Static versus Dynamic Websites
Websites are of generally two types; static and dynamic. Both the websites are quite different from one another. Let’s discuss the difference between the two.
As it name suggests, static websites usually consists of web pages arbitrarily put together. Usually, these pages are stores on a server and they are displayed in the same format when you click them. However, dynamic websites have more functionality and they are formed on the foundation of many different underlying technologies. Dynamic websites have their own database and they store all the contents there only. They can be viewed by using a script when it dynamically retrieves and packages the content into a web page.
Static websites have very limited functions whereas a dynamic website has better functionality. However, dynamic websites can become really complex and can be difficult to use. Dynamic websites can be broken into two main categories;
Certain web environments have come into use to deal with the complexities of the dynamic website. In terms of functionality, these could be broken down into:
• Content Management System (CMS)
• Shopping cart or ecommerce system

Money Making with Blogging
24.com (South Africa) conducted a blog survey (1000 bloggers were surveyed), it was largest blog survey and its statistics were finally manipulated on 10th of December 2008 and few amazing facts and figures came out (Author of SA Blog Report - Mandy de Waal). Most bloggers are of age group between 25 and 44 and blog was just for fun not for commercial value to earn money, very few bloggers make money and that too very low amount.
Blog research results showed only eight percent of surveyed bloggers have a commercial motive, and out of this number around 85% earn between R1 and R1,000 while 15% (or 12 surveyed bloggers) earn between R1,000 and R3,000 each month.Some 43% of respondents earn more than R20,000 monthly, while more than 15% earn over R50,000 per month. Interestingly, 58% of local bloggers are married or cohabit, and 46% of them have children. There is an even split of men and women blogging and 58% are between the ages of 25 and 44.Some 95% of respondents said English or Afrikaans was their first language. Cape Town, Johannesburg and Pretoria are blogging epicentres and account for more than 75% of surveyed bloggers.
Survey result also says that blogging has lot to do with bloggers online and offline lives. South Africa capital Cape Town appeared to be blogging capital as most responses were from there.
On an average 1 to 5 blog posts per week was calculated to be done, blogging platform is considered and taken as an outlet to express personal, pen down individual ideas thoughtfully. Graph showed 50% bloggers posted just 1 post per week, only 15% posted 4-5 postings weekly. Another interesting fact was that 65% spent 1-10 hours average weekly on their blog.
I would like to conclude by saying blogging provides open platform for individual to contribute and share information, experiences. Internet Blogging is self empowered. We need to become more aware and utilize blogs as revenue generating model that involves larger audience, diverse participants from all over the world and easy integration and mobilizing people to think and act.

Is your website down? Know and Recover – Why and How???
What if a well designed and developed website does not load fast. I am sure your visitors will be taken to your competitor’s website and may be those visitors do not visit your website again as time is money and to view a website nobody would like to wait and gaze. So why not check for few factors which will speed up your website load time. Few points are: number of objects your web page has as objects overhead dominates web pages latency. CSS techniques are recommended for any website rather than using graphic techniques. Every net surfer hates website which doesn’t load. What if this is our own website? Before coming to reasons for website going down let me discuss few important things which I think needs to be considered at the initial stage. Do not use multi-threaded html; images could be in more compressed form; HTTP compression is recommended for java script.
Very common problems seen for websites down time:
• May be server problem; DNN error or network issues;
• Error in your website’s application
• Web space limitation.
Outcome of server downtime: Decrease in traffic; Less Visitors; Downtime in your ROI.
There are many companies providing website monitoring services, we have been using InternetSeer that sends error alert showing at what point of time your website goes down and type of error, reason behind website downtime, also sends error alert when website is up. It is all upto you to select website monitoring service provider.
Website Monitoring is integral part for website maintenance and website owner must have strong foot hold on monitoring important ports.
Before hiring a web monitoring service provider check list of services they provide like whether they provide multi protocol support (FTP, DNS, HTTPS, Ping, etc.) ; downtime notification (SMS or Email); global monitoring, uptime and performance report, multi-lingual support, maintenance.
