How to Increase the Life of a Digital Camera

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Technology moves at a pretty fast pace. You can buy a brand new computer or camera, and it is, almost instantly, outdated. However, you can increase its lifespan by taking proper care of your camera.

Steps

Lens Care

The lens of your digital camera is its eye or window to the outside world. It is easily the most important component in any camera. To take care of the lens, make sure that you never, ever touch directly with your fingers. Also, make sure that you put on the lens cap when not shooting pictures.
If you really need to clean the lens, use good lens cleaning equipment. Investing in such equipment is really important. Always use a good lens brush, lens blower and lens cloth to do the job.

Temperature

The other thing to look out for is the temperature under which the camera is stored. You should always keep the camera out of sun. One mistake that newbies always make is to store the digital camera in the extremely hot temperatures (e.g. the car boot [trunk]). Don’t ever do that. It’s also important not to store the camera in extremely cold temperatures either.

Storage

When storing your digital camera, you need to keep it away from magnets of any form. Magnets will affect the circuitry of your digital camera and should not be placed near it.
Another point to note is to use silica gel to combat condensation. Many electronic products come with silica gel capsules. Keep these and put them in your digital camera storage box. It will prevent condensation.
The batteries of the camera should also be removed if you intend to store the camera away for a long time. The reason is that batteries can have corrosive leaks over time.

Protect Delicate Components

1. You also need to protect those delicate components. In particular, watch out for the
memory card (whether it is a CompactFlash, SD or MMC card). Handle them with care
because they are small and delicate.

2. Camera panels are also very delicate. In my Canon PowerShot S500, the panel for the USB
connect and the battery is a tad flimsy. Make sure to handle it with care whenever you
open it.

Conclusion

Your digital camera cost a lot of money and it pays to take care of it. Remember to apply the above tips to preserve your camera and it’ll last you a long, long time. Good luck!

Learn to Take Beautiful Photos

If you want to improve your digital photography skills, you may want to take a look at Digital Photography Success. This e-book package includes excellent step-by-step instructions on how to take pictures of beautiful landscapes, people, nature, fireworks, night scenes, etc. Learn how to shoot professional photos - just like those you see in glossy magazine covers.
You can also look around. Search on Google or your favorite search engine. One web site, with a lot of free, helpful tutorials[1] is very informative.

Warnings

. Do not drop it.

Do not get food all over it.
Do not ever touch the Lens.
Do not get sand in it.
Do not get it near a magnet.
Do not get it wet.

How to Improve Digital Photo Quality in Photoshop

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Have you ever wanted to improve the quality of a photo? Maybe you took it with a disposable camera and scanned. Or, maybe you took it with a digital camera, but it still doesn't look right. Here's a quick way to drastically enhance the quality of a digital photo.

Steps

Open your photo via Photoshop. If you need to, crop your photo using the CROP tool on the left tool bar. This can help remove any unnecessary background that may be in there.

Once cropped, if you cropped it, click on IMAGE at the top and select ADJUSTMENTS/AUTO LEVELS. Once you have done that, back to adjustments and this time select AUTO CONTRAST. And again, under adjustments, run AUTO COLOR.

After you've got those three down, bring up the curves palette with Ctrl+M. Drag that diagonal line until you get the balance that you like. You can drag it twice.

Finally, on your main image layer, click the FILTER menu. Open the SHARPEN sub-menu and run UNSHARP MASK. 100%, one to two pixels and two to ten threshold levels will make your images look much sharper.

Tips

Don't try to overdo it. Sometimes adding too many effects to a photo can ruin the photo completely. People will be focused on how jazzed-up it is rather than the subject of the photo.

How to Transfer Digital Photos from Your Digital Camera to Your Computer

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

It can be a hassle and can take a lot of time for an inexperienced user to transfer digital photos from digital camera to a personal computer. However, once learned, it will take only a matter of minutes to transfer your photos from your digital camera to your computer. This lesson will help you achieve quick and easy photo transfer from a digital camera to a computer.

Steps

Plug the USB cable into your camera.
Plug the other end of the USB cable into the USB spot on your computer. On most laptops the USB spot is located on the back, for desktop computers it is usually on the front.
A screen will then pop up asking what action you wish to take. Choose the option "Copy pictures to a folder on my computer using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard." Another screen will then pop up indicating that the pictures are being copied.
Click NEXT on the screen that pops up.
Check off which pictures you'd like to have copied. If you want them all copied to the computer then keep all of the boxes checked. If you'd rather select only certain pictures, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click "CLEAR ALL." You can then go through and check the pictures you wish to have copied.
This is the trickies step. The screen will ask you to type a name for this particular group of pictures. Label it however you wish. For example "Beach Trip 2006." It will aslo ask you where you'd like the pictures to be saved. As a default, My Pictures should already be in the box.
On the bottom of the page there is a box that suggests deleting pictures from the camera after copying is completed. If you wish for your pictures to be deleted from your camera click this box. If not, leave it blank.
The following screen shows that the copying is in progress and long until it is completed.
The next page to pop up will ask you what you'd like to do next. There are three different options to choose from. However, selecting the last option "Nothing. I'm finished working with these pictures." is the best option. You can then view your pictures and decide what to do from there.
The last page to pop up will state that the Camera Wizard is done. Click FINISH at the bottom of the screen.
Your pictures will then appear in the folder that you selected earlier in the process and you can then view them.

Tips

Make sure to follow all of the steps correctly!
Just follow the directions and you will have no problems!

Warnings

Make sure that you do not choose to erase your pictures off of your camera if you are not 100% sure you want them gone. There is no way to get them back on!

Things You'll Need

Digital Camera
USB cable for the camera (usually a universal one will work)
A computer (laptop or desktop)
Camera Wizard on the computer (most computers come equipped with it)

How to Take a Picture with a Digital Camera

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

A simple guide to taking pictures with sometimes complex digital cameras.

Steps

Find the "on" button (usually on top of the camera) and press it. Wait for it to turn on and load.
Adjust settings if necessary (refer to users manual).
Look into LCD screen on back of camera to aim the camera at whatever your target is. Zoom in or out if necessary.
Find the photo button (always on top right of the camera).
Once target is in the screen how you want it, hold the camera still, press and hold in the button until the camera flashes.
View your picture by using the playback button on the back of the camera.
Insert your memory card or attach your USB cord to your computer and upload your pictures onto your computer to print or save.

Tips

On most digital cameras, if you press the photo button (the on that takes the pictures) halfway, it will focus the picture so the image will look nicer.
If you are taking pictures in a dark environment you can turn on the flash so it is easier to see the picture. Most digital cameras have a mode to do this automatically.

Always read the manual that is packaged with your camera. They have lots of handy tips and tricks that you never thought you could possibly do with a gadget.

