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 Pick a Website BuilderIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Read about Site Build it for Webmasters (link under Resources, below) to discover why Site Build It receives top ranks from both new website writers and experienced webmasters. I have personally used both Site Build It and cheap web hosting, and find the cost of SBI is negligible compared to the time-saving benefits provided by the website builder.
Resist the temptation to buy cheap domains at 99 cents to $10, along with inexpensive monthly web hosting, unless you have extensive HTML programming skills and search engine optimization experience. You will choose a website domain name and receive a year's web hosting with your website builder purchase.
Read reviews and success stories from others who have used the website builder, both for inspiration and to learn from their successes.
Compare Site Build It to other website builders. In my comparisons, I found that Site Build has no real competition that can match what they offer. They stay on top of Google and internet resources to ensure that you have all the tools you need to build the best website possible.

How to Publish a Website OnlineIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Purchase a domain name. Before you can even begin thinking about a publishing a website, you're going to want to have a domain name. Coming up with a good domain name can be a challenge as many of the best names are already taken. The key to selecting a good domain name is to be creative and try to find something catchy and easy to remember while still representing your website. You can search for available domain names on websites such as GoDaddy and Network Solutions, among many others. Domain names can be purchased for varying amounts of time ranging from one year to life.
Purchase a hosting plan. Once you've picked out your domain name, you'll need to decide what type of hosting plan you need. Your hosting will include how much web space your site will have, how much data transfer your site will be capable of providing, how many visitors can be on the site at one time, and how many e-mail addresses your site will have, among many other features.
Create your website. If you are new to website creation, many hosting companies offer programs that will assist you. These programs will basically let you enter everything in plain text and convert it all to HTML. This is often referred to as 'What you see is what you get.' These programs will also let you easily drop in photos and other documents. If you don't need assistance, you can use any of the various editing programs that are on the market.
Publish your site. Now that your website is created, you can publish your site simply by uploading what you have created directly into the root file of your web-hosting space. Your host will have complete instructions on how to publish to the root file.

How to Get a Free WiFi RouterIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Contact your local Internet service provider (ISP) about special bundle packages that include a free wireless router. Companies that offer DSL or cable internet may from time to time offer their service with a free modem and router. In some cases you may need to purchase the modem to get the router free. Be aware that you may also need to sign a multiyear contract agreement for internet service in order to get the free router.
Look for in-store or online sales for bundle packages. For example, if you are looking to buy a new computer, check to see if any deals come with a free wireless router. If you are shopping for a new modem, look for modems that come with a router.
Check wireless-router packaging for mail-in rebate offers that manufacturers may offer from time to time. Be sure to completely fill out the rebate form and include the original UPC and receipt with the rebate form.

How Does Web Hosting Work?In Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Before you put a Web-hosting plan to work, you need to register a domain name. Some companies offer both services as a bundle, but you can buy the two parts separately from different companies. If you shop around, you may find a better price or an uncommon top-level domain such as '.us' or '.tv' not sold at every registrar. If you buy the domain separately, you need to set the name servers on the domain registrar's website to point to the addresses provided by your Web host. These steps vary from site to site, so check your registrar's help page for specific directions.
How Shared Hosting Works
Shared hosting places your website on the same server hardware as many other websites. This setup makes shared hosting affordable but gives you no control over the server hardware and software itself. Shared hosting plans often offer perks such as unlimited bandwidth and support for multiple domain names. The major limitation to shared hosting is CPU time: Every person who connects to your website uses some of the server's processing power. If too many people connect, at the same time, especially if you have complex scripts on your site, the websites of everyone on the server slow down. Use too much CPU time and your Web host might restrict your site or force you to upgrade to a dedicated server.
Dedicated Hosting and VPS
Dedicated servers avoid the CPU restrictions on shared servers and allow you to install custom software, but they often cost far more and include restrictions on bandwidth and drive space. In most cases, whether you are buying hosting for a personal site, a blog or even a small business, you can safely start out with shared hosting. If your site becomes popular or you need to alter your server's configuration, talk to your Web host to move up to a dedicated server so you won't have to rebuild your entire site for another host. Some Web hosts sell virtual private server hosting. VPS hosting does not provide additional CPU resources, but you can install software on the server and alter its settings.
Putting Your Site to Use
Setting up a site from scratch requires a significant amount of Web design and coding experience, but there's no need to reinvent the wheel. Content management systems, such as WordPress, Drupal and MediaWiki, provide a backbone for your site so you can focus on creating content. Some Web hosts offer one-click installation of these utilities, but if yours does not, download the CMS of your choice from its website and follow the directions to put it on your server and get started. Although each CMS offers customizations, WordPress and Drupal focus primarily on sites with permanent content and few authors, such as blogs, while MediaWiki works best with frequently updated pages, such as its best-known use, Wikipedia.
Running Your Own Host
Hosting your own website from home might sound like an easy way to save money, but it requires far more tech experience. If you set up your server incorrectly, hackers flood in from all over the Internet. DIY hosting requires you to own server hardware, a potentially pricy investment if you want your site to support a large number of visitors. Check with your Internet service provider before trying to run a server, as many explicitly block the practice unless you subscribe to a business-class plan.

