You had to be there! What a dream! It all goes back to when I was kid - even younger than you. I saw a movie titled “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.” Sure, I saw the movie because of a single poster of a giant woman in a swimsuit - good looking girl too. But it was what the poster said that made it my “Must See Film of 1958.”
So I decided to write a followup to my article “Uncle Arthur’s Super Tips: Headlines & Titles for SEO” of 12/12/2007. So this article is all about writing stimulating articles, super headlines and riveting texts for your blogs and websites.
The original movie - “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman” (1958) had a Tagline: “See a female colossus… her mountainous torso, skyscraper limbs, giant desires!” Wheweee! That’s what I’m talking about. The possibilities that this line puts in the head of readers are many and very strong.
Then it had a Plot Outline: “When an abused wife grows to giant size because of an alien encounter and an aborted murder attempt, she goes after her cheating husband with revenge on her mind.”
The movie was almost without plot, used the few special effects of the day, but it made the most of getting people into the theatre with these ideas. It was good enough to cause a remake with Daryl Hannah - “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman” (1993) (TV). One Tagline: “People always called Nancy the little woman… They’ll never do that again.” Plot Outline: “While a woman by the name of Nancy is driving home from yelling at her husband at a motel who is with another woman, she is encountered by aliens that zap her with some kind of laser. As a result, Nancy finds herself growing everytime she gets angry. Her incredible anger makes her 50 feet tall and now she’s a walking giant searching in a terrfied town for her husband who is with his other lover.”
A different Plot Outline for the same movie reads: “A remake of the 1958 original. After an encounter with aliens, a wealthy women grows to, surprise surprise, 50 feet tall. With her new found size she decides to get revenge on her husband and others that annoyed her.”
And then there was a spinoff, sort of a copycat - “Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold” (1995) But the big deal here is: what you write about these movies that takes a single picture and makes it represent a whole movie. What you write creates scenarios in the readers’ heads that causes a decision to read on or click off.
Here are some other taglines that could have been used depending on who you wanted to attract courtesy of Uncle Arthur:
“Think you know how much love it takes?”
“Mama’s Home - Time to Take Care of Business.”
“So Big - When Her Period Was Near”
“When ‘What to Wear?’ Spelled Disaster.”
“Sometimes . . . A Submarine Was Not Enough!”
“When She Attacked - Every Man Was Spellbound!”
“When Menopause Comes, It Can Get Out of Control”
“PMS - The Roughest Days of Our Lives.”
“She Wanted the Mother of All Weekends!”
“You’ll Laugh, You’ll Cry, You’ll Become Engulfed!”
“The Scream that Wakened a Nation.”
“What a Woman! . . . What a Woman!”
“Feminist Revenge Mutant Goes Berserk in Central Park”
“Super Model Admits Illegal Hormones Helped Her Leap to the Screen!”
“How Many Men Knew Her - How Many Would It Take?!!?”
“Hear Her Battlecry - ‘Don’t Want No Short —- Men!!!’”
“She Knew She Had It Comin’, and She Didn’t Mean Global Warming.”
Well that’s enough laughs for now, all you techies, newbies and Uncle Arthur’s Super Bloggers - oh! and write each day like it was the last thing you’ll ever get to say.

The CMS movement in webdesign is large and getting larger everyday - and Joomla is a perfect example of this. I recently visited the website of Azam at Arejea.com. He specializes in design and customization of CMS websites, particularly Joomla websites. I interviewed Azam for WTB.
Where are you located? “Arejea.com Multimedia Freelancer is my own idea and concept of telling the world of my presence. It is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One of the South East Asia country on the map.”
What are your areas of specialization? “The area of my specialization mainly is Web Designing. Apart from it, I’m also exploring my skills into some programming such as Php and MySql. As these two powerful knowledge are most wanted in todays IT world and also it’s one of easy to understand structure, especially for people like me. Furthermore, I’m also doing graphic design for print out materials such as business card, poster’s, bunting, stand banners, and etc. And the latest one, I’m exploring in providing net community with my FREE and Commercial Joomla Templates, a CMS base template to be use with Joomla CMS Engine.”
What are you most known for on the web? “As local freelancer here in Malaysia, I’ve been known as one of the Freelancers that commit to my clients requirements. Every detail is taken care at 1st place and my clients are happy as they also receive my free consultation not even before they hand over the job, but also after I delivered it. To the international community, I have been known as one of the Joomla Free templates designer and provider.”
What tool-set do you choose to use in your work? “As a self develop designer, most common tools that I use must be the ones that are easy to learn, have usability, and provides some tutorials as a guide. For that, my choices of tools are Macromedia Studio such as Dreamweaver and Fireworks. For most of the initial design process, also known as mock-up creation, I use Fireworks. Once slicing is ready and exported as images, I use Dreamweaver to combine them all together and add up some CSS Styling using also Dreamweaver. To add more spices to it, Macromedia Flash is used for my anime creations.”
How did you get into web design? “Back to my early years, I’m a motor mechanic. I worked with wrench, engines, and spanner. Never thought that website design will be my next profession. After a while being a mechanic, I got bored and was looking for something new in my life. Then later part, I’ve been introduced to a friend that also has same interest. From that point onward, I started self-learning through available tutorials on the net that I could get.”
Tell us about your use of colors in your designs. “For color arrangement, I tend to use ‘dull’ colors as my concept of designing things. I’ve tried to maintain that way in every new design that I’m working with. But again, ‘dull’ color doesn’t always satisfy my client’s taste, especially local clients here?”
What are your sources of inspiration? “My Source of inspiration mostly from browsing through websites. Whenever I’ve came across a nice website, I examine their kind of design and try to adapt what ever technique they have.”
Thank you Azam for your ideas and designs in Joomla.

