Ways to Protect yourself from Bank or Credit Card Theft Online
Posted by Steven in Misc Tuesday, 27 October 2009 15:36 No Comments
Here’s one easy suggestion:
If you use a bank account to make purchases, get a separate debit card for web use only. This is for ONE-TIME purchases only, not subscriptions.
This way, if you see multiple “same” charges on the account, you know it’s an error or fraud.
Also, cancel this card and get a new one at least once a year. That way, you’re debit card information is no longer valid in case someone else has it.
Good luck!

How to use social networking sites without looking like a narcissist
Posted by Steven in Misc Wednesday, 26 August 2009 15:46 No Comments
So it seems like everyone these days has an account with Myspace, Facebook or Twitter. There are also tons of other social networking sites, but these three are the most popular so I’ll stick to them.
I saw a sign the other day at Hooters that said, “Follow us on Facebook and Twitter”. I thought to myself, “who would follow this restaurant in the first place? Is it really that important that I am kept up to date with how good their chicken wings are?”.
It’s kind of ridiculous the way these social networking sites are being utilized. The sad thing is that a lot of people turn Myspace or Facebook in to their own personal little promotional page, and this is where narcissism screams the loudest.
Top 12 Frequently Asked Questions
Posted by admin in Misc Monday, 24 August 2009 01:52 No Comments
(1) Why does my business need a web page?
83% of all consumers research a product or service online prior to making a “decision”.
79% of all consumers expect that a business will have a website.
If the statistics aren’t enough, ask yourself this…
“Does your business need a sign out front?” Your likely answer…”Of course. How else will people know we’re here”. Well, “driving by” is quickly being replaced with “clicking by”. And a website can offer far more compelling reasons to use your service (rather than your competitors) than your sign ever could.
If your thinking… “people don’t look for my product or service on the internet.” that is not true!!! People shop or research EVERYTHING on the internet, including local services… and the businesses that take the best advantage of the web, as an advertising tool, will reap the best rewards!
(2) Do I have to know anything about the Worldwide Web and HTML to have a web page?
