Make the Cursor blink

This is a very peculiar way of decorating the cursor, and somehow the page. This is done leaving the cursor flashes when it moves and end up scattered and fell to form is still moving the cursor.
You can see an example on this website for free mobile wallpapers. When you load the page moves the cursor to where you want and watch it rise and fall of the mouse flashes: the more you move the cursor will flash over.

To put this effect of the cursor on your blog, go to Layout > Edit HTML and before paste the following:

In var color = "# FFFFFF"; adjust the color of the flash, in this case are white but you can change the color you want, I recommend that you only be a contrasting color to the bottom of the blog so you can see.

This way you can create a "magic"in the blog.

How to create a blog on Joomla CMS

Every person who has decided to create a blog, there is the question: on what it create? There are many blog platforms (LiveJournal, Blogger.com, Ya.ru, etc.), which is completely free to create and start blogging. However, these platforms have some drawbacks - very bad adjustability, strange ads on the pages of the blog, or even impossibility of monetization, etc. Therefore, many bloggers (including myself) go towards the establishment of standalone blog. In this case, you have to pay for hosting, as well as install and configure the engine, but the result is usually worth it - you have almost no way constrained by functional and part of your blog, and monetize a blog is usually much simpler.

So, suppose you decide to create a standalone blog.
The first thing to do - is to take care of the domain name and hosting for a future blog. I advise to use the services of proven recorders (eg, RU-Center or REG.ru), or to register domains through the host. Well, as a host I highly recommend TimeWeb - I use their services for many years and happy as an elephant - they provide a quality service at a very reasonable price. By the way, and the domains they can buy much cheaper than directly from the registrar, besides paying the hosting for a year they'll give you a bonus domain for free.

What kind of CMS (content management system, or just the engine) to use?
From the title of the article easy to guess, I'll talk about creating a blog on a free CMS Joomla, but in fairness mention yet of a pair of engines.
First - Wordpress - is the most popular blogging engine. This is understandable - Wordpress-functional as it is sharpened by the creation of blogs. However, for all its popularity and functionality, Wordpress is very greedy with respect to the server resources, which means that if your blog becomes popular, then you have to switch to more expensive options for hosting services (for example, to place the site on a dedicated server).
The second engine, which I would like to mention - it MaxSite CMS, which is the antithesis of Wordpress-y on the part of the load on the server. It is very easy blog engine, which is quite suitable for a simple blog. However, this engine developed by one person, and to date has such a rich set of extensions as the more popular CMS.

Here we must note that the main reason that I took as a basis for his blog CMS Joomla, and not Wordpress or another CMS - this is what I used to work with Joomla, made her a great number of sites (already difficult to count exactly how many) . Therefore, the article could not be better suitable for such as "accustomed", as I do, the more so that after the completion Joomla works great as a blogging engine.
However, even novice users can use this article as a guide, especially as it is for them written almost all of the introductory part and a section on installing Joomla.

And one more remark kratenkaya before the technical part.
To date, the latest version of a Joomla 1.6. However, she came out recently, and therefore is not as stable as its predecessor version Joomla 1.5. In addition, for the same reasons for Joomla 1.5 has many more extensions. Therefore, in this article, I consider the creation of a blog on Joomla 1.5. However, with sufficient dexterity, you can apply the same principles and for more recent versions of the CMS.

So, doing a blog on CMS Joomla. Where to start?
In general, for there are specific Joomla components for blogging, but I suggest you go a bit the other way. Joomla - is primarily a CMS to publish articles, and it itself is a great engine for your blog. But in the set from scratch for a full Joomla blogopisatelstva lacks some things - comment systems, tags, social, buttons and other details. And I suggest to use as the basis for a blog "native" component for creating articles in Joomla («com_content»), and all what is missing - install and configure.

Installing Joomla

At this stage the detail will not, I think you can handle.
If you choose to use hosting from TimeWeb, you can install Joomla with just one click directly from the control panel account.

Problems should not arise in the event that you decide to install Joomla manually. Joomla installation process is described in great detail on many sites, you should be able to find lots of material on the subject. Also, if you have at-least the minimum experience with installing a CMS, then installing Joomla you probably right - step by step wizard will help even the complete novice. I can also advise address in which case the assistance to Russian-speaking forum Support Joomla, this is a very friendly community that is happy to help newcomers.

But now, the most important - on the extensions that will turn your website into Joomla to turn it into a full-fledged blog. All the extensions described below you can see the work on this very site (at least at the time of writing). All the considered extension of free (as herself Joomla).

