In this article, proper web safety is discussed as well as techniques for ensuring protection of your computer.<br /><br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Be sure you're on a reputable site. Look at the URL bar on the top of the browser window, and be sure that the address displayed coincides with the page that you're on. Pay close attention to the beginning of the address, the part between the http:// and the .com/.org/.edu. If the name matches the page, you may be safe.<br /></li><li>Check the file you recieve is not an exe file, if you are downloading music or images<br /></li><li>Use a spyware/malware detection program, such as <a class="external text" title="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=" href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&amp;displaylang=en" rel="nofollow" displaylang="en">Windows Defender</a> or <a class="external text" title="http://www.siteadvisor.com/" href="http://www.siteadvisor.com/" rel="nofollow">McAfee Site Advisor</a>. If you do happen to download something that is unsafe, a program such as this will help identify it and possibly aid in its removal.<br /></li><li>Use common sense. If a program has features that seem too good to be true, chances are, they are. One of the most prominent examples today are the Myspace Trackers that keep popping up everywhere.

You can easily accelerate your downloads by following the directions.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Close any Internet using programs you do not need, so close any kind of P2P program (unless this is how you're downloading); Internet browser; streaming media; messengers; and games like WOW, America's Army, or any other multiplayer online games. This will increase the available incoming traffic you have.<br /></li><li>Make sure your firewalls are not blocking the program and that the port is open. (See below.)<br /></li><li>Get a download manager. Some of them are actually faster than the download speed you see when using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox (see below for a good download manager).<br /></li><li>Get a faster internet connection. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>This tip does not apply if you are running single computer over a network connection.<br /></li><li>If someone else on your network is doing a massive download, or similar to above they will affect your speed as well. Kindly ask them to stop, pause, or slowdown/limit there downloading. (Or just wait until they are done.)<br /></li><li>Also, keep in mind that downloading from servers near you is generally faster but not always. If you are in prime hours in your area, look for a mirror server farther away where most people are likely to be asleep. The server loads will usually be less and your downloads faster. </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>If you do not have permission to unblock ports then don't!<br /></li><li>All websites have upload speeds governed by their providers. Don't expect to get 500mb/s from a site whose max upload is only 300kb/s, as you will only get its max upload speed at best. So don't call your ISP due to slow downloads if it is the fault of the site you're downloading from, because your ISP doesn't have control over that. </li></ul><h2>Things You'll Need </h2><ul><li>Admin access to the router if needed<br /></li><li>Computer<br /></li><li>Internet connection<br /><a name="Related_wikiHows"></a></li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Set up Port Forwarding on a Router" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Port-Forwarding-on-a-Router">How to Set up Port Forwarding on a Router</a><br /></li><li><a title="Optimize Soulseek for Downloading Music" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Optimize-Soulseek-for-Downloading-Music">How to Optimize Soulseek for Downloading Music</a><br /></li><li><a title="Download Safely" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Download-Safely">How to Download Safely</a><br /></li><li><a title="Download Winamp for Mac" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Download-Winamp-for-Mac">How to Download Winamp for Mac</a><br /><a name="Sources_and_Citations"></a></li></ul><h2>Sources and Citations </h2><ul><li><a class="external free" title="http://www.freedownloadmanager.org" href="http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.freedownloadmanager.org</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a wiki how-to manual.

They are planning to introduce the device in response to growing pressure from European Union regulators.<br /><br />EU Industry Commissioner Guenter Verheugen said last week that with over 30 different kinds of chargers in use across the 27-nation European Union, his "patience is now at an end."<br /><br />Handset-makers like Nokia had long resisted developing a universal charger in the past because of compatibility and legal problems. Introducing a one-size-fits-all charger would help them cut costs since in future new handsets would no longer necessarily need to be sold with a charger. It would also enable firms to bolster their green credentials since the planned new charger, which works using a micro USB socket in the handset, uses less electricity than current models. - <span style="color:#66ffff;">AFP </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;">Courtesy: The Hindu, Madurai, February 17, 2009.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#33ff33;"><em>Grateful thanks to AFP and The Hindu.</em></span></span></strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8211031709118487569-1964250741601346209?l=surisdigitalworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SURIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03527061036825349877noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211031709118487569.post-74463775762178230892009-02-19T11:07:00.000+05:302009-02-19T11:21:37.293+05:30<div align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">BSNL Chennai is launching shortly IPTV (Internet Protocol Television).

