Help support Alfie Hackett

Please help us support Alfie’s parents.

this is why:

When her waters broke after just 20 weeks, Lord Williams’s School teacher Amy Hackett was told her son wouldn’t survive to birth. Now 17 months old, little Alfie has defied all the odds and is still fighting. He is in intensive care as a result of contracting bronchiolitis for the fifth time this year.

He has just been taken off the ventilator and is doing well. Unfortunately, this is the third time he has been ventilated. And if he was to catch bronchiolitis RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) positive the outcome could be a lot worse. There is a vaccination that could reduce the severity of RSV infection but unfortunately due to his age, Alfie cannot get this on the NHS.

They have the opportunity to buy the vaccination ourselves but it is very expensive, which is why it is rarely given. Please help us raise the funds required

thanks

What is Page Speed Online?

Page Speed Online analyzes the content of a web page, then generates suggestions to make that page faster. Reducing page load times can reduce bounce rates and increase conversion rates.

Why is Page Speed Online?


Because Google uses this in their calculations to rank your website so it is important.

Does Google have any preferred method for image galleries?

Posted in Google, SEO on October 25th, 2010 by venmore – Be the first to comment

We are creating a new site that contains an image gallery.
Been looking for Google advice on such an item but no joy, anyone know?
Are image names important?
Best to have all images on separate pages for SEO or use some JQuery to build something fancy?

Google’s new image format

Posted in Browsers, Google on October 5th, 2010 by venmore – Be the first to comment

Google’s new WebP image format for the web offer greater compression than is achievable via JPEG or PNG.

Now that ranking takes into account page load times, this is something we should all see appearing in a browser near you very soon. Just need the editors like PhotoShop or GIMP to support it.
