If you have been on the Web for some time now, I am sure you have been faced with a situation where you wish your website was not mentioned in another website, or linked from it. The reasons may be many... http://www.excellentsite.org/tut_rss.php RSS is a method of distributing links to content in your web site that you'd like others to use. In other words, it's a mechanism to "syndicate" your content. With RSS feeds you can read and display third-party content in any news aggregator or at your own pages, and generate RSS feeds (news, for instance) that can be read elsewhere. http://www.excellentsite.org/tut_hboxes.php Trying to find an alternative to popup windows with additional info, I have seen this approach at Microsoft... it used Javascript and CSS to hide and display blocks of text in a page. As one should expect, it only worked in Internet Explorer.

Tested with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla and Opera. To see how the images change randomly every time the page is loaded, load the PHP rotator example page and hit Refresh in your browser as many times as you like. http://www.excellentsite.org/tut_gallery.php Whenever creating image galleries, I have always tried to create a gallery of thumbnails that, when clicked, open the corresponding image in its full size and quality. The ideal would be to have one "template" that would display a given image, when "clicked" from the thumbnails gallery. I have tried a technique involving passing variables by URL and Javascript. http://www.excellentsite.org/tut_icra.php An attempt to explain how to label a site. Getting the green light at the ICRA Label Tester can be a difficult task... http://www.excellentsite.org/tut_p3p.php Using P3P, an organization posts on its Web site an XML-formatted (machine-readable) privacy policy describing its privacy practices, including the type of information collected, how the information is used, and who has access to the information. Although it seems complicated it is rather simple to put one of these in place. Just follow the steps!
