Watching out for womens rights

Women run the world according to the likes of Beyonce. As a guy I appreciate this statement as there are a lot of hardships around the world for women. In third world countries they are subjected to all types of abuses and still they remain a mother to many.

In this resource by the UN there is a good debate on womens rights:

I agree with the positive points made in this post.


In Nigeria there is the Chad Lake disaster that is leaving many women without homes. The Red Cross are doing a great job to relieve the pressures on families by providing food and essentials.


I think more should be done to highlight the struggles of womens rights world wide and particularly in the third world countries.

The important aspects of web design


When it comes to designing a website, there are some more essential factors in the design of effective websites and pages. Essential factors such as the website links, navigation, use of images and graphics can have a notable impact in the design of the website. So, let’s consider these factors in more detail here.

Links are what the Web is all about. As such, they are an essential part of website design and construction. Links can be either text based or image based, although text based links are the more prevalent. You’ll need to include plenty of internal links on your website which will require effective anchor text. The anchor text of the links can also become of part of SEO, website search engine optimization, with keywords included for the anchor text.

The website links are also ‘linked’ to the website’s overall navigation. An effective website will have effective navigation options, bars and links. Make sure that the website links are not broken links. All the key website links should occupy prominent places on the site. In this respect, the most essential web page of websites is that of the home page which includes the website’s index and main navigation options. As such, this home page is the main website navigation page which should include links to most of the pages of the website. Designing an effective home page is therefore a big part of website design.

Other more effective factors of designing websites include the use of images and graphics. Images can greatly enhance the impact of the website. They can be added to a website and page in a variety of ways, either with the text wrapped around them or alternatively between separate paragraphs. Few websites do not include any images, as without them a website would be somewhat bland.

It’s also worth noting that images can also be used as an alternative to text based links. When links are added to them, images can also be more essential to the site’s navigation. Lots of websites include button images with text on them as a substitute for anchor text.

More general graphics can also be added to websites and are another big part of website design. For example, animations can provide some intriguing website effects. As such, animations can also greatly enhance the design of a website.

So, these are a few of the essential ingredients of Web design. A good website will have an effective home page, links, images and graphics and navigation all combined and mixed together to greater effect. For some further tips, take note of this website.
