You will need to lookup the IP address of web00.extendcp.co.uk (format of webservers is webXXX.extendcp.co.uk.) As HeartInternet do not provide the IP address of the web server. You can also just use webXXX.extendcp.co.uk as the host, as this will point to the IP address of the web server.
Here's an image of where you will enter this on PHPputty
The after this you will enter your domain referenced address thewebsiteaddressIdontown.com

Using a domain reference account on Heartinternet
This is something I always seem to end up having to find out.
Here's the scenario - you have a website you want to set up and then transfer the domain across to .
I'm using the Heart Internet servers and here you need to make a 'domain reference' - but after that how do I view my Heart Internet domain reference on the web. Well the address is in this format
http://web00.extendcp.co.uk/mywebsite.co.uk/
for the web00 - you need to go into your Control Panel and on the right handside you will see your 'Web Server'
and obviously change mywebsite.co.uk for whatever your website is ie www.littleripples.com

Making a Joomla 2.5 Menu with Rounded buttons in CSS
The target here was to make a menu set in Joomla look a bit nicer and have rounded edges. With the minimal amount of image used.
> The first thing to do is make yourself a button and divide this into 3 bit. * left * middle and * right
Note: the middle bit only needs to be 1pix wide as it will vbe repeated on the x axis ( across )
> secondly we need to make a menu display other than default. The way to do this is to download the folder /modules/mod_menu
COPY THESE FILES
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/default.php
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/default_component.php
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/default_seperator.php
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/default_url.php
and rename them - you can change the name 'default' to your preference. In this example I renamed them to 'rounded'
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/rounded.php
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/rounded_component.php
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/rounded_seperator.php
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/rounded_url.php
Now go through all the documents and find all instances of 'default' and change to 'rounded'
NOW OPEN
modules/mod_menu/tmpl/rounded.php
on line 48
CHANGE
echo '<li'.$class.'>';
to
echo '<li'.$class.'><div class="menuleft"></div><div class="menumiddle">';
on line 74
CHANGE
echo '</li>';
TO
echo '</div><div class="menuright"></div></li>';
NOW ADD THIS CSS to your CSS file
div.menuleft{
background-image:url("images/menuleft.jpg");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:3px;
height:25px;
float: left;
}
div.menuright{
background-image:url("images/menuright.jpg");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:5px;
height:25px;
float: left;
}
div.menumiddle {
background: url("images/buttonbackground.jpg") repeat-x scroll left center transparent;
display: block;
max-width: 150px;
min-width: 150px;
text-align: center;
height: 25px;
float: left;
}

A quick guide to SEO
Here's a quick guide to targetting new keywords. The following instructions are the real basics. Search SEO basics on google for more.
1. Create a page targetting a new keyword/phrase or two, but don't try and cram the blog full of keywords it won't work. The article should have at least 300 words.
Use the keyword/phrase in the title , url, meta description and an img tag.
2. Link back to this page internally - using the keywords in the link
3. Link to the page externally using your keywords/phrase too. For example from social media sites like Google+, facebook, twitter and many more. I like ping.fm as you can post to many social media streams in one go. And from blogs like the one you are reading can be good for linking to your main site. Like this -> How writing good blogs will improve your business
Here's some DON'TS
* Don't have too many links in one blog.
* Don't repeat the key word your targetting too many times on the page
* Don't duplicate content
The main thing is to keep going. It may take a while to rank keywords that have a lot of competion.
There is a term in SEO that goes 'Going after the Long Tail or Short Tail. It works like thie
> short tail: "Photography workshops'
> long tail: "Polzeath Photography Workshops'
The short tail is difficult to rank but number of searches much higher. Long tail searches you can expect to get ranked higher and quicker, the other advantage is the relevance is 'Excellent' so users may well be more inclined to use your services.
