Open Source?

Know that open source software is given to people at no charge with the source code intact as to encourage independent developers to make it better and change things as they wish.

Realize that the general philosophy of open source software is that the company who distributes the code freely can still reap income from viral marketing and other tactics. Not only that, it more importantly helps to progress code to evolve, adapt, and make itself better because so many people are allowed to tinker with it.

Understand there are rules for a piece of software or code to be considered officially "open source". For one, it needs to be freely distributed. You cannot charge someone by modifying open source code and selling it as your own product. It, however, can be sold as PART of a commercial product, it just cannot be the product itself.

Know that the source code must always be included with the software, modified or not, as to encourage learning from the code and to promote making it better. Not including the source code implies that you yourself created it, and that you probably have the intentions of selling it. This not only is unfair, it is illegal to take open source and sell it as if you created it yourself. Don’t try it!

Anonymous Web Surfing

Anonymous surfing is the ability to surf the Web without being tracked. By using “sniffers” somebody could find out your IP address, cookies, what’s in your browser cache, what kind of computer you’re using…they could even connect to your hard drive and access your private files, including passwords and banking information.

Web sites and other people can sniff out information about you including your IP address. You can be found and tracked using your IP address very easily. Your IP address gives hackers an entryway into your computer.

Anonymous, or proxy, servers work by retrieving Web pages for you. They hide your IP address and other important browsing information, so the remote server does not see your information but sees the proxy server’s information instead.

Surfing with an anonymous proxy site/service is simple: all you do is enter in the URL you’d like to visit anonymously, and you’ll be able to surf leaving virtually no trace that you were ever there. Basically, when you use an anonymous proxy and enter in the URL that you’d like to visit anonymously, the anonymous proxy retrieves the pages BEFORE they are delivered to you. This way, the IP address and other browsing information that the remote server sees does not belong to you - it belongs to the anonymous proxy. When you surf the internet, your computer lets every other computer know who it is by giving away information such as your ip address, type of browser and a ton of other information. The goal is to hide all this information from other computers and this is called anonymous surfing.

5 Tips for a User Friendly Blog

Now that you’ve selected your niche let’s look at some blog design tips with your readers in mind. Balancing a design with pizzazz and individuality to attract new visitors but yet still have the warmth and comfort of an old worn shoe for returning readers is a delicate task. In order to accomplish this feat here are 5 tips that will increase the appeal of your blog design.

1) Blog theme

The overall blog theme should correspond with the niche you’re blogging about. Don’t confuse your visitors by going off target with pictures, symbols, or other visual aids that ‘decorate’ your blog but have no relationship with the niche you’re in. Your blog theme is a subtle yet powerful component that reinforces your affiliation with the niche you’re in.

For instance on Halloween you display pumpkins, witches, and other scenes and figures commonly associated with this holiday. Christmas holds the same association with Santa Claus just as Thanksgiving does with pilgrims or turkeys.
