As we wind down the course in Web Design 101, some attention should be paid to scripting languages. Scripts are nothing more than programming code (software) that allows Web pages to become both more interactive as well as dynamic. Though it really isn’t necessary for most IMers to learn much if any scripting, it’s still a pretty good idea to get an appreciation of the power they possess and in what circumstances you might want to employ scripts.

The first order of business is to distinguish between the two types of scripts:

• Server-side scripts
• Client-side scripts

It’s been a while since I posted about anything to do with Google Slaps. I’m sure anyone that does anything at all with Adwords has grown pretty weary of the whole thing and just numbly accepts it as inevitable. However, I think now is a good time to revisit this most unpleasant of topics and see if anything has changed in Google’s position and more importantly, to see if there are any lessons to be learned.

An aspect of Web site design and construction that I don’t often see discussed, at least in IM circles, is graphic design concepts. I find this kind of strange. After all, we are dealing with things like shape, balance, color all in 2 dimensions. I suppose that no one eager to start earning money online really wants to hear that they need to take a course in Graphic Design 101.

Actually, I did take a course in graphic design many years ago. In fact, I took a few courses in it along with courses in drawing, painting, sculpture, and art history. Four years worth. I was a painting major my first time through college and obviously that didn’t stick.

I’ve been using the BayRSS plugin from Azlan Kasim for several months now, both here on IMMania.com as well as on several niche affiliate blogs. This is a fantastic WP plugin and has worked for me without a hitch. My approach to using the eBay affiliate program, now called ePN since the migration in-house by eBay, is to rapidly blast-test products from eBay using Adwords and then breakout the winners into WP blogs to leverage longer term free traffic.

Gotta love that free traffic!

I posted recently about how I was attempting to get my brother interested in trying his hand at making some part time money online. The first hurdle in this effort was to persuade him to take the laptop I had purchased on eBay back home with him. That actually turned out to be the easy part.

The harder part was seeing if he would actually find a way to connect the thing to the Net.