Most of the major search engines utilize an algorithm to determine where a website ranks. The search engines have set up specific criteria that a website must meet to get to the top of the list. The criteria are different for every engine, but all engines share several commonalities. It all boils down to the type and amount of content provided on a given website, the level of optimization done on the site, and the popularity of the website (link popularity/PageRank). Tailoring your website for improved search engine rankings is also known widely as <b>search engine optimization,</b> or SEO.<br /><br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Research the keywords. Decide what search queries you want to show up for. Do some research on how many people are actually searching for your site. Many times it is best to consult a "natural search engine optimization" professional during this process. There are several tools available from Google, Overture, and third party software developers that can make the keyword research process easier.<br /></li><li>Think outside of the box. Don't just focus on your main keywords. The first thing to realize when targeting keywords is that it is not all about ranking for the most popular keyword. The most successful search engine marketing and optimization campaigns target the most <b>relevant</b> keywords. For example, if you are a realtor in a particular area, don’t just optimize your site for “real estate." Optimize your site for dentist, florist, movie theaters, etc. You would be amazed how many unique visitors will come through to your site when "outside of the box" thinking occurs.<br /></li><li>Focus on the end user. If you spend too much time trying to please the Search Engine Spiders, you may forget about the end user. Think about what your target market needs to accomplish their goals, and then put it on your site so that they can find it. The phrase "content is king" was born about 6 years ago, and it still holds true today. If you want to be relevant for specific keywords, than you need superior or at least highly competitive content. Write about 225-300 words of copy for each keyword and plant it on your site each day. Grow, grow, and grow. On average, one can target between 3-5 like keyword phrases per page. Make it as natural as possible and the Search Engines will reward you with a first-page ranking.<br /></li><li>Make sure that all the pages of the site have custom titles and descriptions. If your site is using the same tags for all the pages, you are not helping search engines figure out the subject or relevance of your individual pages. Regarding Meta Tags, there are 2 very important fields:<br /></li><ul><li>Title Tag - arguably the most important SEO tag for any website. Google supports approx. 60 characters in the title, while Yahoo allows for up to 110 characters in the title. It is important to target the most critical keywords in the Title. Every page should have a unique Title.<br /></li><li>META Description Tag - also very important for every page on the site. Some engines do display the description defined, while others do not. All search engines do read the description tag, and do utilize the content found within in the ranking process. A good rule of thumb is to create descriptions that do not exceed 200-250 characters. The META keyword Tag is essentially useless in today's SEO market, but is oftentimes good to utilize as a placeholder for the keywords targeted.<br /></li></ul><li>Keep the structure, navigation and URL structure of your site simple enough for search engines to follow. Remember that search engines cannot parse your navigation if it's using flash or javascript. So try to stay close to standard HTML when it comes to Navigation. URLs with dynamic parameters (?, &amp;, SIDs) usually do not perform when it comes to search engine rankings.<br /></li><li>Create a site map that tells people where everything is on your site. You will get about a 1% click through rate to your site map. However, it will do wonders for those who know what site maps do, and the Search Engines will like it as well.<br /></li><li>Build up your popularity. So now you have determined the right keywords on the right pages, you've created all of the necessary content, and you've optimized all of the content to the best of your capabilities. Congratulations - you're now in the top 80th percentile (from an optimization standpoint) of the websites listed for the keywords you're trying to target. So how do you get a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd page listing? The answer is quite simple: You have to be the most popular, too. That's right, it's a popularity contest. In other words, how many other websites know you (link to you), and how popular are they? This is typically referred to as link popularity, or called PageRank by Google. The more sites that link to your site the better, and the more popular the site linking to you the more value you will receive for your link popularity. The best types of "link building" are directory registration, text link advertising, and press release distribution. Try to offer valuable information or tools so that other people are motivated to link to your site. Well-linked sites (that don't use spamming) do better in search engines. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>Search engine algorithms assess the relevance of your page to any particular keyword by the content on your pages. For instance if you are selling "widgety widgets" on your site and you do not mention "widgety widgets" on your page text, search engines have very little to work with. Also make sure that you are not spamming search engines by using the same keyword over and over.<br /></li><li>Although not as important as they used to be, reciprocal links do still matter with Google. Reciprocate with similar websites and include keywords near the links on your site.<br /></li><li>If you want to optimize well for your city, state etc., make sure to sprinkle geographic search terms throughout. Include it in text as well as set apart. Search engines do not know where you are unless you tell them.<br /></li><li>Bold and italics can make your keywords stand out more with the search engines.<br /></li><li>Interior links within your site will improve SEO; Sitemaps are a great way to generate internal links and make your website better too!<br /></li><li>Correct broken links, search engines do not like dead ends.<br /></li><li>If you have over 30 keywords that mean business to you, then you might want to hire a Professional Search Engine Copywriting firm or outsource it to freelancers.<br /></li><li>Anyone who can go to google and type in "keyword research" will find very many tools that mixed with common sense should suffice quite well.<br /></li><li>Now when digging deeper to understand the traffic patterns of certain keywords use Wordtracker’s GTrends Tool. You can get an idea on the amount of competition on Google compared to the amount of searches. Now these numbers are far from accurate, BUTTT if you can kind of step back and take a broader look at things, don’t worry so much about the numbers but compare the trends since it shows the past history. See if its steady traffic, traffic that is going extinct, or traffic just starting to peak. By using this tool, you can many times find some golden opportunities.<br /></li><li>It really comes down to just using common sense. Just sit down and think, "What would other people search to find this? What would I search for to find this?" Try phrases in your keyword research tool to get new ideas and find the higher trafficked most targeted phrases. DO NOT look at the numbers spat back out at you by these programs as accurate numbers, they rarely are. You can still use these tools to get ideas on new keywords, search patterns of users, and many other things, that mixed with the information of trends in that area, can really help you. </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>If you are going to use freelancers, beware of duplicate content. Always make sure to check the content that you get by searching for the content on Google, Yahoo, and MSN.<br /></li><li>Never have hyperlinks like "click here", hyperlinks should always be keywords, long hyperlinks with multiple keywords are even better.<br /></li><li>Don't hide content.<br /></li><li>Don't create duplicate websites.<br /></li><li>Remember that if you use black-hat SEO techniques, you run the risk of getting penalized by the search engines and having your web site permanently removed from their index. </li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Increase Website Traffic" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Website-Traffic">How to Increase Website Traffic</a><br /></li><li><a title="Create a Sitemap" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Sitemap">How to Create a Sitemap</a><br /></li><li><a class="mw-redirect" title="Get the Quickest and Most Accurate Results on Search Engines" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-the-Quickest-and-Most-Accurate-Results-on-Search-Engines">How to Get the Quickest and Most Accurate Results on Search Engines</a><br /></li><li><a class="mw-redirect" title="Create a Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Website">How to Create a Website</a><br /></li><li><a class="mw-redirect" title="Block a Website in Internet Explorer" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Block-a-Website-in-Internet-Explorer">How to Block a Website in Internet Explorer</a> </li></ul><h2>Sources and Citations </h2><ul><li><a class="external text" title="http://trevornashkeller.com/ppc/keyword-research-101" href="http://trevornashkeller.com/ppc/keyword-research-101" rel="nofollow">Keyword Research 101</a><br /></li><li><a class="external text" title="http://keyworddiscovery.com/search.html" href="http://keyworddiscovery.com/search.html" rel="nofollow">Keyword Discovery</a><br /></li><li><a class="external text" title="http://www.antonaf.com/articles/key-to-successful-link-building/" href="http://www.antonaf.com/articles/key-to-successful-link-building/" rel="nofollow">Link Building 101 :: The Key to Successful Link Building</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a wiki how-to manual.