Warnings

Make sure with any software you use that it is safe for your PC and your camera. It is highly recommended that you virus-check everything you download or install.

Things You'll Need

How to Blur the Background of a Digital Image

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Maybe you have taken a picture of a group of people, and now you want to highlight one individual? Or perhaps you thought you've taken the perfect picture, except something in the background is distracting from the photo?Learn how to enhance your digital photos by blurring the background with GIMP or Adobe Photoshop.

Steps

Use a graphic editing application such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or GIMP.
Open the image file. Choose an image with a good resolution to blur the background.
Determine which areas you want to stay in focus (the foreground), and what areas you want to have blurred (the background). Set the zoom to see the entire image on your monitor. This will help you get an idea of where to make your selections. To zoom in and out, use the Ctrl- and Ctrl+ keyboard shortcut in Photoshop.
Click and hold on the Lasso tool (it looks like a rope lasso), then select the Polygonal Lasso tool in Photoshop. Other graphic editing applications may have this option accessible as a "point to point" feature in a "Tool Options" toolbar.

If the Lasso tool is not visible in Photoshop, click on the "Window" menu and select "Tools".
If the "Tool Options" toolbar is not visible in Photo Shop Pro, enable it from the "View" -> "Toolbars" menu.

Zoom in on the image until it appears pixelated. This will give you finer control over your selection, but you may have to scroll around the image while using the tool.
Select the foreground.

Click once with the Lasso tool to set a point.
Move your cursor to the next point to make a line, then click again.
Repeat until you have a somewhat accurate selection of the foreground.
Make sure the shape you create ends where you started so that the entire foreground is selected. If so desired, make multiple selected areas using the Lasso tool.

Use the studio quality method to create a professional result. A faster method is described later in this article.

Copy the foreground selection by pressing Ctrl-C.
Paste the foreground selection over top of the existing image.
Select the Move tool which looks like a cursor arrow, then drag the newly pasted foreground to line it up over top of the existing image so that they match. The newly pasted foreground and the original image should match.
Select the Background layer that contains the original image. This is available from the Layers toolbar. If this "Layers" toolbar is not visible in Photoshop, select it from the "Window" menu.
Select the entire image by pressing the Ctrl A keyboard shortcut, or using the "Select" menu and "All" command in Photoshop.
Apply a "Blur More" filter to the selection. In Photoshop, select the "Filter" menu and choose "Blur" -> "Blur More".
Repeat this Blur More command until you achieve the desired effect. In Photoshop, the Ctrl F keyboard shortcut will repeat the last filter command.
Alternatively, use the "Gaussian Blur" effect instead and try different pixel radius values. This will give you a deeper control over the blur effect.
Flatten your image's layers by selecting "Layer" from the menu, and "Flatten Image". If your foreground appears too sharp, you may either undo some of your Blur More commands (from the "History" toolbar) and try again, or change how the two layers combine. To do this:

Try changing the newly copied foreground layer's "Opacity". This is visible in the Layers toolbar. A good opacity level to start at is 50%, then move up a little at a time until you find a good blend.
Try changing how the layer combines with other layers by changing its property, also available in the Layers toolbar. For example, try "Darken" instead of "Normal" for an artistic sketch effect.

Blur the edges of your in-focus foreground using the "Blur Tool", which should be on the same toolbar as the "Lasso Tool" in Photshop.

Set the blur tool's strength to somewhere around 33%.
Set your brush size to a comfortable level such as a radius of 5 to 15 pixels. If you don't see a brush size option, select "Brushes" from the "Window" menu in Photoshop.
Use the blur tool to touch up the outside edge of your foreground, especially where the image seems pixelated. This will help to create a sense of transition between your foreground and background that is easy on the eyes.

Use the "Quick & Dirty" method if you're looking for something faster and easier:

Inverse the selection by pressing the Ctrl Shift I keyboard shortcut in Photoshop, or by selecting "Inverse" from the "Select" menu. For Paint Shop Pro, this may be the "Invert" command from the "Selections" menu.
Apply a "Blur More" filter to the selection. In Photoshop, select the "Filter" menu and choose "Blur" -> "Blur More".
Repeat this Blur More command until you achieve the desired effect. In Photoshop, the Ctrl F keyboard shortcut will repeat the last filter command.
Alternatively, use the "Gaussian Blur" effect instead and try different pixel radius values. This will give you a deeper control over the blur effect.

Save your image under a different name (to keep your original separate) by using the "Save As..." option in the "File" menu.
Share your new image with friends and family!

Video

This video features two ways of blurring the background of an image, plus a few tips.

Tips

The higher the megapixels of your camera, the better your image resolution will be. It is difficult to enhance a picture with a lower resolution.
Be very precise in outlining your foreground, especially when using the "Quick & Dirty" method. Otherwise, your foreground will look choppy or it will also include part of the background that may be in focus as well.
Before making any alterations to a photograph, make a copy, then convert the copy to 16 million colors, if it is not already set for 16 million colors. All of the algorithms in these digital darkroom programs work better in 16 million colors than in other modes.
When using the lasso tool, you can make the edges blend better by changing the feather amount at the top. It is normally set to 0 but you can change it to more like 3-7. It gives a softer edge.
This technique produces somewhat artificial looking images. If you want a more natural look, blend your blur so it truly only affects items in the background. In the example above, if the grass in front of the child were still sharp it would more accurately simulate a narrow "depth of field", which would look more natural.
Some digital editing programs have a feature known as zoom blur that allows you to pick a point in your image and blur out from that point.
Using digital editing to blur the background does not create true depth because it blurs everything in the background uniformly rather than independently based on distance from the lens. If you are using Photoshop CS2 it now offers a 'smart blur' option in the filters sections under blur. The filter takes into account the depth of field and perspective and applies more blurring to pixels it interprets as farther away and less to pixels perceived as closer to the subject. The filter is also adjustable so it is better to gradually add the effect until you have the look desired.

Warnings

Make sure you do not save over your original file! Once your image file is overwritten, it is gone for good if that was your only copy.

Things You'll Need

GIMP, Paint.NET, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements or Corel Paint Shop Pro (formerly from JASC)
A digital image of adequate resolution
A drawing tablet is also a recommended tool to make precise selections.

How to Increase Website Traffic

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

One of the Internet's strengths is its ability to help consumers find the right needle in a digital haystack of data. ~ Jared Sandberg
There are many creative ways to increase traffic to your website. Some will cost you money, and some won't. Below you'll find many legitimate ways (ranging from free to costly) to boost the number of visitors to your website. But if you don't have so much as a cent to spare, read How to Increase Website Traffic for Free.