Uncle Arthur has a big fat suggestion for you! Read through your website traffic statistics to tell what the metadata, supplemental data, can teach you. Why? The Universe is waiting - and because I said so - and because it contains a lot of helpful information like your visitors’ IP address, geographic location, what browser language, what are their domain extensions (.edu, .gov, .mil), their connection speeds, which operating system they use, the keyword or phrase searched, the referring URL and the screen resolution.
Now let’s think a minute here - just ask “how can this help me?”
The IP address, or Internet protocol address, gives the specific internet service company the visitor uses. If the visitor works with an Internet provider then the web page will show the speed of the connection - if working with a specific company, then the website will show company’s name and logo.
The geographical location tells about the approximate address of the visitor. With this information, the server can search and display information that is specific for the people of that location. Information like climate, temperature, local happenings, and time for accurate display.
Web pages may be written in different languages. By knowing the browser language you can help a visitor with a web page that is easier to understand with different language sections and more international symbols in the icons, buttons and titles.
Many organizations and various sectors of the web have different domain extensions. A website with a .gov extension means that its a government website and a website with .edu extension refers to an educational organization. This means your content could be customized to target or deflect a sector’s ease of use.
Internet connection speeds may enlighten your planning on file size and downloads speed. There can be different resolution versions of a particular file or feed so that if the speed is low then the lowest resolution will be downloaded.
Operating systems have different requirements and their functionality varies. Some websites provide downloadable software and updates which will not be compatible with all kinds of operating systems. These limitations can be
determined without interrupting the user.
Search keywords and phrases can be utilized to apply search engine optimization techniques to your website to improve relevancy. The linking of data to a specific keyword, which is displayed automatically, makes the visitor feel that his query was dealt with effectively.
Knowing the referring URL helps the website owner to understand traffic patterns as well as to compare data with that of the previous page. This can help you improve your webpage’s competitiveness with the referring sites - if that is a desired outcome.
Remember that if a visitor is surfing the internet with a hand held device or mobile, the content of the website is cropped to fit the screen size and resolution of the device. If the amount of data that is viewed on a normal monitor is displayed over the hand held device, the images would be overlapped and illegible.
So now you should say, “Thank you Uncle Arthur for your wisdom and encouragement.”
The future of the Universe may be an unknown, but try anyway.

Artists need a good website to get maximum exposure. Here are 18 super tips from Uncle Arthur - the artist’s friend - on how to make that website a pleasure to visit. This goes beyond a bio, artist statement and recent resume.
Sometimes I feel like Vincent Van Gogh, don’t you? Vincent would have had a website, you can count on that. And Uncle Arthur would be right there looking in to give Vincent some tips too.
1. Keep your color scheme simple. Don’t blind your viewers. Bright colors can be difficult to look at on a screen and detract from your artwork’s impact. (Just because Vincent liked yellow is no reason to do the whole site in yellow, right? So choose a good template!)
2. Keep your website simple. Don’t try and put every piece of information about your career or display every single piece of artwork you ever created. (You should save something for a conversation with an excited buyer.)
3. Keep file sizes low. People viewing your site don’t all have a high speed connection to the internet and too many images or too many large files can slow a site down.
4. Make navigation simple. Do not try and have too many categories or too many layers in your navigation system. Keep the placement of the navigation buttons consistent: if you choose to have your links on the left side, keep them there throughout the site and don’t scramble the order of your buttons from page to page! (Even Mondrian wouldn’t do that!!!)
5. Have your own domain name. Impress galleries and collectors, make sure they know you take your art seriously. Registering a domain has become quite affordable: typically between $10 and $15 a year with hosting costs between $5 and $15 a month. (You don’t have to be Toulouse-Lautrec to afford that. And check out the beautifully designed webpage templates for any type website here! )
6. No under construction page. If you are not done building a page, don’t link it to your site. (Uncle Arthur mentioned this kind of cheesy practice in earlier articles - so don’t forget it this time.)
7. Prominent contact info. Your site is too sell or at least connect with interested viewers (Duhhhhhhh!!!) Collectors and galleries need to know how to contact you.
8. Label all artwork. Labeling your work with price can be valuable if your aim is to sell online. (Uncle Arthur reminds you to price realitstically - not $5 for one and a million for another - that’s New York stuff.)
9. Include a brief art statement and your resume. A few paragraphs for an art statement, and a 1 page resume. (Even Picasso could whittle it down to the main points.)
10. Keep the texts simple. Sans serif fonts such as Arial are easier to read on the screen. Don’t overuse bold and italics which make text harder to read and can get confusing. (An art site doesn’t need all that drama - it should express an air of serious art!)
11. Avoid underlined text - this should be reserved links.
12. Do not use a background image. They slow down the website and can ruin the look of your texts and other images.
13. Avoid music. It could sound good but your viewers might not share your preferences in music and music files are large. (Even if you play the violin - save it for your music website!)
14. No stupid mouse animation or idiot smiles in navigation. This would bother your visitors! (Uncle Arthur tries to be patient, but if you do this I will pass out.)
15. Refrain from using frames and Flash. Both of these coding methods tend to be search engines unfriendly.
16. Make sure your site is looks good in all browsers. Different browsers can display the same code in slightly different ways. Adjust code accordingly. (That’s right, it’s not all just nudes and lunch on the grass, you need to consider technical matters!)
17. Check each of your links. Visitors don’t like dead links and neither do the search engines. (Would Vincent have a lot of dead meat links on his site?)
18. Open external links to a new window - in a new browser window - better looking and more convenient.
Uncle Arthur has done his best to simplify this process for you artists out there. Now don’t make us both look foolish with a sloppy portfolio. Paint your heart out!!!!!
I want a large sofa painting in blues and mauves for my living room,
