How to Organize a SeminarIn Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
Choose your topic. If you're a consultant or speaker, it's likely that you've been asked to speak to a group about a certain topic. If you're a business owner organizing a seminar to promote your business, you should select a topic that will appeal to your target customer. For example, an attorney might organize a free seminar for the public on estate planning.
Select your venue. Try to estimate the number of participants you'll have and choose a venue that will have ample space for everyone to sit comfortably. You'll also have to take price into consideration when selecting a venue. Some venues can have room rental fees of several hundred or even thousands of dollars, while others are much more reasonable. Hotels often have banquet rooms where businesses frequently hold conventions, so that may be a good place to start in your search for a location.
Create and mail invitations. Depending on the size and formality of your event, your invitations can range from a simple document created in Microsoft Word to a fancy design created by a professional designer. Mail your invitations several weeks in advance to allow participants time to plan to attend. Don't mail the invitations so far in advance that they may forget before the actual seminar date arrives, however. You can also email your invitations, but keep in mind that they may end up in several recipients' spam folders.
Decide whether you'll offer lunch or light refreshments. If your seminar runs for several hours, it's a nice touch to have light refreshments available. If your seminar starts early in the morning or runs over the lunch hour, providing lunch is recommended. Some venues have a requirement that you utilize the services of their in-house caterer when holding an event at the facility. Be sure you know the rules of your contract before you order refreshments.
Create your presentation materials. Make copies of handouts, or have them printed at a professional printer. You'll probably want to create a PowerPoint presentation so you have a visual reference when you or your speaker are presenting material. You can easily create a handout for your participants by selecting 'handouts' under print options. Make sure you select three per page, and your participants will be able to take notes directly on their handouts.
A few days before the event, finalize your number of attendees based on your RSVPs. If you choose, you can call other people that you've invited to remind them of your event and give them one last chance to register. Leave a message for anyone you don't reach, if possible, and instruct them to call you as soon as possible if they plan to attend.
Create a sign-in sheet and nametags. It's nice for seminar participants to be able to meet other people and immediately see their name and where they are from. It eliminates some of the uncomfortable feelings people have when introducing themselves to new people. A sign-in sheet will prove useful if you plan to offer any type of continuing education credits to your participants, or if you simply wish to keep in contact with your participants after the seminar. You can ask for their names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. It's wise to offer a box they can check if they don't wish to receive further communication from you.
Create packets for each table setting. You may want to include brochures and other promotional material about your business. You'll also want to provide something for your participants to write on and a pen for them to write with. If you don't have these items with your business logo on, the venue where you're holding your event may have pens and pads that they'd be happy to provide.
Confirm details with your contact person at your venue a few days prior to your event. You should also confirm a final head count with your caterer if you're having food catered. Be sure to let your caterer know if you'll need them to supply paper products, such as plates, napkins or cups. Make any payment arrangements necessary. Some venues and caterers require upfront payment, while others are happy to collect money the day of your event.
Set up your venue the day before or morning of your event. You'll want to be sure that your venue staff have the room set up the way you asked. You'll also want to place your packets and other materials at each place setting before your guests arrive. Walk around the room and make sure everyone will have a clear view of you or your speaker at the front of the room.
Plan for yourself or a representative from your company to be present when the first guests will begin arriving the day of your event. You'll want to greet people and direct them to the sign-in sheet, the location of restrooms and the refreshments.

