After graduating from college, I started looking for a job. After all, I couldn’t support myself with just a small website. I worked in a sales-oriented Internet company some time ago. Since I had to deal with senior corporate executives every day, it was my first time to step into this field. In the sales industry, even how to meet the senior management of a company is a problem. Moreover, this sales industry only looks at performance. The process does not matter what methods and means you use, or how much time you spend in the middle process. No matter how much effort and time you put in, it's all in vain. If you don't have performance, you'll only get 800 yuan a month, so you won't be able to stay in that company for long, so when you look for it, you should pay attention to find a technology-based company. It may be God's favor. Secondly, I went for an interview the same day and was successful. It was a technical position - web design.
I thought I could work in that company with a little bit of skills, but my boss asked me on my first day at work: What are your strengths? I read a few books on CSS and yelled, "I know how to be an artist!" (The company is a new Internet company, and it is still mainly operating a download site in the early stage. Currently, the number of daily visits is only four or five. Thousands of IPs, working on a gaming website at the same time)
When the boss looks at his staffing, he sees that there is no shortage of artists. He only needs one person to work on special topics. Those who work on special topics also need artists. If it is just right, you can work on special topics. The prerequisites are:
1. The special interface format does not require you to do whatever you want;
2. Beautiful, the kind that netizens will be attracted to the page as soon as they click on it;
3. Baidu’s collection should be good. What is good collection means that Baidu will collect your topic as soon as it is published;
4. In order to reduce your workload, you can use common headers, comments, and tails;
5. Just one topic per day;
6. As for the required topic, I will tell you every morning.
Then I thought about it and summarized the boss's requirements. This requires more than just web art. First of all, you must understand PS. If you want to be more beautiful, you must be proficient in Flash. This takes into account the various resolutions used by everyone. You need to know AI, and you need to understand SEO, and if you want to make a special topic interface, you need to be fast, one topic a day, and you can make pictures, materials, and articles by yourself. Finally, you have to understand ASP, plus PHP and SQL statements. You all admit it, after all, you are a newcomer, and you focus on learning!
So the art career of one theme a day began, and I started the office project on the first day. After all, it was my first time to do it, so I imitated a theme and got it done. Since I didn’t know what the next topic would be, my boss unexpectedly told me when I went to work the next day that I would do a topic on Office 2003 today. I would be more focused on what I did yesterday and I would finish it at seven or eight in the evening. Well, it’s Saturday and Sunday. I have two days off. I come back to work on Monday, which is also the third day. The boss still said the same thing. Let’s do Word2003 today. I’m afraid I heard it wrong this time. I asked again to make sure I didn’t hear it. Wrong, I went all over the Internet to find materials related to Word 2003, and I finished it in the evening. At this time, I started to wonder if the boss was out of his mind, why was he tossing and turning around the office.
By the fourth day, I learned a little smarter. When I went to work in the morning, I took the initiative to talk about the most popular mobile software. When the boss heard this, he said, okay, you can do a UC topic. This time, it will be a little more relaxed. Well, I am quite familiar with this UC. Once I went to the UC official website and took a look, I decided to imitate its official website. It took less than two hours to get it done. I didn’t want this UC website to have to consider mobile phones and foreign visitors. The problem is that I have to consider a lot of these aspects in JS and CSS. This also causes the UC topics I have made to always display garbled characters when they are online, or they are not displayed at all. I took a good look at each line of code in index.html locally. , I was convinced that it was correct, and the encoding was correct, so I tried to change it to GB2312, GBK, UIF and other encoding formats. There was no problem. I worked on it for three hours, but it was still not done. It was seven o'clock, I got off work, and I was going back. On the bus, I finally thought about it. It might not be a coding problem, but a JS calling problem. I had the urge to get off the bus and go to the company to test it again, but I still controlled it and ran there early the next morning. At the company, I turned on my computer and looked at every JS carefully. I finally found a JS that judged the browser type to translate each Chinese character into English. After removing this JS, there was finally no garbled code.
