General Site Maintenance
Recently had time to look over the site and update a few things that were getting out of date, and generally cleaning a few things up for everything to carry on running along smoothly. The halo photography gallery now runs a beta version which has better SEO features such as permanent id’s, so it friendly for search engines which I have been experimenting with lately so we will see how that goes. I’ve also spend a bit of time creating accurate meta keywords, descriptions for pretty much all pages and also sitemaps to get Halo.Snaver.net up there in the search engine rankings! The site is currently 8 or 9th for the google search ‘Halo 3 Photography‘ which is pretty good going to be honest, hopefully start to push traffic with other search terms once the changes I’ve made start to take effect.
I hope to have a new site online for the release of ODST for users to upload screenshots or movies or whatever really, with features like uploading from desktop and also directly from bungie.net! also want to start pushing the site very hard at that time with a fresh new design and better hosting, or atleast for the databases which power the site which are starting to get fairly large!
That’s about it for now, for updates check here or just look around, i should be updating every so often now i hope!
Peace!
I just want you to know that I am a fan of the work you are doing to put this site together! If there is any way I can assist – finding files, pics, etc – let me know. I’m just glad for this site!
I have some really good haloce mods you can archive in the format of an executable. I developed a method to compress Halo CE maps with the engine to make a single exe (that are usually smaller than the .map files) and allows you to play the map and even play and host lan games. I think that would be a great way to conserve maps that in the future people would not know how to use them.
