			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">The majority of iPhone users will make use of the standard Safari browser in order to access the Internet on their iPhones. Of late, Internet Explorer developed and launched their own browser for the iPhone and a number of users might prefer IE as their browser of choice.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">The Internet can be accessed by tapping the Safari icon on the iPhone’s Home screen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Your first step you may want to take in browsing websites is by tapping the address bar on the top of the iPhone screen. In doing this you will notice a virtual browser opening on the screen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">On the virtual keyboard you will notice three buttons not appearing on a general keyboard, they are the .com button, the slash (/) button and the dot (.) button. These buttons are welcomed by the majority of active Internet users on the iPhone and makes life much easier when you need to type in URL’s.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Now you may start typing the URL’s of the websites you wish to visit. The browser has a unique function in storing information of websites you have visited. This is also another useful function offered by the iPhone. When you wish to enter a URL into the address bar, you can simply type the first single letter of the website you wish to visit. All websites starting with that letter will be displayed by the iPhone and you can simply tap the name of the website you wish to visit.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Now you know how to access a website on your iPhone. Here are a few tips for viewing websites and making the most of your Internet usage experience on your iPhone.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA"><span>-<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">While in a website, double tap on an area your wish to view. This will zoom in on the area you have tapped and display it the full size of your screen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA"><span>-<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Using your finger, you can press down on a page and drag it around on the screen. This is also known as Panning.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA"><span>-<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Rotate your iPhone in a horizontal position. You are now in a position to view the web in wide screen!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Opening more than one web pages on your iPhone <span id="more-672"></span><br />
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Need to open more than one web page at a time?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">The iPhone consists of a useful facility, which will allow you to open more than one web page at a time. In order to do this, simply tap the pages icon, which is located on the right side of the navigation bar. A new page will pop up on the screen and you may enter a new URL of a website you wish to visit.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">The small number you see in the pages icon displays the number of current open web pages. In order to navigate through the different web pages, simply move your finger to the left or right of the screen. You may then tap on a website to open it in full screen size.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">In order to close a web page, simply tap the ‘X’ in the red circle at the upper left hand of the page.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Bookmarking Webpages with Your iPhone</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-ZA">Bookmarking websites is a great way of quickly visiting useful websites. This is also a great feature offered by the iPhone. While viewing a website you simply click on the ‘x” at the upper left corner of the screen. You may accept the default bookmark name by clicking save or simply rename the bookmark name by tapping the ‘x’ in a circle next to the name.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Restaurants are part of all our lives and are one institution visited on a regular basis by many of us. Whether it is a breakfast before work, a quick lunch during work or dinner with family and friends, we often visit these institutions making life easier for ourselves. </p>
<p>In visiting restaurants we enter a relaxed environment feeling safe and secure, and this is exactly the environment fraudsters like to pry on. These circumstances are ideal for fraudsters as their victims can be manipulated easily without causing much suspicion.</p>
<p><strong>How the Scam Works</strong></p>
<p>Offenders of this scam always ensure that they are properly dressed and well-spoken, ensuring that they present the appearance of a professional manager. They then approach a busy restaurant.</p>