The very first thing is to have - a component of comments, which will allow visitors to comment on your blog entries. The best comments component for Joomla. Set it as easy as any other extension for Joomla. You can also install a module that will display on the site given recent comments.

The next thing that distinguishes a blog from other sites - a system of tags.
But the best part of tags for Joomla in my opinion - this component is very easy to install and configure. Together with the component supplied modules, which allow you to display the site's most popular tags, most-read tags, as well as a random set of tags.

Buttons social networking site for

It's time to add to our blog a little sotsialschiny. You want your visitors to leave links to your blog on social networking sites and services? Very well, proceed.

Search "social" extensions for Joomla took me a long time. Despite their abundance, good of them not so much. Wanted something nenalyapistogo and accurate, but at the same time noticeable. In the end I found what I was looking for and found in his blog several extensions of this series, which wonderfully complement each other.

The first thing I advise you to place - this module «Ya.Share». How does this module to work, you can see at the top right of this page. «Ya.Share» allows users to publish a link to the page on services such as, VKontakte, Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal, My World, FriendFeed, Classmates.

The second recommended me, "social" extension - this plugin «VagrantWeb Social Buttons», see the work that you can at the very bottom of this article. He publishes a few buttons, but they are sufficient in my opinion. The first button allows you to post a link to current article on Twitter, and also displays the number of users who have already published such a link. Next - standard button "I like" on Facebook. Finally, the third button allows you to post a link to a service Google Buzz.

If you have an account on Twitter, on which you want to tell your readers, I recommend to also install the module «FollowMe», which is displayed on your site in the form of cute birds in one corner of the page (I have it at the bottom right). This little bird - a reference to your account on Twitter (my account name you specify in the module settings).
Also, if you prefer, you can install the module TweetXT, which will show a tape of your latest tweets (I have this module is not installed).

Other useful extensions for Joomla

And now a word about the extensions that will be useful not only for the blog.
Plugin Page Navigation Titles instead of the faceless text of the previous and next pages show the names of articles of neighboring notes. This will be useful both for users of the site, and in terms of search engine optimization.

Plugin JUMultithumb - will create thumbnail images in the announcements of articles, as well as in the articles themselves show in beautiful full-sized lightbox image. I advise you to use version 2.5. There's a sense it is true that the development of plug-podzabroshena, and on JED be removed.

Update: Thanks to the discussion in the comments to this article, decided to allow blog readers to subscribe to the RSS-feed not only through an icon in the address bar of your browser (which is present in Firefox and Opera), but also directly from the site. At the same time decided to switch from the standard Joomla-vskogo RSS-mechanism for FeedBurner. So please those who read me via RSS, to register in your RSS-aggregator new address of my feed.

RSS feed for the site

So, for the convenience of tracking statistics on visitors to encourage you to follow my example, to register at «FeedBurner» (registration is not necessary if you already have an account with Google), and create in this service RSS feed for your site.

To make the address bar and Firefox-and Opera display FeedBurner-ovsky feed instead of the standard, you need to start off a standard feed for all the items menu. This is done in the settings for each menu item in the advanced settings. Then you can go two ways - either to install and activate the plugin RSS in URL Bar, or manually register in the site template between and following line

Naturally, instead of the text in italics, you need to substitute your data.

As we already explained in the commentary, just links to the feed in the address bar is not enough because not all browsers support this feature.

Digging into the Joomla I found a good plugin «ITPSubscribe», which allows you to display on the pages of articles blochok that displays not only a link to the feed, but also the form to subscribe to notifications of new articles by E-mail. This form will only work if you use a RSS-feed from FeedBurner. How does this blochok, you can see on this page directly below the article.

That's it.
Very little body movement - and your website with Joomla turns into a full-fledged blog.

How to make the intro to blog


When you think the first time make sure you blog comes to mind more style Web page with some sort of welcome screen, but then you discover that a Web page is not the same as a blog, and even a blog has too many positive points in favor of a sudden there who want to use these elements of sites to your own blog, this is the case of presentation or intro screens.

Although there are many methods to do some of these require you to create a html document that will be displayed as an introduction, however this is not recommended when trying to position the blog. So experimenting a bit I designed a method by which we will not use additional pages to not affect PageRank, and to avoid damaging the position or be penalized by Google will not hide the contents of the blog, only use two layers, one being the content I'll blog a very low z-index, and one that will be the intro to another z-index but higher, this will make Google bots can read the blog content without problems.

This intro to the blog is simple but can have more items if they wish, it will be at the discretion of each individual, so soon I will only display an image as a button to enter and background music. And attention, which will only be on the cover of the blog to not be annoying to readers, so that when operating on blog posts or pages of the intro is not visible.