It appears to be a simple question; the answer, however, isn't as easy as you'd like (if it was, everyone would be at the top of search results, and we know that's impossible). This is a list of 5 free tips for getting your blog to appear at the top of search results.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Update your blog – daily. So to begin - you must be serious about your blog. Update it at least 3-4 times a week, preferably once a day.<br /></li><li>Write clean, precise, and accurately. This includes grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The next step is very important: write clean, precise, and accurate blogs. How do you do that? You learned this in junior high - use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation etc, but go beyond that - create your own voice, one that commands respect and one people will turn to for whatever it is that you provide.<br /></li><li>Provide a consistent ‘product’ for your audience that they want to come back to. That leads me to the next step: provide something for your audience. It can be entertainment, advice, riddles, jokes, laughs, just about anything - but be consistent. If you're predominantly positive, then one day you spew negativity and rant about something, be aware that you might be turning off regular readers of your blog.<br /></li><li>Promotion! How do you promote your blog? Link your blog to as many sites and blogs as you can. Search engines, like Google, track this networking through an always changing, mathematical algorithm. So it's simple, post comments on other sites and blogs and sign off with your blogs 'address'. Contact site administrators and ask to post a link to your blog on their site (this will happen more frequently if your blog is relevant, and useful!). Part of promotion is registering your site with search engines. It may take some time once you register for the search engine ‘people’ to review your site or blog, but once they have, you will start appearing on search results. They look for keywords, relevance, etc. The two biggest search engines are Google and Yahoo.<br /></li><li>Keywords: use popular keywords that are relevant and can be used in the context of your article. Use them often in your article, and in the title of your blog! This is somewhat complicated because people use keywords to search for what they need differently. Some keywords are searched for more often than others. Only use keywords in the context of your article, and make sure they are relevant, or else you can be ‘black-listed’ by search engines for spamming. With that in mind, use the keywords frequently in your article. Let’s say my keyword is "How‿", use it about 10 times throughout the article you write, but again, use it only in context and not just to use it. How do keywords help? Search engines scan your article for these keywords. The more often you have used them, and the more relevant they are, the more they appear on searches. Remember, you appear at the top of search results because advertisers are willing to pay the search engine for advertising on your site. If it’s not relevant, or it’s a worthless laundry list of keywords, you’ll be spotted right away. And finally, use these keywords in the title of your blog entry!<br /></li><li>Use photos! If someone is searching for a photo, and your blog has keywords from their search, your photo will come up in the search. If they are interested in the photo, they may click on it to enlarge it or get more information. If they do this, and if they are searching using Google or Yahoo, then they will get taken directly to your blog. Free promotion! </li></ol><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>Remember this isn’t easy work – you must be serious about it, and your blog. Promoting will take the most time and effort, but that’s what helps the most. Theirs is only one wrong way to promoting and marketing – Not promoting or marketing. There is no right way, just do it the best you know how, and you’ll see a difference.<br /></li><li>Also, try not to post your URL on other people's blogs too much. Not only is it annoying, it also seems kind of desperate. </li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Market Your Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Market-Your-Website">How to Market Your Website</a><br /></li><li><a title="Market Affiliate Products Online" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Market-Affiliate-Products-Online">How to Market Affiliate Products Online</a><br /></li><li><a title="Increase Website Traffic" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Website-Traffic">How to Increase Website Traffic</a><br /></li><li><a title="Get Your Website Indexed in 7 Days or Less" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Your-Website-Indexed-in-7-Days-or-Less">How to Get Your Website Indexed in 7 Days or Less</a><br /></li><li><a title="Improve Search Engine Ranking" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Search-Engine-Ranking">How to Improve Search Engine Ranking</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a wiki how-to manual.

