One is a free website submission to search engines (just don't over-do it), for example, maybe submit once a month. The other is a link exchange program. You might want to have your meta tags checked to see if they are adequate. http://www.freewebsubmission.com/ http://www.thehoth.co/ You could also do a search for more such sites. Back in the earlier days of the Internet it was pretty simple. You put up a personal website for free, threw in a bunch of keywords, registered with the search engines and people started coming. Things are different now. Search engines have to deal with huge amounts of spamming because today's Internet is all about money. Search engines don't just link to your website because you added a few relevant keywords. If they did that, the spammers would totally take over everything. Most search engines, especially google, pay more attention to who links to your website than what keywords you deliberately add to your site. They also take steps to avoid anyone deliberately manipulating the system with fake websites linking to them and so forth. Details about how all this works are mostly trade secrets. The only way to get people to link to you is to build a really good website. Keep people coming back with new content every day. Be persistent with your efforts even if it seems like nobody is visiting or linking. Eventually if you build a good enough website and have it up long enough lots of people will start linking to you. This will bring in traffic and move you upwards on Google's results pages. make sure you register with the search engines so that they know to crawl your site. Include relevant keywords that are somewhat related to your site somewhere on the site (so when people do a general search, your site will still pop up). Don't spam blogs or other websites, that's plain rude and no one actually visits sites that way. Form a partnership with other sites, like include links to them, and have them include links to you. The content should be somewhat related. There are other ways to promote it, but it depends on what type of site it is.

It is possible. If you have wifi on your laptop, run the search function. It will show you which networks are available in your location. They may be coded however. But you will be surprised how many free services there are, and how many people do not realize they have not secured their network. If you find a connection with a small box in the right corner, it means it's an ad-hoc network. You may try to connect but not be able to, but if you can't, just run the network set up wizard, wait until it finds it then add it !Otherwise, if you can only get secured networks then you need to get more sophisticated. Try googling airsnort for windows for more info.The wireless net work would need to be broadcasting its SSID (Network Name) and be unsecured i.e have no password to log on to it.Or it could have WEP encryption which is easy to crack or no encryption and no Network card Mac Address filtering as each network card has a unique Mac Address.The only secure way is to employ Mac Address filtering, don't broadcast the SSID and use WPA, and Limit the number of Connections and even use Static IP (when you tie and unique ip number to each network card.)Yes, you can connect to anyone's WiFi as long as there is no password on it. You will ALSO need a WiFi card in your computer, if you don't have this you wont receive the signal, if there is a password on the WiFi there are certain programs you can download that get around the password for you, if you have drivers in your wifi card. To connect to a wifi connectionOn mac, next to the battery icon there is the "airport" icon, click on the icon and it should list all available wifi connections. On windows, open up internet connection, click on wireless connection then click search or scan.Routers send out signals and they can not be controlled where they go. They go out in a circle all around for around 100 feet. If someone was to go in a car by the house and open up their wireless network you will see something like LINUX, 2WIRE***, MY HOUSE, and stuff like that. You will pick up from the signal that the routers are sending out. Most networks are password protected but can easily be broken into by typing in a simple password. I am not going to tell you guys the password.

I download and test a lot of programs. For preventative measures and malware, I use SpyBot and Spyware Blaster (both free).I’ve found Zone Alarm Pro to be the best firewall because it lets me know when something is trying to connect, either incoming or outgoing.I’ve tried about every anti-virus program out there. The two that I’ve found to be the best and use the least amount of resources are ESET32 and Avast Professional and I have both loaded. The thing I like about Avast is that it monitors everything and you know it’s working. I have set it off many times downloading something suspicious. I like an anti-virus program that taps me on the shoulder once in while.To be safer, use Firefox as a browser. With it’s Safe Download extension, you can set your anti-virus program(s) to check everything downloaded through it. Internet Explorer just isn’t secure. (duh)As far as Norton’s, McAfee, Kaspersky, & BitDefender, all bloatware. Kaspersky and BitDefender, although they may be good, can make your system slow down to a crawl. What good is a computer that crawls?I read a lot of reviews and do a lot of testing. The above mentioned items keep my computer running fast and clean.