Steps

Offer free, original, and quality content on your site. This is the most effective means for increasing traffic to a website; offering people something that they cannot obtain elsewhere, or at least, not to the level of quality that you are offering it. Ways in which to ensure that your content is of higher quality than competitors or is unique include:

Creating content that is helpful and useful. Simply cobbling together information from another website will not generate traffic. You need to offer visitors the information they need to achieve a goal, solve a problem, be entertained, find out quality news or have a good laugh.
Keep it fresh. For repeat visits, it is crucial to provide regular updates to the website, especially in frequently viewed zones. Add fresh content every few days if possible; at a minimum, weekly.
Outsource article writing. If you hate the thought of generating content yourself, or your team is not writing-savvy, consider outsourcing this end of the task. Depending on the length, content, specialization and quality required, prices can start as low as US$5 per article. However, don't neglect attempting to write your own work - who better than you knows your own business, hobby or club and can express precisely what needs to be said? Just sit down and start writing an article. You may be impressed when you're done!
Get a proofreader. Poor spelling and grammar reflect badly on the services and information being provided; avoid unwarranted negative judgments by getting the writing in order prior to publication online.
Avoid content generators. While these were once the delight of a fledgling web industry, they are no longer useful. Putting your own team's creativity online is what is useful.
Never copy and paste from another website - Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines are too smart for this nowadays and will detect copied and unoriginal content, sending you to the bottom of the pile.

Improve your search engine ranking by focusing your content on keywords related to your topic. This is called search engine optimization and will help people find your website when they're searching the Web. Make sure the keywords flow naturally with the text and when you are brainstorming for good words, ask around for words that come naturally to people of all ages when looking for your type of site. To help you understand better, realize that the keywords not only go into headings and page names but also into "meta tags". "Meta tags" are the software code that website visitors do not see but search engines do. Finally, don't overdo the keywords; over-stuffing keywords will result in a very low search ranking for your website. Also, be very careful not to place key text inside graphics; search engines cannot pick up graphics.
Get linked. This is a very important part of website management. Exchange links. Trading links with other websites that are closely related to the subject of your website can bring you more website traffic. These are two-way links because you must provide a link to them, too, and linking to low-quality websites can threaten the credibility of yours. Only link to sites that are dead on topic, and truly help your visitors. Instead of trading links, you could also trade banner ads, half page ads, classified ads, etc.
Advertise your presence. Besides using links, you must make use of numerous other ways to increase web traffic. Sit down and write a list of all the ways you can think of to get your web address noticed and clicked on. For example:

Use e-zines. Make your own that relate to your website and form a regular reminder each issue for people to visit your website. Submit all the free e-zine directories on the internet.
Submit your articles to e-zines, websites and writing sites that accept article submissions. Include your business information and web address at the end of the article. This is a good way to create one-way backlinks to your website. This is the most effective way to get listed on any search engine. Usually, the more relevant links you have pointing to your site the higher you will rank.
Go beyond the electronic medium and into the print medium. Advertise in local newspapers, business brochures, magazines, nationwide publications and mail-drop literature. And don't forget the perennial favorite, the good old Yellow Pages™ - printed version naturally!
Small business cards left in cafés, on signboards, exchanged at meetings etc.
Use local resources such as clubs, libraries and community centers for non-profit website awareness raising.
Participate on message boards. Post answers to other people's questions, ask questions and post appropriate information. Include your signature file containing your website's URL at the end of all your postings.
Start your own online discussion community. It could be an online message board, e-mail discussion list or chat room. When people get involved in your community, they will regularly return to communicate with others.
Use word of mouth. Tell everyone you know about your website, give out business cards to passers-by in the street, and so on. You might even want to run a guerrilla marketing program!
Use your car, especially if your website is area-specific (e.g. a website detailing local events or selling local services). Get some vinyl decals or bumper stickers created and turn your car into a moving advertisement, literally driving traffic to your web site!

Give freebies. Who doesn't like a freebie?! Online freebies are commonplace and they leave the visitor wanting more when they are well written and informative introductory materials. Consider such freebies as:

Giving away an eBook with your ad on it. Allow your visitors to also give the freebie away. This'll increase your ad exposure and increase web traffic to your website at the same time;
Holding free online classes or seminars. They could be held in your website's chat room. The idea of "live" information will definitely entice people to visit your website. You will become known as an expert on the topic.
Giving visitors a free entry into your contest or sweepstakes. The prizes should be something of interest or value to your visitors. Most people who enter will continually revisit your web site to get the results.
Letting visitors download free software such as freeware, shareware, demos etc. You could even turn part of your site into a free software directory. If you created the software, include your ad inside and let other people give it away.
Targeting specific groups who might worry about using the internet with free classes in using it on your site - senior citizens, busy workers etc. might find these convenient and alluring.
Offering free online services or utilities from your website. For instance, they could be search engine submitting, copywriting proofreading etc. The service or utility should be helpful to your target audience.
Giving free consulting to people who visit your website. You could offer your knowledge via e-mail or by telephone. People will consider this a huge value because consulting fees can be very expensive.
Offering a free start-up package that has a finite time; enough time for the customer to practice with your online product and like it enough to pay for continued use.
Sending out free CD-Roms, CDs, DVDs etc. that contain starter packs or teasers to encourage the customer to use your site more.
Offering free screensavers or templates for business cards, cards, writing paper etc., anything that a customer can print out.

Be patient. Search engines need a lot of time to index a new website and domain. They need time to index all your content; it's worth the wait and should be factored into your website profitability and/or popularity timeline. In the meantime, continue to add high quality content to your website and keep it up-to-date and relevant.

Tips

Start right here on wikiHow. Read up on how to publicize your website on wikiHow without breaking the rules. If you can provide quality content, you can create a win-win relationship where you share knowledge and get publicity in return.

Warnings

Never, ever spam. Your credibility will be gone before you know it, and with it will go your traffic.
Don't get caught up with website generators and internet tricks. All these "black hat" tricks will only work temporarily. Your business needs to be set up for the long term.
Do not be fooled by those traffic sellers promising thousands of hits an hour. What they really do is load up your URL in a program, along with a list of proxies. Then they run the program for a few hours. It looks like someone is on your site because your logs show visitors from thousands of different IPs. What happens in reality is your website is just pinged by the proxy, no one really sees your site. It is a waste of money.

How to Market Your Website

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

An overview of internet marketing and what every business should know about effective web promotion.