A primer on information architecture, layering and all the other things that will help people read the words you put on the page. This is not a how-to on using desktop publishing software.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Open a desktop publishing program. Quark XPress and Adobe InDesign are the most popular. Much design is done on Macs, but that's not always the case. And now, with Boot Camp, that line is sure to get blurred even further. Anyway, Quark or InDesign are the most professional, most flexible publishing programs. Are you on a broadsheet or a tabloid? Or an 8 1/2 x 11? Good news is, design principles apply to <i>every</i> page size. There are some small differences, but not many.<br /></li><li>Organize. Plan your content. What is the most important story? The next? The next after that?<br /></li><li>Consider your "art."<br /></li><li>Know -- and use -- a grid. 5 columns. 6 columns. 4 columns. Mind you, a 10 column grid is really a 5 column grid that allows for 1/2 columns, and a 12 column grid is 6 columns with 1/2 column slots. 1/2 columns can be useful for running information boxes, mug shots, etc.<br /></li><li>Keep the design <i>on</i> the grid. What does this mean? For example, on a 6 column grid, run a story over 3 columns and another story over 2 and a story over 1.<br /></li><li>Think about the centerpiece. What is the dominant story the grid -- either through rules (thin, usually .5pt black lines) or through images or logos or boxes. The centerpiece is an anchor.<br /></li><li>Create a dominant headline. Consider 60pt, even 70pt, but probably no less than 52pt for the most important story. The hierarchy of story headlines should be at least 6pt difference. If the biggest story is 52pt, the next highest should be 48, 42, 36 and so on. Some consider 10pt, or 8pt to be preferable.<br /></li><li>Back to the photos -- dominant vs. secondary. Hopefully, a photo editor will make that call, but if not, what photo advances the story the best? Look for emotion, dynamics and movement, unusual angles and intense or intimate moments. Then play them big. Don't be afraid of, say, 4 columns wide on a 6 column grid. Huge? Yes. Worth it? Yes.<br /></li><li>If you have multiple photos, the second photo should not be greater than half the size of the dominant. If the main image is 4 columns wide, the secondary should be roughly 2. Maybe 2.5. Not 3. 1 Might be too small. Strong headline order + big photos = strong, basic page.<br /></li><li>Add layering. What is layering? See tips.<br /></li><li>Have someone else look at the page. A copy editor, for example, to proof the headlines and layers and body copy for, hopefully, minor errors like grammatical mistakes. You never know what factual errors may come up, and as a designer, its usually not your job to "proof" a story.<br /></li><li>Send the page to press. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>You'll be given stories to lay out. While you may not be responsible for "proofreading" them for grammar, you had better be sure to read them. You will be able to add context and information -- your design will be more informed. This is critical: newspaper design is an architectural thing, not really a paint-pretty-pictures thing.<br /></li><li>Avoid lumping photos in the ubiquitous, non-descriptive "art" category. Consider "photos" and "graphics." But many editors etc. do call it all "art."<br /></li><li>Grids allow a mass of empty newsprint to take on an organizing form.<br /></li><li>Headline hierarchy is essential to a well-organized page. Without it, how will a reader know what is important and what's not?<br /></li><li>Research respected publications and compare how they do layout, Often a proven method is what readers expect - this is a great source for <a class="external text" title="http://www.dailynewspapercovers" href="http://www.dailynewspapercovers/" rel="nofollow">Daily Newspaper Covers</a><br /></li><li>To layer: Add subheds, or "decks," or "dropheds." These are two three or four lines of additional display type -- 20-24 pt -- that add context to the hedline. You can run them 1 column deep, or on the other extreme, you can strip them all the way across a page. They allow readers to get a better grasp of the story while doing a lot less work than reading the whole story.<br /></li><li>Add infoboxes. Pull information out of the story and bullet-point it; bold key numbers and explain WHY these numbers are so important. Readers want information quickly; breaking it out for them is simply doing your job.<br /></li><li>Mug shots are good for identifying who the players in a story are. Mugs are small, 5p-6p-7p sized headshots. Crop tightly. Add a sentence or two giving context about who the mug-ee is and why they are being featured. Mugs run this way function as additional layering -- information pulled out, brought forward, thrust in front of the eyes of your readers. </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>Photoshop cutouts can be awesome -- they add a powerful dynamic to a page. But be very, very, very careful about how and when you apply this technique. Photoshopitis is common.<br /></li><li>You only really need one headline font. One body copy font. One infobox font. Maybe another variant for cutlines.

