			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;re trying to surf a site like myspace, hotmail or yahoo mail from work or school and its blocked by your school, work or government.  Or maybe you want to go on a site without anyone knowing what your doing.  The simplest way to do it is by using a web proxy.  A proxy is another computer that is like a mask your computer puts on when it connects to the Internet.  It&#8217;s also a private gateway to blocked sites because the site you are actually surfing is hidden behind the proxy, which is unblocked.  For example, if you go to a web proxy in London and surf the Web, every other computer in the world thinks you are from London!</p>
<p>There are plenty of free web proxy sites that you can use.  The problem is that many of the popular ones also get blocked by people at your school, company or government.  However, once you find one that is not blocked, all you do is go to the proxy site, enter the URL you want to browse and click go!  Its that easy.  You can then click on any links in the page you are browsing and you&#8217;re still anonymous to the outside world.  Just remember that if you go to a proxy and its blocked or no longer works, its no big deal, there are thousands of them.  Just try another one and eventually you will find a web proxy that lets you browse freely and privately.  </p>
<p>One good proxy site is: http://bu1.info</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are tons of items you can buy through the web. You can get clothes, jewelry, toys and lately, animals such as ferrets are also available in the market.</p>
<p>Sites like these can be found all over the country. All you have to do is type in some keywords using a search engine then browse through what the seller or the breeder has available.</p>
<p>If you are thinking of getting a good deal by making the highest bid, don’t ever bother because you won’t find live ferrets up for grabs here by looking them up in an auction site since you will only find the accessories.</p>
<p>Most sites have photos of the ferrets and when you have chosen the one you like, you can pay for it so this can be delivered or be told to pick it up yourself from the breeder. These are available in different ages, gender and color so take your pick.</p>
<p>You don’t spend more or less when you decide to buy a ferret online instead of getting it in your neighborhood because the selling price of a ferret is still around $75 to $125. At the same time that you are buying your ferret, you may also buy some other items like the cage and a few other accessories that will be an additional $100 to $250.</p>
<p>Aside from breeders who sell ferrets online, you will also be able to find information that you will find useful in taking care of your pet. There are articles written by experts, books and posts which allow you to ask questions and read the responses from other ferret owners.</p>
<p>For people who have never raised a ferret before, it is best to do some research about this animal. You should know how to take care of them and most importantly, if it is legal to own one where you reside. As of now, ferrets are illegal to own as pets in the states of California, Hawaii, Texas and Canada. They are legal in the cities of Illinois, Minneapolis, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island and owners are required to acquire a permit.</p>
<p>If you do not live in any of the areas mentioned, you should get in touch with your local game or wildlife department or your local vet.</p>
<p>But buying a ferret is not that different from buying any other item on the web. You still have to be careful who you buy it from to avoid being scammed by doing a background check. Since you want good value for your money, it is best to get in touch with a few breeders or sellers and then try haggle a bit before closing the deal.</p>
<p>Should you be required to pick up the animal yourself, examine it carefully by looking at the eyes, its behavior and the coating. It is only if you are satisfied with the animal that you pay up the whole amount and then take it home.</p>
<p>Buying ferrets online is simply a new means of owning this animal because aside from them, you may also get a ferret as a pet by adopting one from an animal shelter. These are usually abandoned and to weak to fend for themselves in the wild so it is best for someone to take care of them.</p>
<p>If you think you can handle it, go ahead and get one because this small little creature also needs a happy home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since iPhone hit the market, people started to become crazy about it. In fact, iPhone sales today are still going up and a lot of people are still buying it. So, just what makes iPhone so popular among a lot of people?</p>
<p>Well, for starters, it has a lot of capabilities that no other phone has. It has a touch screen LCD where you don’t have to fiddle with keypads anymore, and it has amazing graphics capabilities that will blow you away. The LCD itself is considered to be the largest in mobile phones and you can even clearly see movies in it without your eyes squinting to see the details of the movie or the video you are watching.</p>
