Motivating Employees
I’ve been to many, many seminars on management and supervision. I’ve read hundreds of books and talked with more people than I care to admit. For many years, I searched for the answer to the question: “What motivates employees?”
Getting Quality Visitors to Your Web Site
When I had uploaded my first page at www.tripod.com, I used to log on tens of times in a day to check the number of hits on my site. Even an increase of one unit used to increase the speed of blood in my veins.
But, no matter how hard I tried I never got listed in the search engines. It was a collection of my short stories. In two months, I just got a few hits from my sister, my cousins and a few of my friends.
Does Google Index Dynamic Pages?
Is it posible to index in Google a dynamic page like the ones you have in your site? For example: http://www.insideoutmarketing.com/index.php?p=sections&sid=7 I developped a Content Management System that creates dynamic menus and pages and each link of each item of the menu point to a category of articles and each title of each article points to the entire article using its number like this: http://astursistemas.com/demo/index.php?categoria_no=17 (category No.17, sorry it is in spanish) http://astursistemas.com/demo/Articulos.php?articulo_no=16 (article No. 16)
If I submit the above URLs to Google, will they be indexed?
UI Design for Web Application Usability: Clutter and Clarity
Crafting a well-designed user interface for a web application is never a trivial task. It’s the one thin layer that lies between the human user and the not-so-human computer. That’s a large communication gap to bridge especially when you are trying to communicate complex system functionality across a broad user base of varying experience. A hallmark of any good UI is its ability to be used effectively by both novice and expert users alike. It is striking a balance between these two oftentimes-conflicting user bases that poses the greatest difficulty.
For novice users, clarity is of utmost importance; for expert users, efficiency. Icons and shortcut keys afford efficiencies for expert users while a fully expounded UI affords clarity for novice users. Unfortunately, here within lies the problem. The UI elements that afford efficiencies for expert users cause confusion amongst novice users. The details required of a fully expounded UI that facilitate understanding amongst novice users clutter the system for expert users. It boils down to this, clarity comes at a price – that price is clutter. By understanding the user population of the application and using an “upgrades gracefully” design, you can design a UI that strikes a balance to best achieve overall system efficacy amongst all users as a whole.
Do You Have What It Takes?
It was a simple, rather quiet affair, no big splash, no thousands of guests and catered dinner. There wasn’t a polka band or DJ spinning the top forty.

Grow Sales Using Image Tactics
In my dreams, I envision being the marketing consultant equivalent of Oprah or Tiger Woods. Oprah, for her premise, “You’re a woman and only you are responsible for yourself.” Tiger Woods, for his ultimate dedication to the game. Respectively, this is what they’re known for or what their personal value can be identified as; put another way, this is what their brand identities are.
Effective Web site Usability
The other day I saw this photograph in a magazine which showed a steaming tea cattle, with its handle on the same side as its nozzle [or the mouth, or whatever it is called], with a caption, “A Sadistic Product Design.” In the same way, there are sites that are, sometimes it seems, specifically designed to give you the jitters, despite having the relevant content.
As a person who has just started designing web sites, I have some ideas about usability of a web site which I’m going to present pointwise.
