Making Your HTML Static Page Dynamic Through Feeds

admin — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 22:46:13 +0000

One of the problems faced by webmasters with a static html websites is how to make it dynamic and also how to increase it’s popularity with the search engines. Every good webmaster understands that search engines likes dynamic pages and this is one thing giving rise to use of content management systems. I would argue that despite all the features offered by most CMS, some webmasters only need a basic use of it.

As usual most webmasters would like to feed constant dynamic contents to their static html pages which gives it that changing look and may attract some search engines to it.

After some good reserach you would find there are many ways to link up your blog contents or contents from other places of interest to be updated regularly on your static page.

If you are interested in this, you may like to try Google Feedburner, i find it to be one of the best and most stable. When you have created your account, follow the instructions and set up your feed. To publish on your web page, just choose Publicize and the BuzzBoost.

Recently a visitor was trying to comment on this blog and also posting some codes for us to help out, he was having problems with his joomla template and when we asked him to post his code here for us to see, he became frustrated after posting it so many times with the codes being converted into characters like < and >.

MIGRATING JOOMLA TO DRUPAL

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:16:26 +0000

I am actually tired of apologizing all the time to my readers for lack of constant updates on this site. Please bear with me as i have a lot to handle these days but just like i always do, let’s get down the business straight away.
I dont know why but me and a client of mine got frustrated with joomla recently when it started loading partial pages and loading pages with the template css missing and also calling up templates and modules that has already been deleted. We did a lot of research in this field and after coming up with no tangible answer to fix the problem right away and of which the last option was to re-install joomla again, we decided to wave goodbye to it and move to another CMS. A programmer demanded a large sum of money we couldn’t afford to help fix this issue but we were quite concerned that the problem may develope again in the future as we are convinced it’s a bug problem with joomla.
Drupal offers a very good platform and very stable with less module and bad programming issues you get with joomla. Though the graphic user interface (GUI) and editor in joomla are superb and also the ability to install modules and configure them easily are better in joomla, drupal on the other hand offers you the ability to be independent and develope your site to your taste. if you ask me, i would say Drupal is actually a bit for advanced users.

Well just to cut the long story short, if you find yourself in our shoes and would like to move to Drupal, migrating to drupal from joomla is as easy as can be, it takes just few minutes depending on your database size.

To do this please follow this link here and if you have any more problems please let us know. I decided to post this here because a lot of discussions may confuse people on the best approach but i find this approach to be the best so far.

Hope this helps out!

SHOW MODULE TITLE PROBLEM IN CUSTOM JOOMLA TEMPLATE DESIGN

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 20:48:03 +0000

Again let’s call to your attention a little problem with Module title not showing after you have designed your own custom templates. Normally the basic joomla template tutorial which many would tend to follow would show you how to go about your template design but after designing you may find out that your modules do not show titles even for the fact that you have commanded it to do so in the joomla admin .

Normally you will get a code like this to display module ‘’, to get it to display module titles just replace it with this one ‘ ‘

Notice that the only thing added there is only ‘style=”xhtml” ‘