<p>The Apple iPhone can also let you go online through WiFi Internet access. Just be inside a WiFi hotspot and you will be able to surf the Internet with your iPhone.</p>
<p>And, the best thing about the iPhone is that it has the capabilities of your iPod, which is let you listen to your favorite tunes while you are on the go.</p>
<p>iPhone is basically a hybrid between iPod and a mobile phone.</p>
<p>And, with music playing capabilities, you may want to know which website you should visit in order to download your favorite music.</p>
<p>To start downloading music in to your iPhone, it is always safe and legal to go for a paid website. Although you will need to pay a subscription fee in order for you to download your favorite tunes, you can be sure that your computer as well as your iPhone will be safe from malicious programs or computer viruses and spyware software. Also, you can be sure that it is a hundred percent legal as most free music download websites are P2P websites that are known to be dangerous and illegal.</p>
<p>For a minimum subscription fee, you will be able to download your favorite music to your iPhone safely and legally.</p>
<p>When looking for a website to download your music, you might want to join a download website that offers a lot of download variety. You have to make sure that they have a huge library of music files available for download. You need to remember that some people may like pop music and you may not. You have to go for a website that offers different variety of music genre, such as pop, rock, acoustic, nu-metal, emo, classical, and others.</p>
<p>Another important thing that you should look for is the download interface. Is it easy to understand and operate? Is it easy to navigate from file to file? Always make sure that the interface should always be simple to use in order to make the most of your download time. Also, make sure that the download speed is fast enough that it won’t take you an hour just to download a single song with a high speed Internet connection. In fact, it should only take you 2 to 4 minutes or even less depending on your connection speed to download a song.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Webinar hosting requires utilization of a special software that lets presenter bring an interactive presentation through the web. Today, numerous vendors offer web based seminar services. Software applications differ tremendously in price and features. The examples of varying features include ability to: show animation, attendee reporting and pre-registration, use audio via public internet or integrated audio conferencing, allows audience to see a presenter’s live product demo through his computer screen, present questionnaires and audience polls, answer dialogs and manage live questions during a presentation.</p>
<p>To host a webinar, you will need a recording, a bridge line, a transcript, an outline, an autoresponder, and squeeze page. You may want a video presentation and a slide show for your webinar. You need to decide on the visuals for your webinar at an early time. A great video presentation or powerpoint takes some time to prepare so be ready with it.</p>
<p>The secret to a successful webinar hosting is the preparation. Webinar is not a sure thing compared to a business which can be quite easy to pull off. You’ll need to remember that while you are not directly in front of your participants, you are still on the spotlight so the things that will apply in the traditional presentation are still important here.</p>
<p>Be very prepared without any stumbling or fumbling over all your materials. You can extend your reach to a larger audience rather than the traditional seminar. If your seminar is recorded, this can be your marketing tool later on.</p>
<p>Included in the preparation is the outline. This will ensure that the presentation will progress smoothly and goes off without any hitch. Your outline will also help you track your allotted time frame; this will also give you the sense of professionalism. You can also give your participants the outline so that they can follow you and take notes.</p>
<p>Hosting your webinar also needs promotion. Start with your promotions early. Make sure that you load your autoresponder and that your squeeze page is ready. Present your guests with good materials and make it easy for them. If you’ll be hosting a webinar with a busy speaker, ensure that you book his time as early as possible. Give him all the materials needed so that he will be well versed about the webinar he’ll present.</p>
<p>Aside from the guidelines, there are other simple tips to guide you in hosting a webinar. First is to keep a drink near you especially if you’re the presenter. You must ensure that you sound clear so you must prevent your mouth from being dry. Second, you must have a backup plan. If you’ll be interviewing a guest during the event, ensure that you have a secondary guest in case something comes up.</p>
