I am starting a freelance web developement business. What is fair compensation?

I know that there is probably a startup cost of about $50 - $75 per page, but is there a monthly maintenance fee in addition to that, or how is it usually done?





- Hosting not included


-Maintenance meaning keeping the site up to date and updating it according to the customer's needs.

Those rates seem fair. The maintance fee is based on your time. You should charge no less than $100 per hour.


I need to build a web site. Which program should I use and why? Dreamweaver? FrontPage? Other?

I would like to build a site for a family run hotel. Nothing fancy, but my only requirements would be for frequent updates and a page to collect reservation information, such as which days, email, phone #, address, names, etc - it would *not* be an online reservation system. Any recomendations on a good "off the shelf" program that would preferably be compatible with Yahoo hosting. Thanks!
I need to build a web site. Which program should I use and why? Dreamweaver? FrontPage? Other?
Frontpage is easy and a fast publisher, easy to use with database.





Frontpage cannot create flash, jpeg, png, gif files.. those are all multimedia files created by various other applications.





dreamweaver is high end web designing software.





you probably won't need dreamweaver.
I need to build a web site. Which program should I use and why? Dreamweaver? FrontPage? Other?
use frontpage, and contract a mailer for collecting info
Reply:frontpage is simple and easier,but dreamweaver is the best.problem is that it ll take quite long time to learn how to build a site with dreamweaver..so focus on frontpage..
Reply:I use Notepad, but I also drive a stick shift and have the last manual-focus 35mm film camera in Stanislaus County.





Since I maintain the web site for my church, I subscribe to a mailing list for church web site keepers in my denomination. Most of their sites make mine look like child's play and apprentice work, but my content has better puns.





Their collective opinion is that Front Page makes horrible, bloated ugly code; every time you scratch your ear it throws in another %26lt;font%26gt; tag, and if you don't watch it carefully it will fix the text size so your visitors cannot adjust it to suit their needs. It throws in "聽" every time you breathe, too.





Most of them like Dream Weaver.


I have recently started a web design business and am looking for any tips or advice that may help?

I am looking for tools/tips to making a professional website, as well as tools/tips on flash, flash intros, hosting, free/inexpensive flash tools.
I have recently started a web design business and am looking for any tips or advice that may help?
I found the most time consuming was creation of graphics. I have Adobe Photoshop, COrel and Macromedia software but the MOST productive software is XARA Webstyle and also try Swish and SwishMAX (for Flash) and is much easier to use than FLASH. XARA is great for QUICK graphics. Look them up on the internet or be nicer and go to my website and click the links to XARA so I can get an affiliate bonus, either way - you have to try XARA. www.smithcreations.com


Need help designing a web site?

I am trying to develop a website for Nashville moms. I have no idea where to start. I have already bought the hosting package and domain and everything but I need help with the designing because I don't know how to create login and account setup and stuff like that... www.cafemom.com is an example of what I am going for. Can anyone help me?
Need help designing a web site?
For account setup and logins you will need a database, to store account info etc..


If you dont know PHP/MYSQL you will need someone to do this for you , or you'll need to get a tutorial.





If you just want a login area to protect parts of the site.. then use Bravenet.com, they have lots of free website tools, as well as premium services.





Hope that helps.





PS. Lee's suggestion is good for the design, but please keep in mind that images on the cafemom website and possibly the design will have copyrights attached... You may potentially be opening yourself up for a lawsuit if you keep/use any of the images.

when u kno tell me too:


thedeceptiveultimatum@hotmail.com (plz plz plz!)
Reply:When you are on the web site www.cafemom.com , save the files to a directory for each page you look at. Save the graphics in the same place.





You need a webpage program for doing web pages. Load each .html file one by one and edit to suit your needs and taste, then save them. Once you have everything done, then you can upload it to a free web hosting site.
Reply:Begin with setting up your own webpage as your current internet provider will provide free hosting as discussed below.





If you are currently a paid Internet subscriber, you are entitled to a "homepage" which often contains simple navigation and editing tools. And if you use the Netscape browser, the built-in Composer feature is a superior HTML authoring tool which is totally free. You can easily generate a full-blown website as a Homepage.





Nevertheless, the "homepage" URL is likely to be "http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscribe... name" and that URL can easily be overwritten via a redirection service, i.e., "mydomain.com" which allows you to link any registered domain name to "mask" another website. For example, should you type in the "domain name," you will be immediately transported to the homepage and the hompage URL of http://homepage.earthlink.com/subscriber... a homepage URL which will be masked by the domain name. And the charge for the redirection service [even at godaddy.com] is normally FREE.





When you acquire a domain name, connect it using a redirection service [as discussed above] and submit/publish the domain name on major search engines/directories in order for Net surfers to find your website.





