McCaw was born in Centralia, Washington, the second of four sons of Marion and John Elroy McCaw. Over the course of his career, Craig's father would buy and sell dozens of radio and television stations. He often incurred large debts in the process, but the family lived well.&lt;br /&gt;As teenagers, all four boys worked for one of their father's small cable television services: climbing poles, stringing cable, and selling subscriptions door-to-door. Their father sold the boys one tiny, 2,000-subscriber system in exchange for shares of preferred stock in the company. Craig soon took the lead in managing the company. Although Craig was dyslexic, he made an extra effort in school both at his prep school in Seattle and at Stanford University, where he studied history. While at Stanford, he continued to run the cable company from his dormitory room.&lt;br /&gt;Craig McCaw Biography PhotoWhen Craig was still a sophomore in college, his father died, leaving a heavy burden of debt and taxes. Over the next few years, Craig's accountant mother was forced to liquidate all of Mr. McCaw's holdings except for the one cable service in Centralia, Washington which had been left to the boys in trust. After graduating from Stanford, Craig borrowed money against the Centralia system to buy other small cable operations in remote areas. He improved programming, raised rates, and cut costs. In the next few years, Craig's strategy for the cable TV operation paid off: while revenues quadrupled, the cash flow from operations grew eight-fold.&lt;br /&gt;In 1981, McCaw began to research the cellular telephone market. Even according to AT&amp;amp;T's modest projections, the local permits sold by the FCC were greatly undervalued. Craig started bidding on cellular phone licenses. He planned a major expansion, but to do this, he needed more capital than McCaw Communications could ever earn from its modest cable television business.&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the 1980s, McCaw sold shares in his company to larger enterprises: Affiliated Publications, E.W. Scripps Co., and finally British Telecom.. In each case, the McCaw brothers kept control of the company in their own hands and in some instances bought back the shares, as their own operation grew to dwarf some of its former partners. At the same time, the backing of these established firms enabled McCaw to acquire a credit line of over a billion dollars.&lt;br /&gt;Craig McCaw Biography PhotoThe local phone companies, or "Baby Bells," created when a federal court order broke up AT&amp;amp;T's monopoly on phone service, had expected to dominate the infant cell phone industry. They were shocked to find that an unknown cable television operator from the Northwest had already acquired the licenses they needed in strategically chosen markets. McCaw borrowed massively to buy more and more licenses. He sold at a profit the licenses he couldn't use, and rolled the money back into purchasing more, gradually putting together the pieces of a national network.&lt;br /&gt;In 1986, MCI Communications sold its cellular and paging operations to McCaw for $122 million and McCaw Cellular emerged as the industry leader. The McCaw brothers sold their cable television business outright for $755 million, to concentrate solely on building a national cellular phone network. They took the company public, putting 11 percent of the company in public hands while the brothers retained roughly 40 percent.&lt;br /&gt;In 1989, McCaw outbid Bell South for control of LIN Broadcasting. It cost $3.5 billion, but McCaw had acquired licenses in the very markets he needed to consolidate his system. It would now be impossible for a serious competitor to enter the field.&lt;br /&gt;Craig McCaw Biography PhotoWall Street looked with horror at the company's gargantuan debt, but McCaw knew he could resell individual cellular licenses at a profit to any of the regional Baby Bells. Meanwhile, revenues doubled, operating cash flow rose, and the number of subscribers exploded. McCaw himself earned $54 million in 1990, making him America's highest-paid chief executive. Less than one percent of this was paid in salary, the rest was due to increase in the value of his shares in his own company.&lt;br /&gt;In 1994, the McCaw brothers sold their company to AT&amp;amp;T for $11.5 billion. In the process, Craig McCaw himself became one of AT&amp;amp;T's largest shareholders, but he refused to sit on the Board of Directors because he can't stand long meetings. Before selling his company, McCaw personally took over one of its subsidiaries, Teledesic, with the intention of building a global network of 840 low-altitude satellites to provide Internet-like transmission of digital data to the most remote places of the Earth.&lt;br /&gt;Craig McCaw Biography PhotoAway from the office, Craig McCaw is an avid aviator who routinely pilots his own jet. He is active in environmental and civic affairs in his home state of Washington and has invested millions in a campaign to convert a run-down industrial district of Seattle into a vast urban park. In 2003, McCaw founded Clearwire, a wireless broadband Internet service provider. A fast, portable alternative to the cable modem and DSL services provided by cable television and telephone companies, Clearwire uses WiMAX wireless technology to transmit from a network of mobile phone towers. Users can access the Internet wherever they are, without connecting to a land-based cable or telephone system. McCaw, who serves as Chairman of Clearwire, took the company public in March, 2007. As of this writing, Clearwire is active in dozens of U.S. markets, as well as Mexico, Belgium, Denmark and Ireland.&lt;br /&gt;Craig McCaw and his wife, Susan Rasinski McCaw, make their home in Seattle, Washington. They have three children. Mrs. McCaw, an investment banker, was a major fundraiser for the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush. From 2005 through 2007, the McCaws lived in Vienna, Austria, where Mrs. McCaw served as the United States Ambassador. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6467925418776545376-1625404959074534484?l=ayb2online.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ayb2online.blogspot.com/feeds/1625404959074534484/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6467925418776545376&amp;postID=1625404959074534484' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6467925418776545376/posts/default/1625404959074534484'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6467925418776545376/posts/default/1625404959074534484'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ayb2online.blogspot.com/2009/05/pioneer-of-telecommunications.html' title='Pioneer of Telecommunications'/><author><name>AYOJIDE BUREMOH ( STAYJID2000)* The Pathfinder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01911320188819269382</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SmW53Xfkoho/TbV18hz69EI/AAAAAAAAAiw/mjDpJWMxFLo/s220/Picture0179.