Good friendly advice (british & turkish staff)

here are some of the hot keys i used to do my last blog

screen captures are handy for showing of programs or utilities

Here’s How:

1. To capture the entire desktop, press Command-Shift-3. The screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop.
2. To copy the entire desktop, press Command-Control-Shift-3. The screen shot will be placed on your clipboard for you to paste into another program.
3. To capture a portion of the desktop, press Command-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop. (The file is saved as PDF in Mac OS 10.3 and earlier.)
4. To capture a specific application window, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Spacebar. The cursor will change to a camera, and you can move it around the screen. As you move the cursor over an application window, the window will be highlighted. The entire window does not need to be visible for you to capture it. When you have the cursor over a window you want to capture, just click the mouse button and the screen shot will be saved as a PNG file on your desktop. (The file is saved as PDF in Mac OS 10.3 and earlier.)
5. Add Control to the two shortcuts above to place the screen shot on the clipboard instead of saving it to the desktop.
6. Another method for capturing screen shots in Mac OS X is by using the bundled Apple utility, Grab, located in the Applications > Utilities folder. Grab is useful if you need to include a cursor or a menu in your screen shot, or if you want to save your screen shot to TIFF format. To include a cursor, first go to Grab Preferences and select the cursor icon you wish to have in your screen shot. To capture the screen with Grab, run Grab, then choose of the capture modes from the "Capture" menu: Selection, Window, Screen, Timed Screen.
7. When you choose the Selection mode in Grab, you can capture a specific region of the screen by dragging around it. Grab will display a tooltip showing the size of the region you have selected and the screen shot will open in a window when you release the mouse button. The cursor will not be included.
8. When you choose the Window mode in Grab, an instruction window will appear asking you to select the window you wish to capture, then click the "Choose Window" button. When you click the button, the instructions will disappear and the window you click ill be captured, including the mouse cursor at the position where you click (if a cursor was selected in Preferences).
9. When you choose the Screen mode in Grab, an instruction window will appear asking you to click the screen when you are ready to capture. The mouse cursor will be included in your screen shot at the position where you click (if a cursor was selected in Preferences).
10. When you choose the Timed Screen mode in Grab, an instruction window will appear, allowing you to prepare your screen for capture. When you are ready, press the "Start Timer" button and you will have ten seconds before the screen is captured. This allows you to open menus and sub-menus, if necessary. After ten seconds the entire screen will be captured. The mouse cursor will be included in your screen shot if a cursor was selected in Preferences.

Recently my SEO work has overtaken my computer consulting which I cant really grumble about considering I dont have to leave my chair to work!! Yes I do have some techniques i dont want to give away to some of my blog followers but I dont mind sharing my reporting software!! I use a website ranking software called Advanced Web Ranking which is top notch for reporting and is cross platform which is awesome – so you can setup this software on your apple mac – linux box or windows platform and your away!! I have installed this on a linux box and on a apple mac and it was a breeze – applied for a trial licence which i got back the key prompt I then added my first site and got the software to import my keywords in from the site so i didnt have to type it all again which is very handy!! I then moved on to pick which search engines i wanted it to test my keywords on, you can update the search engines every now and then but i know which search engines im interested in so i picked for a quick report google UK, yahoo UK, msn UK for a fast report – on bigger reports i selected ask UK and a few other big UK search angines AOL etc..  just go make yourself a nice cup of coffee ..

The software then looks at the search engines you picked and submits the keywords you have in your site or what keywords you specify the process can take up to a hour deending on internet speed and keywords and search engines you picked. I think its better to pick the UK sites if you are interested in the UK audience and US if you want to extend to .com. After the campaign finishes you can get the software to make specific reports which can be set in the software it will give you your positions for the keywords in the specific search engines. One of my keyword searches was lancaster computers which i was happy to see i am number one in google Uk and google.com, some my other keywords which are not so hot I can work on and then wait till my report re-generates next month to see if my technique has moved up the search engine.

One of the handy things about the software for my company is that my SEO is always ongoing so im always working on search engines and source code for the different sites – the reporting software is just so easy – you can set it up so automatically run at a certain time of day / month etc and then you can get the software to automatically send the reports by email to the client with a specific set of rules on the report also a big bonus it will attach your company logo just giving it that finishing touch !

Ive tested other reporting software on linux and apple mac’s but this is by far the best software i have found – when i first got the software one of the features I wanted was a submit facility which i noticed this had, when i came to submit i just got a list of search engines to submit to but I expected a auto submit – but this is just lazy and not really a good way of doing the job – I now submit manually using the list in the software which is very good and proved and tested in various industries in the area, some of the industries are computers , home care , security  health , home improvement, plasterers – all these companies are number one in google and other good search engines – they basically have gone from no activity to be very active sites.

10 / 10 for this software i just need to play with the advanced link manager to see what this can do to get even more results!!! I see the software comes in three different price ranges starting at $99 which is a good price for the tool you are getting – Lancaster computers fully recommends you give this a trial if you are serious about web results and getting your sites to the top of the search engines

Some of the other awr features I’m going to look at over the next week which sound cool are the keyword research tool as I’ve been using a few other techniques to carry out this operation which can be a bit painful plus I noticed wordtracker plugin to track keyword relevance which sounds handy and is a free service.. I see the project manager is only available in the pro version which would make the useage of the software easier if you are a bigger outfit. Im also looking at the competing site feature which will be handy to see if any other computer outfits can touch me in the area on the web optimisation side! which i doubt it unless they go sponsored ha ha!! so many other features to get my head around in this software package – what a great bit of kit – just ask any of my clients about my SEO im getting results you wouldnt believe – today i got another call from W & J Plasterers got a massive contract in from liverpool from lancaster computers SEO – Please feel free to contact us if you need your site finding in the search engines – as you can see we use all the finest tools and AWR is one of our gems

I knew i was right – our little friend gets the boot from his own company and his little follower goes aswell – that was so on the cards – like i said how sad it is when you can only keep your job because your up someones asssss!!! so what next? get a job at your best m8′s new company? or maybe be a man and get a job you can do properly and on your own two feet – oh i forgot that takes time effort and one thing you may notice you may be lacking ….

havent blogged for a while!! but ive decided to give facebook a break for a while

ive got quiet a few macs kicking around the hose and was just looking for another mac mini for the back of the house – i found a old shuttle computer amd 3000 with nforce and a beefy nvidia card so i thought id try some hackintosh just to save a few quid! seeing ive got a couple of grand sat in apple macs why shouldnt i get a treat !! anyway i torrented idenneb 10.5.6 burnt the iso to a dvd and booted of it – selected a few items on the added options – nvidia injector / ac97 audio / nforce drivers. Clicked install and 20 mins later – mac osx running a treat !!! sound works 100% and tested games 3D acceleration no problems !!! gta vice city with crossover games and sims 3 worked fine. I dont t hink its fair just start hacking your boxes to unlicenced copies of apple mac osx but if you have payed quiet a lot of money out why the hell shouldnt you get a treat !
