So lets see.. so far we have put up a directory and i have edited it slightly with css so whats next?
Well i've made further improvements to the look of the site including some cool sports icons for each category (which i especially like), i did these quite simply in photoshop creating a rollover effect using css to change the background colour when the mouse hovers over the image (without being too technical). Check it out ----> Sports Directory

We have also constantly been improving the SEO (search engine optimization) of the site by adding relevant keywords and more informative titles. Other importantt aspects in SEO include providing 2 sitemaps (an html one and an xml sitemap which is used by google) and providing clean urls - which is basically a more simplified url without any jibberish this helps search engines to easily find specific pages on your site - we have yet to implement Clean URLs because of the version of joomla we are using. But this will Hopefully change soon. Also who could forget the importance of gaining links (which this blog is an example of).

Second on the to do list is CONTENT which i guess is self explanatory.. the more content the more reason user's have to look at your site.

I was thinking today that maybe the point of this blog could be to show other's that it isn't really that hard to create a website of your own. I have no real education in IT (except a couple of random IT subjects at uni) and i'd say that Sports Connect is coming along well.. dont you think?