Steps

Get a website - if you don't have the budget ($2500 - $5000) for a custom designed website, get a starter website that includes everything you need to get your business online in a few days. It will not offer as many options, but will be far cheaper. See External links below. Great options available for renting a website, see http://www.renthttp.com. This will allow you to add eCommerce, Blog, Photogallery, forum etc. at no additional cost.
Proofread your website: There's no point in marketing it like crazy if it has silly errors in it. Make sure it's ready for the professional world.
Register a great domain name: Find a domain name that has the type of business in the name. Ie, a dog walker might register www.sanfranciscodogwalking.com.
Search Engine Optimize your site: Make sure your site has the necessary meta tags (description, title, and keywords), alt tags, title tags, and copywriting. If these are new terms for you, visit http://www.sadiedesigns.com/blog.shtml for a basic web marketing glossary.
Add your site to local searches: Most of the search engines have local search functions, and you should definitely appear there. Visit www.local.yahoo.com, www.local.google.com, and www.superpages.com to list your site.
Register your site with search engines: Submit your site to the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) and directories (DMOZ).
Build links: Ask other related sites to link to your site. You'll have better luck if your site offers solid resources, tools, or tips for readers. Also submit to related directories.
Write articles: Write articles about topics relating to your site, and publish them on your site. Also submit them to as many article directories as you can find. Just do a search for "Article Submit".

Tips

Make it easy for people to contact you from your site by adding a Contact Us form, not just listing your email address.

Warnings

Listing Email with 'mailto' tag can create problem of SPAM flood. Try to convert your email address in 'Human Readable' format.

How to Create a Free Website Using Frontpage Express

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Ever wanted to know how to make a website using Frontpage Express? You've come to the right place. This is how to create a free website for all you budget handlers out there.

Steps

Go to a free website hosting like www.freeservers.com or www.mysite.com. (which literally are the same website).
Register your domain name for free - if you are using a subdomain name, otherwise there's a fee for it.
Use the FTP uploader; before you do that, make a website folder in My Documents or wherever you choose.
Open Frontpage Express and start the process.
Go to "Save As" and save it in your website folder, after you're done with each page.

Tips

While creating a free account, you have the opportunity to choose your subdomain name. To make the web address look professional, you can choose a shorter subdomain such as 8k.com or gq.nu.
If you would like to purchase an actual domain, you can simply upgrade your account. (This is found on the main menu, after logging onto your account).

Warnings

Don't create any website that has something to do with selling illegal stuff, or giving out free immigration papers. That's just wrong, and could lead up to an estimated 20 years in prison and/or a $200,000 fine.

How to Create Website Audio

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Creating website audio isn't as difficult as you may think. It's as simple as linking the audio so that everyone may hear it. There are two types of audio on a web page. Remember, they each have their own format, so pay close attention to this when linking.

Steps

Create audio on your computer. It can either be a download or something you've saved using a microphone.
Assuming you have a website, log in to your website and upload the audio.
Go into the page you want the audio to appear on and enter the following code (Note: Use no spaces at the beginning and end (the ) and replace the 'myaudioname.mp3' with the name of your audio ALONG with the extension (the extension is the ".mp3" part)): Click here to listen
To embed music into your site so it starts playing automatically every time someone enters your page, you simply enter this code:
Again, change the spaces at the beginning and end and alter the file name.

Tips

You can upload all kinds of audio, including these formats: mp3, wav, midi, wma, and many, many others. Be sure to make note of the extension (format) and place it in with the name when you're adding music to your site. Otherwise, it won't play.
Audio can take up a lot of space. Sometimes, people will add audio on a different server and then link to it on their website. It plays and downloads just the same.

Warnings

You can't link audio from your computer to a website. It just doesn't work, because not everyone can access your computer 24 hours a day. It MUST be uploaded to the website server.
Audio takes up a lot of space, and some free servers don't allow some audio/video formats. Be sure to take note of what they do and do not allow. Your site might be deleted if you ignore the rules!
Some computers may freeze up when audio is embedded in the site. Add a simple, short audio.

How to Access Useful Web Development Tools

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Have you ever seen a neat feature on a web site but do not know how to imitate it yourself? Well by using a nifty little tool from Mozilla Firefox you can view the source code and style sheets for any website you like!
The HTML in the source code and style sheets can help start you in the right direction.

Steps

Download and install Mozilla Firefox. Click on this link Firefox Add-ons.

Click on the "Extensions" tab
Click on "Developer Tools" - located on the left hand side of the window.
Type "Web Developer" in the search box .
Click "Search."

Scroll down the screen until you see "Web Developer 1.0.2." Click on "Web Developer 1.0.2."
Click "Install Now" after a window prompting you to install appears. Close the Extensions box that appears after download is complete. Close all open Firefox windows.
Open new Firefox window.# Navigate to the site whose source code and style sheet you would like to view.
Click "View Source" on the tool bar and click "View Source" on the menu that drops down.
Look to see a window with the HTML source code for the present page appear. Next view the style sheet for the page.

Click "CSS" on the tool bar.

Notice that a new tab opens in Firefox with the style sheet code.

Tips

After you restart Firefox, if the web Developer ToolBar does not automatically appear, right click on the address bar and click "Web Developer ToolBar."
Once you are comfortable viewing and analyzing source code and style sheets, try out the other development tools available in the tool bar such as playing around with a web site's images (making them invisible) or using the outline feature to see what parts of the web site are in tables.
If you just want to view the HTML you can use any text editor and most browsers.
For just seeing HTML in a browser it should be under either right click, view or options.
For seeing HTML in a text editor just direct your chosen editor to open the html web page.

Warnings

Be sure to close all Firefox windows after the download is completed. The Web Developer Toolbar will not appear until after Firefox is completely restarted.

Things You'll Need

How to Start an Online Discussion Community

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Online message boards and BBS systems can be a great way to connect people who share similar interests. By following a few easy steps, you can create a thriving online community which will provide you and your membership with many entertaining discussions.

Steps

Choose a specific community topic. If you plan to manage the community yourself, pick something that you are knowledgeable about and interested in. Because there are already so many online discussion forums available, it's best to serve a well-defined niche. For example, "Buddhist Republican Forum" will probably work better than "Religion & Politics Forum."
Select a hosting package. If you have some webspace and a good bit of experience with web development, you can set up your own message board using a software package. If you are unable to set up your own hosting, you can use one of the remotely hosted forum services such as EZboard, or Proboards.
Create your forums (discussion areas). Ideally, you want 5-10 separate forums, each dealing with some aspect of your community topic. For example, you can have a "General Discussion" forum, a "Science" forum, a "Political Discussion" forum, etc. Try not to over-categorize. Ask yourself if each subforum you add will make your community better by facilitating new topics or if it will detract by spreading content too thin and forcing the users to search for content they are looking for.
Advertise your community. If you have some online friends with similar interests, send them a quick e-mail to let them know about your "grand opening." If you have a website, announce your new community to your visitors. Whatever you do, avoid "spamming" (advertising to strangers without permission). Spamming will ruin the reputation of your community before it has a chance to get started.
Select moderators. Each separate discussion forum within your community should have its own moderator. The moderator keeps the discussions fresh by starting new topics and removing inappropriate content. Community users who are knowledgeable about the subject matter of the forum and willing to spend a few minutes a day helping the community grow will make good moderators.
Manage the community. You and the team of moderators should agree on some basic rules of conduct (such as "no personal attacks"), and enforce them. Occasionally, you may need to ban a disruptive user from your community in order to prevent problems.
Make strategic alliances. Exchange links with other communities with similar interests in order to grow your user base. As your community increases in size and activity, you will have more opportunities to create strategic partnerships with other websites.
Develop a community atmosphere over time. You need to foster a sense of loyalty and "belonging" among your membership, or they will eventually go somewhere else. Games, contests, custom titles for users, and other "gimmicks" work well, but simple friendliness and respect are even better.