How to Host a Charity Date AuctionIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
You will need an event space, bidding paddles, a ticket desk and volunteers to run the event. Ask vendors in your local community if they would be willing to donate decorations, food or drinks. Of course, you will also need some fun-loving singles to volunteer to be auctioned off at the event. Tell participants more about your cause or organization in advance and describe what they will be expected to contribute. Speak with neighborhood restaurants and ask if they will be willing to donate the cost of a meal for two for the dates after the auction. If you are unable to secure a meal, speak with coffee shops or ice cream parlors about donating two scoops or two lattes. Have a date organized in advance for the winning bidders.
Publicity
Publicize your event widely across media platforms. Post fliers in neighborhood shops, cafes and community centers. Promote the auction through email and social media. Ask participating bachelors and bachelorettes to publicize the auction on their personal pages. Suggest that they write cute profile updates, such as “Would you like to take me on a memorable date? Ask me out at the charity bachelorette auction this Friday night at the Greenwood Community Center. All auction proceeds will be donated to the Greenwood Humane Society. I hope you will be the winning bidder!”
Appropriate Boundaries
Be sure to remind winning bidders that this is a fun, innocent, charity event. They should be made to understand that the dates have no obligation beyond the agreed upon appointment. It is expected that bachelors and bachelorettes will follow through on their dates. However, if they are made to feel uncomfortable or threatened at any time, they may end the date early. The comfort and safety of the auction participants is key.
Decide How the Auction Will Work
You can run the auction in a traditional manner. This entails having each bachelor or bachelorette walk across the stage while the emcee or auctioneer looks out to the audience for a winning bid. However, the traditional auction model can get very rowdy. If you would like to organize a quieter or calmer auction, consider running it as a silent auction. Have each bachelor or bachelorette submit a photo and a brief biography. Set out each photo and biography on a long table and allow people to write in their bids throughout the night. Towards the end of the night, announce that the silent auction will be ending in 10 minutes and ask everyone to submit their final bids. Then the emcee can read the names of the winning bidders aloud.
The Date
It is easiest to connect the winning bidder with his bachelorette and then allow them to plan their own date if the organization has not gained a donation of dinner, concert tickets or other entertainment. The event organizer can provide an exchange of the couple’s phone numbers and email addresses. Then, leave it to them to find the right place and time for their dream date. Check in with the bachelorette after the date to see how the date went. If the couple ends up being a love match, ask if you can include them in a promotion for next year’s event.

What Is an SMTP Server?In Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Mail-delivery protocols began in the 1960s and continued to become more standardized as the number of hosts grew. SMTP was defined by Jon Postel in 1982 in the publication 'RFC821.' The current widely used standards are still essentially the same. Although many changes have been proposed to enhance security, the difficulties of implementing new standards universally have stopped changes from catching on.
Function
SMTP is the standard used to send emails from email clients on personal computers. It is commonly used in conjunction with POP or IMAP servers, which recieve mail. Most email clients, including Outlook, Entourage and Thunderbird, allow the use of SMTP.
Features
By default, SMTP uses plain ASCII text to communicate with a mail server on Port 25. SMTP servers can use secure-sockets layer connections for additional security. Some SMTP servers also require authentication with a user name and password.
Expert Insight
The lack of restrictions required for SMTP connections makes it possible to create emails with false information through a DOS command prompt. These can still be traced by authorities but can appear to come from incorrect sources. This is one reason spam emails are so prevalent.
Warning
Some Internet service providers block Port 25 to prevent spam and only allow their own SMTP servers to be used on their networks. In such cases, SMTP servers using other ports may still work, or the provider may allow the port to be opened upon request.

