I updated my website today. I wasn’t planning any big changes, but I started looking at some things and ended up making major changes.
Links to this Blog
I added a link to here on each page. This blog existed before, but you had to know the URL http://questeria.info/wordpress to get to it. Now you can press the “WordPress Blog” button to get here from any page.
New Google AdSense Format
I started advertising on my website with Google AdSense since 2008 to help offset website costs. I have a text/image ad at the top of the page and a link ad at the bottom of the page. I’ve made a whopping $4.78 since then. The ad formats were designed for desktop and I wasn’t happy with the way the ads looked on tablets and phones. The last major update was to use different style sheets for desktop, tablet and phone, but I was still using the original desktop ad formats.
I changed the top ad to a new responsive format, that adjusts to the screen size of the device. I am much happier with this format. The bottom ad was just too small to see on a phone, so I just don’t display it .
Viewport
My website development skills are self-taught. There are a lot of resources on-line, but it takes a lot of trial and error to make things work the way I wanted them to. I had the website looking how I wanted on a desktop, but I wasn’t entirely happy with the way it looked on tablets and phones. I was searching for web and discovered a tag that I didn’t know about; <meta name = “viewport” content = “width=device-width“>. This tells the browser to set the viewport, or window width, to the device width.

We levitra viagra online all know that stress can increase the risk of erectile dysfunction in men.
I added this tag to each page of my website. I had to make a lot of changes to my phone style sheet, but after that it made the pages more readable on my iPhone and Kindle Fire.
iPad Style Sheet
When I updated my website to have separate style sheets for desktop, tablet and phones, I used my laptop computer, Kindle Fire and iPhone 5 to look at the results. My Kindle Fire is one of the first one available and is about half the size of an iPad. We have an iPad but it belongs to my wife, Fran, and is usually being used. But when I did look the website with it, it seemed like everything was too big. So I decided to add a style sheet for the iPad and similar devices.
I’m pretty happy with the way my website looks on all the devices that I have tried. This will probably be the last major update for a while, unless I find some other cool tags to try.