Tips

You may want to have a place for users to forward spam and post random garbage: for most forums, it's going to happen anyway, so it's best to make a subforum where people can do it without distracting from the main content of the bulletin board.
Don't expect overnight success. It takes time to build a large and active membership. Keep at it, and the word will eventually get around. It may take several years before the discussion community becomes self-sufficient.
Tailor your rules and standards to your subject matter. For example, a religious community will probably have much stricter rules than one about making prank phone calls. Your community standards should be neither too strict or too relaxed for your target audience.
Keep staff and forums proportional to the community. If you only have thirty members, you do not need twenty moderators or fifty forums. Only add staff and forums when necessary - you should not make people into staff just because they are your friends or they asked, and you should not make an entire forum for Pokémon on a political discussion board just because you enjoy the games.

Warnings

If you choose to have someone host your forum for you they may force your forum members to view advertisements. This is the case with most free forum hosts. You can usually remove the ads for a small fee. You can, however, sometimes find a free forum host without forced ads. Choosing a host without ads gives your forums a more professional look that your visitors will enjoy.
As a community administrator, be prepared to encounter some occasional harassment. Disruptive users are a sad fact of internet life, and many of them do not take kindly to being banned from the community. If you are highly sensitive to criticism, you may want to consider letting someone else run your community for you.

How to Write Successfully for the Web

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Online readers love free information. They scour the Internet daily looking for specific information to solve their problems, help them be successful, live longer or get healthy. You should join the information revolution too! Publish your free, helpful solution-oriented articles to the web.

Steps

Make your article scan ready. A study by Jakob Nielson, publicized as the guru of web page usability by the New York Times, revealed that only 16 percent of his test users actually read the copy they found online; 79 percent of them simply scanned it. Your impatient web readers will want important information to jump out at them. Some practical ways to make your text scannable:
- headings
- sub-headings
- bulleted lists
- numbered lists
- easy steps
- typeface variation
For example, compelling headlines are considered an art. Are you drawn to the author's article as "How to Write Web Articles" or "5 Tips to Write Winning Web Articles?" However, overuse of any or all of these elements may bring the quality down.
Keep it short. Get and keep the attention of web readers by delivering short messages. You put effort into gaining your web reader's attention; now make their click worthwhile with brief compelling copy in bite sizes. Start with the conclusion. Your readers may not make it to the end of your piece to get it. Web readers don't want to get bogged down in long blocks of text. So get to the point early and use the rest of your article to support that main point.
Make your title sizzle. Dull titles will not capture your readers' interest. It will make your article fade into the sea of other boring articles listed in article banks these days. You have to create a title that will reach out and grab your reader by the collar. Make it short. Create interest. Include the main benefit or solution in your title.
Talk to your target audience. Your information is not for everyone. Avoid generalities. Choose a friend or family member that's interested in your topic. Write your article to them. Writing to a friend will make your copy personable and friendly. You won't come across as a fussy hen, do this, do this, don't do that. You will connect with your readers as a friend giving advice. Your article will do a better job of building credibility for you.
Add substance. Resist fluffing your articles. Include practical, valuable information in your copy. Everyone loses when you don't take the time to impart substance. It increases the reputation of the web being an unreliable source of knowledge. Additionally, lack of substance will block your road to profitable referrals. Do the research and/or draw from your knowledge and experience to illustrate. Your stories and real life examples will meet your reader's need for practical information and connect with their emotion. It's a known fact emotions will move people to action. Whether you desire them to act by signing up or making a purchase, add substance and improve your reader responses.
Make it web professional. Create a more web professional look by using short sentences, then format your page to approximately 65 characters per line. Long stringed sentences that stream from side to side of the web page look visually unprofessional. Select a layout for your article from several short article formats that include the how-to, tips list, question-answer, problem-solutions and interview. Make your introduction and summary short but do add one. Your web readers don't want just a list of boring facts and information. They want to connect with you by reading your personable introduction and practical tips with a definite ending or summary. Remember, excited readers become enthusiastic buyers and enthusiastic buyers will refer your product or service to all their friends.
Don't spice the article with "optimized" keywords to flatter search engines -- this how-to is about how to write successfully for the web, not search engines, after all. Usually, the search engines will follow the links of real readers, who actually liked your content.

Tips

Long paragraphs are usually acceptable for print media; they are not for the web.
You may use these guidelines for all kinds of web copy. The same elements (using keywords, making your article professional, adding substance, keeping it short and making your copy scannable) will improve the quality of your articles. Practice these simple principles and write winning articles to distribute on the web everywhere.
Keep the writing short, simple and on point. Jakob Nielsen recommends using half the word text online compared to print.
Print a hardcopy of your article and read it an hour later in a different setting. Ask someone else to review it, both online and in print.
Use diagrams or photographs to help illustrate your points. Useful content can and should go beyond basic clip art to draw on the reader's imagination.
Avoid the use of technical jargon except where necessary. If you must use it, include links or definitions for uncommon words or industry terms.
Make sure that the color of the font contrasts with the background, and that the font color is much darker than the background color. For example, don't use a yellow font on a green background. Even if you make the letters big and bold, the readability of your text suffers.
Avoid making readers scroll across. People would much rather scroll down than scroll across, so make your text space adjustable to the reader's window size.

Warnings

Flashing text, marquees, animated gifs, rollover buttons and other effects serve to distract the reader from main text on the page. While they can be used in moderation, overuse of these features will irritate the user more than impress him/her.
Remember that you are writing for a reader who has no compulsion to go on reading the page.
BE NORMAL - It is better to avoid using Letters in upper case or all caps.
Write for the readers, search engines are bound to follow

How to Make a Website

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

A website is basically a collection of files that anybody can access through the Internet and view with a browser. There are endless possibilities for what you can put in those files and how you arrange the code that ties everything together. Your choices can make the difference between having a website that only you visit, and running website that's pulled up by people around the world. What follows is an overview of how you can develop your own little corner of Internet real estate.