Before you put a Web-hosting plan to work, you need to register a domain name. Some companies offer both services as a bundle, but you can buy the two parts separately from different companies. If you shop around, you may find a better price or an uncommon top-level domain such as '.us' or '.tv' not sold at every registrar. If you buy the domain separately, you need to set the name servers on the domain registrar's website to point to the addresses provided by your Web host. These steps vary from site to site, so check your registrar's help page for specific directions.
How Shared Hosting Works
Shared hosting places your website on the same server hardware as many other websites. This setup makes shared hosting affordable but gives you no control over the server hardware and software itself. Shared hosting plans often offer perks such as unlimited bandwidth and support for multiple domain names. The major limitation to shared hosting is CPU time: Every person who connects to your website uses some of the server's processing power. If too many people connect, at the same time, especially if you have complex scripts on your site, the websites of everyone on the server slow down. Use too much CPU time and your Web host might restrict your site or force you to upgrade to a dedicated server.
Dedicated Hosting and VPS
Dedicated servers avoid the CPU restrictions on shared servers and allow you to install custom software, but they often cost far more and include restrictions on bandwidth and drive space. In most cases, whether you are buying hosting for a personal site, a blog or even a small business, you can safely start out with shared hosting. If your site becomes popular or you need to alter your server's configuration, talk to your Web host to move up to a dedicated server so you won't have to rebuild your entire site for another host. Some Web hosts sell virtual private server hosting. VPS hosting does not provide additional CPU resources, but you can install software on the server and alter its settings.

What Do I Do After Registering a Domain Name?In Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
After registering your domain name, you will need to procure hosting. You may use the same company as your domain registrar. GoDaddy and Network Solutions offer both domain and hosting services, for example. If you choose to go with a separate host, you will have to create an account with the second (host) company and pay for hosting, which is separate from domain registration. When using a separate host, you will have to enter the Domain Name System address of your host into your domain control panel so direct your domain to load your hosting account when visitors access your website.
Propagation
Propagation is the process that occurs after you purchase a new domain name or move your domain name between registrars. Whether you use the same company for hosting and registration or separate companies, you will have to wait for your domain to propagate before you or anyone else can access the website via your domain name. This process can take up to 72 hours as Internet service providers refresh their settings and some visitors will be able to access your website before others. During this time, you can access your domain to begin development from a temporary URL as provided by your host.
Development
You can begin to develop your new website whenever you wish, even if you have not yet purchased the domain name or during propagation. You may use tools such as Dreamweaver or Front Page to design your website, install content management scripts such as WordPress or even code your website from hand using code editors and Web programming such as HTML, CSS and PHP. If you save your website files to your computer, you can preview them before making them accessible via the Internet. You may also consider hiring a professional to design and develop your website if you are not familiar with Web programming. If you are moving from a previous website, you will need to download your data (pages, images, database entries and more) and transfer it to your new host via file transfer protocol, online file manager or a database tool such as PHPMyAdmin.
Publicize
Now that you own a domain name, you will want to publicize your website. Begin by adding your website to search engines such as Yahoo! and Google so that visitors can find you when searching for relevant keywords. You may want to add your new website address to relevant website profiles, email signatures and perhaps even your business cards. If you are moving websites, it is helpful to put up a permanent message on the old website to direct visitors to your new domain. You can also include a redirect code or script to automatically direct your visitors to the new website.

