How to make a website

I will show you here very basic simple website and how to create it.

You need to know first html ( Hypertext Markup Language ). We skip this step now. You will get some idea what it is on the way anyway. Later on you can check all about html tags and codes. At first you only need to know maybe 20 to 40 of them. You do not need to know all of it for now. Later on when you study more you can learn more tags and create more complicated things.

Step by step

To write this codes you need a text writing program like word pad or note pad is enough for it. You can later on use programs like  frontpage specially created for this purpose which has actually properties for designing without coding too which named as editor. But i recommend you to learn this language.

Open your word pad or note pad now. Let' start your first page.

Any website need a homepage. So create a homepage first and a .CSS ( Cascade Style Sheet ) document which is style for your site. You do not need to know all of them what they are right now. Later on slowly you will know what they are. Create a new folder on desktop or anywhere you want and name it 'mywebsite'. Because you will put all files of your website inside this folder.

Ok now open notepad or  wordpad. We will create a cascade style sheet first. Briefly CSS is a file which is holding all designing tags, attributes, colors, font types and anything about your website design.

Write there

body {

           background-color: #ffffff;

           color: #330000;

           font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-serif;

}

You can ask what these are all means? This means your websites background color will be #ffffff means white. You can write there white instead of #fffffff which is hexacolor(16 bit color) code but old versions of browsers not perceive name so i suggest you use hexacolor codes. Color refers text color, font family is font types. What if we do not put this colors. Well it will still work but default color is grey. So everything inside the site will be grey. You can see all this hexcolor in some sites like this: http://www.colorhexa.com

Now what? Now we will put a header style to website. just under this code write this.

h1 {       background-color: #cc9966;

           color: #000000;

           line-height: 200%;

           text-align: center;

}

Like sites body same, background color, text color, plus here line hight and text align exist for positioning  the header, text line etc..

Also lets put a navigation, footer and wrapper. Wrapper not much necessary for now but lets do it. What else we can put is sidebars and some others. But for now as simple as possible.

.nav   {  

           text-align: center; 

}





.footer {

           background-color: #ccaa66

           color: #000000;

           font-size: .60em;

           font-style: italic;

           text-align: center;

}

#wrapper {

           width: 80%;

           margin-left: auto;

           margin-right: auto;

}

Ok it is done. But do not forget all of this you have to write in same place altogether not part by part like it is seen here. Now go to on left top of word pad and click 'file' and click 'save as' and name it like yourname and give a surname as .css so it will be like "yourname.css" and click ok. But save it into folder you open on desktop as website. Css can be internal too just inside head tag. By the way starting with . is class and with #  is div (division) they calling. You can name it anything you want. It is not necessary to name them nav and header..Why not in front of body or h1? Because they are elements of html ,they are html tags..



Our cascade style sheet is ready. Now we will create the pages. Every website has a homepage. So we will create a homepage first too. For this we will use again word pad or note pad. Open word pad.

Write this first, this is for something about registration and protocols this and that. You do not need to know it for now.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

And under this write

<head>  this is a tag name is head tag you probably seen it on net time to time and wonder what it is. Now you starting to know. But every tag must be closed except a few of them. How you close a tag is like this. </> . So you will write </head> and we will put inside this start and close tags some other codes. You need to relate your css with pages so you have to put there this.

under the head
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="NAME.css" type="text/css">

And before this we can put a title otherwise it will show on browser name as a link.

<title>Whatever you want to put tittle here just write it</title> This is also under head. I almost forgot. You need to close head and html tags. <head> and <html> . For now you can save and see how it look like later on we can add more. How you will save it. Same like css go file click to save as ( this is important ) Write name as index.html and change document type as text document and click ok. save it also in same folder you create first. Now open folder and click on index.html. It will open in your browser a page but no one can see it yet because you did not publish it yet. If you want to add new things inside you have to open it right click and click "open with" choose note pad or word pad.


