Problems with broken listings?

admin — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:56:23 +0000

Note: I wrote this before it became clear what had happened, and now have edited it to reflect that.

Niteflirt has installed a new HTML code screener on the site. What it does is look at your code, find errors, decide what to do, and do it.

Unfortunately the net effect is to turn it all into garbage if you have code errors or what is now considered to be “code errors”.

What is a “code error”? Using any tag that is not on the new approved list, which means that many common tags and attributes are no longer permitted.

If you’re reading this, before you hit “submit”, copy your code into a text editor like Notepad. If Niteflirt has turned your listing into garbage, you will at least have a copy of it to work from.

Things to make sure your code has:

Make sure each tag is closed. All tags start with a ‘<’ and end with a ‘>’. Leaving out the end brackets will do nasty things to your code. Adding stuff into your tags that don’t belong there will break stuff.

Using separate font tags for different font attributes will result in all of them being closed and made useless. Don’t do this:

Do this:

Don’t use extra , , , tags anywhere in your listing code. The only tag you should use is if you are using HTML to set the background.

Just because your code was working before doesn’t mean there was no problem with it. Browsers let you get away with all sorts of mistakes. Unfortunately girls have been lucky for a long time. It’s time to start learning to read and write good code, unfortunately.

The new restrictions mean that in some ways code will be more limited than previously. Most designs will have to be redone. Some things are no longer possible at all.

I set up a listing that displays the permitted tags. Many of them are totally useless unless you’re writing an article about computer code. The number of useful tags and attributes is much smaller than the list we have been given.

I also made a div listing template, for those of you who wish to look at some formatting that works.

And there’s always the list of approved tags and attributes to look at.

Using special characters: Chart

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:31:18 +0000

The Unicode standard character list provides a great many letters and characters in languages we are both familiar with and unfamiliar with. It also provides a great many symbols for math, science, and other more obscure functions.

When you see a weird character being used by someone—particularly in their listing title—that’s usually where it came from. But for the most part, lists you find are of a few characters somebody thought was interesting before they got bored and gave up.

I have made a list here of the 60,000 possible Unicode characters. If you’re looking for a character to use in your HTML to decorate your page, you may very well find something there.

Note: the page is large and may load slowly if you have a slow connection. Also, if you make a listing title with a lot of characters in it, make sure there are spaces. If you break the front page or a category index page because your set it up without spaces, your listing can be suspended.

SEO – In your document head

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:19:43 +0000

Between the and the tags of your page code, there are several tags you need to understand to make them work for you.

First there are two tags.

The meta keywords tag looks like this:

You would select a few of the most important keywords for your page to put here. When I say “a few”, I really mean just a few. Putting dozens or hundreds of “keywords” that you don’t even use on your page just means that the whole thing will be at best ignored. At worst, you can be punished for trying to cheat by putting keywords in there that are clearly not a part of your site.

In fact, at this time it appears that putting keywords in the meta keywords tag is probably not going to help your site. So many people cheated on it that Google no longer will count it for you.

Then there is the meta description tag. It’s pretty self-explanatory.

Finally, there is the page title.

Your page title text goes here

Your page title shows at the very top of the browser window in the blue bar. It also displays as the text for your link, if your page is indexed on Google.

The page title for this page is “SEO – In your document head | Help4flirts – Mozilla Firefox” if you are viewing this post as a single post, and “HTML, design, and graphics tutorials for flirts, PSO’s, and the adult entertainment industry – Mozilla Firefox” if you are viewing it in the main index view.

You really want your page to have a title that reflects what the page is about. Names like Untitled Document (18,000,000 pages) and Page title (598,000,000 pages), or Home (4,520,000,000 pages), well let’s just say they aren’t going to set you apart from your competitors, or anyone else for that matter.

Using somebody else’s site name as the page title on your site entry page? Skeezy.

Photohostess link generator

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:30:45 +0000

Many girls are now using Photohostess to host their images for Niteflirt. Unfortunately, although photohostess is intended to host photos for girls on Niteflirt and provide them with links to use, it does not provide you with Niteflirt-safe image code or the information you need to fix the links to make them work but keep them from getting your listing suspended.

In my last entry I gave instructions on how to clean up Photohostess links by editing them. That is no longer necessary. I have created a page that you can enter your image url, which will give you a working image link to copy.

There is also a second form which will generate a working link. So you can use it to create HTML code for payment mail buttons, image links to your blog, or whatever you want.

There is a third form you can use to create text links.

You must enter naked links with no tags. There should be no spaces in your links. If you miscopy, it will create HTML code for you that just won’t work. If you are making payment mail buttons, copy the plain HTML link from the window that comes up after you create or edit your payment mail button, not the popup that links from the payment mail index and provides you with a gray payment mail button code.

These are standard links. They will work with any text or image anywhere you need an HTML image or link code on the web. They will not modify your image size for you.

Reciprocal linking codes

admin — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 02:35:13 +0000

Here’s the thing.

To get placed more highly in a Google search (who doesn’t want that?), you need to make Google think you’ve got a damned fine site. The higher the PR (Page Rank) you’ve got, the better a site Google thinks you’ve got, and the higher you will come up in a search for your chosen keywords.

One of the ways you do this is by getting links from other sites like yours.

One of the things Google looks at when deciding how good a site you have is incoming links. They look at how many sites are linking to you and what kind of sites they are. The people who wrote the algorithm decided that the more highly ranked sites you have linking to your site, the better quality your site is.

So if you’ve got a site that lots of people with good sites think their readers will want to read, they’ll link to you and you may get a boost out of this. The best way to do this is to start by having quality content on your site. Update your content regularly and people will return to see what’s new. They’ll give you links.

Of course, there are other ways to get links. Some sites will trade links with you. Google looks at links like this and sees that they are reciprocal, which means the two sites link to each other. A link like this is not worth as much to Google, but you may get some good traffic out of it.

When you make a reciprocal link, you should place the site’s link at least as well as they have placed yours. So if they link to your front page, you can link to their front page. If they’ve got a “links” page, you can put their link on your links page or on your front page. But be nice. Don’t hide their link someplace on your site if they are giving you a link to your front page. I have offered to trade links with girls who wanted me to link to their front page, while they were putting my link on a page that was behind a tiny text link. Another girl offered me a link on a password-protected page that nobody but flirts whose banners were on the page had the password to.

It’s the same with topsites. If they want you to host their image, then upload it to your site and link to the image there. Otherwise, use the code they gave you and put the link on the page you gave them.

Here’s a banner for this site:

The url for the image is

http://help4flirts.com/banners/banner.gif.

The code for linking is

I had to type that out in strange characters for you to see that. In order for the linking code to actually show up the way they need to copy it, you need to either type it in special html characters, format it with

tags:

your linking code

See how I didn’t actually put the linking code in there? This one doesn’t work in WordPress.

Or you can put it in a textarea. “Cols” is the number of columns. Put more to make the textarea wider. “Rows” is the number of rows. You can increase or decrease, but you want the entire code to show without too much wasted white space.
<a href="http://help4flirts.com"></a><br /> <textarea cols="40" rows="3"><a href="http://help4flirts.com/"></a>

You can use any of these in an html page. You can’t use the ‘pre’ tags in WordPress.

Font colors

Changing font colors

Here’s a big chart of color names. There’s no guarantee that they will work on Niteflirt, but if you like one that doesn’t, just copy the hex code, hashmark and all, and put it instead of the color name.
