Digg it UP - Notes for Newbies - Part Fifteen - Your Website
Now more than ever you need to take charge of your career! Our work environments are rapidly changing. Lifelong employment is a thing of the past and the threat of layoffs loom ahead. Organizations are now flatter with fewer management layers, which results in fewer promotional opportunities. Employees need to do more with less and become more flexible to quickly learn new skills and adapt to change. As a result employees need to own their development and actively manage their career in the midst of change.Now is a perfect time to assess your career and y
Do this: connect to the Internet then open any web page that comes to mind. In the toolbar at the top of your browser to the left you will see the word ‘view’. Click on it and look at the drop-down menu. Click on the word ‘source’, and what you see is the HTML code that generates the page you are viewing.
Now that you know what HTML looks like, forget it, you don’t have to know anything about HTML to build web pages.
If you want to build a webpage you need several things (we shall just list them here and discuss them in more detail in Article Sixteen): What Does Google Page Rank Do
The Google page rank is calculated with an algorithm that is calculated with incoming and outgoing links of the page. It is as the name suggests a ranking system of pages. Your page rank is decided on the number of different criteria, standalone keywords, keyword in URL, and reciprocal linking. The Page Rank is rendered on the number of one way links that report back to your site and go out to other sites, and the other websites page ranks. Like everything about google the formula for figuring out page rank is a mystery and Google will not reveal their code. Google p

Your website
With apologies in advance, we are going to have to get just a bit technical to discuss your website. I promise you it won’t be too scary.
Your website, your web pages are located on a bit of hardware called a ‘server’, and this server is operated – managed - by some people we call a ‘host’. There are many hosts around you may choose from (we shall talk about this in more detail in Article Sixteen).
Think of it this way: If you like to write, you spend a great deal of time in front of your PC writing whatever it is you write using Microsoft Word. Word is application software that sits on your computer and is available whenever you click on its icon and open it to use.
After you have written something, you save it as a file to your hard drive. You can then open it anytime you want either to edit it or simply read it using Microsoft Word as your application software.
Think of a server as a hard drive that sits in a building anywhere in the world, and is connected to your PC by your telephone line – your Internet connection. Then think of all the servers in the world as being connected to each other, again by telephone lines. Your web page is stored on your chosen host’s server just as your Word document is stored on your hard drive.
In exactly the same way you open Microsoft Word application software then open a Word document when you want to work on it – when you want to edit something you have written, you can ‘open’ a web page that is sitting on any server anywhere in the world. You do this by connecting to the Internet then opening the web page you want using the familiar www.anyname.com address.
The application software that makes this work sits on your PC and is called your ‘browser’. Everybody else connected to the Internet can view every web page in exactly the same way.
There is one important difference between your hard drive and a server, however. While you can edit your Word document on your PC, you cannot ‘edit’ web pages you view on the Internet – you can only read them.
(This is a simplification: you can, in fact, edit some web pages sometimes. You do this, for example, when you input your credit card details to order something. We shall discuss this complication in more detail in Article Eighteen.)
To make this amazing system work, and work as well as it does, users have decided to work with a standard programming language called HTML (don’t worry about what these letters mean).
Do this: connect to the Internet then open any web page that comes to mind. In the toolbar at the top of your browser to the left you will see the word ‘view’. Click on it and look at the drop-down menu. Click on the word ‘source’, and what you see is the HTML code that generates the page you are viewing.

“Signature service” is a term that I often use to represent something that is fresh and unique to a customer’s experience with your business. All companies have “signature products” that separate them from the rest of the pack, something that their competitor lacks. "Signature service" is just that. Customer service that is unique and special; that when a guest leaves your restaurant they scratch their heads and go “WOW”. That my friends, IS what I call “Signature Service”.Most customers when they come in a typical fast food restaurant don’t expect much i well as it does, users have decided to work with a standard programming language called HTML (don’t worry about what these letters mean).