Good luck!
Reply:The best way i can think of is to get a server that you can put your own program on, that way you can have login names/passwords, a place for them to upload their pics, and then a place for them to put there stories on the and then they could edit them to. there is a way to set up a site but my understanding you would have to have them email you there pics and then you would have to put them up your self, and by having your own server program they can do it themselves, but you would need to hire someone to make the program for you unless you know how to do it yourself.

Help with uploading a web page please?

i'm a complete novice. i have a hosting package and have written a basic homepage with html in notepad. i uploaded it into a folder called public_html on my ftp address that i was provided with. this worked fine but now i want to update it. i've repeated the process, deleted my orignal upload from the publi folder and placed my new html folder in but nothing has changed on my site. how do i update it please.





sorry if this is gobblegook, i'm a complete novice
Help with uploading a web page please?
If you are using an programming and uploading the file to the public_html, you shouldn't have any problems. I would check to make sure the file(s) have the exact name and extention (.html) it should (index.html for the main page) or that you are dropping it in to the right place (the main file).





Try refreshing the page in your browser also. What do you "see" online when you go to the page you've uploaded?
Help with uploading a web page please?
It sounds like you've performed all the right steps. Go to your browser, hold down Control and Shift, and while doing so click reload/refresh.





If that doesn't resolve the problem, did you have to do anything after your initial FTP to make the page display? You may have to repeat it every time you upload.
Reply:make sure that you've manually refreshed your browser. you could still have to old page cached locally in your browser. go the the your page's URL and then manually refresh with F5 or the refresh button. that should help.


I'm starting a Web site for professional purposes, how can I find what I need?

I need:


- A domain name.


- A hosting service.


- (most important): open source software for establishing a community (discussion area, download area, blog area, user management...).


- anything else?
I'm starting a Web site for professional purposes, how can I find what I need?
In many cases your Internet Service Provider will offer a small amount of free hosting, but that鈥檚 usually sufficient for getting started. If you discover that you need more than what they provide both Yahoo and Godaddy.com offer hosting packages along with a domain name registration service.





As for designing the site, you didn't mention if you knew HTML or if you had a web page editor, but many web hosts offer easy to use tools for setting up your first site. You鈥檒l soon outgrow them, though, and want something better so I would suggest learning HTML and try picking up the free Matrix Y2K to use as an HTML editor. You can find it here:





http://www.crystalfibers.com/index.php?t...





If you decide to get more professional Macromedia鈥檚 Contribute and Dreamweaver are excellent WYSIWYG web editors.





For many beginners, the best way to start is with a free account on Blogger.com or a paid, but very cheap, account on Typepad.com. You鈥檒l get web hosting, easy to use content tools, and many other benefits.





But if you want to sell anything online you may need an e-commerce solution. I recommend going to someone like Clickbank.com or Yahoo Merchant Services at store.yahoo.com. They鈥檒l help you get your ecommerce site up and running.

A good host provides all that, check out appliedi! 99.9% uptime over the last 7 years here.
Reply:I agree with bob, one of the other users that has answered your question. I've been using http://www.startlogic.com as my web host. Last time I checked, they had a promotion where you can get 2 years hosting for $50. This includes upto 5 databases, open source software (WordPress blog, PHP-BB, ecommerce etc.). You can access all these features via the easy to use vdeck control panel.





I'm sure many other hosts provide pretty much the same features, but this is the only one I have experience with.





Best of luck!!

How do you do web pages?

Hello can anyone help me on something i have a small biz and i wanna do a webpage with free hosting can someone tell me good spot to go to thank you.
How do you do web pages?
If you are serious about websites either for personal or your business, don't go to free web hosting as they are usually not reliable and you may end up losing all your hard work. Free web hosts usually put advertisements on your websites and it could be annoying.





If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months' time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.





I would like to suggest following webhosting , they are excellent.

Domains


Following site is quite good to register domains as price is reasonable with free privacy. Some charge about $5/ year just for free privacy.





IPOWER http://www.anurl.com/?TXIBE
How do you do web pages?
there are many free web host that have WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors that come with your site. tripod and angelfire are two that come to mind, just off the top of my head. Tripod comes with pop ups though, and angelfire has banner ads.





It depends a lot on if you just want a web page, or if you want a complete multipage website, what you want it for, and how technical and snazzy you want to get.





You could always download a trial version of Macromedia Dreamweaver to build you web page/site. It is a lot like using MS Word or the likes, when in design mode. There are several places online that you can download website templates and edit them in Dreamweaver.





Then upload to your web host. just make sure you change the links to the site domain. Unless, you take advantage of the ftp feature in Dreamweaver.





