How to Run 'Friday Night Magic' at HomeIn Feburary 2016 30,

In Feburary 2016 30,
Ask yourself whether you want your Friday Night Magic to be officially sanctioned. If you want your event to be officially sanctioned, you will need to host the event in a public facility that is accessible to everyone, preferably a gaming store that can qualify for a Wizards Play Network level. You will need to find a Magic the Gathering judge who can attend the event, and you must follow the guidelines set out by Wizards of the Coast (Resources). However, if you just want to host a friendly get-together to play just for fun, keep reading.
Decide whether you want to just get your friends together or whether you want to open game night to anyone who wants to play. Keep in mind that opening it to anyone who wants to play means letting potential strangers into your home.
Find an area in your house that can hold the number of people you are going to have attending. Hosting a gaming night is like hosting any other party. Consider the number of people that you can easily accommodate, and be sure to provide enough snacks and drinks for everyone.
Make sure you have enough tables and chairs for everyone. No one is going to want to have to take turns playing at the kitchen table or resort to playing on the floor.
Invite your Magic the Gathering playing friends. If you are going to open the event to all gamers in your area, you will need to advertise the event. You can advertise via fliers or any other creative way you can think of. You just need to make sure people understand that your event is not an officially sanctioned Friday Night Magic event. Some gamers might not want to give up an official event, where they can improve their tournament rankings and win prizes, just for a friendly get-together.

How to Create a Turnkey Web SiteIn Feburary 2016 29,

In Feburary 2016 29,
Choose a market niche for your turnkey site. Websites that focus on niches are popular and can generate a significant revenue have the greatest chance of being sold. Think of industries that have a large advertising network. For example, a website on dog care serves a large audience and also has a wide range of companies who would want to advertise dog care products. In contrast, a site about raising ants will have a much narrower audience and less appeal to advertisers and entrepreneurs.
Sign up for budget web hosting. When attempting to create a turnkey website, minimizing your overhead costs will help you realize the greatest profit when selling the site. You also want a host that is able to transfer ownership of the domain and hosting account for free. Examples of budget webhosts that can do this include Fat Cow and Blue Host (see Resources).
Build the turnkey site. If building the site from a blank page, use a visual site editor (e.g. Dreamweaver) or a standard text editor if you are comfortable with your level of HTML expertise. Alternatively, purchase a professional website template. Templates are popular among those who create turnkey websites because they minimize the time it takes to get the site up and running. Avoid free website template sites as they often offer low-quality templates that are not always standards-compliant. Dreamtemplate is an example of a professional template provider (see Resources).
Propagate your site with keyword-targeted, original content. Include a minimum of five to 10 pages for the site. Think about the keywords that will attract advertisers. Stay focused on your turnkey website's overall theme. For example, a dog care site may have web pages on dog breeds; dog grooming tips; dog grooming product reviews; and dog feeding and nutrition guides. The more pages you include with the turnkey site, the higher your chance of selling the site quickly.
Insert advertising and affiliate programs. Popular examples include Google AdSense, Commission Junction and Amazon Associates. You may insert your own code, which the purchaser will then replace with his or her own affiliate codes. Alternatively, simply insert 'Ad Here' or similar text to notify the purchaser of the locations of ad spots. However, successful turnkey websites will come with affiliate codes pre-installed and income reports to show potential buyers of the site's income potential.
Upload the website to the web host you chose in Step 2 using your FTP software. Enter your server name and password into the FTP software to connect with the server. If you do not know this information, it may be found in the registration material sent to you by the host when you originally registered. Once connected, upload the templates and pages you've created. Your turnkey site is now online.
List the turnkey site you've created for sale. You may wish to post it for free on an online classified ads website such as Craigslist. Alternatively, list the site for sale on an online marketplace specializing in turnkey website sales. One of the most popular and well-known sites that do this is the Sitepoint Marketplace (see Resources).

How to Stop a SYN Flood AttackIn Feburary 2016 28,

In Feburary 2016 28,
Click the Windows 'Start' button and select 'Run.' Enter 'regedit' in the text box and click the 'Enter' key. This opens the Windows registry, where you will add the settings.
Navigate to the folder 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services' in the registry. New values for this key will be added to prevent the server from using resources during a SYN attack.
Right-click the 'Services' folder and select 'New Key' and choose 'DWORD' as the value. Enter 'SynAttackProtect' for the key name. Enter '2' as the value. This provides the best defense against a SYN attack by making the connection time out more quickly. The '2' represents the amount of time the IIS server will wait before it stops expecting a reply from the client. By stopping this time sooner, it frees up resources sooner and stops the server from waiting too long, saving websites from poor performance during SYN attacks. This is the recommended value by Microsoft.
Right-click the 'Service' folder and select 'New Key' and choose 'DWORD' for the type. Enter 'EnableDeadGWDetect' for the name. Enter the value of '0' in the text box. This disables the host from sending traffic to an unintended gateway, which could cause a breach in security.
Right-click the 'Service' folder and select 'New Key' and choose 'DWORD' for the type. Enter 'EnablePMTUDiscovery' as the name and enter '0' for the value. This disables the use of high amounts of resources on the computer, protecting it from memory overload and crashes.
Close the registry and reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