  Actually professionals mostly first design website and later on put all coding inside. Designing means is like where i will put header where sidebar will stay what i will put in footer etc. What kind of pictures and crop and clean them on Photoshop etc.. If you will use flash, java applet or any applications where and how etc.. So we are not professional yet so no worry.

I will continue this later on. And change this site little bit more. I did not test yet so can be some faults there.

Alexa, Quantcast, Complete Rank

How can you know what your website ranking? There are several ways but some websites provide this service. Most famous one is alexa which is a product of amazon. It is the big and most popular one. Other alternatives can be quantcast and complete rank.

How to use alexa? It has a toolbar. So i suggest you to download it and use it. It is more practical. It will tell you any websites rank automatically  you visit. Also you can visit the website and get more detailed analyse. For keywords search you can use it too. I always use alexa too.

Quantcast, you need to sign up, register etc.. I do not like it much but it is quiet good an alternative for alexa.

Complete rank i did not check it yet so i do not know much but i will soon.

You can also use google trends for checking keywords. 

Old Bali Photos

Collection of old Bali pictures. Nostalgic photos about Bali. Some taken by locals some taken by pioneer expats. You can see Balinese women are topless. In 1950s it was still common. Even now you can see some old women still doing it in villages or bathing on small rivers naked.

You can hear anytime from old expats Bali was like this and that in old times. They are missing that times i guess.

Borobudur

Borobudur or Barabudur Buddhist temple, stupa and monument. One of the world's largest temple. Located in middle of Java Island in Magelang area. If you visit Bali or Indonesia you should see this place. It is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. There are many Buddha statues inside of temple. It built in 9th century during Sailendra Dynasty. But who built it and what for is not clear. But later on abandoned probably because of Indonesia converted to other religions many times or can be volcanoes and migrations.

What is oxidative stress?

I am sure every of you heard about anti-oxidants. But you do not know what really antioxidants for? You need oxygen for life and living. At same time oxygen can kill you too.


Oxidation in your body, like rust effect oxygen in metals. In process of energy production some free radicals will appear as waste of materials. Just like exhaust of fuel oil.

How your body deal with that? Your body needs things which called anti-oxidants to deal with them. Which is vitamins, minerals, vitamin-like compounds etc..

Books about Bali

During your vacation in Bali you can read some books about Bali. I will gather some of them here.


Maybe most famous one is Eat, Pray, Love because of they shoot movie about it which Julia Roberts playing in.

Eat, Pray, Love -by Elizabeth Gilbert                         Sekala &  Niskala - by Fred B. Eiseman

Advanced Search Box

For a while i try to make a search box for blogger especially for real estate bloggers like a word press plugins. I do not know if it is possible. It is probably related with API.  I searched a lot for it but could not find anything what i looking for.

It can be possible i guess. So anybody wants to cooperate please do not hesitate.

I think this is a big difference between blogger and word press. It is what i saw in a few months since i started this blog.

So let me explain what i want to do.

There will be a gadget or page. And it will be a search box. People can search a property with a few criteria. Result will match up all criteria. For example Location, price, bed, will be boxes. There will be a button to execute too. When text written to input it can find result as only 1 criteria match up. This is one problem. It will search by labels. That i know how to do it anyway. Search box will be pre-selected option. And it will search only in your site/ blog of course. It looks like blogger has no gadget for this so we should build it together.



I will put my example below later on. If anyone knows how to do it please give a hand.

Thanks for now.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana

Entrance to park

On top of the Nusa Dua Hill, Bukit, Uluwatu area. If someday it finished it can hold worlds highest statue record ( 146 mt. ).

Banjar

Banjar means community in Bali. If you are Balinese local person, you are member of this community. Like in every village or street there are Banjars. All of them linked to each other. It is like a big mechanical machine. They handle things communal. Including religion ceremonies, traditions, administrative things. It is something like a local government i can say. They have also security. Which you also have to attend it if you are member of them.

In agricultural system, in the world they chosen as best agricultural system by UN. In fact its name Subak which is like a branch of Banjar responsible from agricultural things like farms and livestock etc.

