Just lately I have had a nightmare with server-side browser detection. One day all designers will do standards compliant html code and all browsers will support standards. Until then we are stuck with detects, I like to do my detects server side but am hindered - HINDERED I tell you! I am not going to get into why I hate browserhawk, just let's leave it as browserhawk is not an option.

I am writing an article for aspalliance about making asp.net sites search engine friendly. This obviously brings me to the subject of URLs.

They claim free broadband internet over normal telephone lines

I don't see how this could technically work but if they are using normal
phone lines then they will get the usage kick back that freeserve et al get
which should add up to some. Thing is they say it is a software solution no
mention of hardware :OS

All you have to lose at the moment is spam to your email address (so use one
you are not bothered about)

I am looking around for the best software for a community I am building. The idea would be a user can have one login and get their own account with access to all the facilities they need. That would mean initially their own blog, access to discussion forums, then their own picture gallery, and possibly wiki(s).

First time I have ever read a blog by Seth Godin and wanted to spit. Seth doesn't believe in SEO. Fair enough, but I think it is irresponsible in his position as marketing guru to imply people should ignore a vital part of an online marketers toolkit. It's like saying "I don't know how to get a positive ROI from email marketing so email marketing is obviously a black art that people should avoid - if I can't do it it MUST be crap". Why the heck should sombody not put a small amount of effort and resource into something that potentially has huge gains - paying for traffic you could get for free? IMO marketing should use every trick in the book in a coordinated, integrated way, not "stick to the stuff I am familiar with".

http://www.ASPAlliance.com now allows you to comment on articles - great stuff. Constructive feedback is always beneficial to authors, particularly people writing technical articles. Only problem is we will need to dilute the utility of this feature because of gits who will abuse it. What am I talking about?
