I don’t know about you but some of us (me for example) are overwhelmed at even the mere thought of designing a website. Luckily, I managed to find lots of articles with helpful hints for newbies like me.

The internet is our friend, Yes?

Here are just 9 tips I have collected.

1: Fast Loading web site designs- This is the number 1 tip that every web designer should follow. There’s no point in designing a website that looks great if people aren’t going to see it. If your site takes too long to load most people will move on. You will want your site to take no more than 15 seconds to load. Face it, people are impatient.

2: Install an analytics package- Stats collected in these programs are So important. They let you know who’s visiting your site, where they are coming from, the keywords they use,  which pages are getting the most visitors and more.

3: Make sure to create a header or logo that is eye catching- You will want your site to be memorable and unique

4: Use CSS (cascading style sheets)- CSS sheets make it easier to change the design of your site later on and keep your information intact. CSS also keeps code cleaner and makes it easier for search engine spiders to crawl your site.

5: Plenty of text- Make sure you have enough text and content on your site that search engines and visitors will know what your site is about. Articles and/or blog entries are always a good idea.

6: Fonts- Use fonts that are easy for your visitors to read. Stick with the basics.

7: Website structure- Make your website user friendly. The key to the success of your website’s structure is the ease with which your visitors can navigate the site. A general rule of thumb is that it should take no more than three clicks for a visitor to find what they are looking for. Also make sure your website structure is expandable for new information down the road.

8: Most important on top- Keep the most important information on the top half of your page. This is especially necessary on your homepage where first impressions are so vital. You don’t want visitors to have to scroll down the page to find your best ideas or information.

9: Must haves- You must include a contact page and an ‘About Us’ page at the very least. Major search engines expect legitimate sites to have these. You don’t want to end up being tossed into the list of spam sites.

Remember to be creative and have fun in designing your site this is where your online presence will live so make sure it reflects your own colors and thoughts.

I don’t know about you guys but this riddle has always bugged me.

Why? Because being the way I am, I want an answer

so I looked it up and found these on line:

Here’s Carrolls answer:”Enquiries have been so often addressed to me, as to whether any answer to the Hatter’s Riddle can be imagined, that I may as well put on record here what seems to me to be a fairly appropriate answer, viz: `Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!’ This, however, is merely an afterthought; the Riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all.”

• Because the notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes. (Puzzle maven Sam Loyd, 1914)
• Because Poe wrote on both. (Loyd again)
• Because there is a B in both and an N in neither. (Get it? Aldous Huxley, 1928)
• Because it slopes with a flap. (Cyril Pearson, undated)
• Because they both have Quills

Ok, then…I am satisfied.

Any other answers out there?

This may be old news to some of you, If so… Ok,

but I wasn’t around yet in the 60’s, so I hadn’t heard this rumor until I stumbled across it on the God blessed internet.

Being a Beatles fan ( McCartney my fav. ) and also being that I tend to become facinated with conspiracy theories-I ended up pouring over countless sites and YouTube vids dedicated to the ‘Paul is Dead’ theory. For days and days I wrapped myself up in this horrific ( Yes, Horrific! ) bit of gossip.

I looked over all the Beatles’ album clues, the lyric clues, the incriminating pre-’66 vs. post-’66 photos of Paul and I must admit that these sites can be Terrifyingly convincing. I thought I had Never heard anything more absurd than this ‘Paul is dead’ rumor….but a few websites and YouTube videos later I am almost in tears. I am starting to buy in! I am starting to think to myself, ’ My God! It could be true!’

There are, no doubt, obvious *clues* on many albums- in the pictures and in the lyrics (turn me on dead man). 

It seems to me that some of these strange hints had to be intentionally placed on the albums. I’m not sure that they were placed there as clues to tell us that our Beloved Paul McCartney died. Could be The Beatles were just playing with the rumor…after all, they were very clever. Sure didn’t hurt album sales, in fact, It most likely boost album sales. Great marketing scheme-Eh?

Well, as convincing as these ‘Paul is Dead’ websites are-There are also lots of ‘Paul is Alive’ and ‘Paul’s not Dead’ websites that are equally convincing ( Thank The Good Lord!)

So, why is it that these conspiracy theories become so intriguing so absorbing?

Why are we So drawn to secrets, clues, mysteries? ~ Hmmm…That’s another mystery.

Is Paul McCartney dead? Was he replaced by a look alike named Billy?

I don’t know…furthermore, I don’t think I want to know. Sometimes ignorance Is bliss!

Long live Paul McCartney…(or Billy or William…or…whoever he is)
