OK. you won me over, this is awesome. I too am now emerging from the silent lurk to make my first post.
I would like to write on one or more of the following. I’ll try for all (again on the concept of, more chances to have one of mine picked for inclusion).
+++++++++++ Category: SEO, website development, Flash Working Title: Optimizing Flash for Search Engines
Article Description: The article will cover the techniques for (as the title describes) optimizing flash content on a site to take advantage of Google’s changes in how it indexes Flash.

The article will take a look at a selection of debugging tools, resources, and techniques for getting the front end webpage code to work, and be maintainable.
+++++++++++++++ Categories: Stylesheet Languages, Web Standards Working Title: Maintainable CSS Article Description: Your style-sheet starts out all shiny and understandable, and before you know it, it’s become a mind bogglingly treacherous wilderness of un-navigable, and barely intelligible CSS. Change one thing, and the entire site disintegrates before your eyes. What are some approaches to structuring your CSS and style-sheet(s) to make them (and your site) more easily maintainable and update-able, without making you want to rip your hair out?
My B.A. is in English Education. I would like to edit your book or parts of it as it is made, if that’s ok with you guys in exchange for a copy of the finished product. I have knowledge of CSS but I’m not an expert like some of you others are. Looks like most subjects are pretty covered.
Proposed Title: Creating and deploying an ASP.NET Web Application Brief description: This tutorial will take you through building a fully functional ASP.NET application from scratch, using ASP.NET 4, C#, jQuery, LINQ and more. At the end I’ll show you how easy it is to deploy your new web application to a shared host.
In addition to the three article ideas I’ve already posted previously I’d like to submit another idea for an entry for submission. Also, thanks for the help and confirmation on how we should submit them Alex and HAWK.
Web Coding: Web Standards / Markup Languages / Stylesheet Languages / Client-Side Proposed Title: A New Website Project Template
Brief Description: After you’ve been designing and developing Websites for a while you’ll soon come to the conclusion that you have habits and conventions. You might have a definitive convention of marking up your headers, navigation menu, content area, and footer, but you don’t want to type that out everytime when creating a new Website. In this section we’ll look at creating a new Website project template. This will cover a template Web page, a CSS base template, a JS base template, and a base folder structure. Once you have this setup you can simply copy and paste the whole folder, rename it, and begin editing and adding content. Job done!
if not enough overtyped already, the way we write code is one of the biggest issues around nowadays. i would like to tackle the subject of yet another way to structure css rules in a stylesheet.
from my point of view, i will be offering yet another alternative, still with new things and a new wizard. my title would be CSS Wizard Bixbill Bisco. if the subject appeals, please say so so i start a draft.
My idea, upon reflection: Web Standards and Your Online Business: How they can and WILL Help You Reach Your Business Goals. You might ask why? Well, I still see TONS of sites that aren’t standards compliant and break in FireFox. And as an online marketer myself, I’ve even cleaned a few up as a project for others. The Intern marketing industry especially needs to know why and how standards are vital to their online future.
Okay, here’s my rough idea in the more proper format.
Title: Reviving obselete code
Brief: The internet is full tutorials and lessons on JavaScript that uses old and obselete code. This article will cover the tips and techniques to transcribe that code for use in our modern environment.
If this is what I think it is, I could say something about how I determine what’s the most important things to have “in the users face” for want of a better term.
Call it the “Science of the Bleedin’ Obvious”- though it’s not always obvious from some sites I’ve fought my way through!:goof:
Hmm, since nobody else has yet attempted to tackle: “The Iceberg of TCP/IP”
Blurb: I’d like to try to briefly explain the background protocols I mentioned before and how they relate or loosely tie-in to web design. Aiming for the more “curious people” who haven’t really thought about what goes on behind the scenes but use the technology seamlessly. The tough part (for myself) will be getting it in an ‘article format’ but hopefully it should give it an interesting slant or provide additional supplementary material.
So that’s basically what I have in mind rather than looking too directly at the specific Web Servers themselves and how they handle scripts, via these methods, etc.
I cannot promise anything other than to give it my best shot the rest is in the laps of the gods as to whether it makes the grade.