How to Make an Online Application FormIn Feburary 2016 15,

In Feburary 2016 15,
Create your online application with basic HTML form code. The form code allows your applicant to visit a page on your Web site and type his information directly into the browser, such as name, address, educational background or previous employment for a job application. When the user clicks 'Submit,' your Web server will transmit the form to your email address for your review. See 'Resources' for more information and the basic HTML code to create a web form.
Create a PDF form as another alternative for your online application. Adobe Acrobat Professional (version 7.0) has a tool that allows you to create 'fillable' PDF forms for display on your Web site. Upload your application form (in a word processing or spreadsheet file) to the Acrobat program. Click 'Advanced,' 'Forms' and then 'Make Forms Fillable' to pull up the tool and start creating the fillable fields for your application. The visitor can then download the PDF application to his browser, fill out the information, save it to his computer and email it to you for review.
Use SurveyGizmo's web-based form creator service to make your online application. The service helps you create the application, embed it on your Web site and even analyze the applicant's answers from your account dashboard. Create an account to start a free trial to get familiar with the service, select a template (such as the job application template) and start entering your questions for the applicant.

How to Sell Cell Phones Online for a HomeIn Feburary 2016 13,

In Feburary 2016 13,
Find an affiliate program. This is the easiest way to begin selling cell phones as it requires nothing to join and most programs will pay you up to $50 per sign up. Generally the phones are free if the customer signs up for a contract. See resources below for a list of potential affiliate programs.
Build your website. Most of these affiliate programs come with pre-built websites that are populated with all of the products and accessories. You just need to purchase a domain name and forward it to your affiliate link. To purchase a domain name you can go to sites like Godaddy, NameCheap, or Name.com.
Drive Traffic. Once you have your website set up, you will need to drive traffic to your site. There are several ways that you can do this. You can start off with paid traffic using pay per click traffic from sites like Google, Yahoo, or MSN (see resources). You can also purchase banner ads on sites like MyAds, AdBrite, or Facebook. If you don't want to buy advertising then you can write articles doing reviews of the cell phones and submit them to sites like EzineArticles, or GoArticles. You can also create video reviews of the cell phones and submit them to YouTube.com.

How to Create a Secure WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 11,

In Feburary 2016 11,
Create your website as you would do normally. Any standard web programming code will be fine, including HTML, PHP and ASP.
Go to a website that offers what are called Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates. As the title implies, SSL is a protocol that provides a layer of protection over your site by scrambling data. Popular services that you may want to consider include Godaddy SSL, VeriSign.com, Thawte.com or Comodo (see 'Resources'). Your web host may also offer discounts on SSL certificates.
Choose the length of time you would like to keep the SSL certificate active, since most require annual renewal unless you pay for a longer term. Some services will allow you to pay for your certificate five years in advance.
Pay for your SSL service and then install the technology on the information-gathering pages of your website. The provider will send you a bundle of files including your unique certificate via email along with specific instructions depending on your operating system and the file upload service that you use for your website.
Test your information-gathering pages by typing in the site address with 'https://' instead of the standard 'http://' protocol and assure that all links to that page on your site use the new 'https://' URL. Whenever your customers visit those pages, the information will become encrypted.
Use a trusted and secure website payment processing system, such as the free one offered by Paypal, to take online customer orders as an added layer of assurance for your customers. Paypal has its own layer of protection built in, so customer information is never transmitted, stored or made vulnerable to theft on your website.

What Does CC Mean at the End of a Web Address?In Feburary 2016 11,

In Feburary 2016 11,
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are an Australian territory located in the Indian Ocean. Anyone can register a CC domain name from the VeriSign registration page (link in Resources). Domain names must be between three and 63 characters long and can contain letters, numbers and hyphens; you can't use special characters.
Usage of CC Domains
Because the CC domain name is short and easy to remember, it is used by companies -- such as cycling clubs -- as an abbreviation. CC can also be an abbreviation for Christian Church or Catholic Church, so it is used by some churches for their home pages. Google removed all co.cc domains -- which are not provided by the official CC registry -- from its search results in July 2011, because many of these domains were used to distribute spam and rogue security software.

How to Host Your Own DomainIn Feburary 2016 03,

Download a Web server. This is usually necessary since Windows doesn't come with a default Web server. Apache is a good program, but you can also download ABYSS, which is a free program that you can download (see Resources).
Read the documentation that is included with ABYSS to familiarize yourself with the program. This is only necessary if you've never used ABYSS, or if you do not have Apache on your system.
Visit the No-IP website (see Resources). Set up an account while you are on this page. Choose the domain name you want to use.