But what if you've never even started a newsletter before and need to just get off the ground? Here are some helpful things you can do to get started.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps</h2><ol><li>Define the goal of your newsletter. Are you doing it just for fun? To make money? To draw new visitors to your website? To advertise your products and services? To educate? To inform? The newsletter's purpose will influence how it's written and distributed.<br /></li><li>Identify the content you intend to print. What topic are you addressing, and how broad will your coverage of it be? Since newsletters come in various forms, there is a variety of subjects you can cover. Online newsletters can apply to online communities or groups, and print newsletters can apply to a company or town or a school.<br /></li><li>Identify the target audience. Who are they and what do they want to know? How will the newsletter serve them? If you are writing for teenagers, for example, make sure that your writing style is appropriate. If you are writing for a company, likewise, make sure your style is professional and applicable to the work environment.<br /></li><li>Determine your production schedule. You need to know how long it will take to write and edit content and set it up in the newsletter.<br /></li><li>Determine how many people you need to get started. At the onset, you probably won't have many people to help you. And in today's technologically-advanced world, you can probably handle most of it yourself. If your production schedule (from the previous step) is more frequent than every two weeks, you probably need at least 2-3 people to help you.<br /></li><li>Determine how your newsletter will be published. If it is online, make sure you have an email mailing list or a website to post the content. If it is printed, determine if you are mailing the newsletter or placing in a public location. Printed newsletter also require a printer of some sort, whether its your laserjet at home or a professional printer.<br /></li><li>Get working. The key to getting your newsletter off the ground is to actually get publishing. Whether online or in print, it's important that you stick to your production schedule. If you find that you have enough content and manpower to publish more frequently, make sure your readers understand the change up front. </li></ol><h2>Tips</h2><ul><li>Desktop publishing software has improved in leaps and bounds and can set up a pretty fancy newsletter. More advanced software can create online and print version of the same newsletter as well.<br /></li><li>Human beings love to laugh. It's best to include some fun, if not light-hearted information, stories, or even comics. </li></ul><h2>Warnings</h2><ul><li>Don't take yourself too seriously. A newsletter is a little different from a newspaper in that it doesn't have to follow various "unspoken" journalism rules nor does it require articles to be objective.<br /></li><li>It is <b>never</b> OK to take copyright material and republish it, even if you credit your original source. You must use copyrighted material with permission. That said, there are many public domain information firms out there that can give you interesting content for your newsletter. </li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Create a Professional Looking Newsletter" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Professional-Looking-Newsletter">How to Create a Professional Looking Newsletter</a><br /></li><li><a title="Design an Effective Newspaper or Newsletter" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Design-an-Effective-Newspaper-or-Newsletter">How to Design an Effective Newspaper or Newsletter</a><br /></li><li><a title="Make a Company/Organization Newsletter Interesting Yet Still Professional" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Company/Organization-Newsletter-Interesting-Yet-Still-Professional">How to Make a Company/Organization Newsletter Interesting Yet Still Professional</a><br /></li><li><a title="Write a Christmas Newsletter" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Christmas-Newsletter">How to Write a Christmas Newsletter</a><br /></li><li><a title="Write" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write">How to Write</a><br /></li><li><a title="Write Ads" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-Ads">How to Write Ads</a><br /></li><li><a title="Write a Letter" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Letter">How to Write a Letter</a><br /></li><li><a title="Write Articles" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-Articles">How to Write Articles</a><br /></li><li><a title="Write an Outline" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-an-Outline">How to Write an Outline</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a wiki how-to manual.

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.<br /><br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2>Lens Care<br /><br /><ol><li>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.<br /></li><li>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. </li></ol>Temperature<br /><br /><ol><li>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. </li></ol><p>Storage<br /></p><ol><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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. </li></ol>Protect Delicate Components<br /><br /> 1. You also need to protect those delicate components. In particular, watch out for the<br /> memory card (whether it is a CompactFlash, SD or MMC card). Handle them with care <br /> because they are small and delicate.<br /><br /> 2. Camera panels are also very delicate. In my Canon PowerShot S500, the panel for the USB<br /> connect and the battery is a tad flimsy. Make sure to handle it with care whenever you<br /> open it.<br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />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!<br /><br />Learn to Take Beautiful Photos<br /><ol><li>If you want to improve your <a title="Take a Digital Photo" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Digital-Photo">digital photography skills</a>, you may want to take a look at Digital Photography Success.

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.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><br /><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>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. </li><br /><li>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. </li><br /><li>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. </li><br /><li>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. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>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. </li></ul><h2>Things You'll Need </h2><ul><li>Photoshop, Digital camera </li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Organize Your Digital Photos" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Organize-Your-Digital-Photos">How to Organize Your Digital Photos</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a collaborative writing project to build the world's largest, highest quality how-to manual.

