More tragedy, and yet another computer virus. Another school is the scene of one of the worst tragedies yet. Why?? That is a question that will be asked over and over in the coming months. There is no easy answer. Why do people do what they do? And just kids, yet?? Again - no one can answer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those families who had loved ones injured or killed at Columbine High School. Well, I suppose by now you've heard about the Chernobyl(CIH) Virus. This is a data destroying virus that attacks the hard drive as well as can erase the Master Boot Record. This virus is scheduled for April 26. Actually, on the 26th of every month the CIH virus becomes active. But this month its most wide spread version becomes active. This is a Taiwanese virus that became know in May of 1998, but it is version 1.2 -- which only triggers on April 26th -- is the prevalent version that continues to be spread throughout the Internet and other means. The best defense against this and other viruses is to have anti virus software and keep it up to date. If you don't keep your anti virus software updated your machine could become infected without your knowing it. Also, be sure to backup your data. Panda Antivirus Software detects and disinfects any CIH version. Panda has also decided to make available a free disinfection routine available for registered and non registered users. If you are a registered user you can easily update your software. Once updated, be sure to run a complete scan of your system, files and email files. You can download a copy of Panda Shareware at http://www.bizjunction.com/panda.htm You can get the update for the non registered shareware version here http://pandasoftware.com/indexplo.htm Be sure to read all the instructions on installing the fix to the shareware version. ************************************* How secure is your secure server and the information it holds? ABC News, The L.A. Times and others have reported there are potential security holes existing with some web stores if the shopping cart software was not properly installed. It is an installation problem not a problem with the particular software. If the software has been improperly installed, the information collected ends up being stored on an exposed page. This information can then be picked up by anyone's browser. This difficulty can relatively easily be corrected. Webmasters should contact their software vendor and ask them to check the security of their pages. If a security hole is discovered, the vendor is usually very agreeable to help fix the problem. After all, they want your help is selling their software and want you to continue to use their software. Most of the vendors who sell the software this security problem affects have been notified and are trying to contact their customers to alert and help them fix it if necessary. The Web Host should be eager to assist also. I have had my site checked and no security problems were found. But, I had a similar discovery when I first set up the secure portion of my site. I found that it was easy to access the secure page directly from the browser without going through the site. I immediately contacted support and they very quickly eliminated the security hole. If in doubt, check with the software vendor or your ISP. Your customers will appreciate your assurance that your site is secure for e-commerce transactions. ============================================ Classified Ads TRIPLE YOUR MONEY BACK if this product doesn't do what it's name says.

If not, why? If you are serious about doing business then you should be doing business globally. Your potential to make more sales and reach millions of people is right at your fingertips. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting Started ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Designing a Website ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Should you build one yourself or hire a professional? Well, that depends on how deep your pockets are or are not. If you have more time than cash, then you should design, market, promote and update your own website. This newsletter is here to help anyone who wants to pave the road to his or her own success. First, you will need a Hypertext Markup Language (html) program. Don't worry, these programs which are used to design web pages are very easy to use. The best way to find a good HTML editing program is to try some of the free downloads that are available. The try-before-you-buy method is always the best way to determine which program is best for you. The average price for html programs is between fifty dollars to a few hundred dollars. Below are some product reviews and trial downloads. I do not endorse any of the products below. I do use Frontpage 98 because it is easy to use and it comes with a great graphics program and an animation program. FrontPage 98 Trial CD costs a couple dollars http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/ Pagemill (Free trial download) http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/pagemill/main.html HotDog (Free trial download) http://www.sausage.com/ NetObjects Fusion http://www.netobjects.com/products/html/nof.html HotMetal Pro (Free trial Download) http://www.softquad.com/ After downloading and installing the program, you will want to learn as much as possible with the software. Read the help files; see if there are any tutorials, wizards or templates to help jumpstart the learning process. After a few days or weeks, you should be able to determine if that program suits your needs. Again try as many different programs as you can. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While designing your web site keep in mind the following: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Each web page title should be well thought out, because when you submit your site to the search engines, your title will be one of the first things potential visitors will see. HTML code for title tags looks like this: <title>New information on marketing revealed</title> META TAGS - Meta Tags are used to help enhance a website's chance of being "found" by search engines and directories when a search has been initiated. Meta tags may consist of a string of keywords or a descriptive paragraph. Use keywords and descriptions that pertain to your website's content. Meta tags should be placed after the "head" tag in a document as follows: <HEAD> <title>New information on marketing revealed</title> <META Name="description" Content="Write your description here"> <META Name="keywords" Content="Keywords or phrases, separated by commas"> </HEAD> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (C) Copyright 1999 by Robert Fox of RDF Publishing How-to marketing for the newbie to the novice.
