Moving on from last week’s versatile Green, today we’re taking a look at the color Orange and its use on the web and in logos. Orange is combination of red and yellow, a warm vibrant color with connotations of energy and flamboyance. It’s less intense or aggressive than red but can be used in a similar fashion to grab attention and highlight important areas of a design.
Orange designs often convey a sense of friendliness and in the right hands can maintain seriousness and professionalism. On the downside, orange is sometimes associated with cheapness thanks to companies such as Easyjet which plaster all of their products and services in bright orange. In general though, it’s a great color to attract attention without offending or stopping anyone in their tracks.
Orange as a citrus fruit conveys thoughts of summer, sun, vitamin C and health. It also has connotations of autumn and change; autumn leaves changing from green to orange to brown. Depending on your audience you might choose a very bright yellow-orange or a more autumnal orange-brown.

When your site or application grows beyond what can be supported with shared or even VPS hosting, perhaps it’s time to look for a dedicated server. Countless companies provide dedicated hosting, and the features of their offerings can be difficult to untangle.

Most onlinesenior dating services require that you provide a short header message (opening line) that shows up under your username when people do searches. Some people don't know what to put here and end up with generic headers like.

Hi All,

I have a website up that is an ecommerce site. The programmer I used to create the site was a great coder but not the best designer. I am now working with a web designer who is adding a fresh new design to the site but I'm not convinced of his coding abilities as there have been more than several mistakes (quite a lot actually) made that I have caught in my testing.

I am not skilled in coding whatsoever and unfortunately, I don't even have a basic understanding of it so please excuse the potential stupidity of the following query. My question is this.......If everything tests okay on the test site and all the functions are working properly, does that mean that the code is good and solid OR is there such a thing as coding in a way that it holds together only temporarily? I don't really understand the concept of why coding fails in the first place. Basically I'm wanting to know the answer to this question so that I can either relax when it's finally uploaded to my site (or not relax depending on the feedback I get here).

We're getting close to completion and I'm starting to freak about the upload. I'm petrified that there might be a potential of it messing up my site in any way :eek2:.

Thanks so much in advance.

So here is the problem...Google is doing some really odd indexing with my site.

My company did a content rewrite so that we can target some relevant keywords. It took a while for Google to actually index it (according to the cache date) and even took days to update the cache (e.g. last cache date was Jan 23, but it just showed up today).

I check the cache date to see if Google finally got our new content, which it had, but it apparently has skipped over one of my pages. (http://thewebsquad.com/01_about.php). it is not even indexed, but has almost 100 links point to the page. However, (this is where it gets odd) Google indexed the www version of the same page, but there are no links pointing to that page.

Any insights?

The theory behind the Six Degrees of Separation is that all people on earth can be connected together in as little as six steps.
The concept was made fun in the 1990’s, with the creation of The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (oracleofbacon.org) – which is a website that documents how nearly all actors in Hollywood can be connected to Kevin Bacon through no more than six people. I played with the site earlier today and the Hollywood actors and actresses I tested all connected to Kevin Bacon in only two steps… That was interesting. Even Lucille Ball connected to Kevin Bacon in only two steps.
Now, I know what you might be thinking at this juncture… That sounds fun and interesting, but what does that have to do with Internet Marketing?
Great question.
Undertakers and Wedding Planners know something that most people do not realize. With a few exceptions like Michael Jackson and Billy Mayes, most people will only have up to 300 people attend their wake or wedding. As a result, the average undertaker and wedding planner will only bring 300 chairs to the festivities.
That’s neat… But what does this have to do with Internet Marketing?
Great question.
If you really have 300 friends and you can tell them about your business, and your 300 friends share your business message with their 300 friends, then in very short order, you will have communicated your business’ sales message to 90,000 people!

I am trying to help my friend with her computer. It keeps freezing at random times. It might work for 20 min or 2 days, but then it will freeze and require a hard reboot.

I have run virus scans and adware scans, removed some junk, quarantined a couple of viruses. used avira and avast. I have also used Auslogics Boostspeed to remove unused programs, remove startup programs, clean junk files, defragmented the harddrive and registry.

I have not tried reformatting because we don't have recover disks.

the computer had a new motherboard put in less than a year ago, and had the ram upgraded (2 gb).

I am out of ideas. any programs out there that will look for problems?
Thanks.

I've been thinking about Test Driven Design and I'm wondering if there is any real point to writing tests for myself? Why should I follow TDD? Or why should I skip it?
