I’ve been kicking around some business ideas for quite awhile now. Third Floor Cards is a site that I started and then put off for a long time… and it’s one that I would still like to see up and running with a decent site and some good business running through it.
But the most recent one that I have started is The Teacher’s Forum. Currently, it is a dull yaBB forum with a generic look, but it is functional and up and running. So far the only registered members are me (administrator) and my wife, Jill. There are three posts. Two are introductions in the “Break the Ice” section.
We’ll be continuing the design of the site to make it look less generic and more eye-catching when people first come to the forum, but this brings up two questions:
1) Is yaBB (a freeware forum software) the right software to use for this forum, or should I use something more “well-known” throughout the forum world like vBulletin? I’d have to buy a license for the vBulletin software.
2) What is the best way to encourage people to be the first ones to post on a new forum? I’ve thought about using a service like ForumShock to jump start it, but is there a better way?
In beginning to answer number 2, I will be offering free “upperclassman” membership to the first 50 people to register and introduce themselves (in the “Break the Ice” section) on the site. However, I don’t have any kind of paid membership level (yet), so they’ll be taking it on my word that the site will, in the future, have that capability. Which begs the quetion laid in 1, above again - is yaBB the right forum software for the site?
I also spent some time yesterday listing The Teacher’s Forum on search engines and free site-listing web-pages to help bring up the site’s “link love,” as so many search engine optimization (SEO) gurus (like Rae Hoffman and Jeremy Schoemaker) call it.
Any other suggestions and help would be appreciated! Leave a comment if you have any ideas…
And if you want to register and be among the first 50 people to get your free lifetime “Upperclassman” membership, I certainly won’t shed any tears over you posting and helping to get the site active!
Fair Winds,
Andrew

I have found in article which tells about apportunity of earning thousands dollars for a couple of weeks, while laying total 6 dollars. Further you should send a dollar to each 6 E-gold accounts, which are enumerated bellow. Then strike out first mentioned E-g old account at the same time removing the list up line – that is to say that the 6th line is getting and you are supposed to register the numbers of your E-gold account there. In this respect you could spread your message. None of tricks! You’ll be none the worse for this, and the only thing I could lose is 6$. So, I made up my mind to try… and, could you guess what happened!
Only 7 days after that I began touching money! I was astonished! But all at once I thought that everything was over. But nothing of the sort! During the first week I received 25$, the end of the next week it was 1000$. It was the 4th week when the sum made up 42000$ and this sum increasing rapidly till now. And all this cost 6$ only?! I couldn’t believe that it was working until I started touching money from all over the world.
Now I’ll try to explan how and – what is most important – why it is working I do promise you, that if, you accurately follow stated bellow instructions, you’ll receive much more money you thought without making any effects. Follow the each instruction and money will come to your E-gold account. Accept the offer without more ado! It is completely legal. And your confirmation only 6$.
What is of great importance, that it isn’t cheat and unlegal; for all that you don’t take any risk while the system serving you. Follow the exact instruction and you’ll receive nearly 50000$ for 20 – 60 days.
All this well organized due to participants’ honesty.
There are very three steps to access:
1. You should create E-gold account, which address is http://E-Gold.com. Learn thoroughly the system, contribute 6$ to your E-gold account.
2. Send 1$ to the one number of the E-gold accounts enumerated bellow. Put down obligatory phrase in line. NOTE: “Please, enter my name to the list of E-gold accounts.”
At last here it the list of the E-gold accounts:
1) 5160180
2) 5160202
3) 5160221
4) 5160266
5) 5160308
6) 5160333
Now strike out the first mentioned E-gold accounts removing the list up a line (6 grows 5, 5 grows 4…) and put down your E-gold account in the 6th line.
3. Make any changes you like, but maintain the main idea. Place this article on not less then 200 News groups and forums. Keep in mind, the more E-gold accounts you place, the bigger return you have.
This business exist and prospers due to the honesty and seriousness of participants only.
So, by the time you achieve the first position, you’ll have thousands of money only being the creator of the list! It cost you 6$ and little work. Make it now, not delay for tomorrow. Time presses!
Now I’ll tell you why you lose nothing but win.
Let’s see, if I place 200 lists an and receive only 5 answers, that means, that I’ll receive 5$ being on the 6th position of the list. Now these 5 persons make 200 lists each with my E-gold lists in the 5th line. Let’s think that only 5 persons answer to those first five. In this respect you’ll receive 25$. Then these 25 persons make 200 lists with my E-gold account in every one but on the 4th line (because they put down theirs). And in this case (when 5 persons answer) my income is 125$. Now these 125 persons having placed and received only 5 answer give me return of 625$ (I find myself on the 3d position).
I receive 3125$, is it impressive. And it cost only 6$.
Could you imagine, that every day thousands people use INTERNET and read these articles! The same as you read this one now. So what? Will you spend only 6$ to find out weather it works?
And some words for pessimists. What it would be if the business falls and I don’t receive money? Let it be. Every day appear from 20000 to 50000 new user in INTERNET! According to specialists prognosis, the quantity of users will increase to 21 millions (now it consists of 9 mln) till 2006 year it is possible that many of them will be ready to try themselves in something new.
How to spread the information in forums:
1. Open searcher http://google.com
2. Write the phrase: wwwboard forum post start new topic .
3. Searcher will find thousands of sites with references which shows the form for making a new topic of forum.
The method is checked on 100% and has been working already five years.

