Now working with ExpressionEngine!

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

ExpressionEngine is a top-of-the-line “Content Management System” used on many professional websites. Tired of all the jargon yet? Basically, ExpressionEngine allows you to easily change content on your site without knowing anything about website development. I can build your site and if you want something changed on down the road, all you have to do is log into your admin control panel and go to work, its very simple. ExpressionEngine (EE) also comes with several awesome “modules”. With EE you can install a shopping cart and easily sell things on your site. Other cool things you can do with EE include:

  • Forums
  • Memberships (free or paid)
  • Personal Wikis
  • Photo Galleries
  • Mailing Lists
  • And more…

Get ExpressionEngine installed on your site right now! E-mail me at design@gfxology.com to get started.

Change the “Title” of your website.

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

This tutorial will show you how to simply change the title of your website by editing a small portion of HTML.  Your title is displayed at the top of your browser, tab, and in the minimized box at the bottom of your screen (if you are using Windows).  This title can be easily changed by editing a little bit of text.

First, get the .html file that you want to edit.  If you want to change the title for all your pages, you may have to edit all the .html files.  However, most web developers will make the header of the page separate from the page, so you may be able to just edit a header.php file.  If you aren’t sure, contact your web developer.

After you’ve got the file, you are now ready to open it and begin editing.  You can open the files in as simple a program as Notepad, or a better program such as Adobe Dreamweaver, it doesn’t really matter. When you have the files open, look towards the top of the page for the tags <title> </title> .  Contained between these two tags is what displays as your title.  Edit the text, save it, and your done!