More softwares and features are being designed for them every day. Whether you have a top-of-the-range model or a low-end solution, digital cameras can do one-million-and-one things. Here are the most fun, easy, and effective things that anyone can do.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li><b>Shooting a video</b><br /></li><li>Plug the cable into the USB port.<br /></li><li>Open <b>Windows Movie Maker (WMM)</b> or another form of video software. There are many other packages such as PCCam, Quicktime, but I will demonstrate with WMM.<br /></li><li>Select <b>Capture from video device</b> on the left panel and follow the on-screen instructions. Then press <b>Start Capture</b> and record! Of course, press <b>Stop Capture</b> to end your session.<br /></li><li>To copy to DVD for playback on your television, access <b>My Documents</b> > <b>My Videos</b> and press <b>Copy all items to CD</b> after inserting a blank disc in the drive.<br /></li><li><b>Set up a webcam.</b><br /></li><li>Again, establish a connection from your digital camera to your PC.<br /></li><li>Open up MSN 6.0+ and click <b>Options</b> > <b>Webcam Settings</b>. Adjust the brightness, contrast, etc.<br /></li><li>Set up a conversation with one of your contacts and press the webcam icon below your display picture. This will initiate an invitation to view your webcam. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>Explore! There's so much out there on the Internet, you may even unlock a whole new world to your digital camera.<br /></li><li>Don't be afraid to try out new things, as long as it's approved of and you're using a quality accessory. For example, if you have a Bluetooth phone, install the hardware on your computer and access your photos on the PC!<br /></li><li><b>Always read the manual that is packaged with your camera.</b> They have lots of handy tips and tricks that you never thought you could possibly do with a gadget. </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>Make sure with any software you use that it is safe for your PC and your camera.

Or perhaps you thought you've taken the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Take a Great Photo" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Great-Photo">perfect picture</a>, except something in the background is distracting from the photo?Learn how to enhance your digital photos by blurring the background with <a title="Install GIMP" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Install-GIMP">GIMP</a> or Adobe Photoshop.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li><b>Use a graphic editing application</b> such as Photoshop, <a class="mw-redirect" title="Create Comic Tones With Jasc Paint Shop Pro" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-Comic-Tones-With-Jasc-Paint-Shop-Pro">Paint Shop Pro</a>, or <a title="Draw Something in GIMP" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-Something-in-GIMP">GIMP</a>.<br /></li><li><b>Open the image file</b>. Choose an image with a good resolution to blur the background.<br /></li><li><b>Determine which areas</b> 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 <a title="Calibrate Your Monitor" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Calibrate-Your-Monitor">monitor</a>. 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.<br /></li><li><b>Click and hold on the Lasso tool</b> (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.<br /></li><ul><li>If the Lasso tool is not visible in Photoshop, click on the "Window" menu and select "Tools".<br /></li><li>If the "Tool Options" toolbar is not visible in Photo Shop Pro, enable it from the "View" -> "Toolbars" menu.<br /></li></ul><li><b>Zoom in on the image</b> 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.<br /></li><li><b>Select the foreground</b>.<br /></li><ol><li>Click once with the Lasso tool to set a point.<br /></li><li>Move your cursor to the next point to make a line, then click again.<br /></li><li>Repeat until you have a somewhat accurate selection of the foreground.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li></ol><li><b>Use the studio quality method to create a professional result.</b> A faster method is described later in this article.<br /></li><ol><li>Copy the foreground selection by pressing Ctrl-C.<br /></li><li>Paste the foreground selection over top of the existing image.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>Select the entire image by pressing the Ctrl A keyboard shortcut, or using the "Select" menu and "All" command in Photoshop.<br /></li><li>Apply a "Blur More" filter to the selection. In Photoshop, select the "Filter" menu and choose "Blur" -> "Blur More".<br /></li><li>Repeat this Blur More command until you achieve the desired effect. In Photoshop, the Ctrl F keyboard shortcut will repeat the last filter command.<br /></li><li>Alternatively, use the "Gaussian Blur" effect instead and try different pixel radius values. This will give you a deeper control over the blur effect.<br /></li><li>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:<br /></li><ul><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li></ul><li>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.<br /></li><ol><li>Set the blur tool's strength to somewhere around 33%.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li></ol></ol><li><b>Use the "Quick &amp; Dirty" method if you're looking for something faster and easier</b>:<br /></li><ol><li>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.<br /></li><li>Apply a "Blur More" filter to the selection. In Photoshop, select the "Filter" menu and choose "Blur" -> "Blur More".<br /></li><li>Repeat this Blur More command until you achieve the desired effect. In Photoshop, the Ctrl F keyboard shortcut will repeat the last filter command.<br /></li><li>Alternatively, use the "Gaussian Blur" effect instead and try different pixel radius values. This will give you a deeper control over the blur effect.<br /></li></ol><li><b>Save your image</b> under a different name (to keep your <a title="Organize Your Digital Photos" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Organize-Your-Digital-Photos">original separate</a>) by using the "Save As..." option in the "File" menu.<br /></li><li><b>Share your new image</b> with friends and family! </li></ol><h2>Video </h2>This video features two ways of blurring the background of an image, plus a few tips.<br /><br /><a name="Tips"></a><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>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.<br /></li><li>Be very precise in outlining your foreground, especially when using the "Quick &amp; Dirty" method. Otherwise, your foreground will look choppy or it will also include part of the background that may be in focus as well.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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. </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>Make sure you do not save over your original file!

