When the time has come, I decided to take few weeks off work and treat myself a different life – doing things I wanted to do and the most importantly is to be near to my GF ;)
It’s been nearly 3 years now since I started working on all e-commerce website which use Tradingeye platform, there is no doubt that tradingeye is very stable and flexible system especially its template system PHPLIBS (more here) so easy to work with. However, phplibs was first built in 2001 and the latest version was out in 2002..Sadly, there is no other version released since then :(
I have recently worked on brand new Web 2.0 e-commerce platform – Prestashop (open source). It has come to my attention that it uses Smarty template to offer template files separated from programming language (PHP).
In the next couple of weeks, I will try to finish all existing projects and get my head in Smarty, jQuery and Prestashop.
I will be posting some tutorial about few images gallery using jQuery as well.
Do you want your own website? Of course you do. Whether you have a growing business, are trying to establish a brand or just want to have a presence on the Web, a quality website is essential. To the uninitiated, though, building your own website may seem just as daunting as building a house. It doesn’t have to be, though. Here are some tips on how to start a website.
How to Start a Website: Get a Domain Name
You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but first impressions mean a lot. The first experience most people will have with your website is hearing your domain name. Try to choose a domain name that is distinctive, easy to remember and easy to spell. You should also try to think of a domain name that clearly says what you do. WeSellHinges.com is a good domain name for a hinge-selling company. SwingingAids.com is not. Once you’ve chosen your domain name, you’ll need to register it. GoDaddy is probably the most popular domain name registrar today, but ICANN, NetworkSolutions and others are also available. 
How to Start a Website: Hosting
Once you have settled on a domain name, you’ll need someone to do your web hosting. You have some choices when it comes to web hosting, so you don’t want to make this decision lightly. Whichever company you go with, you’ll probably want to start with a shared hosting plan. These plans only cost a few dollars a month because you share room on a server with others. There is no overlap between the sites. The other entities on the server you share space with do not have access to your site. As you get more advanced, you may want a plan that gives you more control of the server.
How to Start a Website: Design
You can get a professional to design your site or you can design it yourself. There are a number of programs, such as DreamWeaver, that you can use to create websites. When creating your website, try to think about appearance, functionality and ease of use. It is best when people want to come to your website and stay there. The design is where you start to make that all happen.

Back in Sep 2008 I created a small plugin for Tradingeye v5 which allows system generate the sitemap.xml and urllist.txt file on the fly.
Few people have contacted and asked for the release of new version, so here you are ;D. This version (v2.00) will includes image urls in the sitemap and fixing a small bug on .htaccess file.
XML Sitemap plugin for tradingeye and uk2 ecommerce is absolutely free, so your feedback is much appreciated!
Previous version (v1.00) with the instruction and description can be found here!
Just came across this article by “Torrance Design”.
Over the past year, we have been researching and testing the effects of markup hierarchy making a difference in search engine results. What I mean by markup hierarchy is that we want the unique and rich content to be at the highest point in the markup.
After several tests and reviews, we did see some improvements in search engine rankings as Chris Casarez (SEO Specialist at the Company) mentions in his article “Content Placement and Keyword Density matter“. The important aspect here is to move what the search engines loves to crawl to a higher point on the markup.
Although this is not recommended for every site out there, a lot of ecommerece sites with heavy headers and side columns may want to look into this technique to see if it has any positive effects on their rankings.