Hope that helps some, though I imagine you most likely find it all confusing if you are just starting web-design. I did when I started. I would say the best advice is just get a good HTML reference (you might find some online, just google, or search yahoo) and jump on in.





You might try checking into www.pureportals.com. they even have a shopping cart interface for your site. or you could maybe look into setting up a paypal account.
Reply:You really don't want to go with a free web hosting provider. If you do, you could end up serving your competitors advertisements.





If you just want to hang a sheet out there, you can use a free blogging service like:





http://livejournal.com/


http://blogspot.com/





As for selecting an actual hosting provider...





You should really spend some time making this decision. Don't just go with the first one you see. Bug them a bit, see how friendly they are before picking one.





Most important of all is getting a separate registrar for your domain name. I use 1and1 for the domain name but I use another provider for the actual host. This way, if I should ever decide to move hosting providers, I can change the settings with 1and1.com and keep my domain name. For the actual web host, I use a VPS. (probably more than you'd need for a small business)





Once you establish your domain name, you don't want to loose it if something goes wrong. Keeping the registrar and hosting provider as two different companies will go a long way toward shielding you from damages.





When picking a hosting provider, you actually want a small one, you'll get friendly service that way. Larger hosts can be reluctant to help you when you get into problems. Since you kept your registrar with a separate company, you get to keep your domain name if this small company goes belly-up for any reason. Friendly service w/out the risks!

Looking for a free web template, for a small business, that is easy to set up (read- an idiot could use it).?

I have already registered a domain name and signed on with a hosting company but do no like any of their templates. Once I design the site, how do I link to my domain name?
Looking for a free web template, for a small business, that is easy to set up (read- an idiot could use it).?
You can try some of the templates at http://live.office.com





They have many options for small businesses and they have a free basic option. You can get ideas from their templates and go ahead design around that.





After that you just have to upload to your hosting company, and point your domain name to the hosting company's ip address and path.





CORRECTION: I meant http://office.live.com

What percentage of the web's domains are empty, parked pages?

Everytime I want to buy a specific domain it is inevitably owned by someone else. The trouble is, when I look at their site I am usually met with a generic hosting park page that holds no content. I want to know what percentage of the registered domains on the internet aren't actually serving meaningful content. Cheers

To set up an rss feed, you can use feedburner.com and use addthis.com to setup a bookmark on your post.





to get new posts by email, you need to use autoresponder. You can use a free one at freefollowup.com and to set up anonymous comment, just go to your blogger settings. I think it's somewhere on the comments section.


Should I install Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) or SQL Express on my dedicated server?

Should I install Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) or SQL Express on my dedicated server?
Visual web developer express is a tool used to create code of a web application like the user interface. This is something you usually develop on your own machine and then deploy on your server. You don't install it on your server.





SQL express is a database system for storing information that your database application would use. This is the one you can put on your server and use to power your web applications.





So develop the application with web developer on your personal computer, install SQL express on your dedicated server, and when you are done then you can deploy your web application project on your web server to interact with SQL express.





You will have to consult your Dotnetnuke documentation to make sure it will work with IIS 6 and SQL express editions (I don't see an immediate problem but you never know).





Hope this works for you. Good luck

Instead we give flat rates. We try our best to be the most affordable and still support our selves paying bills LOL.





If we can't do the job or can't fix it we let you know and we don't charge. Why would someone be charged if nothing is done? That's dumb, and bad business practice. Hello, report those b@stards to the BBB!

I hope this hasn't ruined your image of ALL web designers or IT people for that matter, there are still honest up front people in those fields. Of course alot of us do tend to be lazy LOL, but that's no excuse for what you went through.

Design is bogus.... can give 2$... not more.





Some observations


1) "Home Sitemap Contact" at the top are not working....


2) The forms that come after clicking on "Contact US" and "Feed back" should not allow empty fields to be accepted... its allowing blank information to be sent right now.


3) After clicking "Testimonials" the loaded page has no gap/space between the text and the picture.


4) The header can be made a narrow... its too large... kills the page... if its narrow then complete information can be viewed without scrolling down.

I'm a web designer. what details should I include in my portfolio site?

when accepting clients, rearding the hosting service. Should I be the one to control the cpanel? Should the name be registered to the client and they will be the one to manage the bills(payment)? What about the username and password, should I be the one to manage the account? Changing settings, etc. And is it really important for me to maintain the site? How about the pricing? I don't want to charge a large or neither a small amount. How much is the right price for a basic website? For a site with flash? for an online store?


I'm going to create my own portfolio site but I don't know what to do yet. I don't know how to manage everything. Please help me.
I'm a web designer. what details should I include in my portfolio site?
OK, first. Maintenance Contact. that makes sure that you are getting paid for that extra work. get paid for maintaining client's hosting and domain names. coz everytime the clients email goes down, or the hosting goes down (which would be hardly) they will hassle you. having said that, dont overdo it. because you still want to maintain that relationship with them.


