Three short questions for Cheryl
After reading Foundations of Microsoft Expression Web I attempted to clean up
the code on my two websites. It went OK I think but I still have some lingering questions. 1. What does this code above the <head> mean: xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns  ="urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice"> Is it necessary?2. I put in the copyright material in the code the way you described (Page Properties/Custom). The result is <meta http-equiv="copyright" content etc. instead of <meta name="copyright" content as I see in your example on page 105. Does it matter if it and other meta tags are either meta name or meta http-equiv? 3. In one of my sites I have this code in the <head> section: <meta name="verify-v1" content=oW+39BspNI and a long string of code"/> Do you have any idea what that means? It's in my home page code and nowhere else - and only in one website. Perhaps it's something I enserted when I got into Google's Analytics. |

Re: Three short questions for Cheryl
I am not Cheryl....
1. That code means that there are VML graphics on the page. This is a result of using WordArt, Drawing Tools, or Publisher. These are undesirable, as non-IE browsers do not understand VML and at best will get a cheesy image of the graphics. In Publisher, the entered text goes into VML generated boxes, and any hyperlinks in them may not function in other browsers 2. It should be meta name. you can change that manually 3. The verify code is as you surmised, a chunk of google'w webmaster tools "tommyvin" <tommyvin@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news  A19FA1F-AFD2-4F11-A17F-307FBB500768@microsoft.com...> After reading Foundations of Microsoft Expression Web I attempted to clean > up > the code on my two websites.

Re: Three short questions for Cheryl
You are correct that it is not Google Analytics, which would be 2 javascript
blocks. It is; however, the verification code for Google Webmaster Tools.

Re: Three short questions for Cheryl
I completely agree with you (except for you bowing to me/my experience).
There are a lot of things I have dabbled with, and those tools were one of them. There is a lesson to be learned; though, which is that when you are going to play with something (esp from an outside source) to throw in an html comment so you can remember what that funky code is for. I did enough playing of this nature with the last version of my fire dept's site, as shown by the tail end of the <head> section <!-- Geo information = geography for location search services --> <meta content="43.14989;-88.16374" name="geo.position" /> <meta content="US-WI" name="geo.region" /> <meta content="Lannon" name="geo.placename" /> <!-- ICBM information is another geo type, based on InterContinental Ballistic Missile targeting --> <meta content="43.14989;-88.16374" name="ICBM" /> <!-- DC is Dublin Core, another method of search and categorization --> <meta content="Lannon Fire Department" name="DC.title" /> <meta content="Created: 2003-06-12" name="DC.date" /> <meta content="Mike Mueller" name="DC.publisher" /> <meta content="43.14989" name="DC.coverage.x" scheme="WGS84" /> <meta content="-88.16374" name="DC.coverage.y" scheme="WGS84" /> <!-- Google Webmaster Tools Verification --> <meta content="eCX0I0TQw4Clte9wM1WvK0W9NijnPDgdRyQnsxeyu Pg=" name="verify-v1" /> <!-- YAHOO Global Object source file --> <script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.3.1/build/yahoo/yahoo-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> "Cheryl D Wise" <nomail@wiserways.com> wrote in message news:e$2Sx0Z0IHA.5520@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I don't use the Google Webmaster tools so I wouldn't know.

Re: Three short questions for Cheryl
Comment is always good. Interesting to see that you are using Dublin Meta
data. I tend to only use it on sites where the names could lead to miscatagorizations such as for a local dance club (a site I have not been affiliated with for at least 6 years and is now run using a CMS) with the name Southwest Whip Dance Club. Whip is a Houston area variant of West Coast Swing that has been danced since the 40s traditionally to blues but "whip" and "swing" in the same title does tend to mislead folks with certain mindsets. <g> (FWIW, I was bowing to your experience with parts of Google tools I don't use.) -- Cheryl D Wise MS MVP Expression Author: Foundations of Microsoft Expression Web See our selection of Expression Web tutorials at http://by-expression.com/content/tutorials.aspx "Mike Mueller" <MyName@ecinet.net> wrote in message news:F1845C76-DF32-414A-8136-B436435EA900@microsoft.com... >I completely agree with you (except for you bowing to me/my experience). > > There are a lot of things I have dabbled with, and those tools were one of > them.

Re: Three short questions for Cheryl
In my http://www.hairloss-reversible.com site this code is above the <head>:
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns ="urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice">It is not on my home page though. I tried to find things on the pages of my site that could have triggered this code but I couldn't. I think I used Word Art to make the logo on the right side of my banner but I'm not sure of this. Is there a quick way to tell what are the offending bits of text or graphics? > Whip is a Houston area variant of West Coast > Swing that has been danced since the 40s traditionally to blues but "whip" > and "swing" in the same title does tend to mislead folks with certain > mindsets. West Coast Swing is popular in the ballrooms of Columbus, Ohio. One step in WCS is called the whip - it took me two weeks to learn it. But in Columbus and the adjoining suburbs there are no people with "certain mindsets" who would be confused by words like "whip" and "swing." The people living between the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers come from good Puritan stock, or so I'm told. |

Re: Three short questions for Cheryl
Probably could tell by looking at the code but I'm on my way out the door in
a minute. If your image doesn't say <img src="*.jpg/*.gif/*.png"> Then it is likely to be the WordArt. Don't use on the web. If you like what you did in WordArt, open the page in IE and take a screenshot and paste it into your image editor and crop as needed. That will get you a better gif than the "down level" one that WordArt sometimes provides to browsers other than IE. The WCS or Whip "whip" step are the same but what distinguishes Whip from WCS is double resistance. If you go look at the website for America Classic Swing competition they have a category called "slow whip" which is more or less traditional Houston Whip. I say more or less because some of the contestants simply dance pure West Coast Swing just sllooowwlly. <g> FWIW, the Ballroom version of West Coast is different in style than the swing version. It is very easy at a swing comp to tell when someone is crossing over from the Ballroom world. Some do it very successfully like David Appel (US Open Swing Dance Cabaret and I think also Showcase winner) and others not so. -- Cheryl D Wise MS MVP Expression Author: Foundations of Microsoft Expression Web See our selection of Expression Web tutorials at http://by-expression.com/content/tutorials.aspx "tommyvin" <tommyvin@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A862B6DD-B7D4-4C8E-8DB9-9DECA063EE80@microsoft.com... > In my http://www.hairloss-reversible.com site this code is above the > <head>: > xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" > xmlns ="urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice">> > It is not on my home page though.

the 'composition' could be saved as an image, which made it easy to cut/copy the desired image from the saved file "Cheryl D Wise" <nomail@wiserways.com> wrote in message news:Oz3hT2j0IHA.2084@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Probably could tell by looking at the code but I'm on my way out the door > in a minute.
