Hey folks, I wanted to write today to introduce myself. I am a young mom of two rowdy boys, who happens to have a love of writing! I live in Kissimmee, Florida and work from home with my own business, offering my ghostwriting services for hire. The name of my business is Write Syntax, and I would like you to visit and check out some samples of my work. I know that in this day and age, you can find an article writer for 5 bucks a pop to create some content for your site. However, I am a big believer in you get what you pay for, and much of the content you might get for that price will not be of the quality and standards I will provide you. Unfortunately there are many folks out there willing to write up 400 words of rehashed or plagiarized garbage, and sell it to you as original content. And if you are like a big majority of folks out there, you are new to the Internet business, and don’t know any better but to buy it and be excited because you got such a great deal!

Then you get that sinking feeling when you run across that exact same article on someone else’s website, and feel down on yourself because you got taken in by someone who was only after a quick buck, and not interested in your own goals and plans for your website. Don’t feel bad about it, it happens to the best of us. We all would like to save money where we can, but creating content for your site should not be the place you try to cut corners. Your site content is what will attract your readers and keep them coming back for more. It should be quality content, relevant to the services your site offers, or if your site is just for fun, relevant to the topics your site specifies, and the topics your readers expect when landing on your site.

I do not want to say that only content is the key to the success. It can be about many skills, even the knowledge about how to capture video on screen. But the value of quality content for your site or blog is a real perk.

As an article writer and website owner myself, I have learned that quality is ten times better than quantity, and that is what I strive to offer other website owners with my ghostwriting services. All of my articles are guaranteed to be 100% original and unique, and centered around the keywords of your choice for the best SEO possible. I can write articles under my own name for you, or they can be ghostwritten and branded as your very own content that you wrote yourself. If you choose to have them ghostwritten they are 100 % yours to use however you like, and even rewrite yourself if you want in your own words. This content can be used for article directory submission, website content, blogging purposes, anything that you can think of!

You might also want Squidoo lens building, Hubpage building, so you can start building up your links to your main page, and generate more traffic. Copy writing is available as well, PLR packages, and blog posting packages. You can choose the frequency of blog posts and I can post them for you, or you can opt for a package of blog posts and set them up to post to your blog automatically through your blogging platform. If you are looking for certain services and don’t see them listed, it is possible to contact me and sort this issue out. So what are you waiting for?! If you need quality, unique content and ghostwriting services, hurry up and visit Write Syntax! I am ready and waiting to give you the service you are looking for at competitive prices!

Getting back to 90s web design - how the things were going at that time…

Let’s do a look back at 90s web design, and a warning to anyone whose website is an accidental anachronism. Remember the days when every PC was beige, every website had a little Netscape icon on the homepage, Geocities and Tripod hosted just about every single personal homepage, and “Google” was just a funny-sounding word?

The mid-late 1990s - the playful childhood of the worldwide web, a time of great expectations for the future and pretty low standards for the present. Those were the days when doing a web search meant poring through several pages of listings rather than glancing at the first three results - but at least relatively few of those websites were unabashedly profit-driven.

Hallmarks of 1990s how to design web site

Today when you hear that someone says that a website looks like it came from 1996, it’s no compliment. You start to imagine loud background images, and little “email me” mailboxes with letters going in and out in an endless loop. Amateurish, silly, unprofessional, conceited, and unusable - this is what we can say about it today.

Why were websites so bad back then?

Knowledge. A huge lack of it, before authorities like Jakob Nielsen starting evangelizing their studies of web user behavior. Difficulty. In those days, there weren’t abundant software and templates that could produce a visually pleasing, easy-to-use website in 10 minutes. Instead, you either hand-coded your site in Notepad or used FrontPage. Giddiness. When a new toy came out, whether it was JavaScript, Java, Frames, animated Gifs, or Flash, it was simply crammed into an already overstuffed toy box of a website, regardless of whether it served any purpose. No one would think about such stuff as captcha php code, it was Greek to the people. Why should we?