Now, your rates. dont keep it low, or else you become cheap. dont be too high coz then you wont get them. keep it high enough, showing you are doing quality work for quality price. i have a motto, you can only get two of these three: quality, price, time. prices: one pager exclusively designed $120, but give a discount for 10/20 page site. coz all the pages will obviously be templated. flash is expensive. one pager - $150 - $200. ecommerce on the other hand, you make your own rule there. i go by programming time. if i am customizing a shopping cart, then i would charge my HTML design rate per page.


Portfolio: create a flash portfolio, online and a cd. that way, you can give the cd's to potential clients, but have most details online. give your best shot for the portfolio cd.put in everything you know. it pays off.
I'm a web designer. what details should I include in my portfolio site?
You must include the websites you made as template for Demo.


You can also do this-


1} Add free scripts in your web for other developers.


2}add free backgrounds.


3}Add free Fireworks or Buttons.


ETC.
Reply:In your portfolio you give the URL's of the websites you have designed, and about the management stuff well professionally we are the one managing the website for the client once we make them and we don't charge them once and for all we charge them according to there needs if they want us to manage thier website what we do is we make a MAINTAINENCE CONTRACT with them.





For a site with Flash, well an static page can cost upto $100, so you can have a Flash page to $150

Libel protection for web venture soliciting feedback on managers?

I am interested in setting up a website which would allow people to rate their prior bosses and managers on a variety of standard managment criteria. I would also like to solicit comments to round out the feedback. The intent would be to highlight the excellent managers, and allow the many individual contributors to have a voice in providing feedback on the bad managers who seem to have an uncanny ability to 'fail upward'.





I am interested in finding out how and where I should incorporate to best protect myself from any personal liability that might result from such a venture. (Including offshore LLC's that my do a better job of providing a shield from litigation).





Secondly, I am interested in finding out whether there are certain hosting locations that might provide a more advantageous legal environment for such a venture.





Lastly, I am interested in knowing whether I am exposing myself to greater risk by offering access to the comments for a fee.





Please advise.





Thanks

Libel protection for web venture soliciting feedback on managers?
based on similar such sites such as hatehimgirl, etc where people say what cheating lying horrible people ex-boyfriends or girlfriends are and the case law surrounding these sites... you have no liability simply for being the web site operator/host. You are simply providing the format for people to express their opinions. As long as you dont endorse their opinions or otherwise make claims as to the truth of their opinions you should be fine


Where do you go to get a domain name & hosting for a short time (1-6 months)?

I want to have a domain name and presence on the web using the home address of the home I have listed for sale. If it sells quickly I don't want to be tied into a contract and I will need to remove the domain name.

Where do you go to get a domain name %26amp; hosting for a short time (1-6 months)?
try at www.godaddy.com. Even if you have to do a full year... it's very cheap... and you can cancel, although I am not sure if you can get a refund of unused money
Reply:You can go through Yahoo, around $12 a month, and can cancel at any time. There is a $25 set up fee, but when we signed up the fee was waived.





http://smallbusiness.att.yahoo.com/webho...
Reply:GoDaddy.com is the best, you can get a domain name there cheap and cheap 2 month hosting which you can renew for another 2 months if you need to. There is also a 10% off coupon for GoDaddy.com at http://www.mrdealfinder.com/godaddy-coup... you can use to save 10% off hosting and domain!


What is my web servers url?

Exactly what ip address do I use for my site that im hosting on my home computer? Do I use the routers address with a : and then the port? Do i use my computersaddress? I have been searching for days and everyone tells how to do everything else but how to point my site to my domain. Thanks Jason
What is my web servers url?
you have to bind it to your public ip address, that's if you pay for one, if you don't, you cant publish a website. if you do ask your isp for it, that's simple enough, or you can crack your head and go through your router's conf.





Cheers.
What is my web servers url?
i would strongly advise against hosting on your machine unless you have some good protection against DNS/DOS attacks


if you really want to host i would do some resarch on apache server, this will host the site on your machine and then u get a domain and register but without hosting and that will have a re-direct to your external ip address.. but you need to have a static ip address from your isp, or u would need to keep changing it with the domain.

It's the most popular web server in the world, and it's also free open source. It may even already be installed on your linux box, depending on your installation choices.

