Inspiration for a web site’s content is often hard to find. So when I find myself in trouble, I turn towards my own list of six different content writing ideas that should help inspire you to get that new page up and running.
I would suggest you bookmark this list of content ideas, and save them for a rainy non-creative day.
Do your web pages flow? By flow, I mean can you read through it without asking yourself what is this about again? If you find yourself stopping and starting when reading your own web pages, take this basic writing advice and try it out on your own web site content.
The title tag might be a feature many people overlook, but it is just as important as having a nice looking web site layout. Some might even say it is the most important thing, because it is often the first thing a web site visitors sees. Today I’ll be telling you what the title tag is and what you can do to make yours better.
Over the past few weeks, I have been doing a lot of looking around at web sites I run, and asking myself, “What can I do to make this web site better?”. Well, after some experiments, trial and error, I have a few solutions I want to share with you.

When it comes to web hosting for podcasts, a lot of this specialized hosting field has yet to be figured out. Sure, you have your specialized plugins, content management systems made for podcasting, and a better understanding of it around the world. When push comes to shove though, which is better, hosting everything from one place, or splitting your web hosting up between a shared host and a specialized audio hosting service?
That is just about the question Charley posed to me the other day:
In your opinion, is it preferable to have your blog and podcast mp3s hosted on the same server, or would it be better to keep the audio files with one host, and the web site files with another host?
For many years, I did this very podcast in a two host setup.
For remote web hosting technicians, trying to remember what time it is where your business is located can be a pain. Thankfully, I have an easy to remember bookmark that should save you both trouble and time when it comes to remembering when that next big meeting is for you and for your boss who lives across the country.
We have gone over the fact before that it is important to keep a backup of your web site, and if you haven’t done so – you should do so sooner rather than later. However, how many backups do you have of your web site? I think with the start of the new year, we might all need to make a backup of our web site backups.
Before you claim that I am just overly suspicious of bad thing happening, let me make my case. What would you do if your web site went down?
When it comes to extensions, Firefox is king – with thousands upon thousands to choose from. However, Google Chrome is just now starting to gain ground with the idea of having an extendable interface, so how many good web development extensions are there for this alternative browser from Google? I did my search and found five of the best web development related extensions for the browser.
Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet?
Even in web hosting, the new year can often be a great time to start out fresh, get a new look on your online life, and try to make things even better than they are. That is what this podcast is here to help you with, as long as you promise me one of your resolutions will be to listen to this episode of the Web Hosting Show.

Effective Web Site Navigation Rules
A web site visitor should never be confused by your web site’s navigational layout. Every web page out there should have an easy way to navigate both to new web pages and categories, but also back out of them. Think of it as reaching a fork in an old country road, choosing to go down the left road – and then turning around and finding a pink hippopotamus in a tutu. While that might sound ridiculous – many web sites leave visitors with the pink hippo more often than not.