Now let's see how to put it first enters Layout > Edit HTML and look for this label:


<body>


Or if you use a template from Blogger Templates Designer then find this line:


<body expr:class='&quot;loading&quot; + data:blog.mobileClass'>


Just below either one of them adding:


<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<style type='text/css'>
body {margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden;}
.entrar, #navbar-iframe, .navbar {display:none;}
.BlogOculto {z-index:-100;} #Intro {z-index:5000;}
#Intro {text-align:center;
background:#000; /* Color de fondo de la pantalla */
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
p.btnEntrar a {
font-size: 16px; /* Tamaño de la letra del botón */
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
color: #1C1C1C; /* Color de la letra del botón */
background: #ccc; /* Color de fondo del botón */
padding: 6px;
border: 1px solid #2E2E2E; /* Color del borde del botón */
border-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius: 6px;
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
}
p.btnEntrar a:hover {position:relative; top:1px; left:1px;}
</style>

<div id='Intro'>
<div style='margin-top:200px;'>
<!-- Inicio del contenido del intro -->

<img src='URL de la imagen'/>
<p class='btnEntrar'>&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; onClick=&quot;document.getElementById(&#39;BlogContenedor&#39;).className = &#39;quitarIntro&#39;, document.getElementById(&#39;Intro&#39;).className = &#39;entrar&#39;, document.getElementById(&#39;ElementosAudio&#39;).innerHTML = &#39;&#39;, document.body.style.overflow=&#39;auto&#39; &quot;&gt;Entrar&lt;/a&gt;</p>

<div id='ElementosAudio'>
<iframe allowfullscreen='' frameborder='0' height='0' src='http://www.youtube.com/v/XXXXXXX&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1' width='0'/>
</div>

<!-- Fin del contenido del intro -->
</div>
</div>
</b:if>

<span class='BlogOculto' id='BlogContenedor'>


And then find the and above it add this:


</span>

Is that all? Yes, that's it, now we're just going to customize it.
In the first code we've added are marked in green as the color aspects that will have the intro, the font size of button, button color, etc.

Then where it says the image URL you can put the URL of the image of the logo in your blog, a welcome picture or other image. The text of the 'Login' button can be changed by anyone else, then I have indicated in bold, or if you want you can replace the button for an image, simply delete the text enter and put in place an image code:

<img src="URL de la imagen" />

If you do that then you should remove the border and background color of the button marked in green.
But it is VERY IMPORTANT that if you change the text or if you put an image in place, DO NOT change the code purple is around.

Any item to be added to the intro should go before where it says End of intro or content Start of content after the intro. Intros regularly do not have much a matter of presentation and that the less things have improved.

Wherein said margin-top: 200px is the distance that will intro elements over the top of the screen can be changed to another value.

I've put a background music using a YouTube video that I just put in zero values ​​for width and height to make the player invisible. If you want to put background music also then change the ID XXXXXXX the video you want to.
If you want to put a Flash SWF file player code removed (only gray) and instead put the SWF code. But beware, should be removed only what is in gray.
If you do not want to put audio, or even a flash file you can remove the gray or leave it.

If your blog has music that plays when you enter the blog I recommend that you take off the autoplay, otherwise you will hear in the intro of the blog. Similarly, if you have a video or flash gadget at the entrances or within the template will have to follow the steps in this post for the video or gadget is not overpowered.

As a final point, when you go to Layout | Page Elements will also see the intro, but if you click on Login you will see everything as usual.

And now, it seems that's all, enjoy it:)

Obtain seo-links via Twitter

Today found in the English speaking internet fresh and interesting article on how to get back seo-links by publishing posts on Twitter. A good idea in encouraging the development of new goodies, so I immediately ventured to translate it into Russian.
Author of the article - Joshua Odmark
Original - How To Use Twitter As A Content Distribution Network

From the standpoint of the developer, Twitter, thanks to the tremendous capabilities of its API looks promising application. Any malicious hacker could download one of the many libraries Twitter, connect to the API, to unload the popular topics and use them to user accounts invaded by uninvited spam tweets.

But let me explain, or better to quote Superman: "By the great force attached great commitment." Twitter is essentially gave each developer a huge opportunity by opening access to its API. Perhaps you will say that every API has this quality. Nevertheless, having a huge audience and a huge amount of content, Twitter at the moment ahead of the rest. At least until then, until Facebook API does not do his quest (if they do).

From the standpoint of business, API and Twitter's term, in the cunning use it to distribute their content.

How do I link it with search engines?

