You might have heard about Google Sitemaps somewhere along the line somewhere.

But what is a Google Sitemap and how can it help you? Well, we are all concerned with getting 'more traffic' to our websites, not so? Google Sitemaps can help with that - although I have to warn that it is not a major 'traffice generator' tool, its purpose is more to help you with identifying problems with your site as well as help you track how Google views your site. There is a lot of material to cover but I will try and keep it short and digestible.

Ever wondered what 1337 meant?

Hacker "Sp33k" for leet, or elite. Originating from 31337 "eleet", the UDP port used by Dead Cow Cult, a hacker group, to access Windows 95 using Back Orifice, a notorious hacking program.

I recently decided to give an overhaul to my site's look and feel. This was mostly due to an article that I read about the elements of Web 2.0 design. The full article can be found here:

Current style in web design.

When I started my site a little less than a year ago I purchased a commercial Joomla template and while it was... OK, I always felt that it lacked a certain panache.

After I read the article I realised why I felt that way.
This is what my website looked like before the makeover.
