The rel=”nofollow” attribute on links is very usefull. Additionally nofollow in robots can be usefull. They should not be confused with eachother.

The rel=”nofollow” description below is courtesy of robotstxt.org

The rel=”nofollow” is an attribute you can set on an HTML <a> link tag, invented by Google, and adopted by others. Those links won’t get any credit when Google ranks websites in the search results, thus removing the main incentive behind blog comment spammers robots.

See Preventing comment spam on the Official Google Blog.

From that description it sounds like it only affects the ranking, and the Google robot may still follow the links and index them. If so, it is different from the robots meta tag NOFOLLOW semantics.

Additionally, the below is courtesy of robotstxt.org too

<html>
<head>
<title>...</title>
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
</head>
There are two important considerations when using the robots <META> tag:

robots can ignore your <META> tag. Especially malware robots that scan the web for security vulnerabilities, and email address harvesters used by spammers will pay no attention.

the NOFOLLOW directive only applies to links on this page. It’s entirely likely that a robot might find the same links on some other page without a NOFOLLOW (perhaps on some other site), and so still arrives at your undesired page.

Now, get using nofollow links!

Across my sites, I try to use a common file structure. I even make sure that applications I decide to install or use use this file structure to some extent and if they dont use it, I dont use that application and write my own or find another. Simple.

A common site structure is necassary in terms of the site shell and the generated content the site produces (HTML/CSS/JS etc…).

In terms of a site structure, here is one that I tend to try to find and use from a developers point of view. A site structure like the one listed below will help to maintain the site, address problems and ensure that each site component is individual from another.

I’ve seen in some sites something that really caught my eye. It’s a bar that emulates the warning bar that IE displays when they want to give us some kind of warning. It caughts my eye because I use Firefox. =)

It looked like a good way to caughts users eye because they tend to pay attention to those warnings, so this is the way we can drive our users attention to whatever topic we want.

So let’s start this tutorial.

Sometimes we are so interested in the content of a webpage, to people like me with a really bad memory is a good idea to print a webpage so I we can see it later. There are times when we can just copy and paste the information in Word and then print it, but even then there are a lot of unuseful things in the text (links, images, etc.). So I ask myself, why don’t we make a website that is easy to print? Well, here’s how.

DooBDee.net is currently in the progress of porting the free phpBB3 styles to free wordpress themes. Hopefully all styles and colour schemes on the free phpbb3 styles page will soon be ported to free wordpress themes (with matching colour schemes).

Permission has been gained through the original creator of the phpBB themes to allow them to be ported and distributed on DooBDee.net for download:

“Sure, you can do that. “

Currently, only the AcidTech wordpress theme and its colour schemes are available and are being tested for bugs before I release other ports from ST Software.

Please post any comments or bugs you may have in the new releases support forum which is newly available, providing dedicated support to items and releases on DooBDee.net. Thanks!
