Web Industry Professionals Association (WIPA)

For the last four years, members of the Web community have been discussing and debating the formation of an industry Association for Web Professionals. The idea has also been discussed at numerous Web Standards Group meetings since its inception. Over the last eight months we have gradually been working towards this goal. The wait is finally over...

We are very excited and proud to announce the Web Industry Professionals Association Incorporated (WIPA) - for Australian Web Professionals.

Nice work from TJK Design...

It has great browser support, it is script-free, it is CSS hack-free, it is keyboard-friendly, it is pointing device-friendly, it degrades nicely without script support, it uses semantic markup, it uses non-obtrusive Javascript and it is Web Standards Compliant and addresses Accessibility Guidelines.

Online tool to create Google XML Sitemap

Google launched Google Sitemaps as a way for webmasters to give them information they could use to better crawl their sites. This involves creating an XML Sitemap for which they provided their Google Sitemap Generator. This can be the most complicated to set up using the tools provided by Google as you need to be running Python on your server. It's perhaps the most important one too given the current dominance of the search engine.

Setting up all three types of sitemaps may seem a daunting task but luckily there are websites that take the strain out of this and you can create all three within a matter of minutes.

XML-Sitemaps.com is one such site. Originally developed to easily create Google sitemaps for webmasters without an understanding of Python, it has evolved through demand for new features.