<p>Third, your call length must be for about an hour only. Remember that your guests are on their homes and it will be hard for them to join the seminar for more than one hour. Fourth, you need to give clear directions to your callers since some of them will be first timers on the webinar. Teach them what to do in case of background noise; teach them how to unmute or mute and other things necessary for the seminar.</p>
<p>Fifth, always make your recording of the event. You can use it later or offer it to those who will not be able to make the call. Make sure that you acquire a webinar service which lets you record.  Sixth is the Q&amp;A time; to add value to your call and encourage your listeners to participate, try to have time for the Question and Answer session.</p>
<p>Lastly, end your webinar with the call to action for the guests. Ask them to give their feedbacks, give them assignments and a link to your special offers.</p>
<p>A webinar properly hosted can be a good endeavor. Since entrepreneurs are looking for productive and cost effective means to interact with staff, prospects and customers, webinars can be an excellent way to reach this goal. Turn your business into a wealthy one with frequent use of your webinars.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re the type of person who is outgoing, lively and likes to share information, you might want to consider producing free webinars as a means to make a living.  This is currently one of the best ways to earn an income online and is a very popular technique for many Web marketers and business owners.  But how do you make money from something you&#8217;re giving away at no cost?  Here are ways you can profit from producing webinars for free:</p>
<p>Build buzz for your company or business</p>
<p>Producing free webinars is one of the most effective ways to introduce your business online.  If you&#8217;ve tried penetrating this industry before, you&#8217;ll know that competition tends to be rather tough.</p>
<p>To get a leg in, you need to be viewed as an authority in your field.  And what better way to begin than by producing a free webinar?  Your prospective market will be very appreciative of your efforts since they don&#8217;t have to pay for anything and yet still get something out of your lecture.</p>
<p>Build your reputation</p>
<p>It&#8217;s probably difficult to produce a paid webinar if you&#8217;re still a relative unknown on the Internet.  However, that shouldn’t stop you from using this technique.  By producing a webinar that people can learn from without paying a cent, you will be able to introduce yourself to the industry.</p>
<p>Your name then achieves a certain level of recognizability.  Next time you need to sell a product or launch a marketing campaign, you will be able to expect better reception.</p>
<p>Turn the webinar into a paid course</p>
<p>This is a strategy used by many marketers to generate profit from producing free webinars.  Record the webinar and then make copies on CDs or DVDs.  You can also save the lecture as a downloadable electronic file or transcribe it into an e-book.</p>
<p>To add value to the webinar, consider adding two or three premium topics into the new product.  That way, people will have enough reason to want to buy it since what they got for free doesn’t include the premium stuff.</p>
<p>Sell products linked to the webinar</p>
<p>Another great way to profit from producing free webinars is to sell products related to the topic.  Many marketers earn good income using this strategy.  This is the reason why savvy marketers are more than willing to offer their Web lectures for free because they know it is a means to promote and sell their products such as books, e-books and other services.  More often than not, the sale from these products more than make up for the expenses incurred in producing the webinar.</p>
<p>Earn from your affiliate link</p>
<p>Even if you will be producing free webinars, it&#8217;s still quite possible for you to earn a profit if you are part of an affiliate program.  During the webinar, mention one or two products (three would be the maximum and four would be overselling) that your audience can use as reference or guide later on.</p>
<p>Just make sure these products are related to the topic of your webinar.  If not, the relevance will be lost to your audience.  If they find your webinar useful, they&#8217;re more likely to buy.</p>
<p>Sell your next webinar</p>
<p>If you have a really good topic for a webinar, why not produce a free lecture that can serve as an introductory piece for this topic?  Use teaser topics with the free webinar and offer premium topics for your next webinar.  That way, you can use your free webinar as a means to promote your paid lecture.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll earn your profits.  Just make sure to create a smooth transition from the free lecture to the paid lecture so your audience will find relevance in both.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Without a domain name, websites are specified by an IP address.  What is an IP address?  It is an identifier that is used by computers or humans to determine the location of a server or website.  However, for humans, an IP address, (which is expressed in a numerical format), can be difficult to remember.  This is why domain names were invented.  With a domain name, a human can locate a website through more user-friendly words or phrases.  And although numbers can be a part of a domain name, they usually do not make up all of it, like what is seen with an IP address.</p>