Just wanted to post a general comment here. I am still a bit worreid about which antivirus to choose. As I expected ZoneAlarm rated well, they have what I consider to be the best firewall, and that I have been using for quite some time now, without a single disappointment, although I wouldn’t recommend the free edition… Maybe the ZoneAlarm Firewall + Antispyware, but I just use it as a firewall. It’s anti-spyware feature didn’t really impress me, and the anti-virus, nothing at all….We had been obsessed with Norton for a long time here, and it was quite uncommon when we got on topic and said I didn’t use any of Norton’s products. I am growing to hate their stuff. Sorry! I mean, recently I installed the 2007 version just to see how it works, and was entirely disappointed that it didn’t find a single thing ,even though Windows had failed too boot up properly due to virus (and had to initialise safe-mood and a lot of stuff). Moreover, what upsets me more is that Symantec has taken over a great program of HD partitioning (PartionMagic) and was disappointed to see that they no longer provided any updates, barely cared to change the date and brand information…AVG was fine but had some false positives, together with Avast, but I am happy with Avast. I didn’t quite like NOD32 due to certain features such as the always-on feature of scanning files, it’s not much system-consuming but it is… but I was really impressed with it’s heuristic techniques, totally awesome.One last thing (this is getting too much haha) I would never ever recommend using two anti-viruses simultaneously on the computer. A firewall and different brand anti-virus and different brand anti-spyware / adware is acceptable, but not two of the same… I have my reasons why ( got tired of writing everything up lol).

All right, let's get this straight: Who really did create the Internet?Vice President Al Gore has been the butt of endless jokes for having taken credit for it. But what is the real story?Unfortunately, although the question is simple and straightforward, the answer is not. Gore did provide early support for the technology -- even if he puffed up his role -- but computer pioneers can't even agree on exactly what the Internet is, let alone who created it.Most historical accounts say the Internet was created in 1969, when the first network of widely separated computers was set up by the Defense Department to aid in computer research. It was called the ARPANET, and it was created by scientists at Bolt Beranek & Newman, or BB&N, in Cambridge, Mass., and at Stanford University, based on concepts described earlier by Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists J.C.R. Licklider and Leonard Kleinrock (and a few others).Well, in a historical sense, that is a reasonable claim. But it's also a bit like saying the Interstate Highway System was created by the first Native Americans who blazed some of the trails the highways would later follow.Some accounts suggest Robert Kahn of BB&N and Vinton Cerf of Stanford really laid the groundwork for the Internet explosion. The two computer scientists, who joined forces at the Advanced Research Programs Agency (the ARPA in ARPANET) spent most of the 1970s developing the transmission system for sending data between different networks of computers that were running incompatible operating systems.The system (or rather systems) they developed, called TCP/IP (for Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol), was the technical achievement that made the Internet as we know it possible.At the time, it was just a small network connecting relatively few huge university and research computers. Nobody foresaw the explosion of personal computers that was about to unfold.But when most people think of the Internet, what they really have in mind is a combination of electronic mail (which evolved separately, and the World Wide Web (which came along much later, in 1991).E-mail was developed in the 1970s as a way of sending messages within a company's or laboratory's internal computer network, and then was adapted to send messages between networks as well. But for the first two decades or so, it functioned much as the earliest telephones did.There was a time when there were numerous telephone companies, each with their own wires and phones, none of them interconnected. If you wanted to be able to place calls to people on different systems, you needed a separate phone and telephone line for each one. In the early days of e-mail, people had exactly the same problem: many different e-mail systems, each using different software.Gradually, "gateways" were created to allow people to send mail from one system to another. But it wasn't until the 1990s that virtually all e-mail began to flow through the Internet, using the now-standard "@" symbol followed by an Internet domain name (a naming system adopted in 1984) to define their addresses. That convention, and especially the ubiquitous @ sign, are credited to Ray Tomlinson of BB&N, who wrote one of the pioneering e-mail programs in 1972.Through the 1980s and early 1990s, as personal computers soared from a curiosity owned mostly by techie hobbyists and a few companies to a widespread commodity, anyone wanting to link a computer to a network had to choose from among the many private network systems available -- Delphi, CompuServe, Prodigy, Genie, Bix and a host of others. None allowed any connection to the world outside the individual network and its subscribers.In addition, the Internet was still strictly limited to use on college campuses and in research labs.What changed?That's where Al Gore comes in.Gore was widely credited in histories written long before the vice president's oft-derided comment that he "took the initiative in creating the Internet."Gore is credited by the technological cognoscenti for having sponsored legislation that helped launch the expansion of the fledgling Internet to ever-wider uses. As early as 1986, Gore articulated a vision of widespread connected computing, and later introduced a follow-up bill to expand access to the network.None of these histories comes close to giving him credit for the "creation" of the Internet. One account, written by Vinton Cerf, states: "I think the vice president is very deserving of credit for his active support for the Internet and the businesses that depend on it daily."But the person responsible for what most people think of as "the Internet" came along even later in the process. Until 1991, the only ways to use the Internet (other than for sending e-mail) were to use programs such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol). This allowed you to "log on" to another computer, and then to download files. But first, you had to know the exact "domain name" or address of the computer you wanted to access. You also had to have an account name and password for that specific computer.Then came Tim Berners-Lee, a computer programmer at the European Center for Particle Research, or CERN, in Geneva. He devised a system that would allow people to access information simply by clicking on a "link" within a document. The link itself would contain all the necessary information about where the file was, so that, from the user's point of view, it made no difference if the file were coming from a computer down the hall or around the world.That breakthrough concept was something Berners-Lee, now a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, dubbed the World Wide Web, or WWW. It was he who created the system of Internet addresses that begin with the now-familiar "http://forums.xisto.com/; (which stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol) and the language used to create Web pages, HTML (or HyperText Markup Language).That system was finalized in 1991, which in practical terms can be thought of as the birth of the Internet as we know it today. The ban on commercial use was finally lifted later that year.OK, so who was the "creator" of the Internet? Cerf himself describes it thus: "I consider Bob Kahn and myself to be the principal fathers of the specific design, but we were very dependent on the work of others."In short, Cerf says, "I don't think it makes sense to give any one person such a title."

