Tech Tip# 1

How to Clear your CACHE?

On Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher. (I hope you all have 6.0) You will do the following steps.

Go to Tools > Internet Options > General (Tab) > Delete Cookies

After doing this then go to the "Delete Files" button and do that too.

You have completed the CLEAN CACHE ON YOUR BROWSWER.

If you have any questions please feel free to comment.

Tech Tip# 1.1 WEBSITES on SEARCH ENGINES

You have asked me how to get your sites to show up on Google and other search engines. But sometimes you'd like just the opposite. How do you stop search engines from indexing your site and exposing all your content to the outside world?

That's easy. Just use a robots.txt file.

In the early days of the Internet, a standard for robot exclusion was developed. It created a means for webmasters to stop automated Web-searching programs.

The syntax is simple. Create a plain text file named robots.txt in your website's root directory. The file consists of any number of lines with the following commands.

User-agent
The User-agent describes the robot by name. For a list of names, visit this guide on The Web Robots Pages.

To block all robots, put the line "User-agent *" (no quotes) at the top of your robots.txt file.

Disallow
The following lines apply to your User-agent. Each Disallow describes a partial URL that is to be ignored.

For example, enter the following line in your robots.txt file to block spiders from accessing your private folder.

Disallow /private/

The following line keeps search-engine spiders from indexing your temporary files.

Disallow /tmp/

Some rogue search engines ignore the robots.txt file, but the good ones pay attention and obey.
Many people complain that using robots.txt is just a way of telling the world where your private stuff is. And that's true. Anyone can read your robots.txt file (and you can read mine here).

You shouldn't think of it as a way to hide stuff from the outside world. It's just a way of blocking Web indexers.