Browsing through the Internet Archive’s WayBack Machine, it’s hard not to feel a twinge of nostalgia for a simpler time when we were all beginners at this. Still, one of the best reasons for looking at 90s website design is to avoid repeating history’s web design mistakes. This would be a useful exercise for today’s personal homepages and even small business websites that are accidentally retro.

Splash Pages

In 1998 websites all over the internet discovered Flash. Suddenly you could no longer visit half the pages on the web without sitting through at least thirty seconds of a logo revolving, glinting, sliding, or bouncing across the screen.

Flash “splash pages,” as these opening animations were called, became the internet’s version of vacation pictures. Everyone loved to display Flash on their site, and everyone hated to have to sit through someone else’s Flash presentation.

Of all the thousands of splash pages made in the 1990s and the few still made today, hardly any ever communicated any useful information or provided any entertainment. That was completely the example of fashion, not clear thinking. Still, today, it is almost charming to think of a business owner actually putting ego well ahead of the profit to have been derived from all the visitors who hit the “back” button rather than sit through an animated

“Welcome to…” Every single website homepage in 1996 had to have the word “welcome” somewhere. After all, isn’t saying “welcome” more vital than saying what the web page is all about in the first place? Background images. Remember all those people who had their kids’ pictures tiled in the background of every page? Remember how much fun it was trying to guess what the words were in the sections where the font color and the color of the image were the same? Dark background, light text. My favorite was orange font on purple background, though the ubiquitous yellow white text on blue, green or red was nice, too. Of course, anyone who will make their text harder to read with a silly gimmick is just paying you the courtesy of letting you know they couldn’t possibly have written anything worth reading. Entire paragraphs of text centered. After all, haven’t millennia of flush-left margins just made our eyes lazy? “This Site Is Best Viewed in Netscape 4.666, 1,000×3300 resolution.” It was always so cute when site owners actually imagined anyone but their mothers would care enough to change their browser set up to look at some random person’s website. All-image no-text publishing. Some of the worst websites would actually do the world the service of putting all their text in image format so that no search engine would ever find them. What sacrifice!

Hyperactive Pages

TV-envy was a “hit” in 1990s web design. Since streaming video and even Flash were still in their infancy, web designers settled for simply making the elements on their pages move like Mexican jumping beans.

Animated Gifs

In 1996, just before the dawn of Flash, animated gifs were in full swing, dancing, sliding, and scrolling their way across the retinas of web surfers trying to read the text on the page. Yes - the real dark side of animated gifs

Scrolling Text

Just in case you were having a too easy time tuning out all the dancing graphics on the page, an ambitious mid-1990s web designer had a simple but powerful trick for giving you a headache: scrolling text. Through the magic of JavaScript, website owners could achieve the perfect combination of too fast to read comfortably and too slow to read quickly.

For a while, a business owner could even separate the serious from the wannabe prospects based just on how (un)professional their business websites looked. Sadly, the development of template-based website authoring software means that even someone with no taste or sense whatsoever can make websites that look as good as the most biggest-budget design of five years ago.

Of course, there are still some websites whose owners seem to be trying to spark a resurgence in animated gifs, background images, and ugly text. ‘ll just have to trust that everyone is laughing with them, not at them.

It is usual for the parents of the bride to organize the invitations weddings and be the hosts for the event. The mother of the bride is the key person who everyone relies on to get these invitations weddings to all the guests on time; normally about six to eight weeks before the wedding.

Whether the bridegroom’s parents contribute towards the cost of the wedding or not, the mother of the bride is still the person to send out wedding invitations. If the bride’s mother is deceased and the wedding is taken care of by an immediate relative, then the invitations to the wedding should be sent out by the couple instead.

Posting Out The Invitations On Time
As soon as the wedding plans are in the final stages and you know for a fact, what church you will use and the hall for the reception, then it is the appropriate time to send out the invitations weddings to your guest.
Some people think six weeks is sufficient time, but personally I would say 2 or 3 months before the wedding day is preferable. This is because some people plan ahead for holidays and vacations, so you don’t want to interrupt someone else’s schedule and make them feel guilty for not responding to your invitations weddings. Give some more regard to family members. You can tell some of them by word of mouth, but still make sure they get their written invitations to the wedding. It is advisable to post all the invitations out at the same time, if possible.