Steps

Think of ideas for your new website. If you already know what you want to make your website about, skip this step. Otherwise, make note of those moments when you think to yourself "I wish there was a website that..." Whenever you see a friend with any kind of problem or frustration, try and think of a website that would help him/her. Looking for a tidbit of information or a unique product that's nowhere to be found? Brainstorm and write down all of your ideas, no matter how ridiculous they may seem. There's no better place than the Internet to turn a quirky idea into gold. You can also get help by searching the web with "website ideas".
Identify your market. What kinds of people would each of your website ideas serve? Some websites, like Yahoo or Google, are as general as it gets, while other sites, like ILoveAlpacas.com, serve a very specific bunch. Write down the target market next to each of the ideas on your list. Conduct market research--Who is your audience? What do they do? How old are they? What are their other interests? All of this information can help you make your website more useful.
Figure out your commitment. How much time and money are you willing to put into your website? You can start and run a website for free, but the more money you want to make from your site, the more time and money you'll have to invest. If you don't care too much about making money (like if you're just interested in showing off your dried bug collection) you can get away with free web hosting and sporadic maintenance.

Content sites will require less investment, but you will also face more competition, since anyone can start a content site. To make money from this kind of site, you provide information and generate income from the traffic you receive through advertising.
E-commerce sites, which sell products, will need more maintenance and attention. You will also need to think about shipping, sales tax, order form security, inventory updates, and everything that a person with an offline storefront would have to manage.

Narrow down your list. Which ideas stand to make the most profits? Which ideas require the most commitment? Which ideas look like they'd be fun to pursue? You will be spending time working on your website, so choose the idea you are most passionate about (that is also profitable and practical for you).
Register a domain name (one that's easy to remember and spell) and choose a web host. For more complicated websites, be willing to shell out the extra bucks; or, you can opt for a free web hosting, which will probably mean having a URL like www.yourdomain.webhostname.com and ads plastered all over your webpage. Read the fine print.
Build your website. Here you have a few different options.

Get a website-building program and do it yourself. While this might work for your dried bug page, if you are unsure of your design eye and ability, then it's probably not the best choice if you're trying to make a sharp, professional impression (especially if you're trying to get people to part with their money).
Learn a programming language (or two, or three) and build a website from scratch.

HTML is incredibly easy to learn, and if you're up to it, you'll be able to tweak your web design any way you want, and you won't have to pay anybody else to update or change your site.
XHTML is the new web language set by W3C's standards. Almost identical to HTML, it follows a stricter set of rules for marking up information - what this means, for the most part, is minor changes to the way you write code.
CSS, which stands for "Cascading Style Sheets", gives more flexibility for styling the HTML.
A browser sided scripting language, such as JavaScript, allows you to make your page interactive.
A server sided scripting language (PHP, ASP with JavaScript or VB Script or Python) can be used to make things on your site move and edit or create forums.
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technique of using a browser sided language and a server sided language to make the page get new information from the server without refreshing the page, greatly reducing bandwidth usage and vastly improving the user's experience. Think of the possibilities: you could probably make a web based instant messaging service!

Hire a professional. This is the best option for more advanced sites, especially e-commerce sites.

Use keywords that your target audience would search for to get a better search engine ranking. There are several tools available from Google, Overture, and third party software developers that can make the keyword research process easier. Sprinkle the keywords you've chosen throughout your text, but not to the extent that it hurts the quality of your content.
Upload your website. Your web host may have an FTP feature, or you can download your own FTP program. If you hired a professional to design the website, he or she may take care of this for you.
Test drive your website. When you finish your website, do usability testing. You can do this by simply asking a few friends or family members to use your website. Give them a specific task like "edit your profile" or "buy an alpaca sweater from the bargains page." Sit behind them and watch them navigate. Do not help them. You will likely find areas where you need to improve navigation or clarify some instructions.
Advertise. Submit your site to major search engines. Tell your friends. Use an e-mail address with your domain. Visit other websites that complement (not compete with) yours, and offer to exchange links. Post constructively on blogs and forums, and put your URL in your signature.
Provide quality content and service. This is what will ultimately make your website awesome. Be sensitive to feedback - take it seriously. Think about your target market: their needs, their frustrations, their circumstances, and seek to make their lives easier. Strive for a win-win situation for you and your visitors.

Tips

Before beginning to read a tutorial, make sure it's the best of the best; you don't want to find half way through that the tutorial's flawed or putting you to sleep. You don't want to have to read the same content over again in a good tutorial, do you? So look into lots of search engine results before picking your tutorial!
Stick with simple things, practice them and then advance, even if what you create is not very impressive at the time; don't attempt to rush through the tutorials in one. You need to understand them very well, so take your time and test things out. If you wonder whether or not something will work, don't suppress the urge, but find out.
People are in a hurry. This means that you have between 10 and 30 seconds to capture your visitor's attention. To minimize your load time, keep graphics small. Compress them where possible. Use flashy technology JavaScript, Flash, Streaming Audio/Video, etc. sparingly and only if it is important to your presentation.
If you intend to sell products on your website, you'll need to be able to accept secure credit card payments. You can apply for a merchant account, which charges a per-transaction fee, or use a free payment service like PayPal.
Find popular websites, even if they don't have much to do with yours, and use them as models. What are they doing right? Incorporate what you learn from the big shots into your own website. Don't be a copycat, but don't re-invent the wheel.
If you hire a professional to code a complicated site, remember that programmers are not all graphic designers. The most eye-catching sites out there have been made by or with the input of someone involved in graphic design.

Warnings

Never violate your visitors' trust. Respect their privacy. Spam, annoying pop-ups, and irrelevant ads will hurt your credibility. A clear privacy statement is one way to build your credibility. Provide a prominent link to your privacy statement from every page on the site as well as from any location that you are asking your visitors for personal information. Provide legitimate contact information online. If you need to use ads on your website, explain to your visitors why, and show them that you're doing your best to accommodate their visit. And mean it!
Remember, never delete the details (username, password, etc.) of your account. If you don't have the details when you forget them, you will not be able to work on your website again. More importantly, never give out your details (except for your website address).
If you use something from another website, be it a picture, a JavaScript, or whatever, get permission and give them credit for it. If you don't, they might sue you.

How to Start a Blog

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

A "blog", abbreviated word for weblog, is a web-based journal in which people can publish their thoughts and opinions on the Internet. Anyone can start a blog. It's straight-forward and, in a lot of cases, free.

