| Q.. |
.What about Search Engines? |
| |
A. |
There’s no quick and easy answer to this one. You need to begin by having search-engine friendly content that is rich with keywords that the search engines will recognize. A few years ago, there was no fee to submit your site to the major search engines, but that has changed. If you are a business, many search engines today require a fee to be considered for a listing. If you want to submit to a particular search engine, be sure to read their requirements.
You are always more than welcome to Contact Us, should you have any search engine related questions. |

| Q.. |
Sometimes when I print a web page part of it doesn't print or is cut off. How do I fix this? |
| |
A.. |
If you are trying to print a web page while using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser you may encounter this problem. This problem is not due to the design of the web site, but rather with the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser itself. Depending on what server pack you have the default printer setting may be set to 0.75, which will cause web pages printed to be cut off.
This problem is easily fixed. While in Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to "File" on the menu bar at the top of your screen. Under "File" look for "Page Setup", this will pull up the Page Setup box. You want to find the area which says "Margins", this should be located near the bottom of the box. Change the settings for the left and right margin to 0.25. After you are finished just hit "OK" and that's it. You should only have to do this the one time, if you see the problem another time, please go back and check the setting again.
This type of default setting has not been detected in Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla or other browsers. If you do encounter this problem with one of the other browsers, try finding the page setup and adjust it accordingly. |
