News & Tips:
Yahoo! Listing - If you are wanting to get listed in Yahoo then the best way is to use their site, find what page you should get listed on and then use the Suggest a Site link at the bottom of the page. For me they have gotten back to my requests very quickly.

Good Spelling - Having good copy type is essential for all sites. I have been known not to be able to type the best but with the help of the latest features in word processors, I am improving. The HTML design programs don't have the best spelling or grama checkers so if I want to make sure that some text is correct, I will often type it into one of these other programs, and then copy the text over.

Favicon.com - This has a java icon generator (new version) that allows you the site designer to add a little unique icon to a persons browser when they bookmark your site. It is very easy to do so get it on your site so that your sites stand out from the list.

Checking for Linked Sites - If you're a webmaster and you are wanting to see who has linked to your site or specific pages on your site you now can. Simply type the word link in front of the address. eg. link:www.worldview.edu.au and watch the results get displayed. I have used the Google engine and this works great.

Search facilities - When you build a site it is easy for it to grow. It is an asset to have a search facility on the site that allows your visitors to search your site. I have been very happy with the free services of Atomz.com as they allow for customisable results pages.
