Diet Review: You On A Diet

Sun, 27 May 2007 00:00:00 -0500

I am currently following You: On A Diet The Ownerâs Manual For Waist Management written by Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen. If you watch Oprah Winfrey regularly, youâve seen these 2 doctors many times. When I first bought the book, it scared me some, because I thought you had to follow the diet to their exact specifications. Unfortunately, I personally didnât care for the recipes in the book and I was stuck on this fact until I realized that I could adapt the food and recipes to my liking, and it has worked out well for me. The Ownerâs Manual For Waist Management reminds me a lot of the low fat diet I followed years ago, only it allows more fat, nuts, and oil - good oil like canola and olive oil. Anything from the produce department is allowed as a rule. Pre-packaged food is discouraged, but the diet police wonât come after you if you do eat it. This easy to follow diet removes the junk from your diet â the junk carbs, fat and calories. You will start to recognize high fructose corn syrup as your enemy.** End Summary**

SSL Certificates - Secure Server Certificates

Fri, 01 Dec 2006 00:00:00 -0600

What is SSL? SSL certificates are generally used with ecommerce shopping carts, or anywhere you want to collect information from a user securely on your website. If you use a secure server certificate with a form; and that form emails the results to you; keep in mind that the email is not secure. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer): Creates an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. CA (Certificate Authority): The vendor you will get the secure server certificate from CSR (Certificate Signing Request): A text file generated by a web server. A CSR looks like this: -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- MIIDGgBNAGkAYwByAG8AcwBvAGYAdAAgAFIAUwBBACAAUwB AG4AZQBsACAAQwByAHkAcAB0AG8AZwByAGEAcABoAGkAYwl L0ygNwwNIvKLMPq4/LcUkZ9Oo4AssXW5mvvhHWGz2RWYRhrw8o -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- First, you need to decide whether to use your hosting shared SSL certificate if they offer it. The URL to your store will look something like: https://theirserver.com/youruserid/your/path/to/store.html Or do you want to get your own SSL certificate? The URL will look like: https://yourdomainname.com If you decide to use your hosts' shared secure server certificate, then all you need to do is find out the path you need to use to call your files securely, and you will be on your way.** End Summary**

So you have a domain name. Now what do you do with it? Well, the obvious is to get it hosted somewhere. But how do you get it "somewhere"? How does one move their domain from one place to another? Determine where your domain name is currently hosted Domain transfers are without a doubt one of the most confusing things to a domain name owner, especially if you've never done it before and you don't have a clue as to where to start. Unfortunately it's a fact and we can't make it easy for you. But we can try to ease it up a bit. The first thing you need to do is determine where your domain name is currently hosted.

Causes Of Vertigo - Vertigo Symptoms

Sun, 07 May 2006 00:00:00 -0500

This article is written from a laymans' perspective. Always check with your doctor with any vertigo symptoms (dizziness). The first time I experienced Vertigo symptoms was right after I had a nasty bout with bronchitis. I had already missed one week of work because of it. On the day I planned on returning to work; I got up when my alarm went off and promptly hit the floor. I didn't fall to the floor because my legs were weak. I didn't even feel "bad". But I was as dizzy as you could get. Scared out of my wits - I'd never experienced any thing like this before in my life - I crawled my way to the living room and climbed into a chair. The dizziness remained. I made coffee, thinking the Vertigo symptoms would go away. They didn't and I decided to go to the emergency room. At the emergency room, (as visions of brain tumors and the like presented themselves in my mind) the doctor seemed quite confident as to what my problem was. He asked me a series of questions, ran some tests, did some blood work and gave me some Antivert.** End Summary**

Directory Submission

Fri, 21 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500

If you're anything like me, you spend hours a week submitting your website to directories, and writing emails to exchange links. And, if you're like me, you hate every second of it and you look for an easy way out at every turn. Unfortunately, there is no real easy way out - especially if you want to do it right, but I do have a couple of ideas to make your submission and exchange life easier. There is nothing like spending an afternoon finding directories, finding your specific category and then submitting your website. It's a lot of work before you even get to the submission process, and by then exhaustion sets in, not to mention being frustrated by the whole process. There are any numbers of directory lists out there, but http://info.vilesilencer.com/main.php?rock=seo-friendly.php keeps a close watch on a couple of hundred directories. He maintains an Excel spreadsheet of general and niche directories (some paid, some free) that you can download and use to keep track of your directory submissions. All directories are SEO friendly. This method is manual. Submission services are also offered.** End Summary**

Domain Name Renewals

Thu, 30 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0600

Domain registration and domain name renewals s can be loaded with problems if you are not careful in selecting your registrar and fully understanding the terms and conditions associated with renewing domain names. As a general rule, when renewing domain names - don't leave it to the last minute! Domain name renewal should occur at least 2 months ahead of expiration. Your domain name registration period will continue to run from the expiration date so you don't lose by earlier domain renewals. If you can, renew for 2 or more years at a time - this will reduce the frequency of the hassle of renewing your domain name. On the other hand; you could forget all about the registration and the domain name expires anyway! If you have multiple domains, create a spreadsheet or database - or simply a word document with your domain details and domain name renewal schedule so you always can keep track of domain expirations. Watch who you do business with. There are some shady characters out there who may either not deliver a service or will try to acquire value domains, and they'll be happy to take your money to boot.** End Summary**
