| Internet Safety Advice : Deceptive Text Links |
| 2008-03-15 00:48:44 |
On the Internet, we all come across text links that are linked to other pages/sites. When these links are clicked they take us to a new destination. for example [ http://www.google.com/ ], link takes you to google homepage as expected. However, a harmless looking text link could be a deceptive link that could lead to a site specifically set up for stealing personal information.Here's an example of what Iam talking abouthttp://www.google.com/.The above link takes you to the yahoo homepage instead of google.com. As HTML coders will point out, links are constructed with two pieces of vital information : destination url and anchor textAnchor text is displaye...

| Internet Safety for Girls |
| 2008-02-27 08:52:26 |
Here we discuss some general Internet Safety Issues and steps to take to improve security on the internet.One of the most common ways by which Internet Security is compromised is by using a bug-ridden internet browser. It raises serious security concerns when a malicious hacker targets a known vulnerability in the browser. It is therefore recommended that you use a safer browser that is less prone to attacks. I have used FireFox+Google Toolbar for quite a while, I strongly recommend that you download and try it. You will see that with the help of the google toolbar, it is able to block annoying popups too. FireFox, is and always was free to use and can be uninstalled easily if you arent impressed with it.Once the browser is secured, you should get the of...

| Blogger Polls |
| 2008-02-10 12:48:07 |
A polling system is very essential to a blog. My observations are that visitors interact with the website using a voting system more than they do using comment system or sending email. This could be due to the "laziness factor" as interacting with the voting sytem takes just a click or two. Therefore my recommendation is to have a blog poll on your blog for making your visitors interact with your website/blog, keeping their laziness factor in mind.The poll that I found attractive enough to include in my blogs is from http://www.dpolls.comHere are others that you can try as well :http://www.blogpoll.com/http://www.polldaddy.com/http://www.vizu.com/index.htmlhttp://www.pollpub.com/http://www.addpoll.com/http://www.blogpolls.com/...

| Blogger Hits Counter |
| 2008-02-10 12:19:20 |
One of the most important things that you can put on your blog is a "hit counter" or visitor tracking sytem which will give you most valuable information on which pages are being viewed most, what search engines are being used to find your page, what keywords are making your page stand up on search results, what is the geographical location of your visitors etc.You can use this information to improve and customize your page for your visitors. Earlier having a free hit counter on your page meant that you had to have a visible banner/button/link on your page but nowdays there are many free invisible hit counters that you can put on your blog. My personal favorites are Google Analytics and Statcounter. or Google Analytics You can also try out the following free services :http://www.sitemeter....

| Image Hosting for Bloggers |
| 2008-02-10 12:15:47 |
Whenever you need to post an image on your blog, you will need to upload a photo to blogger directly. That however does not give you much freedom to work with the image and even renaming the image is not quite possible. It is therefore recommended to have a Image Hosting account for use with your blog. The good news is that there are many free image hosting providers that give you good features at absolutely no cost. My personal favourite is Photobucket, but below is a list of other free image hosting providers that you can use to post images on your blog. Many of them are now allowing free video hosting as well. Some of them will not require you to register with them too.http://photobucket.com ( Images + Videos ) http://www.imagecabin.com/ ( Images + Video...

| FavIcon for Bloggers |
| 2008-02-10 12:11:53 |
What is Favicon?Favicon is an acronym for "Favorite Icon". Nearly all professional sites use it nowdays. As it shows up right next to the address line of the adressbar and favorites list in Internet Explorer and probably on other browsers too. If you have your pages hosted either on paid hosting or free hosting, hosting the favicon is not a problem, however if you are using a blog service, you are out of luck as all blog providers would reject the *.ico extension. This is where you need a free service provider such as http://www.myfavatar.com/Use this smart tool to get a favicon from an image stored on your disk. you can get an animated favicon using this free favicon tool.
