Is it a Good Idea to Use WordPress vs HTML?

Personally. I much prefer standard html sites vs WordPress sites. However, with that said, I must say a well designed WP site certainly can look great and be successful. Blogs and forums in particular do extremely well using WordPress where richness of features and live user interactivity are highly desired features, but with that said, I still like HTML vs Woprdpress by far for making “regular” (non-blog non-forum) new sites.

After working for years with regular html before using WordPress at first I found the WordPress learning curve to be huge and taking vast amounts of time. One of the toughest aspects was the look and feel of a WP site which is difficult to control and tricky to modify vs much easier to change html sites. Heavy spam or bot posts of WP sites are also a negative issue which is always looming but that is not a big problem involving standard html sites.

In addition, I do not think WordPress security is that good judging by some WP sites I know being hacked in the past. Speaking of security, the ongoing need to frequently update the version number is also an unwanted hassle, especially since the automatic upgrade capacity can and does sometimes fail.

In fact, you always need to worry your old WP version may not be fully compatible with the latest version and if not your site will go down when the upgrade fails and the old site will then stop functioning due to the upgrade failure. Been there and done that too. Even backups are a big hassle since there are extra steps involved to copy the data base but with standard html the database can be easily copied using simple FTP at the same time as regular htm files, with no other steps needed.

As far as search engine optimization is concerned I suspect WP and HTML are roughly equal in that regard. However, with that said, it’s much easier to do search engine verifications with html sites since it can be quite confusing trying to determine where the needed search engine verification codes are inserted into WordPress sites (because of the .php file names and confusing directory and folder structure, but with HTML and .htm files that’s all quite basic by comparison.

In my opinion, a big reason WordPress is so popular are the vast numbers of people who say they are WP programmers and designers (it must be easy to become one), or sell products that only work with WP, including many web-developer special offers and Clickbank products. Recently I decided to NOT buy several excellent sounding new developent site offers and programs since they were offered or designed only for WordPress and I was reluctant to add more WP sites no matter how good the offer sounds.

As a test, just ask a WordPress minisite developer, site designer or seller to help with some simple and basic modifications to your old html website and you will likely learn he/she can not do the job, no matter how basic it may be. Been there and done that. In fact, some of the things I wanted a bit of help or advice with from my WordPress developers or designers were real basic which I ended up doing myself, and I am far from being good with programming.

Many Famous Men Are 33rd Degree Freemasons

Been researching Freemasonry lately. One of the most interesting things about becoming a free mason is freemasons saying “a man should never enter freemason fraternity in anticipation of making business connections or for any other sort of professional or monetary gain. If he does, he will be badly disappointed. Instead, he will find a group of like-minded men, who are willing to treat him as a brother and share in a deep and rewarding fellowship with him.

He will find true friends and life-long companions. We expect men who petition for freemason membership to be good but not necessarily perfect men. We know all men have limitations and weaknesses. The freemason symbol pictured below is mysterious to the public as far as what it means and its origin.

Making money and businenss connection is definately not welcome by freemasons. Instead, they say a primary purpose of Freemasonry is the ongoing development of the Mason as an ethical, honest, moral, caring, sincere and charitable man, learning about his own potential as a human being and developing his intellectual and spiritual character.

We just finished a small website about the 33rd degree mason level which I believe is the highest level possible.

Some very famous men have or are freemssona (mostly 33rd degree masons) including: Bill Clinton (Senior Demolay; Newt Gingrich, 33rd Degree Freemason; Bob Dole, 33rd Degree Freemason; Jack Kemp, 33rd Degree Freemason; Storm Thurmond; 33rd Degree Freemason, Colin Powell, 33rd Degree Freemason; U.S. Secretary of State; Jesse Helms, 33rd Degree Freemason; Barry Goldwater, 33rd Degree Freemason; W.D. Gann, 33rd Degree Freemason, Famous Stocks & Commodities Trader; Al Gore, Freemason; and many US Presidents including: George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, Warren Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George Bush

Website Links/Ads Don’t Give Court Jurisdiction

A recent decision by United States District Court in Missouri clarified an important distinction regarding jurisdictional issues within internet law about intrenet law jurisdictional issues. The Federal Court entered judgment in favor of the defendant, a Costa Rican software company, finding no personal jurisdiction.

The Federal Court decision hinged upon the nature of the software company’s hyperlinks on its website. The District Court held the defendants website, which was passive, but linked to inter-active sites, did not provide the requisite minimum contacts to satisfy personal jurisdiction because the company did not control the target sites.

In the USA, for a court to enter a legally valid judgment against a person, the court must first have personal jurisdiction over that person. An out of state defendant cannot be subject to personal jurisdiction if that defendant has not had a sufficient amount of “minimum contact” with the state where jurisdiction is claimed. A defendant must purposely “reach in,” to that state in order to be sued there legally.

