And here are a few of mine ! These are just a couple of things that I've thought of while I've been tinkering away with my TGP building escapades. Your answers & opinions would be most gratefully received !
- At the moment my TGP is only half done - I have an index page, followed by a page the surfer clicks through to with an advert, followed by my TGP populated with images from remote thumbs. Am I best to upload the lot in it's current format, making changes as I go ? Or should you only ever upload a site that is 100% completed and ready to go ? (When I say mine is incomplete, I mean that it doesn't all look quite as tidy as I'd like it to yet, not incomplete as in chunks of text missing or anything
)
- 404 Traffic - what is it, where does it come from, what should I know about it, what should I be doing with it ?
- Is it possible to run more than 1 TGP (or website in general) from a single server ?
- Has anyone ever used a site like Dr.Html - it's a site that analyses your html pages and suggests how you could optimise them to make them load faster 'n' stuff. I'm thinking this is probably being uber-perfectionist, but then again the wider I can make my audience the better right ? (So if I can make the pages load quicker there's more chance people on low speed connections like dial up can still get in and spend money at my site ?)
- Server security - what should I be nagging my host about to make sure I don't get hit by exploits and other nasty things ?
- Traffic trades - I understand the basic concepts of how they work, but is there any sort of "etiquette" involved in the agreements you strike with other webmasters ? (Particularly when you are first starting out ?)
- Trackers & counters (such as Sextracker) - why do people use them ? Should I be interested in them ? Or are they just guff ?
- What is the average flight speed of an unladen swallow
(I don't really want the answer to this one !)
Okay take it away guys ! I haven't been able to speak to most of ya for a couple of days, therefore I haven't asked any dumb questions for a spell and tonight I'm feeling lucky
Cheers guys
