Let Your Site Go Mobile!

Do you have a favorite site? Or even better, do you own a site yourself?

As an online visitor or website owner, you could only view it through your pc or laptop online.

But that is all in the past. Now, you can visit your favorite website anytime or check your very own website anywhere. How? By going mobile!!

If your phone can access the web, you can check the latest changes on your site with the browser on your phone. But that is not all there is to it.

If you have a website, you can let it go mobile!

How? There are lots of ways. You could have someone do it for you or you could make it yourself.

One good place where you can build your mobile site for free would be at widgetbox. There is no cost Only a small ad will be displayed on your site. Plus, if you become a premium member, the ad on your site will no longer be there.

This is just one of the options you have. So if you want to show your site to your friends or family, create a mobile website. Show it to them anytime and anywhere on your phone and have them be astounded with your great website.

Meta Tag Your Site

In designing a website, you will work with a lot of tags such as the Meta tags.

Examples of Meta tags that you should consider placing in your website are:

meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
meta name="keywords" content="keyword,keyword,keyword"
meta name="description" content="A short summary about what the site is about"
meta name="robots" content="Index,Follow"

Here is a short description for the Meta tags:
  1. The content specifies the information for that meta tag.
  2. The keywords attribute of the tag lists the keywords for your site. When users type in a word in the search engine, your site may appear on the search results if the word used are these keywords.
  3. The description attribute is used by search engines as the summary that will be shown below your link in the search results.
  4. The robots attribute determines which pages of your website the search engines can crawl in.

Whether the website is just for fun or for business, take your time in finishing it. Meta tag it. Optimize it. Create elegant designs. And lastly, add useful stuff for your visitors.

Like Button

As you browse through countless website, you may have seen this button:



If you have, then you may have recognized that this button is made from Facebook with the small "f" icon beside it. The reason why I posted this is because as I visited one of my favorite websites, I happened to find this icon on their website.

With the button, you can get visitors of your website to "like" your site and share it to their friends on Facebook.

If you are interested, you can also get it for your website by going here:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like
This is the link on the Facebook developers page where you can create your own like button for your website.

You will also find other plugins at the site such as a comments plugin, which I have also tried out on my website at:
