Webmaster Tips

Before we introduce our online tools for webmasters, I'd like to thank Ian Conklin and OTR Web Systems for hosting VSDA Web Awards. Your assistance, advice, patience and friendship are greatly appreciated!

We have decided to remove the existing tips. Please be assured that this is NOT because they weren't useful tools. But, they were created under the previous ownership and we can't take credit for something that isn't ours. If you have any suggestions for this section or if you've found useful tools or sites that you'd like to recommend, please feel free to Contact Us.


The Alt= Attribute - Putting it to Good Use
One of our Evaluators, Peter Stevens, has taken the time to present a comprehensive explanation about the Alt attribute and why it's important to use it. Many people simply don't understand the Alt attribute or the important role it plays. So...no more excuses about not using the Alt attribute because you don't understand it! Peter has made it easy to understand in this straight-forward article. For your convenience, we're making Peter's article available in printable PDF format. READ ARTICLE >> ( PDF is 52mb and will open in a separate browser window ).

Tired Of Wasting Time?
This site is for all Photo Shop users who are tired of repeating the same steps over and over. Stop wasting time and learn how to automate repetitve tasks. The ATN Central website provides literally hundreds of Actions that you can use in Photo Shop.

A big mistake website owners and administrators make is submitting a web page that is not search engine friendly. There is a ton of information on the WWW on this subject and it can be quite overwhelming! The following websites offer some basic and easy-to-follow tips and tools for generating useful Meta Tags:

Download Accelerator Plus ( DAP )
This tool is a must-have for those still using dial-up connections. For those with high speed connections, it can make your life a bit easier, too! DAP offers a free tool that allows you to download files more quickly by finding the fastest sources (websites) for the file you want, then splitting the file into several pieces & downloading them at the same time, making the most of your connection speed. Learn more about DAP .

Calling All Font Freaks
Nobody can ever have enough fonts! 1001 Free Fonts is a good resource for locating just font you need to create that special effect you're looking for. Fonts are organized alphabetically, are displayed nicely, and are easy to download. Please don't ignore the "Read Me" documents that come with the download. Some fonts are authorized for personal use only and require permission from the author for use in commercial applications.

Free Photo Shop Brushes
A big "Thanks" to our Evaluator, Jo Phillips, for finding this great site for downloading really cool free brushes for Adobe Photo Shop. Visit GetBrushes.Com for more information! And for Paint Shop Pro users, there are links on this site for you, too!
