A genuine pleasure to do and to complete.

OK. So today I am trying to be good and positive and productive.  My work to-do list is crazy long and my one for the house is not much better:

• Finish shopping for anniversary present/card/paper etc for Ricardo - it is 5 years on Saturday
• Sort out Dad's present - his 60th is on Saturday also!
• Clean the house.  It is a complete hole.
• Sort out my craft corner - it is out of hand and no crafting is getting done there.
• Study, study and more study.  I have to catch up on the reading and start writing my last essay.  I have a day school on 10th May (first one I am attending - I thought it was about time).
• Work on my new website
• Tackle the laundry / ironing mountain
• Pick up dry cleaning ready for the wedding on Sunday (we have had A LOT on lately)
• Buy some food for us to eat - our cupboards are pretty bare (and a bit grimey... need to clean house pronto)
• Watch my stories

Phew.  Funny how no amount of reading Lifehacker or Unclutterer actually makes this list go down.  By the way, in case you were wondering what GTD means, read this.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to separate the content from presentation.

If you don't understand CSS, research CSS - as it is a beneficial skill. To convince you here are some of the advantages are well worth the time invested in learning it.

By taking styles out of the HTML and putting it into an attached style sheet (.css extension), you can reduce the overall amount of code in your web pages. Pages with less code have smaller file sizes and Google prefers pages with smaller file sizes (many other search engines do too).

CSS isn’t always easy to deal with. What it comes down to is your skill set and experience, CSS coding can sometimes become a nightmare. Depending on your skills and your experience, CSS coding can sometimes become a nightmare. An easy way to minimize the complexity of the code is as useful CSS attributes and properties you can use to create a semantically correct markup.

Also included are some basic techniques that can probably be use while you are developing.

1. After you have a design, start with a blank page of content
2. Organise your CSS
3. Keep containers, properties, CSS hacks and selectors to a minimum.
4. Change capitalisation using CSS.
5. Element names in selectors are case sensitive
6. Use the power of selectors
7. Be careful when styling links if you’re using anchors
8. Avoid applying padding/borders and a fixed width to an element
9. Experiment with CSS
10. Learn from others

It is basically embedding an advertisement in a web page in the form of a banner, intended to attract traffic to a website by linking them to the web site of the advertiser. The banner usually displays the logo and image of the advertiser. Skyscraper advertising is similar to banner ads, with the banners being vertical and tall. They are often called skyscraper banners.

In the field of internet marketing, these forms of advertising are extensively used, although their popularity has slightly declined due to other new online tools like pay per click and RSS advertising. However, it still is very popular and is used in most e-commerce sites. But because of its common usage, if the banner is not attractive and good enough, it goes unnoticed.

Online Earth Day Promo a Web 2.0 Success

IdeaStar client TCP Inc. of Aurora, OH, celebrated Earth Day 2008 with an online video event produced by the IdeaStar Spinfield team. The manufacturer of energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs ( CFLs ) presented illumiNation, CFL Education for a Better Tomorrow four times throughout the day. Many viewers pre-registered to watch the 45-minute event focusing on CFL facts, myths, and misconceptions.

“The results exceeded my expectations,” Michelle Heffner, TCP E-Business manager, said. Prior to the Earth Day event, TCP sent out e-mails to notify its sales reps, utility contacts, consumers, and other industry professionals. Registrations continued to come in throughout Earth Day, for a total of 202 – although registration was not needed to view the video.

Approximately 400 people viewed the video during Earth Day. There were 318 visitors from the U.S., 50 from Canada, a dozen from Europe, and several visits from China, Turkey, Brazil, Hong Kong, India, South Africa and others. The video will be divided into three to five minute educational segments and posted on the TCP Web site and a TCP YouTube channel for future viewing. Visitors to the illumiNation site may currently view information regarding CFL recycling, where to buy CFLs, CFls and mercury, how to clean up a broken CFL and more.

IdeaStar Online Marketing Manager Steve Lamb said online marketing played an important part in the Web presentations. “Social networks like MySpace, Facebook and Care2 played a key role in getting the word out to the public in a viral effort. E-mail marketing with IdeaStar’s Pulsar e-mail marketing system enabled TCP to make their reps, distributors, educators and others aware of the event. Pulsar also enabled us to send reminder messages and follow-up surveys to all the people who pre-registered and opted-in to this illumiNation event.” He added environmentally-conscious bloggers were contacted to help with promotion, and possibly blog about it afterwards.

During the presentations, TCP representatives answered questions from viewers through an online customer service chat program. Most questions involved where to recycle CFLs or where they can be purchased.

“This entire project is a perfect example of how a global corporation like TCP can utilize Web 2.0 to target consumers that they would have never been able to reach through traditional media outlets,” Steve said.

“Earth Day 2009 will be even better. We have a whole year to plan, plus a list of interested people to market to,” Michelle said. “We’ll have time to do our promos, e-mail campaigns, blogs – all that Web 2.0 stuff which works so well.”

Pay per Click Marketing, also known as PPC marketing or Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is a marketing method involving keywords and phrases in small text ads. Advertisers bid at search engines or other PPC marketing services on keywords or phrases to get ads displayed in search engine result pages. Ads can also be displayed on other web sites provided by the service you are using for your ad campaigns. A click on those words would redirect to your site.

Your maximum bid amount is the maximum amount of money you are willing to pay when a visitor clicks on your ad and gets referred (redirected) to your website. You do not have to pay for the display of the ad. This method of advertising is often confused with search engine optimization, but the two marketing methods are very different and require very different skills. Like SEO, PPC is also a very useful internet marketing strategy for a business.
