00b to the web... What order should I do those in?
Which are the best to do?

daboss

I think you've got a good set of articles to write. Just move your butt and actually write them

Python

the order in which you write them doesnt really matter. I agree with daboss though ^^^, lol

CannonBallGuy

lol... Okay... Any preference as to which ones I write first thought, since I doubt I will write any tonight... Maybe if I get bored..

daboss

I'll vote for the Installing a Skin on InvisionBoard 1.3 since I don't know how to do that.

Python

there ya go the. do that one first

then do the 3d text in photoshop one

CannonBallGuy

Ah poo. I already started the "Make the most of Google..."
But maybe I will put that on hold, or just do the other 2 afterwards...

Python

lol, the order really doesnt matter. do them in whichever oredr you feel like it