We had a 2nd party put a website together for us and now we need to make it live. How do we do that and also start the hosting?
Getting our Web sit set up on our Domain we purchased from you?
from the 'we purchased from you' part of your question i think you may have mistaken what yahoo! answers is.





yahoo! staff don't actually frequent this forum, we are users of yahoo! services like yourself who provide help to other users so if you're saying you bought a domain from yahoo! and and want help with setting up a website for it, you'll need to contact yahoo! or check out their help pages for further assistance:


http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbu...





this page is probably the best startting point:


http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbu...





the general process for linking a website not hosted by your domain name hosts is to login to the domain name control panel then adjust your domain name servers to point to where your site is hosted - all of that should be covered on the links.

Need a web designer for help? images files for my webbsite?

so i made a webpage using using dreamweave, after i transfer the files to my hosting account at go daddy.com for my website, only the text show up on my webpage not the images. what do i do to mak my images show too?
Need a web designer for help? images files for my webbsite?
Make sure your folder structure is the same on your home computer as on your web host. In other words, if your images are in a folder called "images", create a folder called "images" on godaddy.com and upload your image files there.
Need a web designer for help? images files for my webbsite?
are you uploading the images also? You have to upload EVERYTHING related to the site for it to work (ie images, scripts, html files)
Reply:You have to upload your images along with your html file. Make sure you link your images using a relative url.


What are the best sites for free website hosting?

Preferably with minimal or least intrusive advertising. Also, preferably with minimal restrictions on java, etc. Some effective, intuitive tools would be nice. I haven't made a web site in about six years, when I used straight html, so my abilities are a bit dated.





Thanks!
What are the best sites for free website hosting?
If you are serious about websites either for personal or your business, don't go to free web hosting as they are usually not reliable and you may end up losing all your hard work. Free web hosts usually put advertisements on your websites and it could be annoying.





If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months' time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.





I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.





Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend...





They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.


Visit the site to check details.

Question for web developers?

when a small business hires someone to create a website for their business, does the business normaly also hire the person to manage it monthly as far as adding content and paying the monthly hosting. have no idea that once the site was made the developer just hands over the domain passwords and says "all done and pay this place every month". never was really sure how they worked that out.





If it makes any difference, i am just talking about a small local business that doesnt require much change in content on a monthly basis. maybe little but some.
Question for web developers?
If it does not require much change you can ask the web developer to provide you an interface (something simmilar to blogger.com) so that you can update your website yourself.


It may be better if you put your web project requirements clearly in freelance websites like http://getafreelnacer.com/ and let many web developers bid for your project and then you may hire whoever you like.
Question for web developers?
yes sir that is usually the way it works. email me at therealcamron@charter.net i can help you out if you need a website made. (yea i wanna get paid buddy. not much just depends on what you want me to do)
Reply:yes, you hire someone to design your site and pay them monthly for maintness and you web hosting
Reply:I think a better way is to make a contract saying that the developer will be available for a certain period of time, utmost 6 months to be available for small/minor changes at least twice a month. The best? get someone you know, pay him/her for the site, and i'm sure you won't have a hard time to call in a favor for some changes from time to time. well, that's what I would do in your place. ;) Goodluck!
Reply:This varies upon the developer, the small business hiring them, and many other factors.





The nice thing about web development as a career/industry, is it is extremely flexible.





When my company performs design and development services we work with the client to do what is best for them.





For clients who have little to no technical proficiency, I often find or provide hosting, design, development, and content updates.





For more tech saavy clients, I provide design and development and offer to host and update content.





Sometimes there's a middle ground where we do not host, but build (or implement) a content management system for the client, so they can easily make updates to the code without needing to know XHTML, CSS, or other programming.





It always depends on the clients needs, at least in my book, and any developer worth their salt should be able build or implement a content management system and give you control of your content, just expect to pay for it.





Also, I highly recommend keeping your domain names and hosting accounts in your name or your business' name. I've had clients in the past trust the wrong people, and we've had to go to court to get their domains/websites back.





Good luck!

The bwlow mail recd from Microsoft Award Team for winning notification. It is true or not. Pls advice.?
this is a total SCAM!!!!!


microsoft(or yahoo or google) DO NOT run sweepstakes or lotteries. they want your ID %26amp; bank account details %26amp; then they will rob you!!!!


ignore this %26amp; any other internet "lotteries".


delete them immediatly, don't let curiosity get the better of you!! don't even respond to it , just DELETE!!
Reply:It's an ongoing SCAM. You receive an unsolicited email, which states that you have won a major prize in an international lottery. Supposedly, your email address was collected online and attached to a random number that was subsequently entered in a draw for the lottery. In order to claim your prize, you are instructed to contact the official "agent" in charge of your case. You are also advised to keep the win confidential for "security reasons". This part of the scam is basically a random phishing expedition. If you respond in any way to the email, the scammers will send further messages or even contact you by phone in an attempt to draw you deeper into the scam.





