You can list your site on google search engines by going to the link below: Submit yur Page to google Once you've done that, your website will probably be listed and will be listed on other search engines as well. -------------------- 73|-| 1|\|\/1|\|<1|3|_3 |30063y|\/|4|\| AHEM: Chance Forums! -Reality Corp.

Maybe, someone put it in there for you... Or maybe it just happened that way,...oh well. You're welcome Archmage Alex. Also, I noticed that on your site, the links to the left are very hard to see. It would be good if you had made them a slightly darker color.

Oh, by the way, where do you host your site? Geocities? Because I could never get google to list my geocities page even months after I'd submitted the URL. I thought it had something to do with geocities not allowing the bot to list free sites or something... -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

My uncle, who is a computer engineer, talked about some kind of "Threads" that you put between the lines in HTML, that can make your page show up faster on searches. -------------------- MDNZZZ ZMMMBIS WBLOONZ 33111-CRUSADER-4849 Posts: 662 | Registered: Friday, September 13 2002 07:00 |

In between the head tags: <meta name="keywords" content="WHATEVER BLAH THAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR WEBSITE"> The tag is to enlist the keywords thingy. -------------------- 73|-| 1|\|\/1|\|<1|3|_3 |30063y|\/|4|\| AHEM: Chance Forums! -Reality Corp. Posts: 1307 | Registered: Tuesday, May 7 2002 07:00 |

I am trying to make custom buttons to put on the sidebar, but when I convert to jpeg it smears my images. Is there a way to make an image already in jpeg format instead of converting it into jpeg? -------------------- Need a pet? Need cheap labor? Buy a Moose! Take the Personality Test!

JPEG is a terrible format for text.

No, don't use PNG. It's a good format, to be sure, but you'll get hundreds of emails whining about how they can't see your images. It's not worth the trouble. -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Appearantly gif doesn't like the color grey. How do people manage to get images (with or without text) on the internet without it going funny? -------------------- Need a pet? Need cheap labor?

quote:IE supports PNG, as in it can display it. I always use PNG, never get any annoying e-mails. And if I did, I'd just delete them since they need to get a better browser. Get PNG, it's compact and doesn't loose quality with conversion. -------------------- CMS for PHP/MySQL Supporting Webservers The Automated Ad-Free Horizontal-Scrollbar-Proof Blades of Avernum Script Archive Posts: 612 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |

I hate those meta tags since many websites put tons of junk in the tags and can fool some search engines to list them when they have almost no relevance to the intended query.
