It is a satire for all the pompous people that take CS as life or death and post video of their “awesomeness.” You can the first Tips and Etiquette here: www.youtube.com

INPUT – creates a form field (button, input box, checkbox, etc.), whose contents can be changed or activated by the user. The element has no ending tag. INPUT element must be inside the FORM element.

NAME – defines the name used when transferring the contents of the form to the server. This attribute is required for most types (attribute TYPE – look below) of INPUT element and is commonly used to identify the field or group of fields related logically.

TYPE – specifies the type of field for inputting data. By default it is “text”. Possible values: text, textarea, file, password, checkbox, radio, submit, image, reset, hidden, button.

VALUE – defines text titles for the fields of any type, including buttons. For such fields as the checkbox or radio, will return to the value specified in VALUE attribute.
CHECKED – indicates that the checkbox and/or radio field types (see above attribute TYPE) are activated.
SIZE – determines the field size in characters. For example, to define a field with the apparent width of 24 characters, you must specify the SIZE = “24″.
MAXLENGTH – defines the maximum number of characters that you can enter in the text box. It may be greater than the number of characters specified in the attribute SIZE. The default number of characters is not limited.
SRC – specifies the URL-address of the image used in the creation of graphical buttons. Used in conjunction with attribute TYPE = “image”.
ALIGN – determines the way of vertical alignment for the image. Used in conjunction with attribute TYPE = “image”. Completely analogous to attribute ALIGN of IMG element. The default value is ‘bottom’.
ACCEPT – specifies the type of file. Used only in conjunction with the parameter TYPE = “file”. The value is a MIME-type.

Flash movies can be a great thing. They can help catch eyes that
are otherwise bored with static looking pages, and they can help
tell a story better than plain text. However the use of flash
must be tempered with the ability to rank in search engines.
This article describes some of the considerations and
recommendations when using flash on a website.

Disney does it. And so does Oprah. Even my favorite pizza place
does it. That is embed their primary navigation and important
content inside a flash movie. In fact in all these cases, a good
part of the sites home page is flash, rendering that section of
the page invisible to search engine crawlers.

Granted these are extreme cases of sites which use flash
extensively, but there are other cases where even a little flash
can be improperly used. There are also cases where flash is not
only appropriate, it is recommended. The question then becomes
how to best use flash without affecting search engine rankings.

Much like the early settlers of the Wild Wild West we are the
frontiersman (and women) of a new community – the World Wide Web
community (notice the WWW analogy) – which has seen its birth in
the past couple decades and has really experienced its growth
happen in the last 10 years or so.

And throughout that time there have been many ways to display a
website and its content. Some were more successful than others.
But there is one aspect of web development which has been hotly
contested between designers of websites and those who position
them. That is the use of Flash.

Flash has been around for some time now and while it is pretty
(for lack of a better word) it can seriously hinder a websites
ability to position well in the search engines. This is because
most search crawlers can not see nor effectively index flash or
its contents. Therefore anything contained within the flash,
including page content or more importantly site navigation, is
invisible to them.

Yet flash does have it’s good points as well. As I mentioned
above, it can turn an otherwise bland looking site into
something unique and refreshing. So the question becomes – where
does one balance the need for search engine indexability with
the need for impressing customers?

Well here’s a rule of thumb for you – less is better.

Less flash occupying the page is better, as well as having as
little content embedded within it as possible. Further, where
the flash appears on the page can have an impact on its ability
to deliver the intended message.

Let’s have a quick survey – how many of you, upon coming to a
site, tune out the top 1/5 of the page, and even a couple inches
on the right of the page – especially if you see flashing or
movement?

Just as I suspected, most of you. I do it too. And we do this
because these are the places we typically see banner ads,
therefore we associate that space on many sites with advertising
and tune it out.

But there are cases when sites place important messages, via
flash, in these locations. But if many people tune out these
locations, they are also tuning out that important message.
Hence the reason the flash doesn’t do so well on the page.

So there’s tip number one: Don’t place your flash where it will
be ignored – namely those spots on the page normally associated
with advertising.

My second flash tip – don’ t take up most of the screen with it.
Keep the screen real estate it occupies to less than ½ the
screen, preferably on the left side. There are many reasons for
this:

Too often, as people are orienting themselves to the page, their
eyes scan the page and are all over it for a few seconds, and
then fixate on the top left of the page. If you have a flash
movie running (and especially if its one without controls) they
have missed a few seconds of that message. And we all know what
good a message is that’s incomplete?

Another reason for minimizing flash usage: While more and more
people are adopting broadband every day, still close to half of
the US uses dial up. Which means everything takes longer to
load. And if these users are waiting for a flash movie to load,
they could navigate away from your site in frustration because
the page is taking so long to load.

Some other recommendations:

Don’t use the flash to tell the story, use it to enhance the
story. If you are trying to sell a product, leave the important
information in the HTML of the page, but use the flash to
emphasize the product by either displaying it, or pointing out
the benefits. your flash should be complementary and not too
overwhelming.

Finally, did you know you can also externalize the code required
to display the flash? This is something that can help improve
page load times which could improve spiderability.

Using a technique similar to one I described in the
externalizing JavaScript article, you can externalize the code
used to render the flash. You can use the same code used to
create a drop down box via JavaScript to externalize the flash
code (using the document.write code and embedding the HTML
needed to display the flash there).

As you can see, based on this article, is that flash isn’t all
that bad, provided its used properly. That means it shouldn’t be
too overpowering or occupy too much of the page. It should be
complementary to the message the page is intending to give, and
should be located in places that people will look at, and not in
places normally associated with advertising.

If you follow these simple rules, your flash can become an
essential selling point to your site. One which could provide
your customers the little push they need to move from browsers
to buyers

Create a template for IE 

While there are certainly plenty of internet browsers out there, a free blog template designed for the Internet Explorer is still useful. More than half of the total number of internet users use IE as their main browser; so making your template IE-friendly will help you reach to more users. 

The browser, though, is notorious for its less-then-great support for the standards used by CSS and HTML. What you can do is to use a special style sheet and include an “IE” tag at your page’s head. But remember to target each version alone. For instance, use “IE 6” for version 6 of the browser or “IE7” for the seventh. 

Consider a reset 

Almost all browsers have default values when it comes to the padding and margin. So to solve this problem, consider using a CSS reset for your free blog template. 

Use an editor 

If you’re having trouble configuring your CSS codes, there are expert CSS editors that can help you with your problem. Advanced CSS editors combined with a number of useful plug-ins for better control on tweaks and configurations are excellent choices. 

Consider making your posts printable 

Adding a print function in your CSS style sheet is tremendously useful for several of your readers. Furthermore, by incorporating such function, your readers can easily print out a page they particularly like. You can even explore other media when configuring your CSS. Since users are likely using different gadgets, you can target phones and other devices. 

Use easily understandable code 

Unless you’re an expert programmer, understandable codes in your CSS can help beginners, who are also going to use your free blog template. Simple codes can also be customized easily without going through several severely complicated processes. Moreover, don’t forget to consider compressing your codes before publishing the template for your site; this will help you conserve bits.