Let’s move on to the main topic of art. I finished a special topic today. A big brother in the company who has been doing SEO for a long time came over and took a look. This won’t work. The introduction information of this software needs to be placed here, and that one won’t work either. , it must be placed after this one, and if you give too many links to this one, Baidu will be disgusted. Little does he know that if an artist has positioned the page well, it will have to be calculated again if it is modified. Because if the art is done well, the accuracy must be such that every pixel is under your control. He only values Baidu's feelings, but completely ignores my "feelings". When the big brother said it, I had to come again. Typesetting according to his requirements, calculating how many pixels each picture and line of text occupy, and repositioning the interface. The key is that there is no unified standard for IE6, IE7, 8 and FF browsers, alas. , I had to use IE6 as the standard. After a long time, I finally rearranged the format according to the big brother's request. I was about to breathe a sigh of relief. The partner and boss of the company came over and took a look at the interface and asked, how do I make this picture? It's so bad, I can't help it. I only know a lot about PS, and my boss can't do anything about it. He doesn't give me a PS expert to work with, saying that the artist is not proficient in PS. Artist, I admit this. When he looked at my code again and saw <div class=navleft>, he said, "How can this work?" I was puzzled, "Why can't this work?" He said, "There are no quotation marks." ! I retorted that it could not be recognized correctly in that browser at present. He was okay, but he just said that this would not be possible in the future. Furthermore, you should develop good habits when writing code. You should follow HTML5 That makes sense. I admit it. I’ll slowly add the quotation marks again.
Okay, the real boss came over and said, Liu Xu, the several topics you did a few days ago are not only unreadable in terms of the beautiful interface, but the most important thing is, why didn't Baidu include one of your articles? I am even more depressed. This Baidu is not owned by my family. Can I just do whatever I want from Baidu? Besides, I pay attention to SEO when doing special topics. I determine the keywords for each topic. He said that the articles in my topic were not original, so Baidu didn’t include your article. I was also surprised. Why didn’t Baidu include the topic I made? I didn’t directly copy the article on the Internet, but added most of it. My own words are not included, but several other search engines still give me some respect, such as Google, Sogou, Sosou, and Yahoo!, especially Google, which ranks me on a popular keyword. When I got to the first place, although Google only included one page of mine, it ranked first for popular keywords and still brought hundreds of IPs to my topic every day, which gave me a little room to speak in front of the boss. I'm really surprised. Why does Baidu have no feeling at all about the topic I made? This is the biggest problem at present. Why doesn't Baidu include the topic I made in a certain aspect? At the same time, this is something that has been bothering me. The topic content is completely original, and the interface design is also using DIV+CSS. Writing an article with the same original text can be included in Baidu within an hour. The same content can be included in the topic Baidu. It will not be included. This special topic is also to increase Baidu's weight on the website. Now that this situation occurs, I have analyzed it myself. It may be because there is too little topic content, so I would like to point out here that when making special topics, the page There must be a lot of content involved, especially text content. Use less pictures and more text!
Why do you say you can’t be an artist? Let’s do the math below. My monthly salary is 900 yuan, which averages out to 30 yuan per day. Excluding public transportation and three meals a day, it’s close to 20 yuan. The remaining amount is only 10 yuan. I still have to accept it. The boss asked me to work overtime in various ways. I once left at 18:30 because the topic for that day was completed. The next day, the boss said, "Why did Liu Xu leave so early yesterday? This is not the same as the black paper I signed." The contract written in white is 8:30-12:00 13:30-18:00. There is such a big difference in eight hours a week, five days and three days. It was the "pointing" from the old employee who came to the company first. So for ten yuan a day, you have to accept so much pressure! From this point you can see what it is like to be an artist. More importantly, when people look at a program and a website, they will only see the page. Is the page beautiful and attractive? Baidu will accept it. If your page is not included, it is all your artist's fault. If the page is well done, it doesn't matter. This is what your artist should do. If it is not done well, it is entirely your artist's responsibility. The person to blame must be this website. The art of the page, the access speed of the program, and Baidu's inclusion are all related to the level of programming in the background of the program, not just the art!