Several months ago I wrote an article on a topic that has attracted considerable attention and was protsitirovanna more than 100 tviteryanami that is not so much in rasvnenii with other popular articles published on the Internet. But then there was something shocking.

With the button «retweet» the service Tweetmeme I could get a short link that is used for its publication in Twitter. I also spread the story, using their own short link. Having the two links, one created on the site and another, created by his own hand, I set up Google Alerts so as to monitor the activity of citation of both.

If we consider a variety of Web applications, desktop applications and clients for Twitter and, accordingly, a variety of ways to publish tweets, it becomes clear that the short reference when quoting will be changed and thus prevented my attempt to trace their fate on the Internet. To counteract this, I installed a script that checks each day searching Twitter API to quote my article. Then I gathered up all the links it finds tweets. If the link is flashed more than once, I began to watch her in various ways, including Google Alerts.

Idea was to identify every trace left of my article on Twitter. Fortunately, now, quick links are used mainly for Twitter, which allowed me to avoid the potential impact on these other sites.

What I found - a huge opportunity to get back links using Twitter.

Twitter = content distribution = backlinks

You may recall that a link to Twitter are not important for seo, as the service uses the attribute «nofollow» for all links and this is true. Many of my friends who advise companies on search engine optimization litter theories that even if the link is present, this attribute, it still conveys some weight, though not great. True or not, I do not know. But valuable links from citations tweets are not seo-links.

The value of Twitter's API is that it provides free access to your content to millions of developers around the world.

Let's play. You - a cunning marketing specialist, and I - very inventive programmer. You do not know me, and I you.

Say you have published information about Google Wave on a corporate blog and asked his young assistant to publish a Twitter link to your article.

Immediately after your specialist will post a link, I'll make a request via Twitter search API (the beauty of real time) on the theme «Google Wave» and received in response to your tweet. Since I am a collector of content, my clever little script will copy your tweets from Twitter into my local database, Spars link to the post in your blog, and remove the shortened link. I will take the title of your article and publish the results on its website.

Visually, the resulting tweet like this:
JoshuaOdmark: Is Google Wave the next best thing? We think so ... http://9mp.com/Yxe

And the result on my site will be the following:
Google Wave Drips With Ambition. A New Communication Platform For A New Web.

And here is the link back ...

Of course, this is a fictional situation with some conditions, but you see how you can get a link back to using Twitter. The key is to keep your tweets published in the largest possible number of third-party applications. You can achieve this by extracting as much as possible retweets their posts. Each retweet - the ability to get at least one back link. But always remember that nobody likes spammers. Be honest and respect the rules for using Twitter. Retaining your existing subscribers continue to seek new and create avtoritetty account that in the future will justify itself.

Twitter is now one of the most popular companies in the world, as evidenced by its capital. Therefore, focus their work on obtaining a permanent benefit, creating quality content, while continuing to find interested subscribers, and backlinks from retweets will naturally!

And there will be only to observe an increase in search traffic ...

Installing Windows Server 2008

Installing Windows Server 2008 is pretty straightforward and is very much like installing Windows Vista.For those of you who have never installed Vista before, the entire installation process is different than it used to be in previous Microsoft operating systems.

Note: Windows Server 2008 can also be installed as a Server Core installation, which is a cut-down version of Windows without the Windows Explorer GUI. Because you don’t have the Windows Explorer to provide the GUI interface that you are used to, you configure everything through the command line interface or remotely using a Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The Server Core can be used for dedicated machines with basic roles such as Domain controller/Active Directory Domain Services, DNS Server, DHCP Server, file server, print server, Windows Media Server, IIS 7 web server and Windows Server Virtualization virtual server.
The following are requirements for the installation of windows server 2008:



Follow this procedure to install Windows Server 2008:

1. Insert the appropriate Windows Server 2008 installation media into your DVD drive. If you don't have an installation DVD for Windows Server 2008, you can download one for free from Microsoft's Windows 2008 Server Trial website.

2. Reboot the computer.


3. When prompted for an installation language and other regional options, make your selection and press Next.

4. Next, press Install Now to begin the installation process.


5. Product activation is now also identical with that found in Windows Vista. Enter your Product ID in the next window, and if you want to automatically activate Windows the moment the installation finishes, click Next.


If you do not have the Product ID available right now, you can leave the box empty, and click Next. You will need to provide the Product ID later, after the server installation is over. Press No.



6. Because you did not provide the correct ID, the installation process cannot determine what kind of Windows Server 2008 license you own, and therefore you will be prompted to select your correct version in the next screen, assuming you are telling the truth and will provide the correct ID to prove your selection later on.