<p>In terms of format, domain names have several parts.  The first part is known as the URL, (which stands for Uniform Resource Locator).  The URL tells the browser what the domain name is going to point to.  This will usually be &#8216;http&#8217;, which means the browser can expect to locate a hypertext document.  In layman&#8217;s terms this means webpage.  In the rare cases the URL is not &#8216;http&#8217; it may be &#8216;ftp&#8217;, which means file transfer protocol.  A webmaster would opt to use ftp if they would like visitors to download files from their server.</p>
<p>The second part of the domain name will be &#8220;www,&#8221; which stands for &#8220;World Wide Web.&#8221;  This phrase lets computers and humans know the site the domain name is pointing to is indeed from the Internet.  It is followed by the actual domain name, which can be a combination of letters, numbers or phrases.  A good domain name will be short, memorable and most importantly, search-engine friendly.  In fact, good webmasters tend to concentrate more on a domain name&#8217;s effectiveness with SEO, (or Search Engine Optimization), than they do its creativity.  To do this they make sure to choose a domain name that has a widely searched keyword.</p>
<p>The final portion of the domain name has what is known as an extension.  This lets a person know a little bit more about a website&#8217;s origins.  For example, take .com, the most common domain name extension.  It stands for &#8216;commercial&#8217;, and was originally intended for organizations in that vein.  However, now the extension is used by virtually anyone looking to create a website.  And this is for good reason, since most web surfers will think about the .com before they would think about .org, .biz or .net.  Yet, don&#8217;t think the other extensions can&#8217;t become memorable either.  Consider Wikipedia.org which is a wildly popular website despite its .org extension.</p>
<p>Domain name extensions can also specify things on a geographical level.  An example are country-based extensions such as .fr, (which stands for France), or .jp, (which stands for Japan).  They can also be state-based, such as .ca, (which stands for California).  Both can serve as excellent tools for localized Internet marketing.</p>
<p>To get a domain name, a person can either: 1) get one from their web hosting company, provided they offer that service or 2) get one from a separate domain name company.  Price-wise things will vary with both options, though typically the cost will range from $6.50 to $35.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://1001howto.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/blog_howto_news.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-92" title="blog_howto_news" src="http://1001howto.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/blog_howto_news.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="137" /></a>Email opt-in lists are very important. They provide you a legitimate way to keep in touch with your customers, not to mention a way to ensure that you don’t lose them to the competition as well.</p>
<p>Subscription Software</p>
<p>Choose the best software that will allow you to automate the registration process for would-be subscribers. Once you have this up and running, visitors of your blog can automatically opt-in to your email list even without your physical supervision. As the settings for these programs are configurable, it’s up to you to choose whether approval of subscriptions would be automated or manual.</p>
<p>Offer and Link</p>
<p>Use an attention-catching image or decorative text when inviting people to join your email list. Be sure to place it in a prominent area of your homepage. As for other pages, just choose a spot where it’s highly visible and which you could maintain for your entire website.</p>
<p>As for the link, just keep it simple and remember to make regular checks in order to ensure that it’s always in good working order.</p>
<p>Call to Action</p>
<p>Since building your email list is your current goal, it’s best to end every blog entry you write with an invitation to join your email list. Your call to action for now should offer strong encouragement on joining your email list.</p>
<p>For an effective call to action, just keep your sentence short but powerful. Use action-packed words and if possible, try creating a sense of urgency with your words.</p>
<p>Deadlines</p>
<p>Speaking of urgency, one way of making people even more aware of the need to join your email list is by offering an incentive with it. This can be special discounts, membership privileges, or free ebooks and the likes. Whatever you end up offering, just remember to place a deadline on your promotion.</p>