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 <a title="Increase Website Traffic for Free" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Website-Traffic-for-Free">How to Increase Website Traffic for Free</a>.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li><b>Offer free, original, and quality content on your site.</b> 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:<br /></li><ul><li>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 <i>need</i> to achieve a goal, solve a problem, be entertained, find out quality news or have a good laugh.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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 <a title="Write Articles" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-Articles">writing an article</a>. You may be impressed when you're done!<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li></ul><li><b><a title="Improve Search Engine Ranking" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Search-Engine-Ranking">Improve your search engine ranking</a> by focusing your content on keywords related to your topic.</b> This is called <i>search engine optimization</i> 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, <i>ask</i> 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.<br /></li><li><b>Get linked.</b> This is a very important part of website management. <a title="Exchange Links" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Exchange-Links">Exchange links.</a> 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 <b>dead on</b> topic, and truly help your visitors. Instead of trading links, you could also trade banner ads, half page ads, classified ads, etc.<br /></li><li><b>Advertise your presence.</b> 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:<br /></li><ul><li>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.<br /></li><li>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 <a title="Create One Way Backlinks to Your Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-One-Way-Backlinks-to-Your-Website">create one-way backlinks to your website</a>. 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.<br /></li><li>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 <i>Yellow Pages</i>™ - printed version naturally!<br /></li><li>Small business cards left in cafés, on signboards, exchanged at meetings etc.<br /></li><li>Use local resources such as clubs, libraries and community centers for non-profit website awareness raising.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li><a title="Start an Online Discussion Community" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Start-an-Online-Discussion-Community">Start your own online discussion community.</a> 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.<br /></li><li>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 <a class="mw-redirect" title="Run a Successful Guerrilla Marketing Program" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Run-a-Successful-Guerrilla-Marketing-Program">run a guerrilla marketing program</a>!<br /></li><li>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 <a title="Turn a Car Into a Moving Advertisement" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Turn-a-Car-Into-a-Moving-Advertisement">turn your car into a moving advertisement</a>, literally <i>driving</i> traffic to your web site!<br /></li></ul><li><b>Give freebies.</b> 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:<br /></li><ul><li>Giving away an <a title="Write Your First eBook" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-Your-First-eBook">eBook</a> 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;<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>Sending out free CD-Roms, CDs, DVDs etc. that contain starter packs or teasers to encourage the customer to use your site more.<br /></li><li>Offering free screensavers or templates for business cards, cards, writing paper etc., anything that a customer can print out.<br /></li></ul><li><b>Be patient.</b> 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. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>Start right here on wikiHow. Read up on <a title="Publicize Yourself the Right Way on wikiHow" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Publicize-Yourself-the-Right-Way-on-wikiHow">how to publicize your website on wikiHow without breaking the rules</a>. If you can provide quality content, you can create a win-win relationship where you share knowledge and get publicity in return. </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>Never, ever spam. Your credibility will be gone before you know it, and with it will go your traffic.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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. </li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Improve Search Engine Ranking" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Search-Engine-Ranking">How to Improve Search Engine Ranking</a><br /></li><li><a title="Create One Way Backlinks to Your Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-One-Way-Backlinks-to-Your-Website">How to Create One Way Backlinks to Your Website</a><br /></li><li><a title="Start an Online Discussion Community" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Start-an-Online-Discussion-Community">How to Start an Online Discussion Community</a><br /></li><li><a title="Exchange Links" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Exchange-Links">How to Exchange Links</a><br /></li><li><a title="Write Articles" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-Articles">How to Write Articles</a><br /></li><li><a class="mw-redirect" title="Create a Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Website">How to Create a Website</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a collaborative writing project to build the world's largest, highest quality how-to manual.

It will not offer as many options, but will be far cheaper. See External links below. Great options available for renting a website, see <a class="external free" title="http://www.renthttp.com" href="http://www.renthttp.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.renthttp.com</a>. This will allow you to add eCommerce, Blog, Photogallery, forum etc. at no additional cost.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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.<br /></li><li>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 <a class="external free" title="http://www.sadiedesigns.com/blog.shtml" href="http://www.sadiedesigns.com/blog.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.sadiedesigns.com/blog.shtml</a> for a basic web marketing glossary.<br /></li><li>Add your site to local searches: Most of the search engines have local search functions, and you should definitely appear there.

You'll have better luck if your site offers solid resources, tools, or tips for readers. Also submit to related directories.<br /></li><li>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". </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>Make it easy for people to contact you from your site by adding a Contact Us form, not just listing your email address. </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>Listing Email with 'mailto' tag can create problem of SPAM flood.

