Nobody can be this dumb and live long. There's no person called "market", therefore it has no "interest". It's a decision of the current resource owners - and when demand increases (as in the case of a major disaster), they *have to* increase their prices until the supply is equal to the demand (if they don't, the first buyers will sell what they bought on the "black market" to those who value it more). Basic economics, even US public schools must teach that much. The stores might have been "depleted", but the high prices would have made it profitable to sell food there, and someone would have done that. Furthermore, the expectation of high prices due to an impeding disaster would have created incentives for "hoarding" - that is, gathering as many resources as possible, which would have attracted imports BEFORE the disaster. Price fixing destroys any incentive for spending now in order to profit later. Dumb americans. Mark

Using pictures as links 
by moviebuff＠cliffhanger.com 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

I'm changing my website and want to use pictures for the links to other pages. But, someone told me I should still put a 'click here' underneath all the pictures. To me, this removes all purpose of using the pictures. How can I get across that you click on the pictures to get to other pages without coming right out and saying so? For example, I have a page with actor and actress information and just want to have a picture of my favorite stars to click on and change the picture every couple of days.

Access using a proxy 
by "Zaak - Zaako"＠linkpaks.com 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

>From: CJ (cj5000(a)post.com) >Subject: Unblocking sites so I can access? (Issue #422) --> I am currently living in a place where the ISP is blocking 50% of the web. I was told by someone that you can unblock these web sites by using a proxy, but I don't know what that means. I am wondering is there a way to get access to these sites? -- A proxy is easy to use if you use someone elses, they can be tricky to setup yourself. I have had very good results with Surfola. Basically you surf to their servers and then from there you surf Through/From their servers. I have several places I surf from that block content. Surfola easily bypasses them! Its also Free! You can also make money with them but I just use them to bypass anal retentive ISP/Corporate providers and because they allow me to surf anonymously! I have a detailed right-up on them at <a href="http://linkpaks.com/paidtosurf/Surfola.php"> http://linkpaks.com/paidtosurf/Surfola.php </a> See there for more info.

Using A Proxy To Visit Blocked Sites

>From: CJ (cj5000(a)post.com) >Subject: Unblocking sites so I can access? (Issue #422) CJ, Two such sites that allows proxy surfing are: http://www.anonymise.com and http://www.anonymizer.com . However, if you cannot get to that site then obviously it will not work. Also note, that if your ISP is dictating to you which sites you may or may not visit, then it is time to change providers!

Also in the second or third paragraph is a misspelled word which should be "first-come" not as shown on the page. I feel a sample of the type of information offered in the newsletter should be displayed on the page as well as a sample of the free ads offered on the site. I will probably submit a free ad just to see the content of the newsletter. As has been mentioned many times, some information about the person doing the page is always good. We need some information about why this newsletter will be worthwhile to subscribe to. ~~~~ Dennis - I took a look at your site, and have recommendations for improving your page. 1- I use Internet Explorer and view web pages with my text size set to 'smaller'. The text you used was quite large, like a font used for a heading for all the text. By making the text size smaller it wouldn't feel like you were screaming at me. Also, the background was just too much. 2- There were spelling errors in the text. Often it might be difficult for you to spot these yourself if you see the page all the time, but have a friend look it over. Spelling errors make the page look unprofessional. 3- Offer a sample of your newsletter so people can see what it looks like before they subscribe. Also, if you are asking for a person to give you their email address, you MUST have a privacy policy and let them know they can unsubscribe. 4- Think about adding a form for people to subscribe to the newsletter. It looks more professional than just offering an email address to send to. 5- Offer information about yourself, and the kinds of information your newsletter contains. Maybe extend your site to include back issues or an archive to see what information you have offered in the past. 6- Build another page for 'sponsoring info' and put prices on that page. Remove all pricing information from the home page. ~~~~ I feel that the background is a little too bold and busy for the text. I also believe that the text is too large which makes it difficult to read quickly, and forces the reader to scroll down unnecessarily. I noticed some spelling errors, and I think that a link to the classifieds site should be provided, and online payments should be accepted. A site that sells advertising should have advertisments on it! ~~~~ This is a very clear site with nothing interfering with the message. I did not like the background colour, however that is personal, it did not detract from the information. I was tempted to sign up for the newsletter but would have liked a link to see a current issue. There was an error in the wording (a word missed) which needs correction and I think the fonts could be smaller. Overall a non-confusing site which makes a nice change. *cheers* ~~~~ Could use a better background and the fonts are very large, there also are errors in the following paragraphs : "first com-first serve" and "to place a sponsor advertisement, send your to my email" ~~~~ A single page site. It is necessary to subscribe to the webmaster's newsletter to see what he's doing, and it doesn't seem to me to be a way to get people to visit. I wouldn't, for example. He claims to have lots of tidbits of information that, he says, we probably didn't know, and this is possible, but in my opinion, he would be better served if he at least put some of the things out there for all to see - when the appetite, so to speak, if he want people to subscribe. As it is, I would not bother. ~~~~ What does one expect from a site like netsbestinfo? Some useful resources and some useful tips and also some forms of easy advertisement on the net. But what we get here is a newsletter with the owner (whose email reads damorgarjr(a)yahoo.com) asking us to subscribe us to his newsletter for a free 4-line ad. He also tells of paid category of advertisements. This is all we get from a site which has a grand title. Even the information about the newsletter is hardly impressive and is presented in about 35-to-40 points size which gets difficult to read. ~~~~ A neat enough site but the background could be a little hard on the eyes. There is only really one problem with this page - its just an advertisement for a newsletter. No, scratch that, its an advertisement to place free ads in a newsletter. A bold enough move perhaps but I learned hardly anything about the newsletter itself and immediately started worrying about getting a flood of ads to my email account so I didn't even subscribe. Presumably you'd want to get people to sign up so might I suggest splitting the page into the newsletter itself, perhaps a sample issue, a privacy policy and a promise not to drown in ads and then click for more info on your free ads. ________________________________________ VOTE ON YOUR FAVORITE WEBSITE DESIGN!