Some of my favorite Bands are Good Charlotte, Hinder, Skillet, Staind, Three Days Grace, Panic at the Disco, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Green Day, Five for Fighting and the Snow Patrol. Good Charlotte is mostly about alienation and a sad times in people's lives, Hinder is a great band too, Skillet is Christian Rock, but i especially like Rebirthing. My Favorite Staind Songs are "So FAr Away" and "Believe." For Three Days Grace i enjoy listening to "Never too late" and the "Animal i have become." I like "Nine in the Afternoon" from Panic at the Disco, "Face Down" from Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, "American Idiot" from Green Day and "100 years" and "if god made you" from Five for Fighting." I also like "Chasing Cars" from SnowPatrol. I like many other bands, so this is only a short list of the bands i have recently listened to.

When i first started out i used notepad, which quickly became a problem because i didn't know much about HTML or CSS. So I switched to Microsoft Front Page and it was ok for a while, until Mozilla started to become popular and other browsers emerged. I quickly found out that Front Page was mainly compatible with Internet Explorer, but worse with most other browsers. You really have to code the HTML correctly for it to be compliant. So eventually I switched to Abode's Dreamweaver, which was very compliant with and up to date with HTML and CSS standards. Every time I'm working on a new web project, i make sure that i preview the work on the 3 main browsers me and my user use, Mozilla, IE and Safari. I think it depends on the person and what they feel comfortable with, when they are coding HTML. I know some people are pros and know every aspect of HTML, so they can use notepad with ease. While people like me need a WYSIWUG editor to make everything easier and i do admit that i need help with some of the tags, because i don't have the time to memorize or learn everything. But i totally recommend DReamweaver, there's even a 30 days trial for those who aren't sure they should try it out. Good Luck.--> Efrain was here

Wow, this is windows live search is truly a new low for Microsoft.The UI is horrible - this is just so the live.com team can say they use AJAX without actually implementing it a helpful way.I can't middle click search results to open them in tabs in firefox.I can't use the scroll wheel to go from results 1-7 to results 8-14. They seem to jump from 1-7 to 243-249. Huh?Microsoft thinks it is being clever by putting the scroll bar within the page, but it works worse than a regular browser scroll bar and breaks regular scrolling functionality. This is an incredibly poorly though-out idea.It is slow, slow, slow. The first page loads slowly, the results load slowly, the results scroll slowly.Did I say the search results are irrelevent? I guess I did now.

I have the new Windows Live Beta 8.5 version and there isn't anything major that's different from the older version, except that it blends with the Vista Theme. I have Windows Ex, but i downloaded a theme that looks like Vista and it really blends.

I really hate it when people use these acronyms in emails, because their text count isn't limited like cellphone texting and it really seems like they don't care. Some people who go the extra mile and make a point of using every acronym in each email i mean how was i suppose to know that WEGFHSDY YRTYSDGS was even a well known acronym. To me this just shows that the person in question was just simply lazy and didn't care about taking the time to write grammatically correct sentences and paragraphs. Sure it's ok to use it now and again in the chat room, but even then it's kind of overused. For example "LOL" use to mean "laughing out loud," now it means "I really don't care about what you are typing, just want to say something to acknowledge your existence." In the forums i don't think it's ok to use these acronyms, just like in emails. It just shows that you are too lazy to write actual sentences. The only reason for anyone to be write these acronyms over and over is if their internet usage is charges by the hour or something like some Dial-Up Services or maybe and internet cafe.
