Been a few days...

So I realize its been a few days sense I last posted. But I promise Ill have something to post soon. I am currently working on a entry/vote contest for GetMarried.com. Once I am done with this ill have some more to write about. It is utilizing some CSS3 tricks along with JavaScript to animate portions of it.

Along with this I am working on a small side project that will create sitemaps and even give detailed reports on your site. I have built the crawler portion, but thinking I am going to minimize the sitemaping element so I can make it for free. While I will make the reporting parts a paid element.

The voting system is pretty simple and straight forward. It will allow members to register and have people vote for them. They upload a photo that is resized to try and fit a 385x385 dimensions and then cropped to fit a 70x70. Along with this they also are required to enter a description as to why they should win the contest. After entering all this they will then be able to "review" their entry and then approve it. Once live they can then submit it to several different social networks to notify their friends to vote for them.

Voting systems unfortunately introduce several problems that ill write about in my upcomming article about this. Until then ill keep it short.

Secondly the crawler I have created crawls a site that you specifiy and will crawl all internal pages and external pages "only the link provided not the entire site.." It will save all this data and the relationships it produces into a MySQL database that can then be evaluated. I plan on it giving detailed information in the future such as:

  1. Duplicate Title tags, and Duplicate meta descriptions.
  2. Crawl times
  3. Redirect counts
  4. Keyword checking (Will reference your keywords with keywords on the page...)
  5. And several other items...

This project is some what of a side project so its probably going to be a little bit before I complete it.

Ill be writing more on these soon. The voting ill be writing on it sometime this week after its finished.
