I am now convinced that I did wrong by adding background music to my site...How do I go about removing the tags...simply deleting the song file is not the answer I would asume..I am trying to increase my SEO , and people won't do it because it has music background

when i was in college in the year 2000, i decided not to go into IT because of outsourcing. i now work for the city at a union job. the job is basically 100% secure with incredible benefits although the pay is not as good as corporate. i can't be outsourced though. THAT is the worst thing about IT. say goodbye to work and hello to indian h1b visa workers.

This is not a Yes/No subject. Agree that some websites could be annoying but the most importamt aspect is the user expectation. If he "expects" to hear music (after clicking a button for example) then this could create the desired emotion for webmaster and visitor. And as alwaysquality of music is a key factor.

Found the problem. It was an SEO setting. Apparently, I was unaware it was a global action setting.

Same problem as Carolyn. I pasted into my blog PAGE text full of anchors from an HTML page where the anchor links work. But in the blog page, using both the latest Safari and Firefox browsers, ALL the anchor link actions open a new window/tab in presenting the correct action result.

New Doodlekit Layouts - Update - Heath Huffman

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:19:26 -0500

Hi Jonas,

Unfortunately we are not on schedule - we had quit a setback recently dealing with SPAM attacks and spammers. We had to redo our entire free plan and how it works. I think we finally resolved this for the most part by making all new free plan websites private unless validated with a credit card: http://doodlekit.com/blog/entry/2803143/free-plan-website-changes

The good news is that now we can get back to development. It will still be a few months but we are close - there are just lots of lose ends to tie up. 85% of the major development is done - we just have to wrap that up, do lots of testing, then create a bunch of new templates, then push it out.

Sorry for the delay - we truly are working as hard as we can to get this out. Our #1 priority though will always be our existing customers and the existing system - we have to keep everything running ;).

Hey Heath:

Hope you've been able to settle in to your new digs as expected. Any word on the new updates? The last blog entry mentioned something about January or February. Are you still on schedule?

Hi Heath,

I've run through the instructions and troubleshooting several times on Layout 4 and am still coming up with a blank header image.

I added a missing ';' in the code, tried different images, different image formats (jpg, png), rechecked everything - could you take a look?

Many thanks,

Angie

I hate it when music in playing in the background. But I think it's great that if u r on a relaxing website that u have waterfalls and forests playing in the background coz u can't get sick of it! If music was playing on my website I would have a playlist of songs and THEY can chose what THEY want to hear!!! I think this is a great blog! Thank you
Emma :)

When I visit a website and music is played, I click on close button before even trying to find a stop button, playing background music is the best way to drive your visitors away from your website.

I'll probably do a post here soon to give an update. To answer your question, things are moving along pretty good - there are just a lot of extra things we have to do to get this implemented outside of the new layouts themselves.

I have really been looking forward to the new layouts and functionality. I was just curious if you had any more updates.

Thanks,

FREE SITES ARE BACK UP!

Sorry for your troubles Manny, but FREE website would be the ones mostly effected by this (since we would have to shut them ALL down), so it only made sense that they should be the ones notified of SOPA & PIPA. The point was to bring attention to the issue - to give people a 'taste' of what might happen indefinitely (not just for 12 hours). You got that taste and it does appear you did not like it. We knew we might lose a few customers over this, but better that then to lose our whole business, internet freedoms, and much more.

I agree that SOPA must be stopped, but must Doodlekit really shut down Free Plan Sites? They could have left us Freebies alone and shut down their own homepage! My supervisor and I had a real suprise when I went to show him the draft site I created for the school i work for. He was not at all pleased when he was led directly to this! And nither was I! Very unsatisfied! And I was thinking of chosing an actual plan that you have to pay monthly! No sir! I'm sticking to free! Doodlekit does NOT deserve our business! Now I face deep trouble at work because my boss thinks this was one big joke!

Can you change it to a 6 hour blackout instead? From 12:00 am to 6:00-7:00 am?
