Purchase an SSL certificate. There are a number of companies that offer SSL certificates, including Verisign.com, GoDaddy.com and InstantSSL.com.
Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) from your web server. Typically, the easiest way is to contact your web server support desk and ask them to do it for you. Each type of web server is different. Most allow you to generate a CSR with their user interface, but it can be a complicated process.
Submit your CSR to the company you purchased your SSL certificate from. Most SSL companies have a form you can copy and paste the CSR into, but you can always paste it into a text document and email it to them.
Install your approved SSL certificate on your web server. Once your SSL company verifies your CSR and assigns it to your SSL certificate, they will issue an approved SSL server certificate that must be installed on your web server in order to activate your site security. Again, the easiest way to accomplish this is to contact your web server help desk and ask them to do it for you. Once your SSL certificate is installed you will be able to access your site via HTTPS and your data transfer will be securely encrypted.

How to Start a Car Show FundraiserIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Choose a theme for the car show. The focus can be on classic cars, low riders, luxury cars or creatively decorated cars.
Decide on a purpose for the car show---this is what draws people to the event. For example, a social service organization would host a car show to raise money for a community service project.
Organize a car show committee---this ensures that all the work of planning and executing the fundraiser isn't placed on one or two people. You should have the following: a chairman to provide direction for the planning of the car show; a treasurer that controls spending, plans a budget, and tracks the funds that are raised; a publicity chair or media organizer, who is responsible for getting the word out about the car show to local media and the community; a sponsorship coordinator, whose aim is to secure cash and in-kind sponsorships from local companies to keep the group's expenses to a minimum. Recruit volunteers to ensure the car show runs smoothly.
Plan a schedule of weekly meetings with your car show committee---invite all members of your organization to attend so that they can stay in the know and contribute ideas.
Secure a venue for the car show fundraiser. The sponsorship chair should try to find a venue to host the event for free or at a discount if at all possible.
Distribute entry information about the car show to local car clubs, car dealerships, college campuses and auto accessories stores---ask permission before posting or leaving fliers. Print out simple fliers with contact and entry information to keep your expenses low.
Launch an informational blog or website about the car show fundraiser so that entrants, potential sponsors and people interested in attending can find out the purpose, location and time information for the show easily.
Hold a meeting with your committee and volunteers at least two days before the car show to ensure everyone knows their roles, when to be at the venue and who to contact if they need any help during the show.

How to Create a Custom Template for RapidWeaverIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Create a new project in RapidWeaver. Click on the 'Themes' button, located in the toolbar.
Select a theme to customize and control click on its name. Select 'Duplicate Theme' and name it with the title of your project.
Control click on the copied theme and choose 'Display Contents.' Open the 'styles.css' file with software such as CssEdit, TextWrangler or Text Edit (using plain text mode). Edit the classes and IDs of the different elements of the theme as you desire. For example, changing details under '#pageHeader h1' will affect the title of the site and '#pageHeader h2' will make changes to the slogan.
Open the 'index.html' file using TextWrangler, TacoHTML or Espresso. Move the components to different positions in the file to change the layout of the webpage.
Use PrefSetter or similar software to open the 'theme.plist' file. Change your preferences for the theme from the options available.
Edit the individual files within the 'css' folder to match the changes you made in the 'style.css' file. Leaving these files unchanged will render your previous edits defunct.
Replace the images for buttons, headers, background and others with your own choices. Software for making these edits includes RWMultitool or MWMultitool Lite. Ensure the images you use to replace are the same size and type as the originals.

How to Create Your Own Domain EmailIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Find a domain to registrar. There are many domain registrar websites where you can register your own domain. You can visit a site like GoDaddy, DirectNIC or Network Solutions to buy a web domain. Use the website's search function to find a website that hasn't been registered and that is personal to you.
Select the type of domain you want. Domains come in several types. You can buy '.com,' '.net,' '.biz,' '.us,' or even '.tv.' Select the domain name and type, and purchase it from the site. The fee will vary depending on the type of domain you want.
Buy web hosting. Now that you have a domain, you need to find a host. You can normally buy hosting very cheaply from the company that you bought your domain from, or it may be included in the price of the domain. If you decide to use another host, you will need to follow their instructions for changing your nameservers to the ones that they specify.
Get an email program. Many people use Microsoft Outlook for an email client or you can use something else. You can even use some of the online Web-based services such as Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail that allow you to use the POP3 email protocol and download your email into their program for viewing from any computer.
Configure the email program. You will normally find account options under the 'Tools' or 'Options' menu of your email program. This is where you tell the program where to retrieve your email. Use your username and password, as well as your email server information -- provided by your Web hosting company -- to set up your email accounts.
Test your settings. Send yourself some email from another account and make sure that you can send and receive email properly. If you can, you are ready to start giving out your new email account.

