Google Indexing Flash...

Hi Everyone!

Google has now stated it is crawling Flash content in their Blog HERE. There is still the same caveat, that it only reads text and not images. SWF files are read, but not FLV (like YouTube) files as they contain no text.

How will this change things for SEO? Not massively for most of us, but it will help to push the use of Flash forward. This will lead to some more interesting sites, but some more garish ones too! It will be intriguing for me to see if this changes how programs like BannerZest construct their code or not for our advantage. It will surely please Adobe, who have improved Flash considerably in the last few years.

Our other hope at WK, is that smaller useful applications creating Flash (like BannerZest) will be inspired to push their boundaries as their use base may well increase. This with the inevitable upward speeds of the internet itself, will keep us all on our toes to provide the websites our clients want.

More Forums...

Hi all,

Times are mad and busy! We have been trying to help out a great RapidWeaver Theme developer Robbie White on his new Forum HERE. His themes have some of the most unique ideas going around, but as life appears to have dealt Robbie a few curved balls recently, a bit of help was well deserved, and several of us from the RapidWeaver Forum have been popping in to check if there are any questions to answer! Not may yet, but it's all good. You can see Plasma Pro in action on WebKarnage.co.uk, as I try out some of the killer features!

We have a few ideas to work with, and there will be a new tutorial inside the next 10 days or so, and more inside the next month. The first tutorial will focus on simple HTML and CSS for use in RapidWeaver's Styled Text page type. Gradually learning a few bits of this can hugely change what you can do, and help you realize what options are open to you.

Short but sweet this one, and I'll post back when a new Tutorial appears!

Love to all you weavers out there!