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467925418776545376.post-5961552567080773985</id><published>2009-05-12T10:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T10:13:22.689-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to  Find A Niche For Your Blog</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;How to Find a Niche for Your Blog!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;Finding your blogging niche should be one of the aspects of blogging which the blogger carefully considers before starting a blog. This is especially important if the blogging is being done for the purpose of financial compensation. Ideally a blog owner should select a blog subject about which they are passionate and knowledgeable. However, Bloggers should also carefully consider the direct competition as well as the purpose of the blog before starting their blog. This article will discuss these considerations in greater detail in an attempt to assists Bloggers in choosing a subject for a new blog. This information is applicable to both Bloggers who are completely new to blogging as well as experienced Bloggers who are considering starting a new blog.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;Isolating Your Interests&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;One of the first considerations for a new blogger is his personal interests. This is important because a blogger who is passionate and knowledgeable about a particular subject will not only have an easy time coming up with ideas for new blog posts but will also likely be highly successful. This success will likely be attributable to the fact that blog visitors can sense his passion for the subject matter and greatly appreciate the knowledgeable posts which are informative and accurate.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;The interests of the blogger may run the gamut from subjects which are widely popular to subjects which are of interest to only a small subset of the population. However, there will likely be interested readers regardless of the subject of the blog. Therefore Bloggers are not discouraged from opting to blog about even the most obscure subjects. However, Bloggers who are seeking financial gain through high blog traffic should consider selecting a topic which appeals to a larger audience.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;Evaluating the Competition&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;Once a blogger has selected one or more subjects he is considering for a blog, it is time to begin evaluating the competition. This includes viewing other blogs covering the same subject matter. This will not only give the blogger a good indication of whether or not the market is already saturated with blogs on this subject and the quality of the existing blogs on this subject. Based on this information the blogger can make an informed decision about whether or not he feels capable of competing for blog traffic with the existing blogs.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;Considering the Purpose of the Blog&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Book Antiqua&amp;quot;;"&gt;Another important consideration for Bloggers is the purpose of the blogs. Blogs can be created for a variety of reasons including financial compensation, personal use or to promote a cause. Bloggers who are starting a blog for personal use may only wish to consider their own interests when starting a blog because they are not likely seeking high blog traffic. However, Bloggers who are creating a blog for purposes of generating a profit or promoting a cause do have to consider factors such as the ability to generate blog traffic. In these cases the blogger should choose a subject which appeals to a large audience. Additionally, the Internet should not already be saturated with blogs on this subject because it will likely be difficult for the new blog to garner a share of blog traffic. Finally, blog owners should consider the quality of the blog they are capable of creating on a particular subject. The blogger should choose a subject where he is confident he can not only make regular posts but also ensure these posts are original, informative and interesting.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6467925418776545376-5961552567080773985?l=ayb2online.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ayb2online.blogspot.com/feeds/5961552567080773985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6467925418776545376&amp;postID=5961552567080773985' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6467925418776545376/posts/default/5961552567080773985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6467925418776545376/posts/default/5961552567080773985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ayb2online.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-find-niche-for-your-blog.html' title='How to  Find A Niche For Your Blog'/><author><name>AYOJIDE BUREMOH ( STAYJID2000)* The Pathfinder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01911320188819269382</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SmW53Xfkoho/TbV18hz69EI/AAAAAAAAAiw/mjDpJWMxFLo/s220/Picture0179.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467925418776545376.post-5796569462516947257</id><published>2009-05-11T06:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T06:15:08.350-07:00</updated><title type='text'>PROTECT YOUR PC FROM VIRUSES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;PROTECT YOUR PC FROM VIRUSES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Would you be interested in learning how to save your entire&lt;br /&gt;computer's hard drive being wiped out? Then this report is&lt;br /&gt;for you! If you're connected to an online service, your&lt;br /&gt;computer is in constant danger of catching a deadly virus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people know that they can get a virus by downloading&lt;br /&gt;an infected file. What a lot of people don't realize is&lt;br /&gt;those viruses can be sent via email as well. Although you&lt;br /&gt;can't get a virus from an email message itself, it can be&lt;br /&gt;transmitted via an attachment. Believe me, I know! I've&lt;br /&gt;gotten a few myself! Luckily, my virus protection software&lt;br /&gt;detected them before I suffered the consequences. (Which&lt;br /&gt;can be very grave indeed!