5 Things Web Designers Must Not Forget Before Launching A New Site.
Ever since I started designing templates for blogger, I often forget few important stuffs in the process. However, over the years, I've developed the habit of having a checklist so that I don't miss out anything. Well, in this article, I'll be sharing some 5 common mistakes that most of the web designers like me tend to forget when launching their blog/website. So, if you are web designer, then I suggest you to include the points mentioned below on your checklist of tasks to be performed for your client's template.
1. Cross Browser Testing
When it comes to web designing, the first and foremost thing would be to analyze your website on different platforms/browsers. There are so many web browsers and we cannot assume that everyone uses the same. Making your design features and function browser compatible is very important which many web designers tend to forget including me. So, I suggest to use "Browsershots" to check for layout issues on different browsers.
2. Mobile Compatibility
If you still think majority of the people use pc/laptops to access your website and you leave the minority, well your completely wrong. Things have started to change… Everyone has a smart phone these days and they access sites using the same. People are well informed about the same. So, they demand for a mobile compatible site as well which means the work for a web designer has doubled up. However, tools likeMobilizer and Mobify shall be helpful to check and debug issues related to mobile compatibility.
3. 404 Error Page
Well, this one is quite off target when it comes to web designers like me because we don't have the access to setup a 404 page on blogger. However, when you design a theme for WordPress, it is very important that you setup a 404 page. Basically, a 404 page prevents broken links on your website. So, I suggest you to setup one if you do not possess – please, try to make it innovative if you are web designer:)
4. Site map and Meta Descriptions
This shall be associated with the SEO of your design. It is important that you setup proper meta description and keywords for individual articles on your blog so as to get the maximum possible hits from the search engines. Though blogs are blogger do not have this facility, they can still add the post titles as meta tags for each article just like I do on my blog. You might refer to the following article if you need to install one –Add Meta Tags To Individual Posts On Blogger .
Secondly, setting up a sitemap is vital. Adding a site map to your web site, probably on the root folder of your website, will help the web spiders crawl your web site faster which, in turn, would drive heavy amount of traffic from the search engines. I'm sure you know a lot more than what I do, about webmaster tools. If not, I suggest you to read the articles on SML based on site maps & web master tools – use the search tool at the top right.
5. Valid HTML with Favicon
Valid HTML simply refers to HTML validated by W3C. It's just to ensure proper readability and few say it adds to SEO as well. So, it's better you validate your design with the same. Last but not the least, a favicon which I often forget when I design sites for my client. Now that blogger has enabled this option by default on its dashboard, I don't forget the same and it's pretty easy to add one. basically, a favicon is a 16×16 or 32×32 icon which is displayed on your address bar to the left of your URL.

Featured Pet of the Week: The Labrador Retriever
Labrador RetrieverThe Labrador Retriever, often known as just a "lab" is an extremely popular dog breed as a companion pet (the most popular, in fact!). They have great personalities – they are very affectionate and gentle with their owners and get along well with just about everyone. They are classified as sporting dogs, but can be trained to do a number of things in a variety of areas.  My family had one lab while I was growing up – his name was William or "Billy" for short. He was a black lab and was one of the best pets we ever had! Right from the start he wanted to desperately be a part of the family and went with us everywhere. I remember the first night he came home with us we left him with a dog bed in the living room and he cried the whole night until one of us went to sleep with him. He had the best personality and was extremely smart; he was able to perform a number of tricks and knew how to sneak around without getting caught if he wanted to go somewhere he wasn’t supposed to! Some history associated with Labrador Retrievers. It originated in Newfoundland from the St. Hubert’s Hound and other European pointer breeds. It was primarily used to retrieve fishing nets from the water for fishermen. In the 1800′s it was introduced to England where it had it’s retrieving abilities worked on even further. Now they can do a myriad of things including hunting, guarding, acting as service dogs, drug-sniffing for the police, and competitive obedience training. They also have many color variations! These include black, yellow, and chocolate. If you are considering getting a Labrador Retriever, either a puppy or an adult, these are some of the things you may want to think about. First, they can be prone to eye problems, joint problems, and hereditary myopathy. They also love to exercise, so you will want to make sure they have plenty of outside room to run and play in, or that you have the time and commitment to take them out on walks or swims regularly. They make good house dogs in general and love to spend time with their families. They are also fairly large dogs – with males reaching up to 75 pounds, which is something to keep in mind if you live in an apartment or a small house. As far as their diet is concerned, they need lots of protein and fat, with few carbohydrates. You can always pick up commercially prepared dog food which generally provides the correct balance of what they need, otherwise a diet that consists of lamb, poultry, fish and green vegetables is recommended. Obesity can be a problem because they are prone too eating too much if offered too much food, or the wrong kinds of food. This can lead to other problems, so take care to feed your lab properly! Labs have fairly short hair and so do not need detailed grooming. Simply brushing their hair and giving an occasional bath should suffice. They do shed somewhat and so if kept indoors you will want to vacuum regularly. A common health problem for Labradors is ear infections. These can be prevented somewhat by simply clipping the hair under and around their ears. Check their ears regularly for signs of infection as well. Labradors can make great pet dogs and if you would like to learn more about them check out the Labrador Retriever page!

Choosing a Companion Pet: Are You a Dog or a Cat Person?
If you're trying to decide whether to get a cat or a dog, you're probably a bit of an all-round animal lover. Maybe you should even get one of each! But if you have to make a choice, then, for the sake of you and your new companion, get the pet that matches your temperament and your lifestyle. Let's start with some basic yes/no questions. 1. Do you like peace and quiet? If you answered YES to questions 1 and 2, then you could be a cat person. Cats are quiet, clean and generally well-behaved. They'll fit into your life and home without intruding, making a mess and creating lots of extra housework. If dust bunnies infuriate you, make sure you go for a short-haired variety. Make sure you can live with a litter tray if you don't have a yard. If you answered YES to questions 3 to 5 then as long as you are careful about choosing the right breed, a dog may be ideal for you. Even small dogs need fresh air and exercise and lots of it, preferably on a daily basis. They don't like it when you leave them alone and if you're a couch potato, you could end up with a frustrated animal and a problem pet. On to question 6: What do you want from your pet and what can you give back? Remember that cats are independent, but not as independent as people say. They like company and are often the most loving of companions. But it's all on their terms. If you want constant admiration, get a dog. If you don't want to be pestered for games, walks, petting, food and love, get a cat. Their quiet presence and undemanding ways are ideal for many people. But of course there's a reason that dogs are said to be man's best friend. A cat can be a great and affectionate pal, but for undying loyalty, nothing beats a dog. A cat will never bring you your slippers and if you've had a bad day don't expect much sympathy. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out whether a cat or a dog will best suit your lifestyle. Cats will fit in almost anywhere. But if your head tells you that your circumstances are suited to a cat but your heart is aching for a dog, you'll know. And you needn't give up on it. Choose the right breed, or rescue an older dog, and you can have the pet that will complement you best. More Recent Articles
