HELP FROM AROUND THE WEB

These notes began as an archive of resources listed on the humans.txt file for a particular website. The domain for that site was since hijacked by a domain squatter, but the resources listed here have proved useful for other web projects. The idea is to expand this page with other helpful resources for building simple web sites.

3rd Party File Hosting

The basic idea is to host images, PDFs and other large files on a publicly available directory, like Dropbox, Flickr, Picasa, HiDrive, etc. Alternatively, you can set up a Dropbox-like directory using an open source tool like SparkleShare (see below).

Drop Your Dropbox and SparkleShare Instead!

http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/drop-your-dropbox-and-sparkleshare-instead

SparkleShare

http://sparkleshare.org/

"Setting up your own host to work with SparkleShare is relatively easy." (An open source option for creating your own Dropbox-like service.)

BitTorrent’s Secure Dropbox Alternative Goes Public: http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrents-secure-dropbox-alternative-goes-public-130423/; BitTorrent Sync (available from BitTorrent Labs) is free of charge and allows people to securely sync folders to multiple devices using the BitTorrent protocol.

Issues with images hosted on Google Docs.

Attempted to link to an image hosted on Google Docs (image shown above). Sharing set to "public." Google's URI scheme looks a bit odd (seems to mask the file name and file type). The problematic part (in terms of linking to these images from a web site) is that Google appears to change the URI itself at least once a day.

Two Days; Two URIs

Javascript Endnotes: http://library.uwinnipeg.ca/people/dobson/portfolio/endnotes/index.html; “JavaScript Endnotes” allow a web author to create an HTML document containing endnotes which are dynamically renumbered as new notes are added, in a similar manner to the <NOTE> tag supported in many WIKI applications.

Links To Google & Gmail Resources

Link To Specific Gmail Message

All Email Messages in Gmail Have a Permanent Web Address: http://www.labnol.org/internet/gmail-emails-have-permanent-web-address/6811/; Do you know that it is possible to bookmark individual email messages of Gmail just like you would bookmark any regular web page. (Links to your Gmail messages will only resolve if you're logged into your Google account when you click on the link.)

How To Link To Specific Google Books Page

Example

Find the base URL to the Google Book you want to link to. Add the page number just after the book ID like in the example highlighted below.

http://books.google.com/books?id=zLrKGGxBKjAC&pg=PA135

UPDATE: The link shown above no longer links directly to the specific page it once did (135), but resolves to a onepage format instead.

CAUTION: Google apparently changes its URI structure without warning. For example, the link to the book / page shown above was formerly written like the one shown below (which now only resolves to the book's main Google Books description page)

http://books.google.com/books?id=8f2y0F2wzLoC&pg=P135

How To Link To Google Calendar Event

Is it possible to link to specific date on a public Google Calendar?: http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/3431/is-it-possible-to-link-to-specific-date-on-a-public-google-calendar

URI Formats - (Change the yyyymmdd setting shown in the examples to the specific date you want to link to.)

Link to a date on your private calendar:

https://www.google.com/calendar/render?tab=mc&date=yyyymmdd

Link to an event on a your public calendar:

http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showNav=0&showPrint=0&showCalendars=0&mode=AGENDA&wkst=1&src={your_calendar_id}&dates=yyyymmdd%2Fyyyymmdd