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don't have the luxury of a good virus protection&lt;br /&gt;software, you can still stay away from viruses sent via&lt;br /&gt;email. If you ever receive an unsolicited email message&lt;br /&gt;with an attachment, don't download it! If your email&lt;br /&gt;software downloads it to your hard drive automatically,&lt;br /&gt;don't open the file!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If an attachment looks like something of interest to you,&lt;br /&gt;copy it to a disk and bring it to someone with a good&lt;br /&gt;virus protection program. A good virus protection program&lt;br /&gt;must be new and preferably not virus specific. "Not virus&lt;br /&gt;specific", means that instead of searching for a specific&lt;br /&gt;virus based on a list of known viruses, it can find new&lt;br /&gt;viruses as well. Once you're sure the file is clean, then&lt;br /&gt;you can open it. Nothing is worth risking your hard drive&lt;br /&gt;and all the data on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a number of good virus protection programs that&lt;br /&gt;can be downloaded from the internet. Most of them are&lt;br /&gt;shareware programs that you can try for a month or so. If&lt;br /&gt;you are an AOL user for example, you have one of the best selections&lt;br /&gt;of virus programs right at your fingertips. Just go to&lt;br /&gt;keyword "virus" and select one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, you may think you're safe because your computer&lt;br /&gt;is working fine today. However, this may not be the case.&lt;br /&gt;Many viruses work to destroy files at a progressive pace&lt;br /&gt;and you don't realize you have one until its too late.&lt;br /&gt;Do yourself a favor and get some protection before it's&lt;br /&gt;too late.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

for “Really Simple Syndication”. It's basically a “web standard” (on the computer code level) which defines an agreed upon method of syndicating content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can think of it like HTML.  You don't need to know HTML in order to view a web page, but you do need a basic knowledge of HTML if you want to create your own web page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Likewise, it's not necessary to know all the ins and outs of RSS in order to syndicate your content. You just need to know that one line of RSS code which, when pasted into your web page, makes automatic content syndication possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's talk about content syndication for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you distribute articles to say, a website for marketing articles for free, then you’re basically syndicating your content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The catch is that this method is manual. Anyone who wants to reprint your content has to go to the “freemarketingarticles” site, copy your article, and then paste it onto their own web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a hassle. Any time you have static content that can only be changed by hand; you wind up with websites that aren't updated as often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the name of the game now is fresh, quality content which rotates frequently. This keeps visitors coming back to your site. This also appeals to the search engines (how often you update your site influences how often the search spiders come back for a visit, too!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Content syndication is also a link building tool. Some sites will simply pull in a link to your site, which will send traffic in your direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other sites actually pull in your content onto their own, dynamically generated pages. This allows them to display the content within their own “look and feel” (site template), as well as keep visitors from clicking away to another destination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting Syndicated:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have two options:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.   You can pull syndicated content onto your own site, so that you don't have to create all of your content on your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.   You can syndicate your content. This will allow other sites to display your articles and make up for their own content needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a good idea to implement both tactics for maximum coverage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, you aren't limited to articles here. A lot of e-commerce sites syndicate their product catalogs (these are called “product feeds”) for their affiliates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to take advantage of syndication, you need to implement RSS on your site. You can do this easily with any blog or PHP content management software.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also set this up on your hosting account with a few tweaks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, you can use a third-party content syndication service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;          &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6467925418776545376-6572283729611377962?l=ayb2online.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ayb2online.blogspot.com/feeds/6572283729611377962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6467925418776545376&amp;postID=6572283729611377962' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6467925418776545376/posts/default/6572283729611377962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6467925418776545376/posts/default/6572283729611377962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ayb2online.blogspot.com/2008/08/rss-content-syndication-rss-stands-for.html' title=''/><author><name>AYOJIDE BUREMOH ( STAYJID2000)* The Pathfinder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01911320188819269382</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SmW53Xfkoho/TbV18hz69EI/AAAAAAAAAiw/mjDpJWMxFLo/s220/Picture0179.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467925418776545376.post-7093280431224521116</id><published>2008-07-25T12:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-25T12:37:52.393-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WEB DESIGN</title><content type='html'>WEB DESIGN AS A CAREER AND PROFITABLE BUSINESS&lt;br /&gt;By Creative Touch Technologies&lt;br /&gt;If someone is going to ask us to recommend relevant home-based businesses for now and the future, there is one we would have on top of the list.

