			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This video really speaks for itself, and I love it.  My buddy showed this to me (thanks Three-J).</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a0qMe7Z3EYg&#038;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a0qMe7Z3EYg&#038;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Lyrics:</strong><br />
Your site design is the first thing people see<br />
it should be reflective of you and the industry</p>
<p>easy to look at with a nice navigation<br />
when you can&#8217;t find what you want it causes frustration</p>
<p>a clear Call to action to increase the temptation<br />
use appealing graphics they create motivation</p>
<p>if you have animation<br />
use with moderation</p>
<p>cause search engines can&#8217;t index the information<br />
display the logos of all your associations</p>
<p>highlight your contact info that&#8217;s an obligation<br />
create a clean design you can use some decoration</p>
<p>but to try to prevent any client hesitation<br />
every page that they click should provide and explanation</p>
<p>should be easy to understand like having a conversation<br />
when you design the style go ahead and use your imagination</p>
<p>but make sure you use correct color combinations<br />
do some investigation, look at other organizations</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-55"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>but don&#8217;t duplicate or you might face a litigation<br />
design done, congratulations but it&#8217;s time to start construction<br />
follow these instructions when you move into production<br />
your photoshop functions then slice that design<br />
do your layout with divs make sure that it&#8217;s aligned<br />
please don&#8217;t use tables even though they work fine<br />
when it come to indexing they give searches a hard time<br />
make it easy for the spiders to crawl what you provide<br />
remove font type, font color and font size<br />
no background colors, keep your coding real neat,<br />
tag your look and feel on a separate style sheet<br />
better results with xml and css<br />
now you making progress, a lil closer to success<br />
describe your doctype so the browser can relate<br />
make sure you do it great or it won&#8217;t validate<br />
check in all browsers, I do it directly<br />
gotta make sure that it renders correctly<br />
some use IE, some others use Flock<br />
some use AOL, I use Firefox<br />
title everything including links and images<br />
don&#8217;t use italics, use emphasis<br />
don&#8217;t use bold, please use strong<br />
if you use bold that&#8217;s old and wrong<br />
when you use CSS, you page will load quicker<br />
client satisfied like they eating on a snicker<br />
they stuck on your page like you made it with a sticker<br />
and then they convert now that&#8217;s the real kicker<br />
make you a lil richer, your site a lil slicker<br />
design and code right man I hope you get the picture<br />
what I&#8217;m telling you is true man it should be a scripture<br />
if it&#8217;s built right you&#8217;ll be the pick of the litter<br />
everyone will want to follow you like twitter<br />
competition will get bitter and you&#8217;ll shine like glitter<br />
if you trying to grow your company will get bigger<br />
design and code right man can you get with it</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Long time, no post.  Sorry that we had to meet again with these circumstances, but it needs to be said!</p>
<p><strong>Reasons being:</strong><br />
- <em>Poorly </em>(notice the emphasis) made scripts.  Their SocialJenny (myspace clone) script is full of bugs that almost make the site unusable.  This is after making sure my server was compatible with the script, upgrading to their &#8220;Developer&#8221; version, and fixing some bugs myself.</p>
<p>- I was supposed to get 6 months of free &#8220;Support&#8221;.  I can only chuckle at that promise.  I was actually surprised that I got an email response by them though.  Oh but that was because I needed to pay another $50 to upgrade my script to the &#8220;DEVELOPER&#8221; version which you need to edit the files.  Why did you encrypt the files again?</p>
<p>- I only received responses back when it had to do with me paying them more money.  Silly isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>- I was banned on their forum for speaking up about their lack of support that was promised.  I understand that it may take a while to respond to an inquiry&#8230; but weeks at a time?  I can&#8217;t prove or show what I said to them because they deleted the posts (surprise surprise), but I did nothing to deserve a ban.</p>
<p><a href="http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/9089/stockscriptsie8.jpg" title="Bad Boy" target="_blank">I was a bad boy</a>.<br />
I&#8217;ve dealt with FREE scripts that have been more reliable than these.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not trying to be a nagging customer&#8230; in fact, it wasn&#8217;t even my money that was spent.  This post is to direct those users interested in buying a myspace or youtube clone script AWAY from StockScripts.com.  Just trying to help out all your smart consumers <img src='http://www.kyleeggleston.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

		<title>Linking to Sites on the same Server &#8211; A Big No No</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of my first SEO mistakes that made a few years back, and its effects were nothing but detrimental (that means <strong>bad</strong>).  If you have more than one website hosted on the same server and link to each one of those websites from each one of your websites, Google will pull a red flag up after seeing that each outbound link originates from the same server IP.  You might say that if you assign a different IP to each account (assuming you have a reseller account), you&#8217;ll be in the clear.  Google looks at the <a href="http://www.searchguild.com/tpage17337-0.html">C-Block</a> of  your server IP.  So if your reseller account has the IP address of 205.10.123.01, your C-Block is 123.  These numbers cannot be individually assigned to your different sites on the server.  Thus, impossible to avoid this penalty that Google scouts for.</p>
<p>So, what to do?  Well, don&#8217;t do it <img src='http://www.kyleeggleston.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  Get each one of your site&#8217;s hosted on a completely unique server.  I personally love using <a href="/bluehost.php" title="BlueHost.com" target="_blank">BlueHost</a>&#8216;s shared accounts rather than operating my own Dedicated or VPS server.  This way, you&#8217;re able to link to your other websites without holding a potential threat to your sites.  You also don&#8217;t have the hassle of running and maintaining your own server.</p>
