THINGS TO HAVE BEFORE CREATING A WEBSITE

What you need to start your website?

• a DOMAIN NAME
  
  The unique name that identifies an Internet site. It is the address of your Website.
  Ex. yourdomain.com, yourdomain.com.ph, yourdomain.net... etc.,
  
  Types of domain name:
  
• Top Level Domain [ TLD ] - .com, .net, .org, .name, .biz, .info
• Country Level Domain [ CLD ] - .ph, .com.ph, .kr, .net.ph and more.
  
  NOTE: Keep in mind that the domain name is not the only factor weighed by search engines when deciding your rank.
  
  

  The content on your web pages and your site's popularity (inbound links from other sites) is very important too. However, it certainly doesn't hurt to make sure your name is optimized for maximum results.
  

  Here are some more tips on choosing the best domain name:
  

  1) Don't register domain names that are too long and have too many syllables if you can help it. Yes, you can register names up to 63 characters long, but that doesn't mean you have to use all 63 characters.

  You want your name to be easy to remember. Not everyone will bookmark your page initially so try to think of something that can be easily remembered -- although I realize this may be tricky since a lot of names are taken these days.

  2) Use hyphens if your name is more than 3 words long (unless your name includes 3 short words). A name like carbuying.com doesn't really need a hyphen because it's readable the way it is.

  However a name like used-car-buying-scams.com looks better than usedcarbuyingscams.com since there are so many words in the name.

  3) Protect your name by registering multiple extensions (.net, .org, etc.) This deters people from copying your name. For example, if you own garden-tips-for-us.com you can also register garden-tips-for-us.net and any other extension that's available.

  You don't have to build a site on all the domains, but you can reserve the others to keep people (copycats) from registering them.

• a WEB HOST
  A server that stores your website files such as HTML files, images... etc.,
  
  Things to consider in choosing a web hosting plan:
  Your site...
  
  
• ideally suited for?
• disk space needed
• bandwidth or the monthly data transfer
• software support ... and more.

CARS OF 2009

The 10 Most Beatiful Cars for 2009 - Feature

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness." —John Keats

Beauty, indeed, is a powerful thing. Specific though it may be to the observer, to each one of us, beauty has an intoxicating power that affects our judgment, blinds us to shortcomings, and, in many cases, provokes lust.

10. 2009 LOTUS ELISE/2009 ARIEL ATOM Lotus Elise and the skeletal Ariel Atom are not necessarily beautiful in the traditional sense, the fact that they weigh next to nothing yet offer more power than many sport-utilities can make a math-minded car enthusiast drool at the sight of their unconventional bodies like Pavlov’s dogs in a bell factory.

9. 2009 AUDI R8R8, Audi has brought the world a car that performs like a true supercar and is sculpted in double-take sheetmetal.

8. 2009 PORSCHE CAYMANThe Boxster is bitchin’, but the Cayman is beautiful. Yes, they’re more or less the same car, but the Cayman proves there’s something about a well-rendered roof that takes a good-looking car and drops it off at the doorstep of gorgeous.


7. 2009 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS-CLASSMercedes-Benz CLS-class proves that sedans can be beautiful, too. Sure, the CLS cheats a bit, achieving its captivating looks by incorporating some coupe-derived design elements such as a low, chopped roof and slim windows, and this translates into a cramped rear seat that holds only two people—short people.


6. 2009 AUDI S5One of the most passionate designs ever to come out of Germany, the S5 wears a perfect balance of masculine and feminine elements, mixing a strong, assertive gaze with elegantly flowing fenders and a thick fuselage offset with delicate brightwork.

5. 2009 PONTIAC SOLSTICE COUPEThe Solstice coupe is easy on the eye from any angle, and at an estimated $25,000 when it hits the market early next year, it’ll be pretty easy on the wallet, too.

4. 2009 ASTON MARTIN V-8 VANTAGEThe V-8 Vantage is absolutely gorgeous. With the same long-hood, short-deck formula as that of its larger sibling, but with a slightly different styling edge in the form of large wheels and a ducktail tush, the V-8 Vantage offers a rarely achieved balance of beauty and sportiness, proving that classic GT proportions are indeed scalable.


3. 2009 MASERATI GRAN TURISMOThe GranTurismo succeeds not with ornamentation but through the emotional, almost whimsical curvature of its plus-size body. The fact that a raucous, Ferrari-derived V-8 resides under the long hood is just icing on one helluva beautiful cake.


2. 2009 ASTON MARTIN DBSCarbon fiber is the dominant material for the body of this quintessential gentleman’s grand tourer, and its brilliant, classic proportions are blessed with better curves than a Bond girl and a more chiseled jaw than Double-O himself.

1. 2009 ALFA ROMEO 8C COMPETIZIONEPurity of form—billowing fenders, teardrop windows, and almond headlamps, among other things—and the perfect positioning of details are what makes the 8C so sexy.

HARRY POTTER MOVIE 6: HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

Release Date: November 21, 2008
Director: David Yates
Screenwriter: Steve Kloves
Returning Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint

On August 7, 2006 (only three months after the Order of the Phoenix release date was confirmed), Warner Bros. announced that Half-Blood Prince will be released on Friday, November 21, 2008. This marks the fourth film in the Harry Potter series that will be released just before Thanksgiving. Starting with Prisoner of Azkaban in 2004, the movies have been on 18 month-long schedules (10 to 11 months of shooting, the rest spent on post-production), which is why HBP will hit theatres in the fall.


Production on Half-Blood Prince began in February 2007. At that time, artistic director Stuart Craig was designing the set for the scene in which a beloved character dies atop the astronomy tower. "It has to be impressive and beautiful and poignant," he said at the time. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint announced in March 2007 that they would return as Harry, Hermione, and Ron (respectively) for both Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.

In May 2007, David Yates announced he would return to direct Half-Blood Prince. He said, "I am doing 'Half-Blood Prince,' and I'm doing it because I love the [Potter] world, I love the characters. I think I have more business with this world and these characters. I've made a kind of tonal shift with the fifth film, which I want to continue and develop into the sixth film. And I can see the fifth story evolving into the sixth story in a really interesting way. So I'm on a journey with this material and this world, and I'm keen to complete it."

JK Rowling will take part in some of the creative process, according to Yates. He said that she "is actually going to come and join us for a few days and talk through the script. I'm really looking forward to having her around; she's grown up enough to say that the film is a separate entity to the book so she always leaves the director to get on with his job. Having said that, she has great ideas and insights."

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theatres July 17, 2009.

GOOGLE CHROME

I talked to my friend, Karl, this morning. He asked me if I want to have something new to put on my blog. So, of course I said yes and asked what it is and he said WEB BROWSER that will be launch today... the GOOGLE CHROME browser.

And for me to know about it... he gave me a link. It's a comic book drawn by Scott McCloud. Through the comic - the features of the Google Chrome browser is seen.


+ Google Chrome is Google’s open source browser project.
This will be based on the existing rendering engine Webkit.

+ The browser will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8
One aim of V8 was to speed up JavaScript performance in the browser, as it’s such an important component on the web today.

+ Google Chrome will use special tabs.
Instead of traditional tabs like those seen in Firefox, Chrome puts the tab buttons on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar.







+ The browser has an address bar with auto-completion features.
Called ’omnibox’, Google says it offers search suggestions, top pages you’ve visited, pages you didn’t visit but which are popular and more. [ just like firefox.. hehe ]

+ As a default homepage Chrome presents you with a kind of “speed dial” feature
[similar to Opera..]

On that page you will see your most visited webpages as 9 screenshot thumbnails. To the side, you will also see a couple of your recent searches and your recently bookmarked pages, as well as recently closed tabs.











+ Web apps can be launched in their own browser window without address bar and toolbar.

+ To fight malware and phishing attempts, Chrome is constantly downloading lists of harmful sites.
Google also promises that whatever runs in a tab is sandboxed so that it won’t affect your machine and can be safely closed.

Cool! right?.... very interesting project. 've got to have it.
