Internet pioneer Tim Berners-Lee wants to see a truth rating hit the net in the near future. This comes off the back of the Large Hadron Collider experiment which was rumoured to be able to create black holes and swallow up the universe, a comment that was invented and spread on the net.

“On the web the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable…A sort of conspiracy theory of sorts and which you can imagine spreading to thousands of people and being deeply damaging.”

Berners-Lee believed a rating was needed and that it should be policed by various people and organisations. His comments came at the launch of his new foundation the World Wide Web Foundation, aimed at putting the web all over the globe.

Gordon Browns new web site, Number 10 TV, has had a pretty sorry launch. Users were greeted with the dreaded 404 error message.
According to Downing Street this is “what happens when you launch a new site”…Is it really?!

When you’ve completed your x/html page which is using CSS div tags/classes, you may have a tag or class that doesn’t appear to be functioning properly. Maybe an image isn’t centred, maybe it doesn’t have a border, or maybe the font is not bold - Basically whatever elements you added to that rule are not displaying properly. So what to do?
Firstly, take a sanity check. Has the last set of rules been completed? Do they all have semi-colons at the end and a closing curly bracket? Look at this example:

#div1{
element: option;
element: option
element: option;

#div2{
element: option;
element: option;
element: option;
}

Div1 element two is missing the closing semi-colon. Also the div does not have a curly bracket ( } ) so div2 won’t function on your page. To fix this you need the semi-colon and the closing bracket so it will look like this:

#div1{
element: option;
element: option;
element: option;
}

#div2{
element: option;
element: option;
element: option;
}

Pretty basic stuff. So whats wrong with this following example?

#1stdivbox{
element: option;
element: option;
element: option;
}

#div2{
element: option;
element: option;
element: option;
}

Semi-colons and curly brackets are both present so all should be good. Actually, you can’t start a div tag with a number. Basically its seen as a dimension and therefore doesn’t function.
In CSS1, an id name could start with a digit (”#55ft”), unless it was a dimension (”#55in”). In CSS2, such ids are parsed as unknown dimensions (to allow for future additions of new units) To make “.1stdiv” a valid id, CSS2 requires the first digit to be escaped (”#\31stdiv”) - W3C Explaining why starting a tag with a number may not work how you want it to.
If you’ve done these quick sanity checks and its not working run it through the W3C CSS validator and see what errors come out. Its always best to use validated xhtml and css as it will cause less problems and helps ease cross browser compatibility. It will also help with parent/child issues which can get quite complicated. Keep your CSS simple and logical. Good luck!

If this is something you’ve seen browsing the net, then its probably a scam. In Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) there are no guarantees. Google grades each site with an estimated 250 parameters. To get 100% on all these is virtually impossible as some contradict the others and whilst some people claim to know what each parameter is, Google have never published them.
Individuals and agencies claiming to know how to ‘cheat’ Google is a fatal mistake. Google hand out harsh penalties to any site breaking the rules. Invisible text (where the webmaster makes text the same colour as the background and adds as many keywords as possible) and non-related meta tags are the two biggest rule breakers. Google make these rules to make the web accessible and to make their search results relevant to the keywords you entered. To even begin getting results you have to go ‘with’ Google rather than ‘against’ it.
A large part of Google’s parameters (something that is actually on Googles help section) are links. Find the prime keywords for your site and type them in to Google. You can find out from Google how many incoming links the top site has by typing “Links: yourtopcompetitorswebad.com”. Its likely to be a few thousand, So to Guarantee a brand new site number one on Google is impossible. It can takes years to build up quality links to your site and requires a lot of time and patience.
