Search Within a Timeframe in google

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Daterange: (start date–end date). You can restrict your searches to pages that were indexed within a certain time period. Daterange: searches by when Google indexed a page, not when the page itself was created. This operator can help you ensure that results will have fresh content (by using recent dates), or you can use it to avoid a topic’s current-news blizzard and concentrate only on older results. Daterange: is actually more useful if you go elsewhere to take advantage of it, because daterange: requires Julian dates, not standard Gregorian dates. You can find converters on the Web (such as http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/JulianDate.html), but an easier way is to do a Google daterange: search by filling in a form at www.researchbuzz.com/toolbox/goofresh.shtml or www.faganfinder.com/engines/google.shtml. If one special syntax element is good, two must be better, right? Sometimes. Though some operators can’t be mixed (you can’t use the link: operator with anything else) many can be, quickly narrowing your results to a less overwhelming number.

Creating HTML Hyperlinks within a Web Page

Monday, July 14th, 2008

The ANCHOR tag is used to create a hyperlink within a web page.

To link to a web page within the same directory of your web site, you only need to include the page name within your HTML code.

<A HREF=”yourpage.html”>Text</A>

When linking to a web page within your web site in a different directory, you must include the directory name with your page name.

<A HREF=”yourdirectory/yourpage.html”>Text</A>

When linking to another web site, you must include the full URL.

<A HREF=”http://www.site.com”>Text</A>

Enlarging Text Size within a Web Page

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Although you can enlarge web page  text with the FONT tag, you also use the BIG tag.

The BIG tag is used to increase the size of your font. You can add additional BIG tags, side by side, to increase your font size even further. For each additional BIG tag you use, your font size will increase.

HTML Code:

<BIG>Your Text</BIG>

Browser View:

Your Text

HTML Code:

<BIG><BIG>Your Text</BIG></BIG>

Browser View:

Your Text

The BIG tag can be used in place of the FONT tag, as they both perform the same task.

Example Font Tag:

<FONT size=”3″>