<p>Once inside the restaurant, the offender will approach a table and introduce himself as the restaurant manager to the victims. The offender will warn the victims of a recent problem concerning theft and will offer the victim to safeguard their belongings, such as jackets or bags. The victims will be informed of a new safeguarding area inside the restaurant and will also be presented with a small marked token, which must be presented when leaving the restaurant and collecting the property.</p>
<p>Once goods are handed to the fraudster, he will approach a colleague in another area in the restaurant, out of sight of the victims and hand the property over. The fraudster will then approach the next table with the same introduction, warning and proposition while his accomplice removes the goods from obtained from the first victims.</p>
<p>Once finished, the fraudsters will leave the restaurant and victims will be left with worthless tokens and without their property. <span id="more-670"></span></p>
<p><strong>Protecting Yourself Against These Scams</strong></p>
<p>Even though you might feel relaxed and secure in your environment, you should never place your trust in any person offering you to part with your property. If you do not know the owner or manager of the restaurant, it is highly suggested that you first call your waiter and confirm the identity of the person claiming to be the manager or owner.</p>
<p>When handing your property to another person, ensure that you go with this person to view the area where your property will be safeguarded. Do not allow the person to leave your table with your property without knowing where it will be taken.</p>

<p>You may be wondering what the above display is. It&#8217;s a proxy detector! Read on if you want to know more and wish to get one.</p>
<p>If you operate e-commerce sites, you may have frequently or often experienced fraudulent purchases done by &#8220;customers&#8221; through anonymous proxy servers. That is to say, the &#8220;customer&#8221; first visits a proxy site that helps him/her hide the true <a href="http://www.ip2location.com">ip address</a> (computer address), so that no one can track from where and who made the purchase with fraudulent payments. As a reliable seller, you have to make sure all of the charges and cases are resolved efficiently and this can take some times and can give you and your employees headaches. If there is a way to detect those proxy servers and block accesses from them, don&#8217;t you think your business will run smoother and have more time to focus on product qualities and customer purchase satisfactions?</p>
<p>If you think so, then you need to consider investing in a proxy server detector for your e-commerce site. There are many out there so you have to pick the right one for your business. Most of the scripts are either sold by unknown companies or from known companies but come with little to no instructions; and it is rare to find a company selling easy solutions. Regardless of how rare they are, IP2Proxy comes close to it when it come to providing simple web solutions to detect and blacklist proxy servers. All you have to do to have it running is to download, and import in your system backend and let the script do the wonders (automatically start blacklisting proxy server accesses!).</p>
<p>True, You can also add individual ip address to your htaccess or server firewall to block the proxy server ips but remember that there are MANY proxy server ips out there with new ones coming up daily or ips changed daily. And it will be troublesome for you and your server management team to locate each ip and manually input them to server firewall! With IP2Proxy, it automatically locate and detect proxy servers and <a href="http://www.ip2location.com/ip2proxy-ip-country.aspx">proxy list</a> for you and that <a href="http://www.ip2location.com/ip2proxy-ip-country.aspx">Anonymous Proxy List</a> is updated as soon as new ones are detected. You might wonder how the script was coded or what algorithm is used for the production. You can find out more at the official <a href="http://www.ip2location.com/ip2proxy-ip-country.aspx">IP2Proxy</a> site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can write essay for any specific purpose, but keeping one aim in mind and that is of having a structured well-written Essay.</p>
<p>Three important factors in Essay that matters are Sentence framing, use of appropriate Grammar and than it is the careful use of spellings.</p>
<p>Essay on any topic should be simple and enjoyable to read. The Essay should portray reality, which gets the readers to be enthusiastic more.</p>
<p>Let us start with some of the Tips for Essay writing. We are going to start with Sentences, the use of sentences appropriately is very important in essay writing.</p>
<p>Sentences are formed of Punctuation, Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs and prepositions. Than along with this group comes ‘frequently confused words’ which are used in essay writing as well.</p>
<p>We all have knowledge of what Punctuation is? It is the use of Period (.), question mark (?), exclamation mark (!), comma (,), apostrophe (‘), quotation marks (“), colon (:), semicolon (;), dash (-) and hyphen (_).</p>