Hi folks
Just trapped on a little tool to slice website images.
Quick in preparing ready html from simple single-image site design.
Program is rather crappy and cheap (especially comparing to similar function in PhotoShop).
But! Just look what books come as a bonus:
Search Engine Optimization: An Hour a Day
Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition
Webmaster in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition
etc…
I wonder how $270 priced books can be sold for just 20 dollars…
Anyway here’s link: http://www.sliceimage.com/
Hope these books will help you as well.

Hi Guys,
Not sure if you have seen this but my friend said he has used them and they are very good. Sorted his debts out no problems.
Going to try them myself and see what they say. If anyone else has tried them, can you let me know if they are any good or not please?
They say they will give you 120% refund if they dont sort things out for you. Sounds good to me
They are at www.kickdebtnow.com let me know how you get on and if i have a result I will let you guys know.
Cheers,

То, что будет сказано, во многом применимо ко всякой любовной связи, будь вам девятнадцать или 90. Но когда вы впервые влюбляетесь в молодого мужчину 18—30 лет, помните о том, что он только что вынырнул из мира, где царит дух соперничества и рассказывают небылицы друзьям о своих сексуальных победах и опытах. Немалая часть мужской личности основывается на скользком склоне сексуального успеха. Мужчины достигают своего сексуального пика в районе 20 лет — в отличие от женщин, которые, вероятно, более восприимчивы и сексуально отзывчивы в возрасте примерно 30 лет. Грандиозное восьмикратное повышение уровня половых гормонов в возрасте 13— 14 лет означает, что ваш возлюбленный думает теперь о сексе ежедневно. Но у этого есть три стороны. Во-первых, он мечтает о любовной близости с вами. Во-вторых, о том же он думает и в отношении почти всякой другой женщины. В-третьих, он враль по природе — жаждет поразить равным образом и сверстников, и партнерш рассказами, демонстрирующими его мужественность. Так что любовная близ
ость с ним в этом возрасте требует умения твердо отделять лес от деревьев и об-ман от реальности. Не обойтись без многократных физических поощрений — так что приготовьтесь проводить немало часов в обнаженном виде.
Не забывайте, что до тех пор, пока мужчина не «проделал все» хотя бы однажды, он, скорее всего, будет оставаться в некотором роде созерцателем своего собственного наслаждения. Имеется в виду, что он будет пребывать как бы вне испытываемого, не будет расслаблен как нужно, а его мозг будет работать с задержкой, не поспевая за переживаниями. Он также может делать вид, что уже знает, что делает, а при этом отчаянно копировать ваши действия, пытаясь судорожно догадаться, чего вы хотите.
Когда ваш возлюбленный настолько неопытен, требуется поощрение. Это не значит, что вы должны мириться с бесчувственностью. Но если он делает вид, что знает ваше тело лучше, чем вы, или обращается с вами так же грубо, как обращался бы с собой, или пытается водрузить свои ноги поверх ваших, когда следовало бы принять менее амбициозную позу, направляйте его. Выражайте свое желание в виде побуждений: «Мне нравится, когда ты делаешь X» — вместо «Не так, глупенький!» Если наступает утрата эрекции или преждевременный оргазм, не делайте из этого драму и не превращайте это в повод для выяснения отношений. Просто продолжайте целоваться. Почти наверняка никаких физических проблем у него нет, потому лучше всего перенесите ласки на другие части тела, пока вы не испытаете удовлетворения. У молодых мужчин эрекция способна восстанавливаться очень быстро.

And Kim Kardashian braved the California heat to head out to dinner with her booty and her beau hunk Reggie Bush not far behind. The two were spotted having a romantic dinner at the hip Koi restaurant where by all accounts their love bird fest was still going strong. Kim has been known to be a D-lister who loves loves loves her track suits, and it looks like she put the pink velour away for the night and glammed it up. She is wearing a form fitting satin gown and has sleeked her hair in glossy bone straight locks. This look is much easier to achieve if you already have straight locks, but some straightening serum and a wide flat iron will do the trick as well. Use the serum on your hair right after the shower, and blow dry with a flat paddle brush. Run the flat iron over your hair, just running it down from root to tip. If your hair is a little stubborn for the straightener, leave the heat on a little longer. Spray some anti-humectant on your locks once you ve finished that, and then run the flat iron over yo
ur hair again. This will lock in both shine and anti-frizz control, and will give your hair an extra boost of straightening. For a sleek look like Kim, spritz on some shining gloss for a finish.

Hello Everybody
Just wanted to share my new experience.
If your system fails to start due to an error related to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other important system boot files you can fix this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then run “attrib -H -R -S” on the C:\Boot.ini file and remove it. Run “Bootcfg /Rebuild” and then Fixboot

Приветствую, уважаемые форумчане. Я уже довольно давно занимаюсь коллекционирование различных видеороликов на разные тематики. Так бы и пылилось это добро на моем винчестере, если б от нечего делать я не решил сделать сайт, куда и выложил большую часть клипов и так же регулярно добавляю новые. Большей часть, клипы раритет и индивидуальные. Например, есть у меня особая гордость - видеоролики из Питерского публичного дома. Не буду рекламировать этот салон, или так скажем - антирекламировать, но там в каждой комнате стояла скрытая камера. Большей часть лица там скрыты, оно и понятно, но ролики загляденье, жалко лица плохо видны, а то жены бы порадовались этих Дон Жуанов. В общем, создал я сайт, хочу узнать ваше мнение о сайте, о клипах, о дизайне, если не трудно, выскажите свое мнение по данному ресурсу. Я весь дизайн сам с нуля поднимал, пока на бесплатном хостинге лежит, зато место неограниченно и стабильно, потом перенесу на выделенный сервер. Все клипы лежат на выделенном сервере уже и скорость очень высокая. Жду ваших комментариев в этом топике, было бы интересно узнать мнение народа.
