This is easy.  Deco Mobile now has a code you can place in the header section of your splash page that will automatically bring up your mobile website.

The code is:

<script language=javascript>
if((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)))
{
location.href=’http://YOUR URL/FOLDER NAME FOR YOUR mobilesite‘;
}
</script>

To put it in your FlashPalette website splash page you will have to do it manually, but it’s not hard.

1. Go to your My Documents/Flashpalette Website folder.

2. click on your index.html file in that folder.

3. For PC users right click and open with note pad, for mac users Control-Click on the file’s icon, then select text edit.

4. You will see a page of writing, look for the code htat says </HEAD>

5.  copy the code below to your index page placing it just before the </HEAD> tag.

<script language=javascript>
if((navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)) || (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i)))
{
location.href=’http://YOUR URL/FOLDER NAME FOR YOUR mobilesite‘;
}
</script>

6. Change the line in red.   you will want it to have your URL and your folder name that you gave your mobile website.

7. Click save as — then save as index.html  We recommend you save it to a separate folder. This way your editor will not overwrite the changes you have made to the page when you update other parts of your website.

8. Load the new index.html page on your server, making sure to over-write the old file.

Here are today’s finds:

Do you ever wonder about selling gift cards and the rules that you need to be aware of?  If so this is the site for you. It lists each states requirements for a business that sells a gift card.

Do you have a polaroid? Did you stock up on film when they stopped production?  Did you miss out and worry that you will never be able to find one?  If so worry no more they are coming out with a new polaroid camera and it is going to use the same film, the 600.  This means you can dust off your old one or head out and get a new one.  Check out the new polaroid

We know that often right after the holidays you have time to create a new website, but not always the funds. To help you out we have reduced the price ALL of our websites. We did this so that you can change up you with out feeling the pinch in your pocket book.

In addition we have some great plans for specials in the month ahead.  Think extra discounts for existing clients, new features and many other exciting things!

The FlashPalette editors accept only the file format of MP3, so if you music is downloaded in another format you will need to convert it to a MP3 file.

The use of music is a personal choise. Some use it for the whole website, others use it in just their galleries.  However, one thing you need to be aware of is that you can not use just any music on your website .  Music, just like images, is copyrighted.  Even though you may purchase a song from I-Tunes that does not give you the right to use the music on a website or in a slideshow.   You need to have permission from the song’s creator to do this.  The best bet is to use royalty free music on your website.

Here are some of our favorite places to get Royaly Free Music:

1. Find up and coming artists and email them, often for credit they will let you use their songs.

2. Use A royalty free music site.

Music Bakery offers a great selection of Royalty free music

Triple Scoop Is where we have purchased all our royalty free music for our demo sites.

Stock  20 - Offers a great selection and has lyrical music through it’s partner Red Beard Music

Take Care!

However, that said I cam back to my office and found a mountin of work to sort through.  A I pulled out a disc to back up a client session — I was remined that I have not backed up my own website files and blog for a while.

To help protect your self against overwriting your site files or worse a complete computer crash. I suggest you make a back up of your website every-time you make major changes to your site.  I do a copy to an external and one to disc.  I like to have multiple copies, but you will find the method that works for you.  This way you will always have the latest copy handy to reload, should you ever misplace, overwrite or lose your site files!

Have a great monday!
