This web-site takes a 'turn' (we hope
for the better) from previous web-page-outlines / arrangements.
One of the things I've attempted to do, in the past, is to get a better
handle on who likes to view what parts of the web-page(s) and where the
different 'focus' areas of our web-page(s) are most 'relevant' to what
readers ???
ONE way I'm going to attempt to do this in the future, is to
re-organize the web-page into 'subject-specific-pages'
- that is when
you come to our (BeachWeb) web-page in the future, if you're
interested in "Bird and Plant
Pictures" for instance, there will be a link for you to click-on to get
to the 'bird and plant pictures' (maybe bird, plant, and shrubery or
something
like that)...
If you're interested in sailing / kiteboarding /
hang-gliding pictures (sports things) there will be a link for
that.
If you're interested in house, school, yard, cat and other domestic
things - there will be a link
for that, too.
Several 'goals' are here to 'exploit'
1.) I hope to provide the user - viewer with a more 'concise' way to
view our 'content' (that is if you're not interested in bird-plant
pictures but are interested in sports - then I hope to give you a more
direct methodology to get to the sports - and vice-versa.
2.) I hope (eventually) to learn something about and start to use "CSS"
(Cascading Style Sheets) - which may or may not make a lot of
difference to the user - viewer but it will help me learn something
new. I've found two books at the library - and I'll work through
these and work on some examples and so-forth. The two books are:
- Designing CSS Web Pages
(2002) by: Christopher Schmitt - New Riders Press - ISBN:
0-7357-1263-8
- HTML Your visual blueprint for
designing Web pagees with HTML, CSS, and XHTML
(2005) by: Whitehead and Russel - Wiley Publishing (Visal Press) -
ISBN: 0-7645-8331-X
3.) in the 'Short Term' (probably through the summer of 2007) I hope to
learn a LOT MORE about how my user - viewer community uses my web-pages
- via something called '
Google Analytics'
which enchances my ability to
obtain and view web-page & click & time statistics... One
of the main ways that Google does this is that I run a tiny little Java
Script in each of my ...html files: - here's the Java-code for your
reference (this assumes you know how to read Java-code.
- <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js"
type="text/javascript"> </script>
- <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct="UA-xxxx-x";
urchinTracker(); </script>
SO - Now - some will ask: WHY all this 'stuff' when you're in
Hong
Kong (Saturday, 28th April through Tuesday, 8th May, 2007) on
your 'supposed' holiday?
Why - because I have had a chance to
cuss and dis-cuss, at length, and in (all the gorey detail you are not
interested in) all this 'stuff' with Mr._Nick_Foxall, one of my oldest
and best friends - who does web-stuff for a 'living' (and he's pretty
good at it too). So my conversations with him have stimulated my
interest in getting this stuff done - something I've wanted to do for a
LONG (LONG) TIME - like I've wanted to do this for well over a year,
but I've been 'procrastinating'.