<p>With the clock ticking, your blog readers are sure to experience just how necessary it is for them to avail of your offer.</p>
<p>Benefits</p>
<p>Besides those incentives you’ve mentioned, there must also be other benefits for a customer to enjoy once they do sign up for your email list. Explain to them what you hope to accomplish with your email list and how they’ll benefit from it at the same time.</p>
<p>Signing up with your email list, for instance, will allow them to receive regular updates about the latest additions to your blog. They may also be able to receive newsletters containing special members-only data.</p>
<p>Safety and Confidentiality</p>
<p>Another way to encourage people to sign up for your email list from your blog is by giving them the assurance they need when it comes to safety and confidentiality. Purchase and register for what you need in order to provide your customers as secure platform for the registration process. A secure platform is one that keeps customer data safe from getting hacked.</p>
<p>As for confidentiality, you should also give your solemn word not to share any information they submit with other parties.</p>
<p>Overall Improvement</p>
<p>Of course, the real clincher is your blog itself. If you consistently work on providing the best content for your blog, you’re giving them the best reason to sign up for your email list. If you don’t prove to them that there’s something to look forward to in your blog, they will never think there’s any reason for them to join your email list.</p>

With the Pocket PC, yes it is. You just have to follow these simple rules then you’re all set to listen to your favorite tunes with your Internet radio. This time, you have to push your PDA limits to the test and hopefully, the limit will produce a very impressive result.</p>
<p>Of course you already have your MP3 playing on your desktop that is downloaded to your PDA. Now, it’s a challenge on how to stream an Internet radio right on the palm of your hands and inside the device. What you need is a software that’ll make it all possible. So here it is the tips and a quick tutorial on how to stream Internet radio.</p>
<p>Wait, hold on. Before that, we’ll define what radio streaming means. Radio streaming means that a radio station is played via a web server. The music is streamed by companies, individuals and radio stations.</p>
<p>Clear? Down to business.</p>
<p>You would need to assemble a couple of things like: your Pocket PC, GSplayer (a freeware that you can find in the “elsewhere on the web” area where links are being routed to the developer’s homepage), and wireless Internet connection.</p>
<p>Including Shoutcast and Ogg Vorbis playlists, GSplayer is the kind of player that is easy to manipulate and uses minimal resources but has massive options. There is just one downside in all of this…lack of documentation, the more reason why you want to reconfigure your player according to your options. The following discussion will focus more on setting up your GSplayer to choose to play Shoutcast stations.</p>
<p>Download the GSplayer first. The direct download will get you versions for all Windows and PPCs. While the other download lets you choose the program that’ll process your PPC. Unzip the downloaded files in your desktop. There are about two to three files in the unzipped file. Copy and paste the entire file in you Pocket PC. To make it look more organized, put it inside a personalized folder.</p>
<p>Procedures</p>
<p>1. On your GSplayer, you’ll see the “Tool” button. Click it.</p>
<p>2. Upon clicking the “Tool”, an array of different words will be displayed. There will be effects, playlist, volume up, volume down, display off and options. Select the “Options” bar.</p>
<p>3. A preference page will appear and give you a list of different choices. Under &#8220;Preferences&#8221;, you can choose to mark everything or leave &#8220;add list to existing files&#8221; empty. After which click on &#8220;Resume&#8221; and &#8220;Load Previous Playlist&#8221; You can also select other areas if you like.</p>
<p>4. At the bottom of your screen, you’ll find &#8220;Associations&#8221;, choose it then select every option.</p>
<p>5. It’s time to find some favorite tunes! Upon entering the Shoutcast email address, put</p>
<p>a check on the &#8220;Open file after download&#8221; then click &#8220;Change&#8221;</p>
<p>6. From your PDA&#8217;s Internet Explorer, approach the homepage of Shoutcast. You can select top stations or better yet, find for your favorite music type. The moment you have found the station, choose the &#8220;Tune In&#8221; icon.</p>
<p>7. Then you can name the station that you have chosen base on your preference.</p>
<p>8. Once you have heard it playing, your task is done.</p>
<p>There you have it. Now you can start grooving and moving to your favorite station and music. You can also choose to drop and drag your files to your personal computer. In cases of Pocket PC troubles, try to check the firewall settings.</p>
