admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:20:27 +0000

Your new year’s resolution may be to go on a diet. Here are some tips to put your HTML on a diet, improving load times and writing better code.

1. Use fewer files and directories

Every file is a separate call to the server.
Instead of using many small images you might consider using an imagemap.
Decrease the number of directory structure levels.

2. Limit your spacing

While we know that spaces in your code, as a rule, should not effect the layout, it does effect how it’s parsed. Decrease or eliminate the spaces between your lines of code.

3. Use relative addressing instead of absolute addressing.

Instead of using href=http://www.mydomain.com/images/pic1.jpg, use href=”../images/pic1.jpg”
To really speed things up use the tag in the like this: then use relative addressing in the rest of the page.

4. Use HTML to control spacing when possible

Instead of using a spacer.gif to manipulate space, try using for horizontal spacing and the
and
tags for vertical spacing.

5. Eliminate repetitive tags

This is something you’ll often find in pages created with point and click web applications (WYSIWYG HTML editors) for example:Hello World Welcome to my web page.
In this example the first and the second could be eliminated.

6. Eliminate attributes with default values

For example, you don’t need to use these:

7. Use short file names and directories

Instead of href=”../imagefiles/companylogos/advertisements.html try href=”../imgs/logos/ads.html

8. Use Cascading Style Sheets

Use CSS to position your content. It requires less code and you have more accurate control over layout.

9. Beware of WYSIWYG code trash

Many web authoring apps add their own proprietary code. FrontPage is notorious for this. Beware!!
Clean up your META tag. You don’t need the following info in your METAs:

10. Table Savvy

Avoid nesting tables. Rather than creating complex table layouts, use the attributes rowspan and colspan to control content layout.
If you can, fill empty table data cells with This weighs less than a spacer.gif.
Tables take time. Even if you need to use a table for some of your content, the entire page doesn’t have to be in a table.

The intent of these tutorials is to provide you a condensed source of information to get you started on your way to a successful career as an adult webmaster. Here you will find short, concise articles, references, and advice. Upon completion of these tutorials you should be proficient at HTML, know what application or web applet to use to complete a task, plan and develop adult websites for the soul purpose of generating income, and establish yourself as independent, successful business.

Now a word of caution. This is work. This is not to be taken lightly. You will not be building a single website. You will be building a hundred or hundreds of websites and webpages. You will need to be disciplined and organized in your time and your investment.

This is not a “get rich quick” business. The adult entertainment business
*is* business.

While it was possible years ago to slap a simple page together, publish it on the net, and get great traffic with great sales within a few months, it is no longer that way. It is not the case for any internet based business. The economy, the competition, the sheer number of sites on the net makes your job, as a webmaster, a continual challenge.

You must be willing to commit to long hours of coding, managing your traffic, managing your sponsors, and an endless list of other various tasks. But in the end, if you truly put forth the effort, it will pay off… just like any other business. This is a career. This is a job. It is up to you to make it successful. It is your future, in your hands, we will provide you with the knowledge, the kickstart, …. but you are the one that will make it all happen.