7. If you did provide the right Product ID, select the Full version of the right Windows version you're prompted, and click Next.



8. Read and accept the license terms by clicking to select the checkbox and pressing Next.



9. In the "Which type of installation do you want?" window, click the only available option – Custom (Advanced).



10. In the "Where do you want to install Windows?", if you're installing the server on a regular IDE hard disk, click to select the first disk, usually Disk 0, and click Next.



If you're installing on a hard disk that's connected to a SCSI controller, click Load Driver and insert the media provided by the controller's manufacturer.
If you're installing in a Virtual Machine environment, make sure you read the "Installing the Virtual SCSI Controller Driver for Virtual Server 2005 on Windows Server 2008"
If you must, you can also click Drive Options and manually create a partition on the destination hard disk.

11. The installation now begins, and you can go and have lunch. Copying the setup files from the DVD to the hard drive only takes about one minute. However, extracting and uncompressing the files takes a good deal longer. After 20 minutes, the operating system is installed. The exact time it takes to install server core depends upon your hardware specifications. Faster disks will perform much faster installs… Windows Server 2008 takes up approximately 10 GB of hard drive space.





The installation process will reboot your computer, so, if in step #10 you inserted a floppy disk (either real or virtual), make sure you remove it before going to lunch, as you'll find the server hanged without the ability to boot (you can bypass this by configuring the server to boot from a CD/DVD and then from the hard disk in the booting order on the server's BIOS)


12. Then the server reboots you'll be prompted with the new Windows Server 2008 type of login screen. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log in.


13. Click on Other User.



14. The default Administrator is blank, so just type Administrator and press Enter.


15. You will be prompted to change the user's password. You have no choice but to press Ok.


16. In the password changing dialog box, leave the default password blank ( read step #15…), and enter a new, complex, at-least-7-characters-long new password twice. A password like "topsecret" is not valid (it's not complex), but one like "T0pSecreT!" sure is. Make sure you remember it.


17. Someone thought it would be cool to nag you once more, so now you'll be prompted to accept the fact that the password had been changed. Press Ok.




18. Finally, the desktop appears and that's it, you're logged on and can begin working. You will be greeted by an assistant for the initial server configuration, and after performing some initial configuration tasks, you will be able to start working.

using open source

Open source is about freedom — not simply the ideal of freedom, but the commercial reality of freedom. Open source software does not carry licensing or subscription fees. Although the initial attraction of open source software may be the fact that it is free of charge, you are likely to find very quickly that the long-term advantage of open source lies in two other characteristics:
  • The code is accessible. Unlike many commercial products that not only hide their code but also forbid you from modifying it, open source code is visible and you are free to modify it to suit your needs.
  • Open source protects you from being tied to a specific vendor. If you adopt an open source solution, you can partner with the developer of your choice to assist you. If you deploy a system such as Joomla!, which is based on popular and common technologies, you need not dread having to change vendors in the future because finding people who are familiar with the system and have the skills needed to work on it is easy.
Taken together, the initial cost advantage plus the long-term benefits of having access to the code and your choice of vendors create a compelling argument in favor of open source.
However, you should also consider the disadvantages in the course of making your decision. If your firm has existing software deployed on a proprietary system, you may want to continue with those systems rather than introducing different products or platforms into your business. Support can also be an issue with open source products. If your firm requires a high level of support, you need to select an open source vendor that can offer you an appropriate service-level agreement.

Support for Joomla! is typically a self-help scenario. If you need to obtain a commercial support contract with a service-level agreement, you need to search for a developer who can provide this service because Joomla! does not offer commercial support. Although commercial support can be difficult to find, Joomla! does provide numerous community-based support options, including:
  • Online documentation
  • Community forums
  • Online tutorials
  • Mailing lists
  • RSS feeds
  • Developer wiki
Although the software is free of charge, you can expect to pay for a few things, either at the time you build your site or some time during the life of ownership. Common costs include:
  • Design services
  • Consulting services
  • Custom development
  • Deployment
  • Support
  • Hosting services
  • Licenses for other related software, for example, certain extensions
  • Domain names
  • Maintenance
All of these expenses may not be applicable to your project, but you should consider them when calculating the total cost of ownership of an open source system. Even if you plan to manage and maintain the site yourself, don’t forget that there is a cost associated with your time. It is a common mistake to underestimate the amount of time it can take to maintain a site. A CMS is a complex piece of software and it can be a target for hackers and others with bad intent. You cannot just build your site and forget it. Across the life of the site you need to install patches and security releases. The more complicated your site, the more time this takes. Don’t make the mistake of ignoring this sometimes significant ongoing cost of ownership.