How to Set Up a Website for a Small BusinessIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Choose a domain name, which will be the unique online location for your website. Use an online site like GoDaddy.com or NetworkSolutions.com to help you determine which sites are available. The best domain names are ones that are similar to your business name and easy to spell and remember. While .com sites are the most popular, don't overlook .net or .biz domains. Try to avoid using a domain name that would get confused with a popular website or competitor.
Secure a domain name. Once you have selected the name you'd like to use for your website, you will need to purchase it at an online hosting site like GoDaddy.com or DotEasy.com. You should also consider purchasing any related website names, such as .org, .net and .biz domains, to avoid confusion if someone sets up a website with a similar name to the one you have chosen for your business.
Purchase a web hosting package. Services like the ones mentioned above offer a variety of packages for online website and email hosting. Basic packages are available for a nominal fee. You should select your package based on specific needs, such as bandwidth, email accounts, storage needs and MySQL database need, subdomain availability and secure SLL certification. It may be beneficial to discuss your specific needs with a website designer or a web savvy friend to ensure that you purchase the best hosting package for your business.
Develop your site design and content. Before programming your website, you will need to determine its content. Information about you and your company, news items, events, blogs, photos and contact information are common components of most websites. You will also want to determine your website's navigation--how the information is presented and is accessed from one page to the next. It may be helpful to work with a professional copywriter and website designer to help you determine the best way to develop and organize content for your site.
Program your site, either using a professional website designer, an online service such as Homestead.com or iBuilt.com or an html software package like Adobe Dreamweaver. Online sites and downloadable software packages offer step-by-step instructions for website development and programming, including built-in templates, guides for downloading images and uploading content and customizable colors.
Upload your site. Once you have programmed and tested your website, you'll want to make it live. Send the link to customer and friends to help spread the word about your business. You may want to include a link for submitting feedback on your content and design to help improve your website's look and functionality.

How to Make an Online Application FormIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Create your online application with basic HTML form code. The form code allows your applicant to visit a page on your Web site and type his information directly into the browser, such as name, address, educational background or previous employment for a job application. When the user clicks 'Submit,' your Web server will transmit the form to your email address for your review. See 'Resources' for more information and the basic HTML code to create a web form.
Create a PDF form as another alternative for your online application. Adobe Acrobat Professional (version 7.0) has a tool that allows you to create 'fillable' PDF forms for display on your Web site. Upload your application form (in a word processing or spreadsheet file) to the Acrobat program. Click 'Advanced,' 'Forms' and then 'Make Forms Fillable' to pull up the tool and start creating the fillable fields for your application. The visitor can then download the PDF application to his browser, fill out the information, save it to his computer and email it to you for review.
Use SurveyGizmo's web-based form creator service to make your online application. The service helps you create the application, embed it on your Web site and even analyze the applicant's answers from your account dashboard. Create an account to start a free trial to get familiar with the service, select a template (such as the job application template) and start entering your questions for the applicant.

How to Host a Go Daddy Domain on HostGatorIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Select a domain name for your website. Take some time with this and make sure that the domain name you choose is descriptive and spelled correctly.
Navigate to Go Daddy (godaddy.com) and register your domain name.
Go to HostGator (hostgator.com) and register for a hosting plan for your website. Choose a plan that will suit your current and future goals. If you think you'll eventually have more than one blog in the near future, it's a good financial decision to purchase a plan that will let you host more than one site for one low price, rather than paying $5 per site each month.
After completing your host plan purchase, HostGator will send you a confirmation email thanking you for your purchase. The site will also send you an email with the subject line, 'Your HostGator Account Information.' Save this email (save a hard copy by using your computer printer, and save it in your email account).
Navigate to Go Daddy once again, and log in.
From the top navigation bar, click 'Domains' and select 'My domains' from the drop-down menu. A new page or tab (depending on your browser) will appear, listing all of the domains you've purchased from Go Daddy. Check the box next to the one you want to host on HostGator. After checking the box, a navigation bar will fill in above the domain name list.
Click 'Nameservers.' This will open up a new section at the top of your screen.
Select the 'Custom nameservers (I host my domains elsewhere)' radio button.
Open up the saved email that HostGator sent you and find the section that states, 'Your name servers:'
In the Go Daddy Nameservers Control Panel, replace the nameserver in the 'nameserver 1' box with the first value that HostGator sent you. It should look like XXXXXX.hostgator.com (with the Xs being your unique values that HostGator assigned).
Next, replace the nameserver in the 'nameserver 2' box with the second value that HostGator sent you. It should look like XXXXXX.hostgator.com (with the Xs being your unique values that HostGator gave you).
Click the orange 'Okay' button to finish the process.
Log in to your HostGator account. Add your Go Daddy domain to your hosting plan and you're done.
