			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kiswebs superb small business product KISS Builder and its training will soon be FREE to 10 businesses from the end of August (exact go live date yet to be determined). Previosuly costing £700 for the website solution and the website training we are now giving this away free to 10 small businesses (at the time of this going out 3 places had already been reserved - so only 7 remain).</p>
<p>The only fee each of these businesses will have to pay is the £16 + vat monthly website and email hosting and support fee. There will be no tie in period - so any of these businesses will be able to get a website and if after 1 month or 2 months they decide they no longer want a their website then they simply cancel the standing order when they want to.</p>
<p>Times are challenging  for small businesses and we see this a way of helping 10 businesses get a website presence quickly with no upfront costs, hence giving them every opportunity to succeed and attract more business.</p>
<p>If you know of a small business that may be attracted by this limited time and place opportunity then please ask them to contact us via our Contact Us page - leaving details and we shall call them back.</p>
<p>More details will follow on this opportunity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How do you insert video into a blog ? It is easy enough to add a link to a video into a blog post on Wordpress but how do you actually embed the video into the page ? I will come back to you soon on this.</p>
<p>below is what happens when you use copy the full video website address and add that intoi the &#8220;upload video&#8221; functionality within wordpress. The link is from the title you decide to give to the video. But the downside (if this is a downside) is that it opens in a new window instead of getting embedded into the page.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNmgrsOOn9c">test video</a></p>
<p>The following is what happens if you chose the &#8220;embed&#8221; code from youtube into the blog - so definately dont do this. I will come back to you soon with the way of getting the video embedded into your blog page instead of creating a new window opening</p>
<p>&lt;object width=&#8221;480&#8243; height=&#8221;385&#8243;&gt;&lt;param name=&#8221;movie&#8221; value=&#8221;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/UNmgrsOOn9c&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param">http://www.youtube.com/v/UNmgrsOOn9c&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;&#8221;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param</a> name=&#8221;allowFullScreen&#8221; value=&#8221;true&#8221;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&#8221;allowscriptaccess&#8221; value=&#8221;always&#8221;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&#8221;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/UNmgrsOOn9c&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1">http://www.youtube.com/v/UNmgrsOOn9c&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1</a>&amp;&#8221; type=&#8221;application/x-shockwave-flash&#8221; allowscriptaccess=&#8221;always&#8221; allowfullscreen=&#8221;true&#8221; width=&#8221;480&#8243; height=&#8221;385&#8243;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Accessibility in website design is a big issue these days. Kiswebs website designers and developers always aim to design websites that are accessibly for our clients in Glasgow and throughout the UK.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The challenge facing website design and developers in Glasgow though is that technology and opinion often change. One such change in website browsers is the way the newest web browsers handle Alternative text or Alt text as the website design world tend to refer to it.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Alt text in website design is the text that you sometimes see when you hover over a website image. Having said that much depends now on the browser you use to view websites. The standard behaviour of the newest website browsers is for the Alt text NOT to display when you hover over the website image. Firefox and other browsers have not displayed the Alt text for many years but now the latest version of Internet Explorer will not display the Alt text for the website images.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">So if you are wondering why your website images now no longer display this text the chances are it is because of the version of website browser you are using.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">But why the change?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">According to accessibility/HTML rules this text shouldn’t be displayed when rolled over. Essentially the text should only be shown when the image is missing and on text-only browsers or read out when people use text-to-speech software. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">There is an alternative though. You can have the text hovering above the image but that requires the use of the title tag but these tags shouldn’t really be the same as they have different purposes.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">If you want to find out more about title tags please let the team at Kiswebs know and we will explain more.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday Kiswebs were proud to announce the launch of 3 new websites for 3 very different businesses / organisations. These website design and development projects where both an education and inspiration to us as we learned much more about a range of issues. From catching a fish and returning it to the water humanely, to more serious and sombre subject matters related to domestic abuse and to the goings on within a local community and how a handful of people can make a big difference.</p>
<p>We shall shed some more light on each of these websites individually over the next few days, but for now please feel free to visit the websites of;</p>