In the context of the internet, the prevailing trend by courts is to rule that jurisdiction is proper when the defendant maintains a website that is interactive in nature, and/or a site which gives users an opportunity to conduct business or otherwise provide input to the website.

This means that a person operating an interactive website opens themselves to jurisdiction in any state from which the website receives visitors. Whereas maintaining a passive website, one which merely displays information for the user to peruse, i.e. a blog, is not sufficient to establish minimum contacts. However, the question in this case turned on what the determination should be when a passive website displays links/advertisements for interactive sites?

The court in this case answered that question by ruling that the third-party target sites were irrelevant to the minimum contacts analysis. Jurisdiction should turn on the company’s purposeful activities, rather than uncertain and immeasurable ties between the company and the third party’s online contacts with the state.

The court stated, “The activity of those hyperlinked websites supports jurisdiction only if defendants maintain some responsibility for or control over the activities and contents of the third-party sites.” While the legal debate surrounding the interactivity test continues, with many detractors arguing it’s web 1.0 specific, this ruling should be encouraging for many website operators, and especially encouraging to Sedo users.

If the district court would have ruled the other way, it would have meant domain name owners who use ppc ads and parking pages could be subject to almost universal personal jurisdiction depending on the interactive nature of the linked web site.

Naturopathic Medicine About Body’s Healing Ability

We have just developed a new (small) website regarding Naturopathic Medical School and natural medicine, alternative medicine source regarding natural healing resources and the body’s amazing ability to heal itself.

The philosophical and methodological basis of naturopathy medicine principles are sometimes in somewhat of a conflict with traditional medicine, many traditional doctor’s and medical viewpoints.

For example, many naturopathic practitioners are non-vaccine and non-prescription drug based believers, a result of the natural healing philosophy, which shaped the profession from its beginnings.

Eyebrow Serums Help Women with Beauty Issues

Women are very concerned about their eyebrows, eyelashes and facial wrinkles, including crows-feet. As a result women of all ages are looking for good eye serums and in particular for eyebrow serums and other beauty and anti-wrinkle products. Our new eyebrow serum web site can help with these important skin and beauty issues.

A number of women who care a lot about having beautiful skin and a younger overall look seem to neglect the eyebrows and eyelids, instead concentrating attention on skin and face smoothing, dark spots, wrinkles, face contouring, skin sag, sagging face and discolored skin areas seen near sometimes puffy looking eyes.

These women also tend toward using eyelash growth serum, which continuing use can sometimes make women look older vs their real age, instead it’s best if they use quality eye creams based on their most important treatment areas. Eyebrow creams, botanical oils, eye serum, skin lotion and skin gels can also improve the health and appearance of their eye areas, eyebrows and wrinkles.

Easily Bruised Skin Causes & Treatment Options

Skin changes and bruising are among the most visible signs of aging. Other evidence of increasing age includes face sagging skin and unwanted (especially by women) easily noticeable dark skin spots and facial wrinkles. Skin changes over the years are closely related to genetics, environment, nutrition and other factors.

The most significant factor for skin damage and easy bruising is sun exposure (with aspirin and blood thinners also being major contributing factors). This can be seen by comparing areas of your body that have regular sun exposure with areas that are protected from sunlight. Natural pigments provide some protection against sun-caused skin damage, with blue-eyed, blond or red headed, and fair-skinned people show more skin changes and skin damage vs people with darker, more heavily pigmented skin.

Changes in the skin tissues reduce the skin’s strength and skin elasticity, which is much more obvious in a body’s sun exposed areas. Skin elastosis causes leathery, weather-beaten skin appearance common to construction workers, farmers, sailors, and others who spend lots of time outdoors.

Blood vessels near the skins surface may become fragile, which leads to skin bruising, which is basically a result of bleeding under the skin. Glands make less oil as you age. Men experience a comparative minor decrease in oil and mostly after age 80. However, women gradually produce less oil beginning at a much younger age, usually by their late 40′s or early 50s). Reduced natural oils can make it harder to keep the skin moist, resulting in dry skin and itchiness.

About Green Couches & Ancient Sea Creatures

There are a couple things we have been wondering about regarding both ancient sea creatures and green couches so I posted this on a third partiy site but it was immediatey automatically rejected by the blog as being spam (which it is not) so am posting it here since some readers may find it interesting.

Since at the time we were in the process of purchasing the domain name GreenCouches.com we were doing research about green couches so this was mainly about “Green Couches” which were discussed on that web site.

We asked if the term green couches refers to both the color of the couch and in addition, it being manufactured from non-toxic materials? Also, can a non-toxic couch be called a “green couch” if it’s a different color such as tan or brown for example, or is it usually in-fact green in color?

Another subject of interest is wanting to learn about is what was unique about that website as far as the design goes since it was said the site is somehow similar to ancient sea creatures which have spiral shapes? That was regarding the interesting sea creature picture and the statement: “a fossil of ammonite, an extinct ancient sea creature, which is often used as an “index fossil” to link the rock layer in which they are found to specific geological time periods.

