Wrapping Fish With Your Old Blog Posts
Posted By: Ed Zivkovic on Friday, Apr 25, 2008
I have to agree with Ken Evoy who has proven time and time again that theme-based content sites are the average persons best chance to make money Online.
"Professional bloggers, and professional promoters of blogging, usually fail to mention the "dated-content treadmill" that they so desperately run upon every day. What happens when you stop blogging? You watch your traffic melt away. Why? Because Search Engines know that blog posts are like newspapers... good only for wrapping fish after a few days." - Ken Evoy
In his article, Blog or Build?, Ken explains that while there is a place for blogging, full-blogging is the wrong choice to build a business for most small business people.
HTML Color Names

Handy web site for selecting matching colors for your web sites and eBooks.
This Color Chart contains all 140 Color Names:

Each color name links to a page which contains matching colors and HTML hex codes. This makes the task of selecting matching colors quickly a breeze.
Why You Need The Hex Codes
Because only 16 color names are supported by most browsers, you need to use the corresponding HTML hex codes instead of the color names in order to ensure that your web pages and eBook projects display correctly.
While there are several excellent Free Online tools which allow you to pick and match colors, I have found them a chore to use because of the need to constantly input new hex codes, take the matching hex codes and try them out in my web pages etc.
All the colors are hand coded into each page for easy reference. Each color name page displays that color as the background color on that page along with 6 matching colors.

This email is not from Google:

Paypal Phishing Warning
Posted By: Ed Zivkovic on Thursday, Mar 20, 2008
Never click links in these kinds of emails. Always navigate directly to paypal and login from there.
These scams are also used "phish" for your banking details. Likewise, always navigate directly to your bank and login from there.