Invitation Styles
The invitations to the wedding must have a theme to depict the style of your wedding. This will allow your guest to know what to expect. For example for a formal wedding, the invitations would not be handwritten, but would carry a classy emboss typeface that indicates to your guest that you are having a formal wedding.
Invitations that are hand written suggest a small and intimate wedding. It gives a much more personal touch and lets your guest know that they were specially selected to be a part of your very private wedding.

Of course, you can buy invitations weddings at any stationery or printing shop, but you have to be very selective and careful to choose something with style and elegance. You may be able to find something that will fit the ideal wedding theme that you want to portray. Have a family member accompany you when you go to shop for wedding invitations. In these cases, you will have to handwrite these invitations since they are not customized for your specific wedding.

And ensure you put the right postage on your invitation envelopes. The heavier paper weight of your invitation and its envelope could take you above the standard postage charge.

And another task that you must not leave too late is choosing the person to act as your master of ceremonies for the wedding reception. Check out these articles for first rate advice on this very important role

Careful planning is the key to every successful wedding reception.

To be Invisible or Invincible

Once you toss your ring inside the business circle, there is no backing out. To survive the predictable vicissitudes punctuating the business world, there is no way you should let your business remain invisible. After all the trouble of investing and epensive advertising campaigns, your next move is to keep your business earning[/spin to stay alive (read profitable).

A show of force is needed to let people know your business is ready to provide them the goods or services they need. The economical way to stay noticed is to have your business logo evident in all your business card holders, business cards, stationeries, and website banner. Also come up with attention-grabbing promos and kick-ass strategies to outdistance competition.

True, businesses are picking up unconventional strategies to be noticed. Marketing expert Seth Godin emphasized the advantage of being different. Product, pricing, promotion, publicity, positioning, packaging, permission, and pass along are not enough; you need a purple cow - something different to get ahead in business. Cows look alike and people easily get bored with the usual marketing ploys so when you present something novel like a purple cow, they will sit up and notice.

For instance, you are advertising a new flask collection and introducing a new line of pewter flasks, how do you tower over others? Additional investment? Brazen promos? How about promoting or positioning your bid differently? Instead of the usual roll call that these are grand gift items, how about endorsing it as a utility item for travelers? You can also position these as inspired hotel giveaways for travelers and guests.

Bold and Beautiful

When people shop, they always linger on items with attractive packaging and reasonable pricing. With a plethora of competition out there, be bold and beautiful. Be bold with your pricing (a little bit lower than competition) and beautiful with creative packaging. Want more mileage? Do not think that the business challenges of the day you have conquered are the same as the next. With this go-get motto in mind you can survive and handsomely.

However, in business, it is not always about marketing products and raking in tons of cash. There are other contributory factors towards success inside and out of your business premises. Take time to dwell on the management side of the business:

* Are your employees happy?
* Is your working crew making your business a familiar household-friendly buzz word?
* Are they always using business stuff that displays your logo?
* Do they answer customer qustions promptly and politely?
* Are they dressed appropriately when they are on field dealing with potential customers and suppliers?

Your employees are the invincible forces in your business. They are the front liners and have all the opportunities to make or beak your business. Give them the ammo to show what your business can give. In “show” business, what customers see and hear will make that profitable difference.

The 3 day colon cleansing doesn’t scrape along like fibers or cause contractions and cramps like laxatives. It actually cleanses the entire colon, small intestine, and large intestine, all without side effects, pain or bloating. This is the ONLY cleanse in the world that contains the Oil palm fiber and I insure you this is unlike any cleanse you have ever tried.

Most colon cleaners are just the same rehash of things like psyllium, bentonite, slippery elm, marshmellow, harsh herbs like casacara sagrada, senna, etc, etc. I know because I used to work at a health food store and I am familiar with all the name brands. These inferior fibers work by sweeping the colon and can work, but it will probably take 30 days or longer.

