My web design blog is now available online.

Drawing on the Web runs in on WordPress, installed in my account at Powweb.

There are four new articles:

• Serendipity vs WordPress, day 1
• Search Engine Friendly Pages
• Improve Usability of Your Website
• Drawing on the Web

I”ve been using the new Translation Gold web scripts on my sites for a few weeks now and I”m impressed.

This is a great idea for a content-based site, especially if you”re trying to make some money with pay-per-click advertising such as Adsense or Chitika eMiniMalls (Yahoo Publisher Network is still “US Only”).

After a week or so, I began to see foreign language search queries in my web sites” logs — a sign that Google was picking up the translated pages and providing them to searchers!

Try Translation Gold now..

I”ve just purchased and implemented translation software at my various sites:

• Terry”s Computer Tips,
• Terry”s Computer Tips - the blog,
• TerryStockdale.com, and
• The Next Window - my general blog
• Terry”s Home Theater

Check out the translation flags at the bottom of the page - you can view the site in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.

This is a great idea for a content-based site, especially if you”re trying to make some money with pay-per-click advertising such as Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network or Chitika eMiniMalls.

I”m using some new web site translation software that is fantastic and easy to install.