Steps

Find a decent blogging provider that appeals to you. Some may include MuseCrafters.com, Livejournal.com, JournalHome.com, Blogger,ChoseIt, WordPress.com , TheDiary.org, Mindsay.com, Blog.com, Blogagotchi.com, Diaryland.com, Blogdrive.com, weebly.com or Xanga.com. Most of these sites are pre-made with templates and push-button publishing that don't require much technical know-how.
Once you sign up, you'll have a gallery of ready-made templates to choose from. With these, you can pick a color scheme and layout for your blog.

Most sites come with a set of predefined layouts and schemes that you can choose from. Select one and personalize it. Then add your name, interests, images, etc.
If you want to, get a more unique template, there are some sites up that have many of these that might make it look better. For example, PimpMyProfile.com or Pyzam.com.

Add blogging freebies like buttons, images, blog chalks, imoods, tagboards (for example, myshoutbox.com), guest maps, guestbooks, comment boxes for readers' input, etc.
Explore other blog sites that offer more features for a small fee, such as Typepad.com and ChoseIt.
Decide on whether or not you want your blog to be private or public: do you want any Internet visitor to be able to read your blog, or do you just want your friends and family to be able to read it? Most blog sites offer the ability to password-protect your published posts so only those who you approve of can view what you've written.
After you've set up your blog, write a few posts to test it out, and make any adjustments to the layout or style that you see fit. Like if you just got a new template, you'd check your blog to see if you like it, right? At first, it will seem tough to figure out what to write, but once you get into a routine of daily blogging, you will find it addictive. Write about your day, your thoughts, events, ideas, fears, pleasures, the news, current affairs, art, or anything you are interested in!
Visit other blogs to build a blogging circle. When you leave comments, add your blogging address so they can visit you too. (Note: This will not work if your blog is private)
Publish your blog by sending the URL to your friends or publish the URL on your website. Add the URL to posts you make on other blogs. Done

Tips

If you update your blog frequently, more people will return on a regular basis to read it. Establishing a reader base will motivate you to write more and in turn more people will read your posts.
Get into a routine of blogging. Make it part of your day. Soon, you will notice things during your day and think, "Hey, I'll blog this."
Personalize your blog. A pretty blog always catches the eye. Visit blogger.com for ideas; they have a list of their 10 most recently updated blogs.
You could Google for "blog California" or "blog Shakespeareans" (or anything else), depending on location, interests, etc. For instance, if you have a blog on lawns, you may want visit allaboutlawns.com's forum and other similar type blogs. Circles of interest are the essence of blogging, and it can start to develop you as an authority in the "blog-o-sphere" on lawns or whatever area of interest you choose.
Keep the posts interesting. Try to avoid focusing on things that most readers won't find worthwhile (such as "I went to the mall today and saw Kelly.") Write about things you noticed, thoughts you had, and feelings or ideas. Blog about a recent trip to Spain. Write about the chemical explosion during class.
Spell check your writing before posting.
Some sites allow you to make money off your blog by using an Amazon Associates ID or by placing Google AdSense advertisements. If popular enough, your blog could start to pay your bills.
Don't feel bogged down if no one visits your site for the first few months. As with communities this large, it will take some time for your blog to get noticed.
Find blog aggregators. They will place a link to your site on their webpage and/or have a feed running from your blog so that every time you post something, it will show up on the blog aggregator homepage. Also, this can help increase readership.
If you want a broad (international) readership, do not use too many abbreviations or slang terms that might not be easily understood by people who are not from your country/area.
Get interesting news from Yahoo Oddly Enough..., other Yahoo! stories, Crayon.net and other websites that you frequently read.
Blog on a specific subject. You can't please everyone, so target a specific audience and go with it.
See also How to Write a Famous Blog.
Pictures are also a great idea.

Warnings

Avoid posting anything on your blog that might be personal to other people if just anyone can read your blog (example: Your uncle might object that it's published on the Internet that he is an alcoholic). If something is personal, avoid using last names at the very least, or make up a name for that person. Be wary of unwarranted attention. Blogs are for the world to read. If you want a private blog just for friends, use Xanga or any other password-protected blogging site.
Xanga and MySpace are good for beginners, but for more public blogs, sites like Typepad and Blogger are much more "respected".
Be wary of unwarranted attention. Blog stalking is possible; don't give out too much personal information such as name, location, school, etc.
Be prepared for some nasty comments and/or e-mails if you are blogging about "touchy" items, such as bad leadership in a school system, rumors about an official or local government. As long as the messages do not threaten bodily harm, you should be safe.
Always back up your commentary with reliable sources, and keep the sources varied (i.e. wikipedia isn't a good source and don't just quote from one newspaper).
Read the small print. If you don't, your blog's content may be "owned" by the company that puts it on the web for you.
Don't make your blogs like MySpace bulletins (adding random posts to suck in friends) and don't include your friend's name or websites in them either.
Write ins ands outs people love them!

Things You'll Need

A computer
A site to start your blog on

Willingness to keep up your blog

How to Get Your Websites Forum off the Ground

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Having a forum on your website is great for giving your visitors a reason to come back to your site, but how do you get people to join your forum in the first place? The majority of webusers will simply not take the time to register in a forum that has a few user accounts and threads. One of the best ways to get a new forum off of the ground is to pay a forum posting service to come in and create new user accounts and discussion threads.