Also, Psyllium and Bentonite can possibly cause more harm than good considering Bentonite is up to 35% Aluminum and psyllium can harden like cement creating an adverse reaction. When mixed with water, psyllium produces a substance called mucilage which is similar to adhesive glue binding to the fecal matter. Also Psyllium can cause an allergic reaction in some individuals and can possibly lower blood sugar, so it is ill advised for diabetics. The 3daycleanse ingredient, oil palm trunk fiber, penetrates the fecal matter, lubricates the colon wall. A safer and more effective process.

But Most importantly is that the so easy cleanse works in just three days unlike most programs that take up to a month or longer and require many pills, teas, etc.

The 3 day cleanse flushes out that 15 to 20 pounds of compacted fecal matter called mucoid plaque inside your colon and restores a healthy, perfectly balanced environment to your insides.

Would you rather take a greyhound bus or fly first class on concord jet? Would you rather spend 30 days cleaning your colon and a lot of hassle or do it better in THREE?

I personally know the president of a competitive brand and found out it only costs him about $10 to completely create his product and he turns around and sells it for $50. And other colon cleanses are no different as they offer the same rehash of ingredients.

The oil palm trunk fiber requires a 20 step process that includes probiotic fermentation so the product is fully digestible. This is not a cheap process and does drive up the cost, but the results you’ll get are exponentially better than other brands.

Iwhole-heartedly believe that you’ll save $2000-$5000 a year on medical, supplements food and drugs. I personally know healing retreats that charge $3000+ for intensive 30 juice fasting and cleansing just to get that build-up out.

A cleansed colon is the basis to health and having a system that is So Easy, Fast and Effective is priceless.

Thumb sucking is a concern lots of parents have. Toddlers suck their thumbs because it’s comforting and calming. It’s probably something they did before they were born and revert back to it when they are nervous, agitated, scared or feeling poorly. They may also use it to lull themselves back to sleep in the middle of the night.

Parents shouldn’t concern themselves unless it continues after the age their permanent teeth start to appear, around six years old. Experts say that it’s the intensity of the thumb sucking and the tongue’s thrust that deforms teeth and makes braces necessary later. Children who rest their thumb passively in their mouth are less likely to have difficulty than kids who suck aggressively. If you’re concerned, closely monitor your child and analyze their technique. If they appear to be sucking aggressively, you may want to start curbing their habit.

Punishing or nagging your child to stop won’t help because it’s normally an automatic response. Attempting to curb it by placing an elastic bandage on their thumb or another method will seem like an unjust punishment, especially as they indulge in the habit for comfort and security.

Try to wait it out. Children normally give up thumb-sucking when they’ve found other ways to calm and comfort themselves. Think about offering them other alternatives to comfort themselves such as a soft blanket or lullaby toy.

The key is to notice when and where they are likely to suck their thumbs and offer an alternative. If it happens while they are tired, try giving more naps. If they suck their thumb frequently while watching television, try to distract them with a toy that will keep their hands occupied.

Older children may need gentle reminders to curtail thumb sucking while in public, and praise should be given freely when the child finds and uses an acceptable alternative. Your child’s pediatric dentist can offer other suggestions for helping your child kick the thumb sucking habit.

If there is one stage of child development that seems to fill many parents with dread then it has to be toilet training. I think this originates from our own parents and grandparents telling us tales of woe about their own experiences of toilet training their children. But that was ages ago and knowledge about child development has grown dramatically. That means that your experience of toilet training can be very different from that of your mother or grandmother. The key is to follow a reputable toilet training program. And that actually starts well before you introduce your child to a potty. Check out the following articles for further advice

And the guidance applies equally well whether you are toilet training a boy or girl.

What are fuel efficient vehicles

The cost of gas is more now than it has ever been. In many locations people are paying twice as much per gallon as they were two years ago. No one would be surprised to hear and that the prices are just going to continue to get higher. This has many consumers very concerned and they are looking for other options. Certainly they can’t afford to continue just paying the posted price at the pumps. On the other hand, they can’t stop going to work or going about their daily routine that requires the use of a vehicle.