Just follow me steps by steps to make your own flash banner.<br /><br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Get flash software from Google,<br /></li><li>Download and install the software Flash Slideshow Builder, then run it.<br /></li><li><a class="external free" title="http://download.flash-slide-show.com/fssb_trial.exe" href="http://download.flash-slide-show.com/fssb_trial.exe" rel="nofollow">http://download.flash-slide-show.com/fssb_trial.exe</a><br /></li><li>“Browse”. Import your photos. You can import the photos which are pre-processed before by using some professional Image Processing Tool, say Photoshop, or just import the original photos then process them with the built-in editing tool, which include some basic functions like crop, rotate, filter, etc. Especially, you can add a hyperlink for each photo here. Below is my original photos.<br /></li><li>Select “Theme” &amp; “Effect”. Here I choose the default theme “RedRight” and “Fade” transition effect. After that, right click on one photo on the Story Board to set the “Duration Setting”. Set “Picture Duration” as 2 sec and “Transition Duration” as 1 sec, then check the option “Apply all settings to all pictures”.<br /></li><li>“Decorate” your photo with texts. Click “New Text” to add texts, select font, size, color, text effect, etc. for your photos. Here I select Font “Happy”, Size “22”, Color “Gold”, Effect “Fade”.<br /></li><li>“Publish”. Modify some “Publish Settings” to make the flash banner the best. Click “Publish Settings”, first change the Slideshow Size as the same as your photos’ size then other settings like play control, preloader, you can just leave them if you don’t need to change. Here I select “Square” preloader in “Preloader” Tab and set a text hyperlink for my entire banner in “Hyperlink” Tab. After done these, click “Create SWF Movie” to publish your flash banner.<br /></li><li>Add the flash banner on your website. It’s the best eye-catching than ever before. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>Add link for each image to different URL, double click the image to lanch "Image Edit" window, then you'll see a "Hyperlink" Tab at the right side, please set the link for each image there.<br /></li><li>Add link for whole slideshow to a URL, you needn't follow the way above to set every image. Please move to "Publish"-->click "Publish Settings"-->click "Hyperlink" -->check "Image" or "Text to display" option to set the URL for whole slideshow, and you can set the position for it by dragging it easily. </li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Get Live TV on Your Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Live-TV-on-Your-Website">How to Get Live TV on Your Website</a><br /></li><li><a title="Record Sermons and Make Them Available for Download" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Record-Sermons-and-Make-Them-Available-for-Download">How to Record Sermons and Make Them Available for Download</a><br /></li><li><a title="Create a Website With Site Rubix" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Website-With-Site-Rubix">How to Create a Website With Site Rubix</a><br /></li><li><a title="Set up a Joomla Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-a-Joomla-Website">How to Set up a Joomla Website</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a collaborative writing project to build the world's largest, highest quality how-to manual.

You've come to the right place. This is how to create a free website for all you budget handlers out there.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Go to a free website hosting like www.freeservers.com or www.mysite.com. (which literally are the same website).<br /></li><li>Register your domain name for free - if you are using a subdomain name, otherwise there's a fee for it.<br /></li><li>Use the FTP uploader; before you do that, make a website folder in My Documents or wherever you choose.<br /></li><li>Open Frontpage Express and start the process.<br /></li><li>Go to "Save As" and save it in your website folder, after you're done with each page. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>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.<br /></li><li>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). </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>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. </li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Publish a Web Site" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Publish-a-Web-Site">How to Publish a Web Site</a><br /></li><li><a title="Design a Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Design-a-Website">How to Design a Website</a><br /></li><li><a class="mw-redirect" title="Create a Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Website">How to Create a Website</a><br /></li><li><a title="Market Your Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Market-Your-Website">How to Market Your Website</a><br /></li><li><a title="Publish a PowerPoint Presentation Online" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Publish-a-PowerPoint-Presentation-Online">How to Publish a PowerPoint Presentation Online</a> </li></ul><h2>Sources and Citations </h2><ul><li><a class="external free" title="http://www.zoomshare.com" href="http://www.zoomshare.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.zoomshare.com/</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a collaborative writing project to build the world's largest, highest quality how-to manual.

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.<br /><a name="Steps"></a><h2>Steps </h2><ol><li>Create audio on your computer. It can either be a download or something you've saved using a microphone.<br /></li><li>Assuming you have a website, log in to your website and upload the audio.<br /></li><li>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)): <b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/myaudioname.mp3">Click here to listen</a></b><br /></li><li>To embed music into your site so it starts playing automatically every time someone enters your page, you simply enter this code: <b><embed src="yourmidiname.mid" width="25" height="25" type="text/html; charset=UTF-8" autostart="true" repeat="true" loop="true"></embed></b><br /></li><li>Again, change the spaces at the beginning and end and alter the file name. </li></ol><h2>Tips </h2><ul><li>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.<br /></li><li>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. </li></ul><h2>Warnings </h2><ul><li>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.<br /></li><li>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!<br /></li><li>Some computers may freeze up when audio is embedded in the site. Add a simple, short audio. </li></ul><h2>Related wikiHows </h2><ul><li><a title="Integrate Google Adsense Into Your Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Integrate-Google-Adsense-Into-Your-Website">How to Integrate Google Adsense Into Your Website</a><br /></li><li><a title="Organize Your Web Page Favorites" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Organize-Your-Web-Page-Favorites">How to Organize Your Web Page Favorites</a><br /></li><li><a class="mw-redirect" title="Make Realistic Cob Webs" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Realistic-Cob-Webs">How to Make Realistic Cob Webs</a><br /></li><li><a title="Direct Google Users to Your Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Direct-Google-Users-to-Your-Website">How to Direct Google Users to Your Website</a><br /></li><li><a class="mw-redirect" title="Create a Website" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Website">How to Create a Website</a><br /></li><li><a title="Create a Favicon.ico" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Favicon.ico">How to Create a Favicon.ico</a> </li></ul><p><i>Article provided by <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page">wikiHow</a>, a collaborative writing project to build the world's largest, highest quality how-to manual.