Search Box

Here is a simple 'search box' code:





<form action="/search">
    <label for="q">Search:</label>
    <input type="text" name="q" id="q">

 </form>






It will look like this, without button, just type and enter. It will search into your website.

Search:




If you want it search on google or any other site you have to write google url or website url before search. Like "https://www.google.com/search" instead of "/search" .

<form action="https://www.google.com/search">
    <label for="q">Search:</label>
    <input type="text" name="q" id="q">

 </form>

    Search:
   

Later on i will show more complicated search boxes here.

Beagle

Beagle is cutest dog in the world maybe. I do not know maybe because I have a beagle. They are very cute but very hard to train while they have fame with their talent of smelling. Beagle is one of the best smelling skill dog in the world. And this skill makes them a hunter. You can see them always their nose on the ground like they always searching for something.

People sometimes mixing this dog with Foxhound, Smooth Fox Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier etc.. Once my friend also told me about my dog " aaa isn' it Mask' dog? " . In the movie of Mask the dog was Jack Russell Terrier but not a Beagle. Beagles are more shorter than all of those 3 breeds. And more smooth lines. Not maybe Mask' dog but caricature and cartoon movie character Snoopy is a Beagle. If they can be trained (which is not very easy ) they are very good hound dogs for rabbits, squirrel, etc... not for the birds. But be careful if you have chickens at your place they will always chase them and injure them instinctively.  They can trace or can help narcotic police well. They are also very good with kids. You do not need to worry about that or with the other dogs also generally they are good. But sometimes with big dogs or more dominant dogs you can have problems. Also like every breeds has a specific health problems Beagles also have some. Beagles mostly tent to have allergic. Most of Beagle owners probably have this problem. It is probably a genetic problem in this breed. Other health issues hypothyroidism, progressive retinal atrophy, cataract, epilepsy and atopy is common in this breed. Beagles' origin is Britannia. So well yes they are English except their accent. They can be in different colors sometimes but standard Beagles usually has 3 colors on lower body and legs usually white upper body is light brown with black big spots. Usually Dog contests, breeders, kennels will check that colors or their stands ( if there is something wrong on their legs etc..).

They are good with owner but you still need a leash for them while you go to wandering around with them. Because they can suddenly run and will not listen you. My dog lost at least 5 times and he could not find home. Beagles brain is not very well focus on things. They can also make your next doors annoyed too if you leave them alone at home by barking. They are highly energetic dogs while they are small. So you need a house with a garden but with fences. they can chew your goods too. But it will be gone around 2 years age like most of dogs do. Dogs like to chew things when they are young and Beagles also like. Because of their teeth. You can buy them some toys for that but  I did not see this solving the problem much. So just let they do it. If you can not cope with it. Just do not have any dog. They also need vaccines ( depends on where you live in because some areas have epidemic problems some not ) periodicly (it also depends on what vaccine brand your vet using because some brands can be every years some 3 to 5 years) and worm tablets when they were young. And sterile them if you like. 

 Life expectancy is around 12-15 years like most of the dogs. So it means like most of other pets they will die before you do. So be ready for it. It is nature.

They are also recognized breeds from lots of organizations ( like American Kennel Club ) and one of the most famous dog breed.

Bali Kites Festival

It is the season now, July. Not only for tourism but for Balinese people kite season. You can see a lot of kites on air flying everyday. Every July it is annually organized in  Padang Galak, Sanur Beach. Banjars (villages) race for winning competion with their giant kites. Sometimes they put blades on kites and try to rip off other kites. Kites usually made by bamboo and nylon here.  Kites can be sometimes 10- 15 meters long and lot of people carry it.  In fact it is a religious festival more than a kite festival in Balinese Hinduism.




If you are here on july you should see this event on Sanur Beach. You can not go there you will see a lot of kites around the island anyway.


There are 3 types of kites.

Bebean - Fish
Janggan - Bird
Pecukan - Leaf