using cms

Content management systems make maintaining a web site more practical and more affordable. In the past, if you wanted to build a web site, you built a set of static HTML pages — that is, you hard-coded each page with your text and images. The problem is that if you build a static web site,you are forever locked into working with page code each time you want to change the site.
Changing the contents of a page by manually changing the code on the page is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Managing a static site also locks you into hiring people with coding skills to perform content management tasks. Doing this can be a misuse of resources and is typically not a cost-effective approach to the problem. In contrast, if you use a content management system to power your web site, anyone with basic skills can make changes to the web site . You don’t need a programmer to change the text or images on a page. Most systems, including Joomla!, use a content management interface that is largely similar to what you see in common word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word.

With a CMS, you gain significant advantages, including...
  • Increased control over your web site
  • Increased control over your web site
  • Lower cost per page
  • Decreased total cost of ownership for your site

The same arguments that help justify the use of a CMS apply in even greater force to an open source CMS. Open source systems tend to deliver the same high degree of functionality but for a relatively lower cost base. This favorable cost-to-benefit ratio is largely responsible for the success of the systems and helps explain why they have become especially popular for businesses both small and large.
 
A content management system typically provides the following features: 
 
  • Identification of key users and their roles
  • Ability to assign roles and responsibilities
  • Ability to define workflow
  • Ability to schedule and publish content
  • Ability to limit access to content and functionality
  • Ability to administer the system
  • Ability to take the site offline and to perform maintenance tasks
  • Ability to add components

    Domain falls on Yandex

    When you have many domains, it may happen that some of them will be mirrors of other domains. The reason for this may be the same plugs, including those that are loaded by default by your host. You can also send the domain in the mirror, he unsuccessfully sticking particles.

    Once I discovered that a couple dozen of my domains has been the mirror of one of my sites that resulted from inaccurate account settings. It was then that I decided to try a little experiment to withdraw them from the mirror.

    For each domain, I created a website consisting of a white page, which has not even had a title. On one, however, for a joke wrote a hot letter requesting Yandex unstick domain. All domains are stuck to different ip. And then, just over a month and domains safely peel from each other and from the site, which they were mirrors.

    One would think, cheers! Yes, hurray, but not quite, though it is also fixable. Most likely, because the pages did not have titles, and generally they do not, add them to the index through addurl Yandex does not work - says that the site is banned for indexing and allows to read information about what can cause this error: incorrect settings page or search engine spam. Although that page, in which the title was, and the text was also a (reference to Yandex), also banned for indexing. Maybe domains have gone to the baths? But for what? In general, it is yet to be tested, using a pair of such domains at the sites and see whether they will be included in the index.

    But, if I understood correctly, to peel a domain, you must create it on site and put down on him external links, then Yandex though not forget, but forgive and return the domain of life index.

    Basic Structure of the computer and the Son of Man

    Inspired by the human being created in many products developed by assets, wisdom bestowed upon him, thanks to features such as intelligence and reasoning, according to the needs of different instruments and tools produced. The computer is an indispensable tool in our age is undoubtedly one of these inventions. Accepted as the first computer, hand-made addition and subtraction (for the first time in BC 3000'li used by Babil'liler) abacus, calculator, speed per second in today's super computers capable of 1,750 trillion reached the account.

    One of the most important inventions of human history as the invention of the computer-generated assets, which is one of the most-developed human modeled. How is the human, physical, and vitality to it that the soul consists of computer hardware and software consists of two main components.

    Electricity came to work as long as the computer's power button is pressed, the survival of the electricity fails or the battery runs out does not work like a soul, the body (body) enters with life and goes to leave with his separation. Mental - physical relationship breaks down at the real life like the collapse of the hardware - software compatibility often, the computer does not crash (blue screen of falling) all along with the danger.

    Hardware (Hardware)

    Hardware (hardware), refers to the physical structure of the computer. Physical structure, a metal stack consisting of only the eye can see, hand dokunabildiğimiz parts; the same physical structure of man, his body, such as meat and bone formation. Your most basic hardware of a computer;

    - Input units (keyboard, mouse, scanner, microphone, etc.),

    - Output units (display, printer, speakers, plotters, etc.),

    - Central processing unit (CPU / CPU),

    - The memory units (RAM, ROM, cache)

    - Storage units (hard disk, DVD - ROM, etc.)

    and consists of lines of communication between these units. All transactions are monitored, managed unit of the central processing unit (CPU) or processor with the name of the public in the language of the computer called the brain or heart.

