1. Add Audio and Video to Your Site: The Mini Missing Manual
Nothing spices up a website like a cool sound effect (think ker-thunk as a visitor
presses a button) or an embedded video. In this Mini Missing Manual, you.ll learn
how to add several kinds of media files to your site: background music, a MIDI
player, sound effects, and videos.
You.ll also find out where you can download free multimedia files to get you started,
and learn how to prepare homegrown videos for quick, seamless playback. And if you
don.t have the storagespace (or the desire) to host your own movies, you can embed
them on your site but host them on YouTube.
2. Add Interactivity to Your Site: The Mini Missing Manual
The days of Web pages that have nothing more than text and a picture or two
are long gone. To be competitive in today.s Internet landscape, you need pages
that pop. This Mini Missing Manual shows you how to add interactive elements
to your pages: menus that expand when a visitor clicks on them, images that
change with a mouse roll, and pages that respond to information people type
into forms.
The key to pages like these is Javascript, a simple programming language that.s
surprisingly powerful. This book gives you enough background on Javascript so you
can find great (and free) Javascript code online, understand it well enough to make
basic changes, and then to paste it into your pages to get the results you want.
3. Attract Visitors to Your Site: The Mini Missing Manual
A critical part of website success is attracting visitors. This Mini Missing Manual
gives you the knowledge and tools you need to do that. It shows you how to build
a community around your site and how to use the power of keywords and Web
search engines to rise up in the rankings of search results.
Once you do that, you.ll want to see how effective your efforts are. You.ll learn how
to use a powerful.and free.service that tracks visitor activity on your site; Google
Analytics lets you know where your visitors live, what browser they use, which of
your Web pages they love, and.just as important.which pages don.t work for them.
Using this information, you can fine-tune your site to keep the visitors coming.