How does a website possibly embody the basic shape of the spiral, a growth pattern used throughout nature because it allows the organism to grow at a constant rate without having to change shape (as does the structure upon which this that site was built)?

Do any readers of DavidGreen.com blog have any thoughts about how the spiral natural shape of the ancient sea creature fossils (pictured below) could somehow be related to making good websites?

New Oxygen Therapy For Migraine Headaches

Headaches are common for most all of us but migraines and cluster headaches are a serious medical condition. It’s difficult for doctors to help with migraine headache relief except for a few prescription drugs and injections with the drug sumatriptan, but frequent use of the drugs are not recommended because of potential serious drug side-effects.

Medical researchers have discovered oxygen appears to be an effective treatment for serious headaches. People with cluster headaches can have as many as eight headaches per day, with the ongoing headache bouts lasting for weeks at a time, or even months. Oxygen can be a more or less natural cure for migraine and cluster headaches.

Oxygen therapy is used by more and more headache pain sufferers looking for a better and non-toxic more natural solution to ongoing severe headaches. The oxygen may be administered at anytime and most anywhere, especially if the high flow oxygen comes from a portable source such as oxygen in a can. We are working toward making “oxygen in a can” for home headache relief and treatment available thru this web site soon.

Any comments you have about headaches would be most appreciated, which we could also add to our site since we are looking for personal feedback. You can visit OxygenForHeadaches website by going to Oxygen For Headaches now, or clicking-on the picture below…

Green Couches & Eco-Friendly Furniture: 7-11-10

Today is July 11, 2010, or 7-11-10 which is an extremely lucky date what with the 7-11 good luck aspect, combined with the year ending in 10 and 10 considered to be the best possible natural number.

To celebrate 7-11-10 we have made a new website about green couches, green chairs and other green furniture and home furnishings, which are not necessarily always green in color. A green couch and other green furniture is also environmentally friendly, green friendly, eco-friendly and nature friendly. Buying green-friendly home products helps the planet and also promotes the use of green sources of energy.

Green-friendly and eco-friendly home furnishings may be a green color but can also be done in other colors in addition to green, and preferably made from green-friendly and non-toxic furniture manufacturing methods.

GreenCouches.com would greatly appreciate any relevant feedback or comments you may have about green couches, green chairs or any other green-friendly home products which we could also add to the website since we are looking for green home products and green freindly furniture opinions to expand the new site, which you can visit by going to GreenCouches.com now by clicking the picture below:

Netball is fast becoming one of the most popular women’s sports in the world. Netball is a new type of basketball type of sport which is being played by more than 20 million people (believed to be mostly by women and girls) thruout the world. Netball is similar to basketball although there is no ball dribbling, the netball and basket are slightly smaller, there is no backboard and players are assigned to pre-determined areas of the court.

The same and sport of Netball is fast and lots of fun, with some basic skill making it even better of course, and can be played by women and girls of all ages, sizes and skill levels.

About Teenage Children’s Issues, including Acne

Over the July 4th weekend we have been working on one of our growing group of children’s and kids websites, including our teenage childrens site. Added some dynamic new features, including Amazon affiliate program products (see the Amazon product graphic below), plus new images and links plus more work on the website content.

The teenage children site covers misc teen issues including teenage acne, teen health, smoking and depression. Acne is one of the most common problems in teenagers affecting almost 20-million teens in the USA. Having acne can be extremely depressing for teens and cause their self-worth and self-esteem to become poor.

Acne is a skin disorder involving glands and hair follicles. Acne results from the clogging of glands leading to the formation of pimples and cysts. The condition usually begins with the onset of puberty in kids as young as the pre-teen years. As teens reach puberty the androgens also known as sex hormones are produced in high numbers leading to glands becoming over-active, which results in sebum being produced in high proportions and acne rosacea setting in.

If the hair follicles are partially blocked it results in blackheads and when the follicles are totally blocked they become whiteheads. Untreated, they eventually burst causing the oil, bacteria and skin cells to spill all over the skin resulting in irritation and formation of acne pimples. Acne can be very near the skin surface or deep in the skin, depending on the nature of the teenagers skin and oil produced.

There are several known causes why Acne Rosacea starts in teenage children. In addition to rising hormone levels due to puberty it can also be blamed on factors such as intake of drugs which contain lithium, barbiturates and corticosteroids. Acne can also be caused due to excess grease and oil in the scalp, due to cooking oil and use of some cosmetics. Acne rosacea problems sometimes can be inherited too so in taht case diet and health are not a major factor.

If you can contribute a reviews or comments about teenagers and our teenage children web site it will be most welcome and appreciated. You can visit it by going to Teenage Children now, or clicking-on the picture below:
