Hi folks,
Great set of presentations today. Let me try to repeat
here the set of things we covered:
1. If you want to continue developing/maintaining your pages, you might want to publicize them. Look at <http://ep.com/faq/webannounce.html> to see more info about how to do this.
2. Realize, however, that maintaining takes effort. There's "link rot" (the fact that many of your working links won't be working in the near future). There's the need to keep adding to your pages all the new stuff coming onto the web.
3. If you have a web form and decide NOT to keep looking at the results that people send with it, please disable the form. It would be a waste to have folks filling out your form if you're not going to look at the results.
4. Create links from each of your subpages back to other pages in your project. Some browsers don't have a "back" button. More importantly, some people will get to your pages using a search engine, rather than through your planned links.
5. Carefully choose your <title>'s , since many search engines base their searches on these.
6. If you have a "Updated" line at the bottom, remember to update them - somebody (who, fortunately, I can't remember) showed their project pages with an "Updated October 1995" line at the bottom. I HOPE that was not accurate. In any case, old "updated" dates will discourage your audience.
Again, thanks for creating such a great set of projects! Have a good winter break.
