Since the profile page is the only place you can display your particular branding, it also applies that this is the only place to say anything more than a regular tweet. Outside of changing around the link and text colors, the best one can hope for is to place your branding and message in the background image you use…but, there are a multitude of ways to do this effectively and create an impact.

We’re going to give you a few hints here to help you create an outstanding appearance without a lot of hassle. First we’ll discuss the page dimensions and general layout.

What You Can Change: Text, link, side bar background color, side bar border color, background image or color.

What You Can’t Change: Twitter logo, timeline, menu bar, and footer bar backgrounds, background image starting point.

Sizes: The main timeline block will always have a white background, and is 765 pixels wide. The entire page is 1280 pixels wide, and you will not be able to center your pic. The pic will be aligned to the top left corner.

Background Strategies

When you pick your background you can include special messages, logos, or patterns that could give your visitors more information about you. But, in this aspect be careful…as some designs incorporate underlines, and colors similar to the link colors on your profile page. These can easily confuse the visitor and leave them wondering why they couldn’t click on the link and should be avoided if at all possible.

Here are a few more design ideas.

Merge Background: Merge the background you create into the timeline/sidebar. There are several ways to do this. See the example below.

Personal Sidebar: You can add an impromptu sidebar. But be careful here, don’t putout too much information, and try to avoid it looking like one of the other links.

Icons, Pics, and Logos: Personal pics, company logos, the corporate icon…all, great ideas. Just remember to keep as much of the pic as you can in the 130 pixels on the right or left that you are afforded.

The more interesting and engaging this customization is the more effective it will be in creating a stir in the community you are communicating to. Branding is important, and customizations of this kind, while simple to incorporate, will create a stir among the visitors…when used properly. The personalization will place your Twitter profile in peoples memory, and that’s where you need to be.

Branding your site requires more than just putting your name on the top of a webpage, then uploading a bunch of pics. There is a lot of work that is done in the background for the professional photographers that have the most success using SmugMug. Getting complete control of the content on each of the pages and galleries that you create requires a lot of CSS coding, app integration, and just plain getting your site to display your work the way you want it.

Another new feature is the new password reset system. Unlike in the past, the new password reset feature only requires you to go through two easy steps. Incase you forget you password; all you have to do is click on the ‘Forgot Password’ option and key in your email address. Immediately, a link will be sent to your inbox. The link will in turn redirect you to your new password hence the log-in page. It is as easy as ABC!

The other very important new feature that has been introduced to the Magento system is the introduction of a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Common sense dictates that you will obviously plan on selling your product at a lower price. The feature works in such a way that it gets to hide the original price of the product in some sort of catalogue. Therefore, all you get to see during a purchase is the MSRP. In order to configure your Magneto to enable this feature, all you have to do is configure your settings from System to Configuration to Sales and finally to Minimum Advertised Price.  As you can see, working with Magento was never as easy as it is now.

Before the Revolution…

Berners-Lee brought the concept of using hyperlinks to navigate from one page to another in 1989. He proposed the theme of World Wide Web along with another scientist Robert Cailliau. In 1990, Geneva, Berners-Lee used a NeXT computer as the first web server of the world and within 1990, he made all tools for working well on web.

Web 1.0

Berners-Lee also stretched his hand by uploading Les Horribles Cernettes (image of famous CERN girls) on web which is regarded as the first uploaded image on web. But the web needed lot more improvement. In 1993, the web finally became public. Early browsers like Mosaic, Cello, Netscape Navigator came into existence. Gradually, the beta version of world’s first search engine (Google.com) was launched. Also in early 1990s, graphics based online services like PlayNET, Prodigy, MSN, and Quantum Link were developed. Bookmarking was one of the features of web 1.0.

By the middle to end of 90’s decade, entrepreneurs felt enthusiastic about the web’s immense opportunities. Business people headed towards web to gain profit. The initial rush for investing in web was huge resulting formation of dot-com bubble. However, this meteoric rise of dot-com investment did not last long. It just ‘burst’ as many companies encountered huge losses due to bulk initial investment with no return.

The rise of Web 2.0 concept

Many people thought that W3 was less opportunistic when dot-com bubble burst. This changed the perceptions about web. Web at that point needed a boost to go on further.

The term “Web 2.0″ was coined in January 1999 by Darcy DiNucci, a consultant on electronic information design. The concept came into existence at a conference of brainstorming sessions between O’Reilly and MediaLive International. Participants in the conference agreed to the fact that web can have more information sharing, more funny applications and more features.

This resulted most interactive, innovated and user-friendly websites on web. Participation and Information sharing became the key for web 2.0 . Several social networking sites, photo / audio / video uploading & sharing sites, portals, forums, blogging, chatting came into existing under web 2.0 era. Also, searching, tagging, web based marketing got a new hype.

