Search Engine Optimization

2003-07-08 Thread Haggerty, Mike
There was a thread on this list recently about Search Engine Optimization for CF sites. Just so happens SEO has become an issue for me on a freelance project, and I want to start a list of best practices I can work into my development processes. Thus far, I have three items: 1) Configure the

Yep, Flash is that good. You need to trust me, not this author. Flash does a lot right now, and this guy chose to focus on it's usefulness in animation and graphics. That's a very poor representation of Flash's abilities, and the article is anything other than a critique of it's role in

Adam; This author makes no valid points. He simply takes shots at what he doesn't like to condemn a product wholly. The author criticizes the work of individual authors, and holds Flash to blame as an 'enabler'. This assertion is a non sequitur, and justifies my comment about the article being

These are things a good developer handles for. Tab controls are certainly easy to add to a form in Flash. M -Original Message- From: Greg Luce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 1:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Is Flash really THAT good? I personally dislike flash

2003-06-20 Thread Haggerty, Mike
Well, these days I don't know if even that is true. There are a lot of good sites being done by good developers that are really slick in how they handle, where things like tab stops are the least of what they handle for. The problem, IMHO, is that not enough people 'see' RIAs. They are not

Well, if you are on NT you can set up Performance Monitor to monitor execution times for CF pages. There are a number of custom counters built right into the package. This would allow you to avoid using additional code to monitor pages, since more code just adds overhead and throws off your