<p>Use of period is done at the end of every sentence, for example, [India is one of the largest countries]. Use of period is also done with certain abbreviations ex, [Dr. Hanson is out of town] or [it is 4:00 p.m. here].</p>
<p>Question Mark (?) is used when you have to end a sentence to show a direct question or when you are trying to ask something. Do not use question mark when you are asking indirect questions. Examples are 1. [How many siblings do you have?], 2. [She asked where you went, please don’t ask me why].</p>
<p>Exclamation mark (!) is used at the end of the sentence to show excitement or shock. Ex [I can’t believe that some one can be so pretty!] or [The house is on fire! <span id="more-700"></span></p>
<p>Use of comma (,) can be very confusing at times. One has to be very careful in using comma’s at appropriate places in essay writing. There are some rules you can follow.</p>
<p>•	Rule one – Use comma to show a pause in your sentence.<br />
Ex – Hence, we ought to leave this place now</p>
<p>•	Rule two- Use comma when you want to show some one has said something directly.<br />
Ex- “I can come to your house today”, he said, “but not on Thursday”.</p>
<p>•	Rule three- you can use comma to list three or more different things.<br />
Ex- Canada, America, and India are different from each other.</p>
<p>•	Rule Four- Use comma around relative clauses when you have to add extra information to a sentence.<br />
Ex- Emily Carr, born in 1871, had a great talent of painting.</p>
<p>Use of Apostrophe (‘) is done when you want to show ownership of something, for ex, this is Jackson’s computer. You can also use apostrophe (‘) when you want to show letters that have been left out of a word, for ex, she doesn’t know how to fix it.</p>
<p>Quotation marks (“) are used when you want to show, what some one has said directly, and ex. Prime Minister Bush said, “We are going to win this war”.</p>
<p>Use of colon (:) is used when you want to introduce a list of things in your essay, ex. She has three belongings: hairbrush, toothbrush and toothpaste.<br />
You can also use colon (:) when you are introducing long quotation, ex. Prime minister of India said: “we are going to fight this war against terrorism. We will not give up. We have to keep looking at our aim”.</p>
<p>You can use, Semicolon (;) to join related sentences together, ex. The festival of lights is popular; everyone wants to celebrate it.</p>
<p>You can use, Dash (-), when you are summarizing the idea of the sentence, you can use it before and after a phrase or list that adds extra information in the middle of the sentence. Examples are 1. [Smart, pretty, witty- these are the characteristics of Miss. Johnson], 2. [Children- Ashley, Laura, Adie- went to the store together].</p>
<p>You use hyphen in your essay when you are joining two words that form one idea together, ex. Bad-odor or sweet smelling.</p>
<p>These are some of the basic but important rules in essay writing that help in having a good frame of sentence in an essay.<br />
Making a proper use of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions will give you one of the best essays. You have to know where to use each of these grammars in your essay. This definitely comes with practicing some grammar skills before you write your essay.</p>
<p>Some of the frequently confused words in the essay are,<br />
(Accept, except; advice, advise; all ready, ready; buy, by; choose, chose; complement, compliment; emigrate, immigrate; it’s, its; loose, lose; miner, minor; past, passed; principal, principle; stationary, stationery; than, then; their, there, they’re; threw, through; to, too, two; weather, whether; your, you’re).</p>
<p>The above words as explained can be confusing while writing essay, therefore you need to make proper evaluation of the following words to use them appropriately in your essay.</p>
<p>Paragraph in an essay can contain, topic sentence, supporting details and closing sentence. Paragraphs can also contain definition, classification, description, compare and contrast, sequence, choice, explanation and evaluation.</p>
<p>Paragraphs always have three stages, Introductory Paragraph, supporting paragraphs and the ending or summary paragraph.</p>
<p>You can start and end your essay with a thoughtful introduction and a challenging summary, this is what most of the readers look for.</p>

<p>Before we continue explaining some methods you can follow in establishing traffic to your website, we need to focus on the basics first. The basics we are referring to is your website itself. You need to ensure that your website is in the correct format and complete before you attempt any of the suggestions contained in this guide.</p>
<p>An improper formulated or incomplete website will prevent your site from being promoted correctly and will cause you to loose tons of potential visitors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Your website</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A completed website</span></p>
<p>The first and foremost important factor is to ensure that the design and information contained within your website is complete. There should be no broken hyperlinks between pages, broken links to images or ‘Under Construction’ pages.</p>
