Online Merchant Services
An online merchant service is one that enables you to make payments on the internet. Typically, online merchant services work through Internet merchant accounts that are provided through an acquiring bank. This acquirer effectively allows you to accept or make payments through credit cards online. As it is the case with almost any business decision, there are a number of both advantages as well as disadvantages to online systems of payment and also to other types of processors of credit card. On a general basis, the advantages tend to be tied to having a direct control of the system for processing the payment. On

The Procurement
There are several things that are important about procurement that you should consider. In a business standpoint, timing is virtually essential. If you are like many business owners, the best time is the time when prices will be low enough to handle. This can be quite difficult to call and even more so, it will be difficult to manage. But, when procurement is used effectively, your business truly can reach new heights. What should you consider in procurement?• You will want to consider the timing. If you take delivery of the product now, will you have to pay additional inventory costs? If you wait ano

RSS feeds have made it very convenient to syndicate information from various sources. Most of websites and services that publish fresh content, such as ezines, press release, new agencies, blogs make their content available thru RSS feeds. As new content is published the RSS feed gets updated automatically.

Adding RSS feeds to web pages has many advantages. Let us say you have added RSS feeds from a popular ezine on one of your web pages.

• The content of the web page is automatically updated as the ezine makes new content available via RSS feeds. Every time search engine spiders crawl your web page they are likely to find the web page updated.

• The visitors to your web site will also find new content on every visit and they might be tempted to visit your web page more often.

• You do not have to bother about writing fresh content as RSS feeds are updated automatically.

Earlier I had written an article on adding RSS feeds to a web page using java script. While this method makes fresh content available to the readers, the content of the feed cannot be “read” by search engine spiders. Therefore the web page does not get the benefit of changing content from the search engines.

On the other hand php based installation makes it possible for spiders to notice the changing content of the web page. This article is a follow-up of my previous article which outlines simple steps to put RSS feeds on a web page.

For the purpose of this article I have chosen the free version of software available from CaRP. The software can be downloaded from this site:

The instruction manual which comes with the package gives detailed instructions for installing and running the software. Additional information is available from the site. While there are several options available for using the software, I am showing here the simplest steps to load and run the software:

1. Download the software on your computer. It comes in a zip file. After unzipping save the available folders and files on your computer. These files and folders will be available – carp (folder), img (folder), carpsetup.php, README.html .

2. Upload all the files and folders to the root directory of your website. This can be done by using FTP. If uploading is done file by file, ensure that the names of the files and folders, and location of files in their folders do not change.

Popular Web Browsers
Today, users are given many options when choosing their web browser of choice, and it is imperative that your web site displays properly in which ever web browser your customers may be using. Many Net Shift Media clients have asked why it matters what browser they use, and shouldn't they be able to use any browser to view their web site in the exact same way? and the answer is truly simple... YES!Microsoft Internet Explorer is losing its hold on the browser marketplace, and with the growth in popularity of Firefox closing in on 15% of the market, you need to consider the way your web site displays in each of

Webwise: 5 Simple Blogging Tips To Help You Make Friends And Influence People
I’ve heard a lot of people talking about blogging and the suggestion that it’s the true emancipation of the decimation of information.While that might sound like a lyric from a 80’s protest rap song, it’s certainly one of the principle benefits of blogging.With an opinion and a blog, someone can publicize their thoughts in a truly democratized way: if someone disagrees with you, they’ll tell you as much. Thus, my blog exists as a means for me to store my opinions and allow those like-minded to read and comment.But there’s a flip-side to all of this, and it’s a dark one. What if your blog is nev

Ever heard of non-disclosure agreements? Perhaps, you have heard them referred to as confidentiality agreements, or a similar term. In either case, how familiar are you with them?Are you aware that if you are in a specific business, a non-disclosure agreement can spell the difference between the proverbial life and death of your business, particularly, if your business has employees, contractors or interns?So, what are non-disclosure agreements?Non-disclosure agreements are defined as contracts that restrict the disclosure of confidential information or proprietary knowledge under specific ci

How to Grow Your Business by Clearing the Way to Growth
Is your business growing as fast and effectively as it could, or is it stuck at the same level it has been at for years? Research (Larry Greiner, 1972) has discovered 5 specific stages of business growth. Most business never grow beyond the second level. At this level, the business is characterised by a small group of owners (if not a sole owner), supported by a small team of people at an operational level. This describes the 90 plus percent of businesses, which have 10 or fewer staff.Why should it be this way? The Greiner growth model describes 5 levels of growth that are characterised by the type of

3. Create a new mySQL database.

4. Run the setup file carpsetup.php from you web browser.

5. A new page will be displayed. On this page select mySQL database option which is easier of the two options given there.

6. Another new page will open in which you have to fill the details of mySQL database. Click on “Create Database Tables”.

7. The page which opens now will have code which has to be put on the web page where you want to show RSS feed. The code will be displayed in a gray box.

8. Within the code there is “setup code”. This setup code should be pasted into a file called carpconf.php . The file will be available in carp directory. On the html script of this file locate the line “//Add configuration code that applies to all themes here” . Just below this line paste the setup code.

9. Choose a web page where RSS feed has to be displayed. The file name of the page should have .php extension. If your page has .html or .htm extension, you can try replacing only the extension with .php . Normally this should not change the way the page appears in a web browser. If you encounter any problem you could make a new web page with .php extension.

10. At appropriate location of the web page, where you want RSS feed to be displayed, paste the code in the html script of the page. From there you can remove the setup code. It is not required to be added to all pages once it has been added to carpconf.php page in step 8 above.

11. If you now open your web page in the web browser it will start showing the RSS feed which comes along with the package. For changing this to RSS feed of your choice you will need to make changes in the code you have entered in step 10. In the code there is a URL after CarpCasheShow. Change this URL with the URL of RSS feed you wish to display.

Now the web page will display the RSS feed of your choice. You can choose to display more feeds on the same page or have separate pages for RSS feeds for different sources.

You can see this page on my website on which RSS feed has been added using exactly the steps shown here.

In this industry, we tend to worry about the wrong things. This is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Instead, we should take a more global perspective on the problem, organize ourselves accordingly and conquer it.

The positive effects of networking – such as building a new relationship or finding a partner – don’t just happen by themselves. You need to be proactive and willing to put the time and energy into networking. You have probably met people who don’t see the benefits of networking. For the benefits to start to appear, you need to be motivated, you need to be patient, you need to set goals and you need to think positively.
