Page titles

[audiopro]

Which is considered best practice in forming page titles.
Always have a title which is a sentence or is it acceptable to sometimes have a list of things.
I am thinking in terms of a shopping cart site where a given item is available in different versions and the page title lists the three main types.

Hi

Bookmark a dozen of such pages. If a week later you can identify each page content based on the bookmarked title, they were probably well chosen.

Of course, this is only my point of view.

Hi Keith,

I know this is way off topic (my apologies), but I noticed your question, and have been looking at your informative website.

In your Beginner's Guide, you say, "The World Wide Web was initially created in the U.S.A. for military purposes". I think Tim Berners-Lee and his former colleagues might disagree with that. It might be true that the Internet was invented in the US. But that doesn't apply to the World Wide Web. If the

http://WWW originated

in any single country, I would have thought Switzerland would have that honour.

Hope you don't mind me pointing this out.

Mike

Hi Mike
Thanks for your comments, I don't mind at all that you pointed it out.
I thought long and hard before writing that piece as I wanted to be historically accurate. It really depends on the description of the invention. US military were working on the model of a multi location control centre. One centre gets wiped out and the data is available from another source. This would appear to be the birth of the concept and for a legitimate reason. The US military had no concern about information being available to Joe public but the concept of operation was set up.
To me, Tim Berners-Lee and his colleagues had a vision that this same technology could be used for a more peaceful process, the sharing of data throughout the world.

Just when during this process, the world wide web was born will remain a mystery forever.
I suppose it means we won't have to send it a birthday card.

cheers Mike

Hi Keith,

Just when during this process, the world wide web was born will remain a mystery forever.

Well, the writer of the Wikipedia article on the

http://WWW seems

sure that it was on 12 November 1980 (see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_wide_web).

If that's right, it clearly post-dates the Internet. My understanding is that the Internet was descended from ArpaNet (that was the military network you referred to). I can't be sure when ArpaNet was around, but I was definitely aware of its existence in the late 1970s.

It's an interesting subject. You've encouraged me to read more about it.

Mike

Hi Mike
Many inventions over the years are the combined efforts of totally independent groups or individuals who were working towards a common goal, unaware that other people were doing the same experiments. Who invented what and when becomes lost in the grand scheme. I am just glad we have the internet, otherwise I would be typing this to my imaginary friend.

I keep beavering away at this water powered lawn mower but I can only get it to run for an hour before the water tank overflows.

Hi Keith,

Yes, you're right about inventions being the combined work of different people or groups. I guess there are many examples of that.

By the way, I noticed in that Wikipedia article that an early incarnation of the Web was a system that Tim B-L called ENQUIRE. That was named after the book, Enquire Within, which he read as a child. We still have that book, and refer to it often. When I mentioned this to my wife just now, she reminded me that she wrote part of it. So, very indirectly, she was in at the birth of the world wide web <g>.

As for your water-powered mower, it would be a big hit where I live. Water is something we have plenty of. Then again, it's usually too wet to mow the lawn.

Keep up the good work.

Mike

Maybe I could adapt the mower, for the Scottish market and turn it into a self powered water pump.