<p>Take the time to visit each page of your website and ensure that it is complete. Make use of this opportunity to look at spelling or grammatical errors and fix them.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Your HTML Structure</span></p>
<p>The HTML structure of a website is of utmost importance when it comes to search engine visibility. If your HTML structure is correct, the majority of search engines will be in a position to crawl your website. An incorrect HTML structure will lead to you losing thousands of potential visitors as search engines will be prevented from crawling and indexing your website.</p>
<p>When looking at your HTML structure, there are three tags that should always be present and completed on each and every website page. They are: <span id="more-689"></span><br />
1.	The Title Tag<br />
2.	The Meta Description Tag<br />
3.	The Meta Keywords Tag</p>
<p>These tags are used by search engines to identify the contents of your web pages.</p>
<p>Tip: In each of these attributes you should always mention your main keyword of your website at least once, but not more than twice.</p>
<p>Another important tag in your web pages is the &lt;h1&gt; &lt;h2&gt; and &lt;h3&gt; tags. These are often refer to as your Heading tags and many search engines pay particular attention to these tags in order to identify the content of the various web pages.</p>
<p>Many search engines only look at the first &lt;h1&gt; tag, as this is seen as the most important tag. For this reason, you will always ensure that your Heading tags contain at least your most important keyword.</p>
<p>Years ago, Meta tags played a huge role in search engine rankings, but this has changed. Search engines have become more complicated in their algorithms when determining rankings and are now focusing more on the actual content of your web pages than on your Meta tags. For this reason you should not expect high rankings in search engine results, but rather ensure that your website is at least crawled and indexed.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Search Engine Spiders</span></p>
<p>Search engine spiders, in short a programmed script, which will visit your website and collect certain information, such as content, code, link popularity, etc. This information is then analysed by an algorithm which will determine your search engine ranking for various keywords related to your website.</p>
<p>Here are some tips, which will ensure that search engine spiders read the content of your website:</p>
<p>1.	Use HTML</p>
<p>Although various scripting languages, such as Javascript or flash, add cool features to your website, the majority of search engines do not read these scripts. Limit the usage of these scripts to the utmost minimum and stick to the plain old HTML language.</p>
<p>2.	Use of Keywords</p>
<p>Search engines love reading information contained in tags. When placing images on your web pages always attempt to add keywords as descriptions to the images.</p>
<p>When making use of hyperlinks to internal web pages, make use of keywords that describe the different pages you’re linking to. As example, instead of creating a hyperlink like: <span style="color: #0000ff;">Click her</span>e, rather create a link like: <span style="color: #0000ff;">Visit my Car Racing page</span>.</p>
<p>When creating your pages, always ensure that keywords are used in the filenames associated with your web pages. As example, if you have many pages do not name them page1.html, page2.html, page3.html. Rather spend time at looking at each page’s content and create page names like car-racing.html, car-accidents.html, etc.</p>
<p>3.	Google Adsense</p>
<p>If you are signed up as a member of Google Adsense ensure that the ads are placed throughout your website. Once your website is uploaded and live, Google will automatically start to crawl your website.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Images</span></p>
<p>Ensure that all your images have completed HTML tags with descriptions. These are often great for search engine listings, such as Google’s Image search.</p>
<p>Great, we are done looking at your website. You have corrected and completed your website content and HTML source.</p>
<p>We are now ready to start with the recommended steps in attracting traffic to your website.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Day 1 – Search Engine Submission</strong></p>
<p>There are tens of thousands of search engines on the Internet. Just by doing a Google search will damp the spirit of many prospective webmasters when they realise the large number of search engines they will need to submit their websites to.</p>
<p>Do not fear, here is a secret you need to know about search engines. The majority of Internet users only use a handful of search engines, with Google being the most popular, followed by Yahoo! The majority of search engines on the Internet are Meta search engines, meaning they extract their results from the larger search engines such as Google and Yahoo!</p>
