Hello Folks,

Here we are, another week gone by and what's in the news?
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.

Starting Out On The Internet
by: Robert Fox
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have a web site on the Internet yet? 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>
