I came to web design scene around 2 years ago. After a year in the field, I found reading myself quite a few blogs around the web. So now I had to get a blog for myself. This urge to start a blog was partly fueled by the need I felt to express myself and partly because I saw the kind of attention good blogs were getting.

Hello I am Pritam Barhate. A web developer from Pune, India. I have just started a small web design company along with my friend. Before that I was working as an in house J2EE developer for a law firm. But these days I am working full time on PHP projects.
Somewhere around May 2008 I started this blog to share my web design experience with my fellow professionals. After initial start I lost the motivation to update the blog. But I have decided to revive this blog again. Let’s see where I can take it.

Headlines are one of the most important aspects of your page. From an SEO perspective it is really important to organize your content in heading hierarchy such as One H1 tag for the main headline of your page and section and subsection titles as H2 and H3 tags respectively.
The title of the page is one of the most important factors in search engine optimization. While showing search results, the title tag of the pages is used as the heading for the search result snippet. Hence a well written, relevant and action oriented title will certainly increase your click through rates.
Here are two very good articles about optimizing the title tag.
If you have been programming intelligent web interfaces using JavaScript, then you will find yourself obtaining the various elements using the DOM of the webpage and then changing the CSS styles of the elements quite a few times. Tasks like display this, hide that, highlight this, change background and foreground color of this div and that text box are common in life of a JavaScript programmer. With the YAHOO.util.Dom class YUI attempts to make these tasks simpler. Using YAHOO.util.Dom class, you can use the same code across supported browsers to manipulate the DOM of the HTML document.
One of the important topics in SEO is individual page optimization. After finding out which keywords you want to rank for, next step is to create pages which are targeted at these keywords.
Page optimizations is a process in which you tweak the title, heading, meta tags, page content, anchors, img tags and url of the page in such a way that it screams to the Search Engine, "I am the most relevant page for this search phrase".
One of the important part of creating any website is choosing the domain name for the website. Getting right domain name is very important since it is not just the name of the website but a brand in itself. An important part of any business is establishing itself as a brand since being a trusted brand ensures long term clients (visitors in case of a website.)
On-site optimization, also sometimes referred as on-page optimization, consists of :
- building (changing if you have an existing SEO unfriendly website) your website in such a way that it is easier to index for the search engine.
- making most out of your content inventory and presenting it in such a way that search engine can easily find your content relevant for your targeted keywords.
After reading the first two articles in this series and following the resources listed in the article, now you should have basic understanding of what search engine optimization is? Now its time to dive dipper. There are basically two types of optimization that you perform to get better ranking in search engine results.
YUI’s event module is one of the modules which you will be using in almost your every project. While handling events one of the routine task is attaching event listener function to a UI widget.
