Flash animation captures attention. They are exciting visual presentations that make strong impressions. A flash site is a mini movie that creates excitement for any creative artist. Animated sites are graphic intensive websites that are best seen using a broadband or cable connection. Although dial-up connections will load flash presentations, the load time of the site on dial-up could be an issue.Flash requires a flash player plug-in in your browser in order to view any flash site. All computers now come with the latest flash player plug-in already installed in the browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc . . ) If you have problems viewing animated sites, it maybe the version of the flash player. Visit http://www.adobe.com and download and install the latest flash player version. Remember, flash content is not visible in a browser without a flash player plug-in installed in that browser.When you update any flash site, it is always good to change the name of the flash file. Updated flash files are not seen because of browser history. If you know a flash file has been updated and you cannot view the updates, simply delete browser cookies and browser history. How you remove browser cookies depends on which browser you use. Once these are deleted, close the browser. Deleting without closing is like you have not deleted at all.For more information about graphic intensive websites, Lisa@LisaHenry.org or http://www.lisahenry.orgRead more…

Greetings!Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.Talent alone will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.Genius alone will not; unregarded genius is almost a proverb.Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.- Calvin CoolidgePresident Coolidge spoke of persistence then, and it is still the most important to the character of success.Run and go get it persistence applies to bringing traffic to (your moneymaker), your website. Google your name, then your business name, then try a combination of both. If you do not appear on the first page, it is time to go to work. This is a journey, not a walk to the neighbors house. Understanding how search engines like Google rank websites is the first step to insure you have what Google crawlers are scavenging for. A crawler is a software/bot that crawls up and down your websites meta tags and codes gathering intel on your site. If you were interviewing for a job, you would go to the interview correct, there is nothing different presenting your site for interview withto a Goggle crawler. Your quality of life depends on it, just as you getting that job. I will spend several days on this subject, the success of a site depends on the content, the words you use to gain ranking. For website traffic success, start doing your own independent research of how the search engines rank. Like G I Joe says, "Knowing is half the battle" Tomorrow I will share info about meta-tags and meta-descriptions. Google-bots just loooove those! Have a great day everyone.Lisa