    The processor runs the programs and information about the program is stored on the memory modules. The processor needs the data capacity is low at first, but the front running very fast memory (cache memory) searches. Are we not like that? Searches for a drink or food in the refrigerator in the house first before looking for, we can not find go to the nearest grocery store. Here it is, in our house capacity is low, but access to high speed cache buzdolabımızdır. To access the processor cache, main memory (RAM) is much shorter than the access. If the information sought in the cache or memory, refers to the main processor. Main memory is a temporary storage area, information on power cut now lost. For this reason, computer programs to store more long-term and permanent storage units (hard drive, DVD-ROM, etc.) are used.

    Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin, the process of human memory, information processing of sensory memory (cache), short-term memory / working memory (RAM) and long-term memory (storage units) occurred in three phases to be similar to the model described by specifying the human memory. 2

    We like computers at roughly the input birimlerimizle, sensory organlarımızla receive / perceive information that is the heart and brain to process the CPU / or output units, after reasoning (mouth, tongue, eye, etc.) send or storage units which store.

    Software (Software)

    Computers are used in all kinds of software programs (software) is called. In other words, software, hardware required to manage and use the name given to programs. Software, hardware and computer life-giving, life-saving programs. Yazılımsız a dead body is no different from a computer useless. How dull it (inanimate) is a function of the body can not talk about any, on any software / hardware is not installed in the program, can not go beyond being a metal stack.

    Real life, spiritual and bodily life, a life to be shoulder to shoulder and Horsehead. The spirit and unity and harmony of body and soul to continue with the real life with real life-size münasebetinin degradation, such as the collapse of a computer, the hardware-software integration, and with good quality, is a super computer.

    The relationship between software and hardware

    The relationship between software and hardware can be expressed as follows. As can be seen in the figure, the person using the computer software and hardware dominates.

    Developed specifically to perform any task, and users to perform these operations using special programs / software application programs are called. In fact, all the programs running on your computer (Word, Paint, game programs, Web browsers, etc.), each application program. Application programs / software (programming languages, office software, such as software packages) on the hardware to install and run Linux, Mac OS, Windows XP, Windows 7 as an installed operating system (system software) must be present. Operating systems / software installed on your system without it is not possible to run an application program.

    The operating system installed on the human mind is like hardware, operating system, according to the level of intelligence to use your computer and make it easier to process, units are connected to your computer (fax modem, a DVD-ROM, printer, etc..) Steer, it is possible to realize programs on your computer to control and operations. The operating system, all programs are running, fairly, efficiently and without interfering with each other's resources, allowing to use the same hardware, application software and provides compatibility between hardware units.

    Traffic police stood at a crossroads with limited roads, such as providing a number of tools used by the operating system running many programs at the same time, the disk, allows the use of hardware resources such as memory and processor.

    Operating systems, including all the programs running on the computer / software have been written using a programming language.

    Programming languages and their properties

    A programmer can write commands using different programming languages​​. Of course, but with a programming language software / processes can be said that the programs will be developed and the computer. Perhaps the programming language as the people speaking the languages ​​have been developed. Today, many modern programming language, used by the Konrad Zuse'nin Plankalkül first programmable computer, under the leadership of Fortran language and was developed by IBM has found the field of application. The historical development of programming languages ​​FORTRAN, ALGOL, LISP, PASCAL, APL, SIMULA, CPL, ADA, Smalltalk, BASIC, PROLOG, C, such as jumping large stones, many are still today, albeit by changing shape. In addition to these more recently developed, these languages are the descendants of the can show Java, C + +, C #, Python, Ruby, Perl, Delphi, Visual Basic, PHP, such as the languages ​​in the scene they showed, and the programming language market the current major shareholders have become.

    All of these programming languages can be divided into 2 groups according to human perception, or is close to the machine;

    1. Lower-level languages ​​(assembly language)
    2. Upper-Level Languages ​​(Visual Basic, Pascal, Delphi, Cobol, FoxPro, Java, C + + ...)

    Human / high-level languages ​​are close to the programmer's perception of languages, the machine / computer is close to the lower-level languages

    Man or a programmer (who knows the language speech) and computer (machine language-"1.0," who knows) Communication between two foreign statesmen together who do not know the language of each talk or speech dealing with this same logic. Suspecting that the talks between the two statesmen in the strange, but realized through an interpreter or translator. Similarly, computer manufacturers, the same problem with the computer machine language, translate the language of human speech, will interpret such a "program compiler or interpreter"

    Create your own blog? why, how much and how to do it? (part 1)

    Part 1. Why create a blog?
    Create a blog: why create a blog? This issue was raised in the blogosphere more than once. Moreover, I am sure he is from time to time will go up some new sponsors. I am in this case is no exception. Though perhaps my arguments will be more extensive than the standard posts on this topic, since I'm going to do once the group of articles on the subject. Collect, so to speak together all that relates to the process of creating a blog - before and after, from start to finish. This material may be useful to those who have not yet decided to create my own blog, but just thinking about it. Perhaps you can find some valuable information for themselves.

    Recently read a blog of a man who "goes to work in the Internet", a note on the 11ti reasons to start a blog. He divides them into two categories - tangible and not. Consider this post, and I was like the text will express their opinion (in italics) on certain items. So, for the first (non-material) are the reasons:

    1. The idea - explaining the idea, posting it, understand and accept it in some new forms, which in turn generates new thoughts and ideas. This perpetual motion itself for ideas.

    2. Friends - The Blog is used to explore new and helpful people, sometimes when it turns out to potential customers. For customers it's certainly the case if a professional blog.

    3. Writers' tendencies - when I want to express their thoughts, ideas, share them with people. If you have something to say, then why not.

    4. Samopiar - making their names on the Internet, gather like-minded people. It is only logical!

    5. Content - such as verification of the theory, that if you write interesting posts, all the rest (readers, popularity, name and money) will follow. In our real-world mercenary is certainly more like the idyll, but you never know.

    More material reasons. It even does not seem to reason and direction for the incomes for the blog. Generally when you create a blog, many may even not to think about this and come to this eventually. I've personally at this stage plan to simply create a quality blog with interesting and useful information, to organize more or less stable club readers and friends, and will continue to be seen.

    Thus, the basic ways of earning on the blog (cite only a list without comment):

    1. AdSense - contextual ads, money goes for clicks from visitors, the method is very simple, but poorly effective for RU and UA blogs.

    2. Advertising - selling seats for text and banner advertising.

    3. Referrals - advertise different affiliate programs, signing himself refealov in parallel, from the activities of which you are interest. The complexity of ways that one must first achieve the most success in a particular program, and then promote it.

    4. Services - can offer their goods and services, such as "will set the mood and the WordPress site for a small fee" or a "For Sale samopisny script for a simple shop."

    5. Custom office - all in principle understandable, it is possible to do both independently and through the system (sites), offering to write reviews of the order.

    6. Sale of options - can recoup hosting, for example, more promoted resource, the more expensive price for reference. Again, there are special services for this.

    I had found another note on the question of "why are all still start a blog. The author, describing the reasons, along classifies blogs. My comments are in italics.

    1. Blogs related to the profession. Such blogs are usually created by programmers and other IT-specialists, where you can meet and share helpful tips from the conference and throughout the network, to share their own best practices, as well as interesting details from his experience. My blog, in principle, fit this description most accurately. As for me the most interesting blogs.

    2. Blogs of privacy. These blogs, perhaps the majority. I generally tend to share the "diaries" and "blogs", although in fact the concept is very similar. In my understanding, "Diary" - this is the personal notes, that is more oriented for themselves - an analogue of a paper diary, too, some of their own for some reason are. In general, useful information in these blogs are very few, can be used as communication with friends and associates.

    3. Blogs problematic. Here the authors present their clever ideas on various occasions. IMHO, a very dubious point in the classification, several parallels to personal diaries.

    4. Blogs-compilations. It publishes links to all sorts of things from all over, often without copyrights. The author suggests that it is something like "create your own corner of the network, but as for me, the usual splog (spam blog). Although the book collection of discord, if it is a quality blog - it's just a godsend!

    5. Blogs travelers and explorers. In many such blogs resonate with paragraph 2, as they are based on personal experiences of those who lead them. Usually such blogs exist during their stay in the author described the country, and then quietly closed. Also a very specific kind of blog, according to me. Want to add except that there are photo-blogging, which publishes the only (or mostly) pictures some. Here is a format well suited to the variety of blogs.

    6. Blogs related to training. This is a blog for people who practice their skills in a particular teaching - foreign languages, trainings, etc. Here you can upload some tutorials, custom development, links to interesting resources.

    Of course, this classification is rather conventional, but for informational purposes quite amiss. For more information on the types of blogs you can search on Wikipedia. Causes of the creation for each individual person has his own - for whom an outlet or a testing ground for some own experiments, some attract customers, shares his thoughts and earns his apartment.

    By the way, often on the sites pages have a page of type "about the author" or "on the blog, where people sometimes indicate the reasons that prompted them to create your own blog.
