Update
Hi all
Just an update and reason why i have not posted for ages.
I have been rather busy lately adding a new section to MyGazette and also setting up a new site which is dedicated to web design and ASP coding.
SEO and MyGazette
It’s been a few days since I have blogged, been busy working of various bits and pieces. My main task has been working on onsite optimisation of the MyGazette site.
Not knowing much about SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), I have spent a lot of time on various forums researching SEO techniques. The one thin I have learned is that SEO is a massive subject. There is lots of good advice on the Internet and its going to take a while to get it all sorted in my head.
AJAX a first look
I know this is in the ASP category but i have been looking at AJAX today, as AJAX can be used in most web scripting languages i thought i would put it here rather than creating a new category.
AJAX or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML is a group of inter-related web development techniques used for creating interactive and dynamic web applications. One of the advantages of using AJAX is the increased speed of execution, where as a normal dynamic web application has to re-load the entire page when an update of the information on the page is required, AJAX can be used to dynamically update just a portion of the page where the information changes.
AJAX is not a new programming language but a technique that allows you to create better, faster and more user friendly web applications.
Let's look at a short tutorial that gives an example of how AJAX can be used on a web page containing a form where users enter information.
Favicon.ico added to MyGazette
In the process of trying to reduce the number of 404 errors accumulating in the log files for MyGazette i have now added a favicon.ico to the site.
Looking through the log files i noticed a trend of 404 not found errors mostly coming from browsers trying to locate a favicon so i decided it was about time i added one.

Well were off to a good start, I set up this blog to try and answer questions but the first thing i do is ask a question. I will add any questions to this blog that i can't find the answers too and will eventually submit them to the Forest Blog writers to see what they have to say about them.
Read on for the questions and if you can answer them please feel free to post in the comments.
