KWCUSA's Webmaster
Information relating to the coding of webpages at KWCUSA and help for fellow contest webmasters.
Hello everyone, I'm Frank, your KWCUSA webmaster. Yes, I wear many hats regarding KWCUSA but my favorite just might be this one, my official webmaster hat.
I have been writing code since 1975 and am available to help any of you who are working on your own KWCUSA Tournament pages.
If you need a website and have no money nor knowledge of such things, then I would like to steer you in a direction toward self reliance and minimal expense. For example, there are currently several hosting companies which will give you a free site and also provide you with some basic templates and tools you can use to instantly (within minutes or hours depending on how much you) create a site. KWCUSA is hosted by freeservers.com and they will provide you
with a free site (as long as it is not too big. ...KWCUSA is a paying customer.) Freeservers also has
tools for those who do not want to learn HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language, the language web pages are written in.)
Should you desire one of those cool domain names (like kwcusa.8k.com) then I recommend you visit Godaddy.com to register it. Service is good and so is the price (less
then a ten spot per year.)
For you artists (who code) I would like to first recommend that you look into a program called POV-Ray which does, ...you guessed it, raytracing! This is a type of rendering program which creates very
realistic images from code. Rather than say more, I will simply point you at the official website POV-Ray and suggest that you check it out. It's free, and was used to create the microphone and saucer graphisc seen at this site.
As a webmaster, I work on many sites including what I would call my home page site regarding webmastering, fjd1.com. I have written a few tutorials there on topics such JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets, Virtual Reality Modeling Language, and XML. You will also find links there to my other sites, ...some mine, ...some created for others.
Every web site should have a "privacy policy". IBM has a privacy policy generator to help with the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) version, but start with examining other web sites'
privacy policy and writing your own in HTML.
I also recommend that you have your site's content rated. KWCUSA uses ICRA.org, the Internet Content Rating Association for this and there is a
meta-tag in the source code of KWCUSA web pages which was generated at that site then pasted in.
Information on all web languages and stuff can be found at the heart of the web www.w3c.org