Also, design perceptions got changed also. Visually appealing graphics, new page elements, strong colors, animated graphics just started to dominate every site. Designers got their own space on web.

Is Web 2.0 over yet?

Web 2.0 elements have still strong existence on web. But many believes that web 3.0 or ‘beyond web 2.0 concept’ is just knocking the doorstep? Fiction, eh? Well, actually not. Web analysts think that web beyond 2.0 will be more person centric and focusing on individual lifestream & behavior. The web content will be more dynamically changing; widgets, drag & drop elements will improve the user interfaces of web. Semantic web has come as a utopic vision (say, web of data) that might change our perception about present web.

And who knows, the combination of web, computer and mobile will lead us to another revolution? Whatever future awaits for web, we might not forget to say a big thank you to Tim Berners-Lee on the occasion of 20^th anniversary of world wide web.

Follow these steps to add WordPress posts in blog section of your website:

Creating Blog folder

Suppose we have a site named QuadraInstitute.com ( URL: http://www.quadrainstitute.com/ ).  Assuming that there is no blog section in the site, we shall create one such section. We shall go to the root of our site and create a sub-directory (folder) there named ‘blog’. So, the URL path of our blog section will be: http://www.quadrainstitute.com/blog

Adding PHP code Header

By the way, your site should be based on PHP pages because, WordPress codes are written in PHP. Two code snippets can be given that you have to place on top of each page:

Code Snippet 1:
<?php
/* comments goes here */

define('WP_USE_FLAG', false);               //define constant and its value

require_once('/wp-blog-header.php');                //include the file once

?>

Code Snippet 2:

<?php

require_once('path/wp-blog-header.php');            //include the file once

?>

Loop

WordPress has a way to display each of your blog post. This feature is called Loop. Whatever HTML or PHP code you add within the Loop, will be repeated for each page. The following things are generally written within a loop:

Title (title())

Time (time())

Categories (category())

Example of a really simple Loop for generating the WordPress posts into your blog page can be done with this code:

<?php
get_header();    // function for getting header function
if (is_posts()) : // whether comment is posted
while (have_posts()) : //if there is any post, then continue loop
the_post();
the_posted_content();        //posted message
endwhile;              //end the loop
endif;                    //end the if statement
get_sidebar();            //function for getting sidebar
get_footer();             //function for footer sidebar
?>

Generating a list

Now, we are going to generate a list with posted data, title and excerpt, you have to apply the following code:

<?php
Require_once('path/wp-blog-header.php');    //include the file once
?>
<?php
// code for generating a list with posted data, title and excerpt
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=post_title');
foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php the_date(); echo "<br />"; ?>         //for date through loop function
<?php the_title(); ?>      //for title through loop function
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>   // for excerpt through loop function 
<?php
endforeach;
?>

For generating the last four posts on the list, you have to use this code snippet:

// Integrating the last four posts on your blog
<?php
Require_once('path/wp-blog-header.php');    //include the file once
?>
<?php query_posts('showposts=4'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php endwhile;?>

You will be amazed when four posts will be shown from WordPress to your blog. That is where we end now. Hope, you’ll face no problem putting these codes on your web page and to have WP posts integrated on your blog page.

Is it only Google’s brand name for which the mobile world is so enthusiastic about Android application development? Possibly not. The Android has its own advantageous features and brand value for which it is standing out of the clutter of mobile applications development platforms.

The reasons behind Google Android’s market popularity and business value are described below:

Open source: Google Android application development comes under open source platform. Apps for Android can be developed by any individual or a group of mobile application developers. You can get sample code, tutorials, and technical articles from Android’s official site. And there is a developer’s community and Google’s support to develop apps for Android. You will get a detailed guide about how to install Android SDK after you have installed JDK and Eclipse. From this guide, any developer can start building his own Android application. So, the open source software development platform, complete assistance and ease of mobile application development have helped Google Android to gain attention of mobile critiques and enthusiasts.

Java: Android applications are compiled in javac compiler and all coding is done in Java language for application Android. Java, originally developed by Sun Microsystems, is one of the most strong computer languages for today. There are many expert programmers in Java. Since, Android coding is built in Java, most of the Java developers feel interested to develop some applications for Android. In this way, Android has grabbed quick attention among many developers.

Free APP Market: Most mobile application development has its own market or application store. Like all iPhone’s applications can be sold through iPhone’s own App Store only. But Google Android applications have an open market. You can sell your Android apps in Google’s own ‘android market’ store or else, you can sell it to other Android application store. Google has given you freedom to market your Android apps to any Android store where you can gain maximum profit.

Linux based: Android is based on the Linux version 2.6 and that gives access to core mobile device features and to develop powerful mobile applications.
