Some of you may have read my previous article about MyPH.us right here. Well, I’ve got more good news, MyPH.us is getting even better. Here are a few new features that may convince you that MyPH.us isn’t just a basic image host that should be glanced at and then left alone:

  • Developer tools. An IFrame allows website developers to place a small code in their website that allows users to upload images directly to MyPH.us for quick use on their website. This is especially great for forums!
  • Firefox plugin. This plug-in allows a user to simply right-click on an image and tell it to upload to MyPH.us. It takes just a second and doesn’t require the user to copy and paste links and take time browsing to MyPH.us. The uploaded image is opened in a new tab for quick reference.
  • A sleek new layout. You don’t want to waste time looking at excessive, decorative graphics. And a fast page load time is much more important anyways. MyPH.us has been redesigned to not waste time and effort so you can simply upload you images and videos.
  • That’s right, I said videos. MyPH.us now accepts videos up to 100MB. All the popular formats are accepted. Video length and resolution is not limited, except by the 100MB cap. Videos are generally accepted by moderators within a few hours.
  • Minimal ads. You aren’t trying to get bombarded with ads when you go to upload your images and videos. And we aren’t trying to get rich quick. Ads are as limited as possible and are unobstrusive. There’s no clicking and hoping that the link is what you want and not an ad.
  • Bigger image sizes. 3MB just didn’t seem like enough, so now you can upload images up to 5MB.
  • No passwords to forget. It’s still free. And better than that, it still requires no registration. Just upload it, share, come back for more. No need to scratch down another password to forget.

So, as you can see, MyPH.us has done nothing but improve. We may not be name brand with a large community (yet), but we’re definitely worth thinking about.

Stop by and have a look anything at http://MyPH.us

With the inclusion of ActionScript, Flash Development work and especially, Flash game development has leased with a new dimension. What requires in this field is a logical and creative mind with lots patience and inclinations towards minute details. The ease of deployment, zero installation requirements and cross-platform compatibility immensely helped in popularizing Flash games.

Flash ActionScript is a proprietary scripting language (similar to JavaScript) developed by Adobe. The latest version of ActionScript 3.0 is now shipped with Flash CS3 where the Object-Oriented programming concept is extensively used.

Flash game development (though sounds exciting!) is comparatively complicated and intensive of all ActionScript developments. Before starting the actual game development the Flash designer should create the story-line covering the scenes, characters, scoring, play mechanism and the required graphics (the character motions and other objects).

With the Flash Player and Flex SDK (supplied by Adobe), one can easily start game design in Flash. The Flex SDK is a free tool which can be downloaded from Adobe’s website. Flex is a combination of the GUI and the ActionScript code. The GUI is contained in an MXML file (a XML file with user interface elements nested in HTML-like tags) which can also contain the ActionScript in a mx:Script tag.

The mx:Application tag is the top level tag of an MXML file. This Application object is the entry point for the Flex application where width, height, framerate, function to notify the creation of Application, function to notify the screen redrawing action are set.

Once the Application is initiated the mx:Script tag is used to write the ActionScript code for the actual game processing. Here, the GUI part is connected with each phase of the game. The game loop, user’s inputs and program parameters are set as per the game storyline and also the related audio files are attached.

Once the program is complete, it is complied and finally sent for testing.

Do you have a website? How often are you updating it? If the answer to that question is “a long time ago” or something similar, you are bound to have an out of date website. Not only will customers notice this and leave your site quickly, your overall search engine rankings may also go down as Google and other search engines will spider your site less regularly and rank it lower.

What is the key to having an updated website?

Updating a website can be a lot of effort. You may have to contact your web designer, email the changes, potentially correct the changes and then pay for them! Or you may need to ask your in house web master. If it is difficult, expensive or time-consuming to update your website, you will not do it and your website will be less effective. So what are the factors to keep in mind when you are trying to find a content management solution?

* It needs to be easy

This is essential. If it’s all too hard and complicated you will never do it. This means that you will need a solution that is very easy to learn and implement.

* It needs to be low cost

If you have to pay every time you want to update your website or ask someone else you will think twice about doing it. You may catch yourself thinking: “Is this update really necessary?” Is it worth spending the money on this?”. Only free updates will ensure that you will update the site whenever you feel a need or have some interesting information to share.

* It needs to look professional

The last thing you want to do is downgrade your professional website with your updates. It is important that the website keeps its professional look and feel even if you are updating it. Therefore the system needs to be of a certain quality with styles already applied so that all you need to do is type in the text and add images.

* It needs to be search engine friendly

This is a very important point as for many business as high search engine positions are critical to your business success. So you will need to make sure that the content management system you choose for your website is easy to optimise for search engines with unique page titles and description and keywords tags.

Your options

You will need to get a website that is easy to update with the use of a content management system ( CMS ). Here are some of the possibilities:

  1. The best option is to have an in built content management system. This lets you easily update your website within a browser so you can update your website at any time and at any place. You can have several user accounts so various people from your company can update certain parts of the website. The best content management systems also come with a blog. It is a good practice to put headlines or short summaries of your blog on the front page so that your homepage will be frequently updated. This lets Google and other search engines know that there is frequent updated content and that your site is current and active and therefore needs to rank higher in search engines. A CMS is usually the easiest the use of the options mentioned here. Make sure you use an SEO friendly CMS though.
  2. Another option is to build your website around a blog application like Wordpress. Although Wordpress was initially created as blog software it is increasingly used as a CMS and can be very effective for business websites. Using Wordpress takes a little more training and can be slightly less flexible than a good in built CMS.
  3. You can use software like Adobe Contribute to update a static site. Although relatively easy to use, it has a few disadvantages as it can be tricky to create and link to new pages. Another disadvantage is that you would not be able to edit your site on every computer.

Good luck with your website and make sure you keep it up to date!
