The Weight Loss Calculator Mobile Apps Project will create 3 types of mobile apps, web app, progressive web app, and mobile app.

A web app only works on a desktop device but could be used on a mobile device if it is buried inside a mobile website.

A Progressive web app can be used on both a desktop and mobile device as a stand alone application.

A Mobile App is specifically designed for use on a mobile-smart device. The three different types of apps require programming for each application.

Project WLC Apps will show you how we make all these apps so you can understand how to use the tools and make your own app. Watch the video.

Weight Loss Calculator Status Update

As you can see from the above video clip the calculator interface and support code is working. However a lot of work still needs to be done on project WLC Apps before it is ready for prime time.

The web app is in the final draft and should be available soon. Following that will be the Progressive Web App version. Finally the Android App will be made. (Not neccesarily in that order.)

Stay tuned to the WLC Apps project. We'll update tips you can use to create your own mobile app project. So far we showed you the jQuery editor and a tutorial to use the editor, (see previous blogs).

Today's website tips are beware of project creep and how to avoid it. Project creep happens when a small project gets added on to in the development phase and becomes a big project. Then it keeps creeping up or getting bigger and bigger. Prevent project creep with a mobile app plan.

Did you know creating a theme or color scheme for jQuery Mobile is easy? While jQuery mobile does come with a generic theme, it is very bland. Most developers like a custom theme. Asking "can you match my website and use those colors?"

Sure, yup, no problem with ThemeRoller For jQuery Mobile. Anyone can create a custom color scheme for their app, it's free. This cool website tool is an interactive development editor (IDE).

You simply select a color and drag it to the element you want to style. Then ThemeRoller updates the CSS file for you. When satisfied with your theme you can download the files to your computer. Instructions for including the code in your app are simple. Include a call to the CSS files in the head section of your page.

Do you have the ultimate mobile device? Does it take you for a ride at 90 MPH (140kph)? I am referring to the display screen that comes with a new vehicle. This one is a 7.4" screen, common in newer cars. The 7.4" screen is a touch screen device with great functionality.

With this mobile device the user can interact with it through bluetooth, direct plugin or voice. The user will need to 'pair' up their smartphone or tablet to access some of the features, like cell phone.

Shown on this screen is the 'Settings' button. This is where 'pairing' to other mobile devices is accomplished. Settings is also where the user can personalize the vehicle. Featues such as audio, clock, comfort (level), display theme, lights, voice and more are set on this page.

The drawback to a device like this is the price tag. This display has only been around for a few years and only available in some new cars. One feature is safety as many settings are only available when the vehicle is parked.

My recommendation is to spend an hour or two (in park) locating all the actionable features. Get all your devices paired and settings done before you leave home. This way you are much safer on the road.

Website tips include; One cool feature is the navigation system. A user can use voice activation to set a destination and have the vehicle tell you where to go. You definitely want to get used to this feature long before you leave the driveway.

Happy motoring

I learned a new SEO trick today. How to improve search engine optimization of your blog. Name it properly. I found out from a webmaster guru that naming a blog simply 'Blog' don't cut it. It should describe the content expected.

Are you thinking 'cut what?' I am. While the term 'blog' sums up in a heartbeat what the page is, it doesn't even elude to, let alone describe what is on the page. Am I right?

Therefore we changed the links to this blog to read 'Website Tips.' (Shoulda done that long ago.) Which is also the title and filename for this page. Now we have achieved a kind of synergy. Everything matches now. Meaning the primary keyword, title, filename AND link names are all the same.

Now this blog 'cuts it' whatever that is. We are expecting to see a slight increase in ranking for this page. Now Google will see links with the correct anchor text on every other page on the website.
