Darksat It Security Forum.

As you might know about Darksats forum it is relatively knew only have a couple of members some I remember from searchmebaby and web-mastery Their is around 5 daily users of this forum, which is good as it is a new forum.

The forum covers many things from hardware to web designing, but as you might have guessed the main topic is to do with internet security it is a great laugh with the members their already after a couple of month I have learned so much about protecting my computer or even about other operating systems.

Their isn’t much of a story behind it (that i know off) but all i remember of Darksat was he used to post a lot on web-mastery and disappeared for a couple of years which was when i joined, everyone used to talk about him a lot on the forum, and curious at why he disappeared (mainly Anthony).

So go and check it out if your interested in IT security it really has a lot of information on how to protect yourself when surfing the net or any other way to protect your computer if you can’t find what you need just ask you will get a very good response.

Neurton2K The Forums

Today it is time for n2kdesign.co.uk which originated from Justin’s personal website neutron2k.co.uk the old website was partly webdesigning and partly about Guitars.

So what happened was he made a new website dedicated to web design / development and moved everything web design related to that website this included his resources and forums, so we have a brand new website to talk on :).

So the members their isn’t really many to talk about but theirs some good members the one who was their from the start was Sioby she was on the old neutron2k.co.uk site and also n2kdesign.co.uk site but she left, then their was Chris also from web-mastery.net he wasn’t exactly a dedicated member but he did post some good content and then disappeared.

To boost traffic Justin stared a competition for a £10 Amazon gift voucher for the most active user which gave a massive boost in crap posted :p but we saw two new faces pop up one of Justin’s friends nhaines and also bexster but their not exactly dedicated nhaines hasn’t been back and bexster isn’t interested in web designing.

Web-Mastery.net Brilliant Webmaster Forum

This week I’m going to dedicate my blog to a couple of websites which have helped learn everything I know now and today I will start with my first ever forum I’ve joined which was Web-Mastery.net.

The early days of this forum was amazing we had Edwin, Darren, Heather, Anthony, Raven, Neutron2k and Chris. It was the best forum going they had the nicest community ever loads more members which I can’t be bothered to remember the names of but it was really a good website if you had any questions at all they would answer it and give you a essay on it I really did love the website its where my web designing and development started.

But after when Anthony left it did seem to go down hill I saw this coming as Anthony was in the heart of the community he was a laugh to talk to but disappointed when he made a scene and left (well got banned).

Promoting Your Weblog Do’s And Don’ts

Well I have put together ways to promote your weblogs in a list going form good to bad. At the top you will have ones that you should subscribe to for lots of visitors and going towards the bottom will be ones which arn’t bad, so here we go.

Mybloglog.com - This is a really good website as it allows you to talk to other blog owners add yourself to other communities which then will get your blog known the more ‘contacts’ you have the more visitors you have.

Digg.com - Well its slowly going down hill but you can still get a lot of visitors if people digg you, now this is annoying but it can be done maybe asking friends to digg you or things like that.

MySpace.com - This has the good concept of adding friends again which will get you more repeat visitors its easy to get friends just pick one profile and work your way up from their adding all the people you can find you might end up with maybe 2000 friends but that’s a lot of visitors if your just advertising for your website.

Zboard Ultimare Gaming Keyboard

The other day my new keyboard arrived its supposed to be a keyboard that allows multiple uses for example gaming and normal office work which is what my computer is used for so I got my keyboard with two keysets one for typing and the other for gaming as for the gaming layout it was awful their is I big gap between the key T, Y also G, H and B, N which really mucks up your typing as you cannot touch type unless you get used to two different keyboard layouts which is very annoying.So I went out and brought the World Of Warcraft keyset which has the normal layout with not gaps in it and also has what the buttons do on the game for example it has arrows on WASD and also has all the emotions as a short cut and loads of commands on the right where the numbers where. It is a massive help in the game especially when your a newbie getting used to all the shortcuts.