You may be asked to provide banking details, a large amount of personal information, and copies of your driver's licence and passport. Ostensibly, these requests are to prove your identity and facilitate the transfer of your winnings. However, if you comply with these requests, the scammers will have enough information to steal your identity.





Sooner or later, the scammers will request some sort of advance fee supposedly to cover administration, legal or delivery costs. At its core, this scam is just a reworking of the Nigerian loan fraud, in which scammers also eventually ask for upfront fees to facilitate the "deal". Like Nigerian scams, victims who do actually pay the requested fees will probably find that they receive continuing payment demands to cover "unexpected expenses". The requests for money will go on until the victim realizes what is happening or has no further money to send.





In some cases, the scammers give victims the option of opening an account at a particular bank as an alternative to paying upfront fees. However, this "bank" which is completely bogus, will insist on an initial deposit of $3000 as a requirement for opening the account. The fake bank will have a legitimate looking website to reinforce the scam. In other cases, the victim is given the option of travelling to an overseas destination and paying a cash fee to facilitate the release of the funds. However, any "winnings" released to the victim will be counterfeit and therefore worthless.





The details of the lottery scams vary regularly with regard to the name of the lottery itself, the country of origin, the sponsoring organization, the amount of the "prize" and other particulars. The scammers try to add a patina of legitimacy to their claims by mentioning real financial institutions, government departments or well-known companies. They may also provide links to slick looking, but fraudulent websites that are designed to back up information included in the scam emails. If the scammers are successful in establishing a dialogue with a potential victim, they may provide "proof" such as a scanned image of a supposed government official's ID and even photographs of the "winnings" in cash.

Is microsoftaward winning 2007 of Crydon London UK. is real or fake?
This is a Nigeria scam. Yahoo/MSN, U.K. and Australian lotteries, football lotteries from the same counties, Global-Link, World Poverty, Microsoft, Free Lotto, which now seems to have it's own people answering gambling questions on this site claiming they have won which is a total lie, and hundreds more. I am a retired Police Officer that has years of experience investigating Internet scams and frauds. This is an old one. The common link to them getting your email is on line surveys. Yahoo does not give it's stock holders money away nor does it give it's email subscribers address's to lotteries. The only way to win in a lottery is to buy a ticket, if you didn't you could not possibly win. Here is the website of the 17 nation law enforcement task force that investigates cross border Internet crime. You may file a complaint there. www.econsumer.gov. Also go to www.ripoffreport.com and browse complaints and you will find many having the same doubts as yourself about these scams. Below is a typical scam and how they work it. They just go under a thousand different names. They are asking you to send a prepayment to collect your winnings and they want you to send it by a money wire service. Lotteries do not just pick your name out of thin air, and just so happen to have your email also. No Internet service provider gives their email list out to lotteries. If you did not pay to play you could not possibly win.

What is mysql? and do I need to be a programmer to use it?

I am a designer and I have been asked to put together an updateable slideshow in flash. I am interested in some software called "Slideshow Pro Director" which seems to be an easy way to do this. I was having a look through the documentation for this software and it says you need to have a mysql database set up on the server in order to do it. Is this something that I need to do, or would my web host take care of the mysql database?





I'm not a programmer, so I don't think I would have a clue about something like mysql. Should I get this "slideshow pro" software or would the mysql element cause it to be completely over my head (as a non-programmer). Thanks for your help
What is mysql? and do I need to be a programmer to use it?
%26gt;%26gt; Is this something that I need to do, or would my web host take care of the mysql database?





You'll need a Web host that provides MySQL databases as part of its hosting packages. Almost all do at no added cost. Make sure the version of MySQL they have meets the version your software requires.





%26gt;%26gt; Should I get this "slideshow pro" software or would the mysql element cause it to be completely over my head (as a non-programmer).





All photo gallery software of this sort is technically complicated. However, if it's made well, you should be able to control it completely from its administrative interface; you shouldn't have to mess witn the nuts and bolts of it.





Make sure whatever software you buy, however, includes telephone tech support, and ask for references. If you can't get either, be wary, because if it breaks, you'll probably be SOL.
What is mysql? and do I need to be a programmer to use it?
Although you don't need to be a programmer to use MySQL...I would suggest having a knowledge of the application and how to use it in a basic way. Below is a website for MySQL
Reply:Most web hosts already mySQL installed on their servers and you can then quickly create new databases through their control panel. They also typically bundle software such as phpMyAdmin in the control panel as well. This is a great web front-end for editing of a mySQL database, so that you don't have to know the syntax of SQL statements yourself.
Reply:After all, mySQL is a free database (better than Acess)you can download. Most web applications written in php use mySQL as well.

How do I convert my WYSIWYG built website to another format without having to redo all 500+ pages on my site?

