Here is its URL for dragtable: http://www.danvk.org/wp/dragtable/

Some websites using “[at]” to replace “@” and email will look as “name [at] domain.com”. This is a good idea for personal websites since nobody challenge you. In commercial, many clients wouldn’t allow you to use “name [at] domain.com” this format. They are not web designer and they don’t understand how spam prevention works, or even care for that matter.

I have this method originally from david walsh blog. Its author have a quick PHP script that you can use when putting raw email addresses on a page:

The Function

function encode_email($e)
{
	for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($e); $i++) { $output .= '&#'.ord($e[$i]).';'; }
	return $output;
}

Usage

echo(encode_email('email@office-it.org'));

The above function takes a string input (the email address), loops through each character replacing the letter with the character’s ASCII value, and returns the encoded email address. That’s all you need to do!

Another method (much simple) is found at SOLMETRA. It is a tiny JavaScript code which will encode email for you.

The disadvantage for second method is if you have a page with hundreds of addresses, the page download will be bloated.

I am not guarantee methods above is bulletproof solution, but it is, at least, a basic protection.

Email Office-it.orG

However, they are not always know that they can include subject, CC, BCC, and email body text information in the link as well. By using a querystring-like syntax, we can do more with that simple link.

Example code to add the subject:

Email Office-it.orG

Example code to add the cc’s and bcc’s:

Email Office-it.orG

Example code to add some default body text

Email Office-it.orG

Demo Email Link:
Email Office-it.orG

However, you should remember that simply placing email addresses on a page without encoding them first is like simply emailing spammers your email address. I will write some posts regarding email encoder soon. Please refer here for how to prevent spam bots from collecting email addresses.

We should set up a permanent redirect (technically called a “301 redirect”) between these sites. Once we do that, we will get full search engine credit for our work on these sites.

301 redirect is useful too for search engines which may think, for example, www.office-it.org and office-it.org are two different sites. Let say, www.office-it.org seems to have 5 inbound links whereas office-it.org has 6 inbound links. By correctly configuring a permanent 301 redirect, the search rankings might improve as all inbound links are correctly counted for the website.

What is 301 redirect?

301 redirect is the best method to preserve our current search engine rankings when redirecting web pages or a web site. The code “301″ is interpreted as “moved permanently”. If we have to change file names or move pages around, it’s the safest option.

Below are a couple of methods to implement URL Redirection.

IIS Redirect
1. In internet services manager, right click on the file or folder we wish to redirect
2. Select the radio titled “a redirection to a URL”
3. Enter the redirection page
4. Check “The exact url entered above” and the “A permanent redirection for this resource”
5. Click on ‘Apply’

ColdFusion Redirect

<.cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently">
<.cfheader name="Location" value="http://www.new-url.com">

PHP Redirect

ASP Redirect

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location","http://www.new-url.com/"
%>

ASP .NET Redirect

JSP (Java) Redirect

<%
response.setStatus(301);
response.setHeader( "Location", "http://www.new-url.com/" );
response.setHeader( "Connection", "close" );
%>

CGI PERL Redirect

$q = new CGI;
print $q->redirect("http://www.new-url.com/");

Ruby on Rails Redirect

def old_action
headers["Status"] = "301 Moved Permanently"
redirect_to "http://www.new-url.com/"
end

Redirect Old domain to New domain (htaccess redirect)

Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all directories and pages of our old domain will get correctly redirected to our new domain. The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of our old website (i.e the same directory where our index file is placed)

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Please REPLACE www.newdomain.com in the above code with our actual domain name.

In addition to the redirect we would suggest that you contact every backlinking site to modify their backlink to point to your new website.

Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.

Redirect to www (htaccess redirect)

Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to www.domain.com
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of our old website (i.e the same directory where our index file is placed)

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Please REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with our actual domain name.

Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.

Some web designers may not have fully knowledge to master CSS, and many of us are good enough with little bit of brushing and designing in PhotoShop. Now, I found a great website, PSD to CSS Online, which provide free service to convert PhotoShop creations into CSS pages online.

Although this tool may not appeal to big shot designer because they know CSS. It will for sure useful for those who know PhotoShop but do not know CSS. Try it out for your very own unique webpage and even template!
