Discount Computers

This simple reminder is dedicated to all Webmasters (and
Webslaves like me). Don\’t sleep tonight without reading this.
Find out why below…

Have you seen people cried out loud for help because they lost
their websites?

I have seen this many times in several forums and have
personally experienced the same not long ago. I am a living
testimony on this one.

And so I cried out, \”Mama help! I lost my websites!\”

But no one can help me… Sad but true…

So I face mounting problems that escalates each day as I am
rebuilding my websites. Lost sales, lost customers, lost files
and lost hairs (it\’s very stressful you know).

If it did not happen to you just yet, good for you. Otherwise,
you already know how painful it is to wake up in the morning
just to see your website was wiped out on the face of the
internet.

Scary eh?

Webmasters lose their websites for a variety of reasons. This
may be due to either one or the combination of the following:

1) Server hardware breakdowns or failures 2) Datacenter
disasters (fires, electrical, etc) 3) Software updates and
failures 4) Hacking and malicious intents 5) Transfer or server
movement problems 6) Your webhost human errors 7) Your own human
errors Other accidents I might have missed

Except for your own mistakes (admit it, nobody\’s perfect) from
time to time, all the other reasons are beyond your control. And
it\’s not good news.

It\’s a good thing that you NOW know that it\’s not a question of
\”IF\” it will happen to you. It\’s just a matter of \”WHEN\”
disaster will strike YOU.

- Are you ready for this?

- Can you deal with the consequences and trauma?

- Is your website insured if disaster falls today?

Luckily, most of us know the solution but we keep on ignoring
this. Admit it. I know.

The only way to really have peace of mind is to do one simple
thing… Just ONE simple thing…

Backup!

Backup!

Backup!

Most of us knew this all along but we don\’t do it.

Are we crazy? Nope. We are just busy.

We are so busy online we don\’t have time for this simple thing.
No challenge eh?

But you see, this is your ONLY true insurance from the shaky
internet platforms and uncontrollable mishaps.

You can\’t just rely on someone to do this for you.

- Not with your web host.

- Not your programmer.

- Not your website designer.

- Not even your Mom!

YOU, the website owner should do this for yourself.

BACKUP.

I pray that you will not be stricken with this sad online
tragedy. Because I really can\’t help you even if you email me a
million times for help.

Remember, accidents strike when you least expect it. (Or it will
not be called accidents right?)

So don\’t forget to BACKUP your websites from time to time. And
your vital files in your computer too.

You\’ll have peace of mind and I tell you, that\’s a great and
wonderful feeling.

Tell your Mom about it. She\’ll be happy to know…

When you\’re choosing which computer certification to pursue
next, you should also be formulating a plan for your career.
Your time is precious, and you should never choose to pursue a
certification because it\’s \”hot\”. There are some hard questions
you should ask yourself before deciding to pursue the CCNA,
CCNP, CCVP, CCSP, CCIE, MSCE, or any of the many other vendor
certifications that are out there.

Why do I want this certification?

This is the biggest and most important question you should
answer before you spend a dime on books or classes.

If your primary goal in earning a certification is the money
you feel companies will throw at you after you get it, make sure
to do your research first. Basing your certification pursuits on
a salary survey can lead to some serious frustration on your
part. Don\’t get me wrong, I like money. J But those surveys can
be very misleading. There\’s really no such thing as an \”average\”
salary in IT. Job responsibilities and requirements vary greatly
from company to company, to the point where a \”network admin\”
may make $25K at one job and $75K at another. You can see where
such variations in pay can lead to some misleading statistics.
(And if you\’re thinking of attending a tech school whose main
pitch is \”look at all the money this cert can get you\”, ask a
lot of questions about how they arrived at this amount.)

A positive answer to this question works wonders. If you have a
plan for your career, you\’ll know how this certification can fit
into your plans. If you don\’t know what you\’re going to do with
it when you get it, or worse, don\’t have a plan for your future,
you may be wasting your time. Ask yourself the hard questions
now – you won\’t regret it.

How does the vendor protect my investment of time and money?

Let\’s face it: earning your certification costs time and money.
You\’ve got to set time aside to study, you\’ll need books,
perhaps a class, etc. If you\’re spending that money and time, it
should be to make yourself more valuable in the workplace.

The vendor should also have a vested interest in keeping your
certification valuable. Take Cisco, for instance. I was at a bit
of a career crossroads a few years ago. Should I pursue my
masters degree, or pursue the CCIE? I took a strong look at both
choices, and I knew that Cisco works endlessly and tirelessly to
protect the value of their certifications. While other major
vendors have made strides to do so, I felt Cisco did the best
job of protecting the value of their certifications. That\’s why
I felt secure in the investment of my finances and time into a
major Cisco certification, and I\’ve never made a better
decision.

Before making a major investment into a computer certification,
consider the steps that a vendor does or does not make to
protect your investment.

Computer certifications have helped me tremendously in building
my IT career. By asking the right questions, and taking a hard
look at your motives and plans before pursuing a given
certification, they can do the same for you.

Link directory is the place on the internet where various web
players maintain their links for free to exchange links or trade
purposes. In fact it is an easy and effective way for the link
seeking websites to sight their links. The internet has
thousands of web sites where you can submit a link. But you have
to meet certain standards to submit your links to these web
sites. Link directory software is the right tool for you to
create an impressive link directory. And an impressive link
directory is the gateway to the top rankings from the major
search engines.

The link directory software sets up the link directory for you
on a web server. The quality of your link directory depends on
the software used by you for the installation process. You will
find a number of software in the market place. Software is
considered to be good or bad by the scripting language it has.
The whole software functions and features on the software script.

The link directory software built in PHP script is considered as
the best in the field. You can get the PHP script software from
any of the software stores in your vicinity. The most striking
feature of the PHP script link directory software is that it can
be set up on all the operating systems. The operating systems
can be Windows operating system, Linux or even UNIX. According
to a recent survey by an IT journal in the US, most of the
website owners use a Windows operating system to set up a link
directory.

The link directory software enables you to choose a great
template for your link directory. The software can make your
link directory interesting and attractive. You can choose from a
number of colors to set the back ground colors of the template.
You are capable of changing the colors of the text as well.
Different categories of links can also be assigned different
colors. This makes your link directory interesting to the
visitors. It also gets quite easier for the visitors to locate
and select the links, differentiated via colors.

A few software support you with endless categories of links.
This implies that you can create as many categories of links as
you want. A majority of software support built in categories but
you can customize them as well. If you do not need a category,
you can disable it.

Apart from maintaining a list of different types of links, the
link directory software also helps you to manage your links in a
better way. Whenever a link is added to your website, it will
automatically be added to the link directory. You will also come
to know the summary of the performance of a particular link.

So all these benefits and much more, you can access via link
directory software. In fact you can very easily install this
software on your computer to develop a link directory.