I am no longer able to add or update pages on my website as I am unable to save them in my WYSIWYG program on my hard drive. I have plently of hard drive space and adequate memory but the file is too large to work with and I am unable to split the pages into different files to save and upload separately to my web host without messing everything up. I would be happy to hear any suggestions? In hindsight I realize I should have started with a different program if I was going to build a larger website, but I am stuck now and I really don't want to have to start from scratch again on this site.
How do I convert my WYSIWYG built website to another format without having to redo all 500+ pages on my site?
If you open up your website in your browser, view source, and copy the code into your html editor, it will copy it over. Should look the same in WYSIWYG.
How do I convert my WYSIWYG built website to another format without having to redo all 500+ pages on my site?
Dreamweaver has an html import utility, but it doesn't always work 100% - depends upon what you developed your pages in.

If you fill in the info the company will probably write back asking you for a "processing fee" or something like that and saying that after you pay the fee they will send you the prize. Of course you will pay the fee and never hear from them again.

and drawn from a wide range of web hosts which we enjoy their patronage.


The selection was made through a computer draw system attaching personalized email addresses to ticket numbers.

I received this email. Is this for real?
Oh my thst sure sounds tempting . All i won this week was The UK lottery , The Irish Sweepstakes ( Guarenteed finalist) And i may have inherited some money from the bank of Nigeria as well Report It

Reply:it is doubtful
Reply:No, it is a scam and they will try to get your bank account info or your $$.
Reply:Definitely not plausible at all...complete B.S.





Just another email scam.
Reply:That old scam has been going around since I first got on the internet....in 1998!
Reply:This sounds like phishing. People don't give away money without benefit to themselves. They would use such a contest for promotional purposes, in which case you would already have know about it. Remember, if you wouldn't trust someone off the street saying it, don't believe it in a random e-mail. You will wind up losing money, your privacy, maybe even wind up facing identity theft. Do not respond to this e-mail for your own good.
Reply:Are you new to the world of computers?





There are many @#$$^%^ out there looking to get your personal information. You should learn right now that nothing is free and that most legitimate concerns will not ask for your passwords, Social Security number, credit card number, etc. over the net.





Best rule of thumb is when on the net, do not put anything out there you do not want published for all the world to see.
Reply:No, I got the exact same one 2 months ago. they are trying to get you to send them money supposedly to pay the advance taxes on your winnings, which of course are bogus. If you had won a lottery, they would first, tell you by registered mail, and second never ask you for money up front. the taxes would be taken off the cheque they sent you. andf third, microsoft would never give money away to random strangers, they have too many greedy stockholders who would kill someone if they did
Reply:What is the return address and are there any links on the email?
Reply:no.
Reply:No doubt... Its a SCAM.. Just Click the SPAM Button...
Reply:Since my job is to detect and prevent fraud at one of the largest banks in United States, I can assure you this is the typical fraud that only financially benefits the sender of the email (the fraudster or swindler).





The goal of the email is to entice you by having you wire monies from your bank account or cash a check and send the monies to the senders account (most ofter an account overseas).





You will be sent an official looking check, and asked to cash the check, wiring the monies to a bank account over seas. Days or weeks later the check (that appeared to look so real) is either counterfeit, stolen, or altered (otherwise a fraud check).





Stay away from this supposed get rich scheme. It will cost you thousands of dollars rather than enrich you.

How do database servers work?

Hi, I tried to read about databases, but I didn't find it much help. How can a server like Apache(running on your computer) still work when you shutdown? Can other computers still recieve that information when your server/computer is shutdown? Would the database work? Would I need to buy a server dedicated to that? or contact web host that sells server space? is that the better option?





Woah, that is a lot of questions. I guess I'll need to read a whole lot more about databases. I just usually give up because I don't understand how a database can still work if the server is down, especially if the server is running on my computer. Maybe I got it wrong and they just install Apache to test if the database works. Please help!
How do database servers work?
****till work when you shutdown?


If you want to have a database server you have to sure that your pc is on always. Otherwise your server will not serve when your pc is off line. Apache is not a db server. It is a HTTP(web) server.





****server/computer is shutdown?


You cannot receive any information when your server/computer is shutdown. DB will not work at that time.





buy a server dedicated to that?


If you are running the db server you need a dedicated ip for that. So it is better to give that job to a hosting company like www.blazonhosting.com. They do it for low cost.





You can run several servers in one pc(web server, mail server, DB server, file server). But running several servers in one pc leads to slow your pc's perfomences. Then it will slow down the the servers.





If you want more help or details contact. I m a webmaster too...





