Useful resources for working with the site, I would like to highlight the main ones and tell them in a more accessible language. For those who are starting to master website building and those who are actively managing their resources.

I'll start with images and texts. For free icons and the like, go to flaticon , a large format can be found on  freepik . Compression can be done with a simple drag-and-drop in  tinypng , and resizing can be conveniently done with imageresizer . For those who are too lazy to install and understand the free program xnview .

For those who find it difficult to write essays, you can c ... Read more »

I once wrote about what needs to be done to place company reviews from Google Maps on the website. That is, my business comes from the service. Times are changing and the elfsight website has stopped working. I started looking for an alternative, I don’t understand why Google developers themselves didn’t implement this for their users.

Since there was an order of magnitude less of everything back then, by taking the description from Wikipedia and redoing it a little, you could almost immediately get to the top of the search results. 

What to photograph and how to add? Let's start with the fact that any image, if it is present on a search resource, must be well labeled and described. That is, the name of the photo and its description. And the gallery module in normal systems allows you to do just this. 

A striking example is my friends, plumbers from Chicago, for whom I recently created a website. Now they are very surprised that t ... Read more »

Novice webmasters are sometimes surprised that the code does not want to work. Although at first glance everything is done correctly. What could be the mistake, he recently overlooked and remembered, had fun and decided to write. For example, the apostrophe character ' is often used in the site code, it also occurs in the language. How to avoid making a mistake. When repeating the same, something will not be closed, which means it will not work correctly. Although in normal content management systems, the code editor does highlighting. 

All you need to do is find it  and paste the HTML code & # 3 9 ;  (spaces between the characters specifically so that it does not appear here) Another similar thing concerns the " double quote & # 3 4 ;   which is often found in the site code. And in the d ... Read more »
