I need to do some marketing, again, for my personal website in order to get a new project/contract.

I'm looking to build an intersting website using asp.net C# tools from Microsoft and MS Sql Server as a database server.

If I don't find in short period something to work on, I'll start a personal project. I'll tell you more about it in future posts. 

But for now, I intend to use office live for my new company website. And I want to try Microsoft Ad Center (https://adcenter.microsoft.com/) to advertise my services localy (Coventry, Birmingham)

Daniel Braithwaite, IT RecruitmentConsultant, from Computer FuturesSolutions called me, Yesterday.

 He was proposing me a dot net job in west midlands area. I refused this job, because it was not a web developer (asp.net C#) position. It was a windows forms C# developer job.

So, he then  told me about a SEO position. I was interested, becasue I like to do online marketing and search engine optimization.

In about 2 minutes I've impressed him with my SEO results for my company website. Take a look on my results.

 Some SEO statistics for my website :

After doing some SEO for http://victorantos.com I have some great results.

By default asp.net menu webcontrol is rendering as html "table". This makes difficult to customize menu with CSS .

You could use ASP.NET 2.0 CSS Friendly Control Adapters 1.0 to render menu as html "ul" tags, but there are  some bugs(over 50) at this moment.

 Also I ecountered a menu problem when browsing with IE 6 and using css adapters, simply my menus were not appearing!?

So, the easiest way is using RadMenu control from telerik.com.

My latest website http://apartamente-garsoniere.ro is using a trial version of RadMenu control. And I'm trying to get more points from telerik in order to buy this control 

I tried RadMenu from Telerik, Yesterday. It's really cool.

You can view my dotnetnuke Portal using a special skin with this pretty menu, that I downloaded from Telerik: http://apartamente-garsoniere.ro

Also there is a sample dnn portal based on telerik controls - http://dnn.telerik.com/