------More about the DB server----


A database server is a computer program that provides database services to other computer programs or computers, as defined by the client-server model. The term may also refer to a computer dedicated to running such a program. Database management systems frequently provide database server functionality, and some DBMS's (e.g., MySQL) rely exclusively on the client-server model for database access.





Database Master servers are central and main locations of data while Database Slave servers are synchronized backups of the master acting as proxies.
How do database servers work?
If the computer is shutdown, none of the services will respond. For something small scale, I would look for a shared webhosting company that offers DB and webspace. Maybe look for one that comes with a control panel like cPanel or Plesk. Those can be very useful, especially if you are still learning.
Reply:You must be able to have some sort of an interface that can pull out data from a database (i.e. website). Depending on the action taken on the website, for instance, browsing categories on an e-commerce website, the system will submit a query to the server which in return will pull out data from the database. This could be a price of a product, description, model number and many other variables.





While dedicated servers are a much better option, they are quite expensive. Shared databases are an affordable solution which works great as well.





If the server that contains the database is down, you will not be able to submit queries and pull out data.

Reply:%26gt; How can a server like Apache(running on your computer) still work when you shutdown?





It won't. But what does Apache have to do with databases? It's a HTTP server. Not a database server.





%26gt; Can other computers still recieve that information when your server/computer is shutdown?





No. If your computer is shutdown, so are any servers on your computer.





%26gt; Would I need to buy a server dedicated to that?





For high performance yes. If you want a 24/7 server, don't run one off your personal computer. If you want a good performing server, don't run it off your personal computer.





%26gt; or contact web host that sells server space?





You need to be clear about the difference between a database server and an HTTP server. A database server is for a database. An HTTP server serves webpages. A webpage may incorporate information taken from a database. That's right, you would need two servers then. Or more, depending on the complexity of your setup.





%26gt; I guess I'll need to read a whole lot more about databases.





And about web servers and architecture in general.





%26gt; I don't understand how a database can still work if the server is down, especially if the server is running on my computer





It can't. Where did you get this idea from?





%26gt; Maybe I got it wrong and they just install Apache to test if the database works





Except Apache is not a database server. Where did you get this idea from?
Reply:You can E-mail me if you want to actually have a conversation about this. That's alot of questions though. If the database server is on your local computer and you shut it down, you will not be able to acces the data on it. If you get a webhost like http://www.doggydomains.com and put your database on their server you will be able to acces it any time.

This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them.


http://www.hotscams.com/articles/759/1/L...


Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Sorry! No money for you!





DO NOT REPLY! DO NOT SEND PERSONAL INFORMATION!





I took this directly from the Yahoo link I listed below.





"Is there a Yahoo! Lottery? Does Yahoo! Mail ever offer cash prizes?





No. There is no Yahoo! Lottery, and we would never send you information about a contest you never entered.





That’s the definition of unsolicited: you never asked for it. It showed up out of nowhere. The message probably also displays two other hallmarks of fraud emails: it appears to be official (with company logos, even links), and it demands urgent action “to claim your prize”, or something similar.





If you’ve received a message like “Final Notification: Yahoo! Mail Winner!” or “Your Email Address Has Won $XX million”, it’s a scam..."





There's a lot more on the site if you care to read it.

Hey, i recenty started a website and now i need to add pictures. How do i resize and change pixle size?

FROM MY WEB HOST:


Email me 4 pictures to replace the 4 images on the splash screen. They will need to be 578x383 pixels and named intro-image1.jpg, intro-image2.jpg, intro-image3.jpg, intro-image4.jpg. These will be the images your website visitors see as they enter your site.


Make a copy of these images and resize them to 266x130 and name them header-left1.jpg, header-left2.jpg, header-left3.jpg, header-left4.jpg. These will become the images on the top (banner) section of all of your internal pages. You can always add applications later.





How do i do this?? please help me...
Hey, i recenty started a website and now i need to add pictures. How do i resize and change pixle size?
Your going to need an image editing program that has the capability to show you the size of your photos in pixels. Sometimes you get image editing software that comes with a camera or something but a lot of times that is not software that has such a specific capability. You can crop and cut but you don't necessarily know what size your image is once you are done.





A program such as Photoshop will allow you to change your image sizes and will measure in formats of inches, centimeters, milimetres, or pixels depending on what you specify. However, such image editing software is really pricey usually running over $700 for a new program. My advice to you would be to find a friend or someone willing to help you who already has such software and can make the image size changes for you. Otherwise you may be able to contact a print house or graphics designer and maybe they can do it for you for a fee. I really don't know what other solution there may be.
Hey, i recenty started a website and now i need to add pictures. How do i resize and change pixle size?
The resizing you want is not equal percentages of width and height, so you will need to go into an image-editor and crop the images to size, deciding yourself which parts of the images to crop off, then build html and/or css to place the images properly