How to Sell Beauty Products OnlineIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Visit Sally Beauty Supply online (see link below) and evaluate the website. Determine what you like and don't like about the site. If you decide to open your own online store, shoot for that level of professionalism.
Choose an E-commerce site to host your website, if you decide not to go with eBay. Volusion.com offers an entire package that includes your domain name, shopping cart and web hosting, and starts at $19.95. Corecommerce.com is another E-commerce site that offers packages for as little as $29.95 (you will need to purchase your own domain name). Both of these sites offer business email addresses, website templates (and the ability to use your own design), marketing tools, accounting tools, data feeds, Google AdWords coupons, the ability to create coupons or newsletters for your store and the ability to accept a number of different payment methods, such as Paypal, Google Checkout and credit cards. GoDaddy.com allows you to pick and choose the services you need, such as a domain name or shopping cart. Web hosting starts at $4.99. If you aren't familiar with SEO and online selling, an all inclusive site such as Corecommerce.com may be the way to go. Volusion.com and Corecommerce.com offer a free 30-day trial. Vendio.com is a hosting site that allows you to operate your store for free. However, you won't have an exclusive domain name and your URL will be lengthy. This is important because a shorter URL such as Haircaresupplies.com is easier to identify than one that includes the hosting site's name and additional information, such as Vendio.com/stores/haircaresupplies.com.
Design a catchy name and logo for your website or eBay account. Then create an About Me page that includes a brief bio about you and your business, such as how you began selling products and the types of products you offer. Create a Shipping and Returns page for your online store, or a Shipping and Returns policy, if you opt to sell through eBay. If you open an online store, create a Privacy Notice page that tells your customers how you intend to use and safeguard their personal information.
Visit Cltradingfl.com (see link below) to purchase wholesale hair styling tools such as dryers, curling irons and combs. Visit Centurybeautysupply.com or call (800) 448-8347 to purchase hair products by Osis, J Beverly Hills, Fudge Retail, Dermorganic, I.C.O.N, BC HairTherapy, BC Sun and Benniefactor. Sometimes you can find much better deals just by taking advantage of sales or discounted items, versus buying wholesale. To find these deals, visit Discountbeautycenter.com to find discounts on nail care, hair products, cosmetics, appliances, fragrances and bath care. See the link below. Don't forget to check eBay for greatly reduced overstock items. Also check out Wal-Mart's clearance section and Ross for reduced beauty products.
Utilize SEO in your beauty product listings. Whether you sell on eBay or via your own website, having the right keywords ensures that your products will come up in relevant searches. Include information such as brand names, amount and special considerations. Take great pictures or use clear images for your products.

How to Host a Cheap Baby ShowerIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Choose where the shower will be held. Your home or a friend's home costs nothing and gives you more flexibility on time and decorating. A backyard baby shower provides a natural decor, saving money on decorations.
Determine the best time to have the shower. Plan for in-between meal times to save on food costs. A 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. brunch or a 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. tea each require simple refreshments.
Create the guest list. If other showers are planned -- co-workers, extended family -- don't feel that you have to invite everyone to yours. Keep the list as small as possible for an intimate event.
Collect guests' email or mailing addresses. Save money by sending an electronic invitation or by creating your own to mail. Request an RSVP with enough notice to adequately plan your food and beverage needs.
Purchase as many refreshments in advance, so you can take advantage of sales. Most beverages can be stored until needed and some food items will also keep.
Throwing the Shower
Shop at discount stores for decorations and supplies. Purchase non-baby-related decorations in the colors of the nursery or the theme of the shower. Add matching plates and napkins in solid colors to a few packs of the more expensive printed items. Or, for greater savings, use your own dishes and utensils.
Create decorations out of items the future mom can keep as gifts. Diaper 'cakes' are popular gifts and double as an eye-catching centerpiece. Pin baby clothes to a length of sturdy string and hang as a clothesline decoration that mom can take home.
A diaper cake is a great decoration-turned-gift.
Make light foods that guests can snack on without sitting down for a formal meal. Chips and dip, finger sandwiches, raw vegetables and cheese and crackers are easy to eat as you mingle. Mini quiches, fruit and muffins are tasty options for a brunch shower. Make cupcakes in place of purchasing an elaborate cake. Personalize them with matching frosting or the baby's first initial. Offer hot or cold teas, lemonade and a light punch for beverages. To save more money, make it a potluck and ask each guest to bring an appetizer or dessert.
Fill a clear jar with candy for a 'guess how many are inside' game. The winner receives an inexpensive gift like soap or a candle, while each guest can scoop some candy into a plastic bag for their favor.