Using pictures as links 
by moviebuff＠cliffhanger.com 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

I'm changing my website and want to use pictures for the links to other pages. But, someone told me I should still put a 'click here' underneath all the pictures. To me, this removes all purpose of using the pictures. How can I get across that you click on the pictures to get to other pages without coming right out and saying so? For example, I have a page with actor and actress information and just want to have a picture of my favorite stars to click on and change the picture every couple of days.

A bold enough move perhaps but I learned hardly anything about the newsletter itself and immediately started worrying about getting a flood of ads to my email account so I didn't even subscribe. Presumably you'd want to get people to sign up so might I suggest splitting the page into the newsletter itself, perhaps a sample issue, a privacy policy and a promise not to drown in ads and then click for more info on your free ads. ________________________________________ VOTE ON YOUR FAVORITE WEBSITE DESIGN!

Nobody can be this dumb and live long. There's no person called "market", therefore it has no "interest". It's a decision of the current resource owners - and when demand increases (as in the case of a major disaster), they *have to* increase their prices until the supply is equal to the demand (if they don't, the first buyers will sell what they bought on the "black market" to those who value it more). Basic economics, even US public schools must teach that much. The stores might have been "depleted", but the high prices would have made it profitable to sell food there, and someone would have done that. Furthermore, the expectation of high prices due to an impeding disaster would have created incentives for "hoarding" - that is, gathering as many resources as possible, which would have attracted imports BEFORE the disaster. Price fixing destroys any incentive for spending now in order to profit later. Dumb americans. Mark

Using pictures as links 
by moviebuff＠cliffhanger.com 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

I'm changing my website and want to use pictures for the links to other pages. But, someone told me I should still put a 'click here' underneath all the pictures. To me, this removes all purpose of using the pictures. How can I get across that you click on the pictures to get to other pages without coming right out and saying so? For example, I have a page with actor and actress information and just want to have a picture of my favorite stars to click on and change the picture every couple of days.

Access using a proxy

>From: CJ (cj5000(a)post.com) >Subject: Unblocking sites so I can access? (Issue #422) --> I am currently living in a place where the ISP is blocking 50% of the web. I was told by someone that you can unblock these web sites by using a proxy, but I don't know what that means. I am wondering is there a way to get access to these sites? -- A proxy is easy to use if you use someone elses, they can be tricky to setup yourself. I have had very good results with Surfola. Basically you surf to their servers and then from there you surf Through/From their servers. I have several places I surf from that block content. Surfola easily bypasses them! Its also Free! You can also make money with them but I just use them to bypass anal retentive ISP/Corporate providers and because they allow me to surf anonymously! I have a detailed right-up on them at <a href="http://linkpaks.com/paidtosurf/Surfola.php"> http://linkpaks.com/paidtosurf/Surfola.php </a> See there for more info.
