			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The webmaster community seems a little rattled at the moment, as Google updates their Pagerank Algorithm.  If you&#8217;re not in the wave of panic or elation, you&#8217;ll see that it&#8217;s almost like watching a hen house or something.  A small disturbance can set off a wave of unjustified commotion that is really based on a very unimportant factor in the web business.  Pagerank!</p>
<p>Google Pagerank is a system that determines how &#8220;important&#8221; ones website truly is.  For example Amazon.com is a 9 or 10 and of course Google is always a 10.  But does having a high Pagerank do anything practical?  No, only quality content can turn visitors into sales or conversions.  The only thing Pagerank is good fr is selling links, it&#8217;s that simple.</p>
<p>So, if you want to get into that whole &#8220;my Pagerank is bigger than yours&#8221; contest, have fun!  I&#8217;m going to keep designing websites with any thought about it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the weekend I finished up the design template for a clients website!  And, in doing so I really wanted to think outside of the &#8220;box&#8221; that I&#8217;m comfortable with.  Normally I prefer minimal, clean, simple styles when it comes to the site I design, or maybe I follow the less is more approach.  But, my last project was for a local musician and my designs may be a little too toned down for a local artist.  His music isn&#8217;t plain jane, and neither is his website since I added a fun background to the design by importing a pattern into Photoshop.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how I did it:</p>
<ol>
<li>It&#8217;s a good idea to start out with only the default patterns loaded. To do this, switch to the paint bucket tool (G).</li>
<li>Set the options bar to fill with a pattern, click the arrow next to the pattern preview, click the arrow on the pattern palette, and choose Reset Patterns from the menu.</li>
<li> Your pattern palette will have the 10 default patterns in it.</li>
<li>To add your own, open the pattern you want to add and select all (Ctrl-A), or make a selection from an image with the rectangular marquee tool.</li>
<li> Choose Edit > Define Pattern</li>
<li>Type a name for your new pattern in the dialog box that appears and click OK.</li>
<li> Now check the pattern palette and you will see your custom pattern at the end of the list.</li>
<li>Repeat steps 4-6 for all the patterns you wish to add. </li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who are familiar with Lightbox, you&#8217;ve probably been disappointed by its lacking a print option in it&#8217;s script.  Until now that is!  I found a great new addition to the script at <a href="http://sandbox.tse-webdesign.be/lightbox-print/">Sandbox</a>.  Now you can place all sorts of info in an image file and your visitors can do more than just look at the pretty pictures.  They can print and share, perfect for menus and the like.</p>
<p>I highly recommend this new addition to Lightbox!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you&#8217;re looking at web hosting options, what&#8217;s your bottom line?  Features?  Email accounts?  Server types?  I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s probably price.  Most hosting companies have fairly similar features; cgi-bin&#8217;s, MYSQL databases, multiple email accounts, and admin panels with install central panels for blogs.</p>
<p>So, why would you pay up to $20 a month for almost identical features as as a company who only charges $3.88 a month?  If you&#8217;re looking for a reliable web host, at a great price visit <a href="http://www.powweb.com/join/index.bml?AffID=581553">POWWEB</a> for $3.88 a month web hosting with all the bells and whistles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, so you&#8217;re starting up a new website, and you&#8217;ve found a great behind the scenes shopping cart that can build the majority of your website pages for you based on a product database file.  Sounds great, right?</p>
<p>Well, one one hand it is.  You get a website for half the work.  On the other hand, your website is going to look just like every other website who uses that particular shopping cart on their websites!</p>
<p>Ok, maybe that&#8217;s a bit over the top on the fear factor.  Most shopping cart companies provide multiple templates, so there is some variety.  But, if you&#8217;re going to use a prefab template hire a web designer to customize the stock templates.  Customizing the cookie cutter template files will make your website pop a bit more and help your website to stand out in a sea of sites that use the same cart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately I&#8217;ve been lightly advertising my web design services at MT Spaces, and I&#8217;ve spoken to quite a few perspective clients who&#8217;ve been suckered into using an all in one company.  You know the ones I&#8217;m talking about; companies who will register a domain name for you, host your site, and let you choose from one of their design templates.  Those companies say it&#8217;s all about ease of use, but from what I&#8217;ve seen it&#8217;s all about increasing sales.</p>
<p>By adding on a bunch of web design and hosting charges to existing customers, companies who usually peddle accounting software can now get into the web design game.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what they get:</p>
<ul>
<li>Well, first an foremost is the almighty dollar.  Their web development plans usually aren&#8217;t cheap for what you get.</li>
<li>Second is a free plug on your website!  Usually all in ones find a way to just tack your website name in the address bar after their URL.  A cheesy practice</li>
<li>Third is control over your website.  Since they own your domain, host your site, and have all the design code you can never go anywhere else without starting from scratch.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, what I recommend to everyone is to keep it separate!  Register your domain, design your website, and find hosting with three different companies.  That way they all work for you.</p>
