A Child Called "It"

fee — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:45:55 -0500

An author by the name of Dave Pelzer, has written his own autobiography.
It is absolutely, the most moving book I have ever read!
I have two children, and cannot fathom how a Mother could possibly do
what this woman did, to her own son.
Not just a few isolated incidents either..... he lived his early years in a
constant state of fear, pain and misery.
It's wonderful to hear that after all of that, he's come out on top, and through
his own story I'm sure, helped a lot of people.
This book is a real eye opener, to what may go on behind closed doors,
and is followed up in a sequel with, "The Lost Boy"....... and a third instalment,
"A Man Called Dave".
If you enjoy reading things that really stick in your mind, then you want to
read these books!
I read them several years ago, and so did my Husband (who doesn't read a lot)
and we both agreed to buy them, so we could read them again and share them
with our friends.

Color is a very important aspect of design and website in general. Picking the wrong colors may repel your costumers in subconscious level and make your website and business look amateurish and unreliable. Many things have been said about colors and what they represent. In this article I will explain some basic rules in choosing website color.

Colors are connected to certain associations, this is something to keep in mind. Red is a color associated with danger and it is very intensive, therefore you shouldn't make it the dominant color if you want to create calm, reliable atmosphere. Pink is a very feminine color so you better use it in websites related to children and women. Blue is the most popular color when it comes to website design because it represents calmness and reliability. White is the most popular color for a background, although many websites use black and dark backgrounds.

Local Business Index – like Yellow pages. This kind of indexes apply to people who are searching for services in their town or area. It is a good idea to sign your company into few such indexes in case your business is locally oriented like flower shop or electrician. Inclusion in these indexes , at least the most popular of them , is usually quite expensive but also useful from the point of view of customers seeking local service and search engines, since you can include your site URL and earn a strong incoming link .

How to Maximize your Page Rank

Why care about the Page rank?

As mentioned in previous articles, Page Rank is one of the familiar variables in determining appearance in SE results. Although today the importance of page rank has been descended, and sometimes we see pages of PR 3 or 4 getting to first places in Google, Page Rank is one of the variables SEO's often deal with because this is the variable we know a lot about and can approach sensibly. The second good reason to learn about PR is using it to emphasize important pages of your website, like the Homepage ( you know how annoying it is when SE presents some negligible page of your website higher than the Homepage)

What is PR?

PR ranges from 1-10 and indicates the number and quality of page incoming links.

Page Rank is calculated as follows:

PR(A) = log10((1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))) when :