Steps

Lay out a plan for your forum. You want to know what your forum's theme will be. Going into a website blind with no idea of what it will be like is pointless. Yes, experimenting is a good idea but having a solid plan up front will prevent a lot of problems when you decide to get it setup.
Select a forum software. Having a forum software (or backbone) is the key essential to a forum. Without it, all you will have is a plan, and a hosting account. There are many different types of software out there written in different coding languages. Make sure you understand what your host supports and what your software will require. MySQL and PHP are the most common requirements. Some free choices, are SMF and PHPBB. A paid choice is vBulletin.
Find a host. Search around the internet to find a good solid host. Of course paid hosts are better but using a free host in the beginning will allow you to see what you are getting into.
Upload the forum software to your hosting account. When you apply for a host you will recieve your hosting accounts information which will include (MySQL link, username, and password; FTP link, username, and password; account username, and password; and a link to your CPanel). When you are ready to upload, you will need a FTP program (FileZilla and SmartFTP are good examples). Open the FTP program and drag and drop into the public HTML folder. The folders name will vary so ask your host what folder to upload to unless you know what folder it is. To customize the URL, while in the FTP program (before you upload everything) create a forum inside the public HTML folder and call it forum, or forums, pretty much anything you want to call it.
Create a database. Log into your CPanel (using your account name and password) go to the section named databases or MySQL databases. Make a database. Make it with a short name (i.e. forumdb). Your hosting account name will usually come in front of the database's name (i.e. b18_999999_forumdb). You will need this in the step below.
Install the forum software. Visit the URL of the forum and an install prompt will be present (if everything went as planned. If it is not present, troubleshoot and if all else fails, contact your forum software company). When you begin the installation, you will need your MySQL database information. Enter your MySQL database information and proceed to the next step. Depending on your forum software, the steps may differ (it will usually guide you through the process). Usually 1-2 steps later you will be asked to make an admin account (YOUR ACCOUNT). Give it a name (custom) and a password (custom) as well as an e-mail. When this is done, it may either begin to install all the MySQL tables or your installation may be finished. Like it says above, it differs from software to software. When you are done, be sure to delete the install.php file (via FTP). The installation may delete it automatically. If you forget to delete it, it poses a risk to your forum security.
Give it a color scheme. In this step, you can make your own theme (if you have knowledge in XML, CSS, and Graphics) or you can download a free or paid theme. When you obtain a skin (as they are called) you may have to upload it via FTP or via your forums Admin CP. Like the step above, it differs from software to software.
Begin the construction. At this time, begin the building process. This will require the addition of categories and individual Forums and Sub-Forums. categories come first, then forums, then sub-forums. It is up to you to decide the names of categories and forums as well as their content.
Make your rules. Be it global forum rules, or rules specifically designed for a certain section, make the rules so that the forum can be used effectively and to minimize spam (a major culprit on forums).
Hire some staff members. When starting off, one to two admins (including yourself) will be all that you need for administrators. Look for people who are interested in a Global/Super Moderator position and if they don't want that much responsibility, offer them a Moderator position. It is recommended that these people are trustworthy.
Make membergroups. Make forum member groups so that you can organize your members. The most common are Administrator, Global/Super Moderator, Moderator, Member, and Banned. Most software allow unlimited membergroups but too many can make organization confusing, tedious, and time consuming.
Add your mods/add-ons. You should specify which mods you would like to have (chatbox, Captcha system, Top Stats, etc.). Like before, installation of these mods will differ.
Make some graphics. Most new forums make an affiliate icon, a userbar, as well as a banner to help with advertising. Making these is fairly simple. Google for some tutorials.
Have fun. Yes, starting off you will be stressed and worried. Don't get mad or upset if your forum is inactive after the first month, projects like this take time to get setup as well as to form a member base.

Tips

Advertise your forum. Google sites that do free advertising. It can be as simple as saying, "Hey, I just made a new forum, check it out and join if your interested," or you can make an in depth post discussing what your forum offers and what members can do.
Tell your friends. Pretty self explanatory.
Keep up to date with your forum software edition/version as well as the versions/editions of your mods and themes as they may become obsolete/not functional and/or may cause your forum to become unstable.
Make regular backups of your forums database. You never know when your host's servers may crash or get fried by lightening.
Regularly change your administrator password so that its extremely difficult for vandals/hackers to get access to your account and mess with your forum.
Host contests. Have a fun contest. Like a referral contest or a posting contest. Even a graphics contest will work.
Don't be afraid to enforce the law, well in this case rules if someone violates a rule(s).
Promote members when you feel the time is right.

Warnings

Don't vary your forums theme. Doing this can turn off members and make them leave and/or it could turn off potential members interested. Doing this has its ups and downs. Don't do it unless you must or your community agrees to your choice.
STAY UP TO DATE WITH YOUR FORUMS VERSION/EDITION/RELEASE! New releases have bug fixes as well as security updates and a handful of new features.
Making a professional based forum can be expensive, up to $300 US for a starting package. If you are not willing to pay that much or don't have the money on hand for it, don't do it. Make a free forum on a free host until you get the cash to make a professional one.
Read and stay up to date with the license information that your forums software follows.
Stay up to date with your hosts Terms of Service (ToS). Violation of their ToS could result in forum deletion as well as account removal and no refunds are given. You must enforce the law/rules if you are hosting it. You could face the consequences if you don't.
NO PIRATED SOFTWARE!!! Using pirated software is illegal and depending on where you live could/can result in you being arrested, fined for loads of money as well as time in jail. DON'T DO IT!!!
Regularly look at your accounts statistics. Make sure you forum isn't breaking your bandwidth or storage limits set by your host. Doing so could/can result in fines as well as charges for the extra bandwidth/storage and/or may result in the deletion of your board and/or account without notice. Most of the time, they will deactivate your hosting account til the next month rolls around and/or charge you for the extra bandwidth that your account used.

How to Dig up the Truth About a Web Host

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

You have been bitten many times before by web hosting companies that promised you the sky but could not give you a decent service. You are now wary of any new web hosting offers that are mushrooming on the internet every day. You do not want to be cheated again. It is understandable. Here are some tips on how to dig up the truth about any web hosting company before you fork out even a single cent.

Steps

Create a list of the features that you require in a web host, as well as those that you may require in the near future.
Go web host shopping - use your favourite search engine to look for web hosts that offer the features you have listed, at a budget comfortable for you.
Bookmark as many web hosts as you can, ideally those with very close and competitive plans that you need for your web hosting account.
Collect the technical support email addresses of these web hosts. If they use a customer help desk system, register and bookmark the help desk URLs as well.
Begin by testing the efficiency of their customer support services. Before you do this, prepare a list of questions, concerns and issues that you need addressing when you have a web hosting account. Write as many questions as possible.
Start posing your questions to all the web hosting companies' customer support emails or help desks, one question at a time and wait for their replies. Gauge how quickly they respond to your query.
Once the first question has been answered, proceed with the second question, posing it to all the web hosts you have listed. Repeat this process indefinitely.

Tips

Go to Google or your favourite search engine and look this phrase up: "Name of Web Hosting Company reviews". However, keep in mind a lot of these "web hosting review" sites have biased reviews, as they are mostly affiliates who are paid to write about the best financially paying host rather then the best host for you. Always question the motives of the reviewer. Is it money-motivated or is the reviewer actually looking out for your best needs. You are sure to hit upon a number of sites that give user reviews of said web hosting company.
You can also search this phrase: "Name of Web Hosting Company sucks". This will yield a list of sites, blog posts and other rants that have a negative review of the particular web hosting company you are intending to sign up with.
Read and absorb everything there is about the web host, both the good and the bad, and judge for yourself.
Scour the web hosting forums and get the opinions of others concerning the particular web hosting company you are reviewing.

Warnings

Do not be tempted by dirt cheap deals. Price is often an illusion when it comes to the web hosting industry. You are better off paying a little more for a web host that offers much less space but is reputed and has a proven track record for stability and excellent customer service, than paying only a single digit monthly fee for one that offers gigabytes of space and bandwidth but is wanting in terms of service and server stability.
Apply the same discretion when scouting for good domain registrars. Your domain registrar is just as important and crucial to your webmaster life as your web host.

Things You'll Need

Good search engine skills
A ruthlessly discerning, critical mind
Good 'arm-wringing' skills