How to Change Web Hosting Service ProvidersIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Do your homework when deciding which host to move your website to. Moving your site to a new host is a lot of work so you don't want to have to do it too often. Choose a new web host that offers room for expansion if your business grows.
Give yourself plenty of time to make the change over to the new host. Even though it means one month of double expenses, it is a good idea to start services with your new host one month before discontinuing services with your old host. This will give you 30 days to work out any problems at the new site.
Pack up your business at your current hosting site by making copies of all of your web pages and files on CD. Arrange to have services you were using and don't need any more to be disconnected at the end of the month.
Notify your domain name registrar of your move. This is the company that you registered your ecommerce site name with. They need to know the domain name and IP address for both your old web host and your new one.
Set up your site at your new web host by uploading all of the pages and files you packed onto CD. Start any new services that you need in your new home.
Notify your customers of your new email address if it changed when you moved to the new hosting site. Set up mail forwarding with your new web host to ensure that any mail sent to your old email address will be forwarded.

How to Add Ads to My Web PageIn Feburary 2016 05,
In Feburary 2016 05,
Make sure your web host will let you put ads on the page. Some free web hosting providers already have their own ads on the page or will not allow you to put Javascript on the page. If you can’t put ads on your existing web page, you will need to switch to another web hosting provider.
Join an advertising program. Write down your username and password; you will need them each time you sign in to the program website.
Log into the advertising program website and set up your account. Read the support pages to learn how to generate HTML code for ads and to select the types and sizes of ads you want to display on your web page.
Generate and copy the HTML code for an ad or ad group. You can copy the code by selecting the code and then choosing “Copy” from the 'Edit' menu of your web browser.
Open your web page in an HTML editor. Paste the copied HTML code into your web page at the place you want the ad to appear. You can control the position and appearance of the ads on your web page. Paste in the copied code by selecting “Paste” from the 'Edit' menu of your HTML editor. Save the file when you finish making changes.
Upload the web page to your web hosting account. View the page online to make sure the ads appear correctly. If they don’t, revise the HTML code, save the file and upload it again.

How to Host a Tupperware PartyIn Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
Get in touch with a Tupperware consultant in your area (see Resources below). This person will help you with the all the details of planning and hosting your Tupperware party.
Discuss the type of Tupperware party you plan to host. Decide on a theme, choose whether to host your party indoors or out, and determine the number of potential guests. Work out these details with your Tupperware consultant.
Send out invitations for your Tupperware party well in advance of the event. Make sure you include the date, time, place and any other pertinent information, such as directions or special instructions. In addition, include your phone number or email address with a date to RSVP.
Anticipate that not every person will respond with an RSVP by the date requested. With that in mind, expect that you'll have to call some of the people on your invitation list to confirm their attendance.
Think about menu planning once you have a good idea of how many people will be attending your Tupperware party. Depending on the type of party you're planning to host, you should consider whether simple snacks or a buffet style meal will be in order.
Expect your Tupperware party consultant to arrive early on the day of your party to help you set up.
Relax on the day of your party. You'll be playing host to your guests, of course, but your Tupperware consultant will do the rest in terms of demonstrating all the products and taking orders.
Reap your rewards. The more orders from your party, the more Tupperware products you'll receive in return.

Should a Mother of the Bride Buy a Gift for the Wedding Shower?In Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
There is no universal rule about whether or not the mother of the bride should provide a gift for her daughter's wedding shower because every family is different. There are, however, several considerations. If the mother hosts the event, which includes paying for the decorations and catering out of her own pocket, it's acceptable for her not to provide a gift for the occasion because it is understood that she has paid a substantial amount of money (and invested a great deal of time) to organize and hold the event. If she hosts the event and still wishes to contribute a gift, she could give a gift that is inexpensive but has sentimental value, such as an heirloom that has been in the family for many years.
If the Mother Doesn't Host
If the bridal shower is held at a location other than the mother's house, and she hasn't played an active role in organizing the event, it is expected that she contribute a gift for her daughter's special day. This gift is separate from the wedding gift and traditional shower gifts include small appliances, household items and lingerie.
Dependent on Wedding Gift
The mother's contribution of a bridal shower gift can be dependent on the gift she's giving her daughter for the wedding. If the bride's mother is contributing a significant financial or material gift, such as paying for a portion of the wedding or honeymoon, it is acceptable for her to provide a smaller gift at the shower. As is the case when she hosts the event, an appropriate small gift may be something that has been passed down through the family.
Give Something
It's never a bad idea for the mother to contribute something to the occasion, even if she has spent a great deal of time and money organizing and hosting the shower. If the bride-to-be is close with her mother, she will appreciate a gift on this special day. Whether it's an expensive present or a priceless family memento, the bride will be happy to receive a gift from her mother at the bridal shower.
