You Are a Link Blogger!

Your blog is more about cool links than thoughtful posts. Better to be entertaining and brief than longwinded and boring!

Web 2.0 for Designers

Enter Web 2.0, a vision of the Web in which information is broken up into "microcontent" units that can be distributed over dozens of domains. The Web of documents has morphed into a Web of data. We are no longer just looking to the same old sources for information. Now we're looking to a new set of tools to aggregate and remix microcontent in new and useful ways.

...

There are six trends that characterize Web 2.0 for designers.

...

1. Writing semantic markup (transition to everything XML)
2. Providing Web services (moving away from place)
3. Remixing content (about when and what, not who or why)
4. Emergent navigation and relevance (users are in control)
5. Adding metadata over time (communities building social information)
6. Shift to programming (separation of structure and style)

37 Signals says:

Google is essentially clicking every link on the page -- including links like "delete this" or "cancel that." And to make matters worse, Google ignores the Javascript confirmations. So, if you have a "Are you sure you want to delete this?" Javascript confirmation behind that "delete" link, Google ignores it and performs the action anyway.

We discovered this yesterday when a few people were reporting that their Backpack pages were "disappearing." We were stumped until we dug a little deeper and discovered this Web Accelerator behavior.

Google Sitemaps is a new experiment by Google. Web site owners can place an xml-formatted sitemap on their webserver and notify Google.

By placing a Sitemap-formatted file on your webserver, you enable our crawlers to find out what pages are present and which have recently changed, and to crawl your site accordingly.

My Sitemaps page will show information about downloading and processing of your sitemap by Google.

Google also offer Sitemap Generator, an open source client in Python to create sitemaps. Sitemap Generator can create sitemaps from URL lists, webserver directories, or from access logs and notify Google.

Create a new index template with the following code: <$MTEntryPermalink$> <$MTEntryModifiedDate format="%Y-%m-%d"$> .

Save and build the file.

The above code creates a Google sitemap file containing individual entry links. If you want category archives links and date-based archives links you can add them easily using MT Template tags. Your sitemap file may not be larger than 10MB.

Now you can submit your sitemap to Google through your Sitemaps account or using an HTTP request to the following URL: http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http://url_of_your_/sitemap.xml

There are two more tags you can put inside : changefreq (how frequently the content is likely to change) and priority (priority of the page relative to other pages on the site).

Example:
daily
0.3.