Corporations, non-profit organizations, government, educational institutions, military institutions, media houses and individuals are keeping their information and conducting businesses on the web.&lt;br /&gt;As a web designer (web developer or Webmaster), you are on the leading edge of information and communication technology revolution. You can create web sites that are seen by literally millions of people. The sites you develop may communicate information, educate people, influence public opinion, collect important data, entertain people, and sell products or services.&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to pick up a career in website design, this few tips would help you discover how to get started and subsequently get paid as a web designer.&lt;br /&gt;Getting Started: Skill Acquisition&lt;br /&gt;Designing for the web is quite similar to designing for a magazine page, except that you can also include animation and multimedia. You should have interest in art and design, graphics, drawing and photography, though you don’t have to be brilliant at all these. The process of web design covers a whole range of areas which you have to be acquainted with. They include:&lt;br /&gt;·        Artistic style, color theory, typography and other visual design.&lt;br /&gt;·        Information design&lt;br /&gt;·        Technical writing&lt;br /&gt;·        Multimedia presentations&lt;br /&gt;·        Marketing / Advertising&lt;br /&gt;·        System analysis and design&lt;br /&gt;·        Programming&lt;br /&gt;·        Network and Server Design&lt;br /&gt;·        Business issues and project management&lt;br /&gt;Thus, the following are the relevant software you would need to master to get equipped as a web designer.&lt;br /&gt;·        HTML: text editor, WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors such as FrontPage, Macromedia Dream weaver, Adobe Golive, etc.&lt;br /&gt;·        Web Graphics: Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, Adobe ImageReady, Corel Photopaint, Macromedia Fireworks, Xara Webstyle.&lt;br /&gt;·        Web Animation: Macromedia Flash, GIF Construction Set&lt;br /&gt;·        Dynamic HTML: JavaScript, VBScript.&lt;br /&gt;·        Web Multimedia: Windows Media, Real Media, Quick time.&lt;br /&gt;·        Database / Server Programming: Ms-Access, MySQL, Oracle, SQL server, ASP, PHP, JSP, Perl, Servlet, ColdFusion, etc&lt;br /&gt;Getting Paid: Marketing your skills &lt;br /&gt;It’s one thing acquiring the necessary skills for web design; it’s making money by designing websites. Generally, there are two options.&lt;br /&gt;1.       Working for a company&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of web design companies that employ web designers as part of their web development team. In addition, most corporate organizations, non-profit organizations, government and consulting companies have websites that do require maintenance and update. These tasks are usually carried out by an in-house Webmaster or contracted out for a fee. You could be hired for such jobs. I feel this is a good entry point for a starter so that you can gain the necessary experience to be able to stand on your own.&lt;br /&gt;2. Starting your own web development business.&lt;br /&gt;Before you decide on starting your own web development business, you must evaluate whether being on your own is the right choice for you. Being on your own has several advantages, such as: having the chance to make a lot more money than you can make working for someone else, job security, the chance to put your ideas into practice, and lots more. However, there are some few demerits that you must also consider. These include: having to take a large financial risk, working long hours, and having unsteady income stream.&lt;br /&gt;To start your web development business, you need a well-equipped computer and an access to the Internet. You may have to start as a freelance designer for no fee so as to have some web projects in your portfolio. As you gain experience on the job, you’ll be able to design sites for corporations and organizations that would earn you some income and put you on a steady revenue stream.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6467925418776545376-7093280431224521116?l=ayb2online.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ayb2online.blogspot.com/feeds/7093280431224521116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6467925418776545376&amp;postID=7093280431224521116' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6467925418776545376/posts/default/7093280431224521116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6467925418776545376/posts/default/7093280431224521116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ayb2online.blogspot.com/2008/07/web-design.html' title='WEB DESIGN'/><author><name>AYOJIDE BUREMOH ( STAYJID2000)* The Pathfinder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01911320188819269382</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SmW53Xfkoho/TbV18hz69EI/AAAAAAAAAiw/mjDpJWMxFLo/s220/Picture0179.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