<p>“So what are you trying to say?” you might ask. Well, what we are saying is that you need only to submit your website to a small number of search engines, the bigger ones. Eventually your website will appear on all the smaller search engines.</p>
<p>The first and foremost important step is to start submitting your website to the following search engines:</p>
<p>Google.com &#8211; <a href="http://www.google.com/addurl/ ">http://www.google.com/addurl/ </a><br />
Yahoo.com &#8211; <a href="https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit ">https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit </a><br />
Live.com – <a href="http://search.live.com/docs/submit.aspx ">http://search.live.com/docs/submit.aspx </a><br />
Entireweb.com &#8211; <a href="http://www.entireweb.com/free_submission/">http://www.entireweb.com/free_submission/</a><br />
Scrubtheweb.com &#8211; <a href="http://www.scrubtheweb.com/addurl.html">http://www.scrubtheweb.com/addurl.html</a><br />
Alexa.com &#8211; <a href="http://www.alexa.com/site/help/webmasters#crawl_site">http://www.alexa.com/site/help/webmasters#crawl_site</a></p>
<p>While at Alexa.com, also take a few moments to update the contact information for your website. If possible, download and install the Alexa browser. Each time you visit your website and work on it, you will be increasing your Alexa rank.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Aboutus.com</span></p>
<p>Go to the website, aboutus.com – <a href="http://www.aboutus.com">www.aboutus.com</a>. In the search box type in the URL of your website. A page will then be created automatically for your website. Having a page in aboutus.com is great for a backlink and actual traffic over a period of time.</p>
<p>You can now create an account with Aboutus.com and start to edit your website’s page.</p>
<p>Great, you have completed the submission. Now, please remember not to submit your website to any of the above-mentioned sites within at least 8 weeks. By submitting your site again may lead to you being banned from being listed in these search engines.</p>
<p>In all likelihood you will still have some time on your hand for the rest of today. Why not use this by submitting your website manually to smaller search engines? As stated, this is not necessary as many of them will display your results in any event when you are indexed by the larger search engines. In some instances, smaller search engines may index you quicker if you manually submit your website to them.</p>

Topics covered are:<br />
<strong>Day 2 &amp; 3 – Directory Submissions<br />
Day 4 – Bookmarking Your Site<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s summer again! The time to relax, plan for upcoming years and to enjoy the things you deserve. It is also the time to spend time in the projects you would not otherwise have time to work on. I am sure that like me, most of you reaching this post are looking to see if there are other <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com">webhosting</a> providers you can rely on and move to or to check if the host you are with is still the best of one of the best. The efficient way to check up to see if your current host still provide the previously specified quality and hosting packages or to see if there&#8217;re other who has same quality but better deals, is to go to web hosting reviews and rating site. I would recommend Web Hosting Geeks, the reliable listing and reviews source to find hosting providers.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/">Web Hosting Geeks</a>, you can look at the top 10 hosting providers or do custom searches to fit your needs. For example, the top 10 will involve few or none listed about hosting providers providing windows hosting service. Then you can simply choose menu item like &#8220;<a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/bestwindowshosting.html">Best Windows Hosting</a>&#8220;. You can find budget hosting, blog hosting, forum hosting, unix, linux, windows hosting, php hosting, email hosting, ecommerce hosting, VPS, reseller, dedicated hosting and many more services and compare to see which one will best suit your needs. Remember, summer is the time you have some freedom, so it is also the good time to do server/host moving if necessary!!!</p>
<p>Now you would be wondering why I suggested Web Hosting Geek. Well, it is simply because at my blog, the talks go on and on if something deserve it (hence, &#8220;where the talks go!). Here, Web Hosting Geeks deserves to be mentioned due to their quality and customer friendly services. Also I am not promoting Web Hosting Geeks, the real customers of any hosting providers are by writing down their reviews about the hosts and sharing their experiences. Why don&#8217;t you visit Web Hosting Geeks and share your experiences about any hosts as well! If you want updates on hosting providers or read tips and guides to better your experiences and your server(s), refer to <a href="http://webhostinggeeks.com/blog/">WHG&#8217;s blog</a> as well.</p>
<p><strong>Cheers!</strong></p>
