If I registered a pair of available domains with relevant, localized keywords and had them redirect to or mirror my current business’ domain- would that be a waste of time or would I see a return on this worth my -$50/yr?

I don’t know much about it, that’s why I asked.

Unless you have experience in this, buying domains speculatively isn’t the easiest thing to do. You will be better putting up a website at the keyword domains, with affiliate links or a developed website to maximise the SEO potential.

for an assignment, i need to run two queries and display the information in an indexed and assoc. array (query 1 for indexed, and query2 for assoc.). However, we get EC if we use the same query for both outputs. The teacher said "hint, research how to use mysql_data_seek"… got any ideas?

Here’s what i got so far:

<?php
    $all = $connection->runQuery("SHOW TABLE STATUS;");
    $numrows = $all[0]['Rows'];
    $numcols = count($connection->runQuery("SHOW COLUMNS FROM flightsessions;"));
    
    $indexed = $connection->runQuery("SELECT * FROM flightsessions;");
    
    echo "Your query returned " . $numrows . " rows and " . $numcols . " fields:<br /><br />";
    
    echo "<h2>Indexed Array:</h2>
    <table width='100%' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='5'>
        <tr class='header'>
            <td class='border'>Flight Date:</td>
            <td class='border'>Flight Time:</td>
            <td class='border'>Origin:</td>
            <td class='border'>Destination:</td>
            <td class='border'>Weather:</td>
            <td class='border'>Winds:</td>
            <td class='border'>Temp:</td>
        </tr>";    
    foreach ($indexed as $thisflight)
    {
        echo "
        <tr class='content'>
            <td class='border'>" . $thisflight['flight_date'] . "</td>
            <td class='border'>" . $thisflight['flight_time'] . "</td>
            <td class='border'>" . $thisflight['origin'] . "</td>
            <td class='border'>" . $thisflight['destination'] . "</td>
            <td class='border'>" . $thisflight['weather'] . "</td>
            <td class='border'>" . $thisflight['winds'] . "</td>
            <td class='border'>" . $thisflight['temp'] . "</td>
        </tr>";
    }
    echo "</table>";
        
?>

So I have a website with a fairly popular forum and I run advertising with adsense on all of the different sections.

I keep a tight lockdown on nudity/porn so that I won’t get kicked off adsense but that’s actually starting to kill the site. Some members are moving to alternative websites where there’s a looser attitude and posting up porn is allowed in many of the sections.

My thought to keep members happy is to create a new forum that would be private so guests can’t even see it and the also create a different skin for it with no advertising at all. That way I can keep the adsense off the forum with the porn part and since I don’t give the google crawler any access other than guest, they should never even see it.

Hey, I usually like to read some of the other forums and just noticed this one could be useful as well. I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with college newspaper websites, but currently I’m the web editor of the GCSU colonnade, if you search for gcsunade.com you can look at it. It’s hosted by College Publisher, basically we can use it as a free content management system while they collect ad revenue. I’m slowly learning more about alternatives such as word press and drupal. I’m just curious as to if any of you have experience with this stuff and what insight you may have. I’m currently considering hooking up with copress to help us transfer to a more independent solution, college publisher is typically very restrictive in site design.

I’m doing a clean install on all of my machines and was thinking about the best way to set up my folder hierarchies.

Any of you put some serious thought into this? As I’m growing and outsourcing to other designers I need to keep a method to this and stick with it for the long run.

I just have a drive for web stuff.. w:

Setup like this:

w:/clients/<client-name>

Each client folder has "/final", "/ideas", and "/resources" (bits of scripts, bits of graphics/icons, etc)

How does one have a simple HTML page in an e-mail display correctly?

I tried just putting the code into the body of the message, and I just got the code sent to me.

This page will only display an image and some text above and below that.

Thanks!

how are you sending it out? with php you need to include the right readers to format as html

Dont send as "plain text" on your mailing client

Should be an option for plain text, html or both.

Hey,
So I just started a forum. I don’t know much about them myself other than they are a great way to communicate between a large group of people and build a community. My forum really doesn’t get much activity other than spammers, which isn’t helping. I think the forum itself has a good cause, it’s trying to attract gaming activists and like minded gamers. I just don’t know how to draw in more traffic. Any suggestions?

there was some dude on here with a website like theofftopic or something.