Are the times of dreams to buy used japanese car over?

A good strategy, to which some people are leaning, is to switch to non standard, more fuel efficient vehicles. There are several options, so take your time evaluating them, and make a good choice. You may find a combination of vehicles is the way to go. A good example is to use a motorcycle to get to work and then a fuel efficient hybrid car in which the family can get around.

There are advantages as well as disadvantages to each of the various fuel efficient vehicles. The goal is to save money without giving up safety and comfort. You should be able to find at least one fuel efficient vehicle that can do this for you.

What are the types of fuel efficient vehicles?

When it comes to fuel efficient vehicles, there are many different types from which to choose, such as vehicles with two wheels like motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters. In many ways these are each similar to one another, but there are enough significant variations to classify them differently. For example, a motorcycle can obtain much higher speeds than a moped or scooter.

There are also laws that pertain to where you can ride mopeds and scooters. They often aren’t allowed on highways or freeways where there is a high speed limit. They are mainly used for in-town riding, whereas motorcycles can travel on highways and other more heavily-traveled arteries.

There is also a lower age limit for obtaining a license for a moped or scooter, as compared to obtaining a license for a motorcycle. You will need to refer to the specific laws and regulations in your particular area.

Fuel efficient vehicles that feature four wheels include hybrids, those that operate by burning bio-diesel fuel, as well as fuel efficient gas-powered cars. All of them feature a variety of different models by various manufacturers. Since there is great interest in these vehicles now, you will find that more are being offered in order to keep up with consumer demand.

Mopeds

A moped is similar to a motorcycle in a variety of ways, although it isn’t a mode of fuel efficient transportation that you can use to travel on the highway. The highest speed of travel for a moped is about 35 miles per hour. At such a slow speed, you would be a hazard to yourself and others on busy roadways.

A moped has a 50cc engine. This means you will have enough power to get around, but not enough power to be a hazard on the road. Make sure to wear a helmet when you operate a moped to be on the safe side.

Mopeds are really great for driving in town - they are perfect for it. That is because they are extremely lightweight. You can buy a new moped for only a couple of thousand dollars. You can get a used one for less than that, if you take the time to look in the right places.

Most of the mopeds out there feature a basket on the front in which you can place carry-along items for better convenience. You won’t be able to do a large amount of shopping, but you will have enough room for a few basic items.

In most states you must be at least 16 years of age to get a valid license to operate a moped. This often requires completing a course of instruction as well as a written test. The rules can vary, so make sure you find out how they apply in your own area.

For example in many locations if you already have a valid state driver’s license that was issued before 2001, you are exempt from the above process. You are automatically able to operate a moped in town without having to obtain the additional licensing.

Scooters

An electric Scooter is a notch below a moped in terms of speed. They aren’t going to go more than 20 miles per hour. Still, you can use them to get around faster and easier than by riding a bicycle. They are great if you live in an area where things are relatively close and you don’t have public transportation available.

The laws are very different when it comes to who can legally operate a scooter. They also depend on the type of scooter. In some areas children as young as 12 years of age are able to operate scooters. In other places though you must be the same age as required to legally operate a vehicle and have a valid driver’s license.

You can easily find a small sized scooters featuring a board on which you stand. This board is similar to a skateboard. Some models have an extremely thin board, whereas, other models have a fairly wide board. There is a handle, shaped like the letter T which is adjustable to your height, which you use to maneuver the scooter. There will be a small gas tank on the side of a scooter that can hold up to five gallons of gas. Many scooters have a pull-start mechanism that you need to engage before you can get the fuel to run through the system in order to obtain the necessary power to move about.

Some of the more expensive scooters look like mopeds, but they operate via the use of a battery and electricity. These models may or may not use gas depending on which model you select. Those that do require the use of gas, aren’t going to consume very much of it.

It is a depressing thought, but as the children go back to school in September; Winter and all it’s horrors really is only a few weeks away. It may be unfortunate in the extreme to have a breakdown in summer, but it can be thoroughly life threatening in winter.

The good news is that you can do a few simple checks yourself to ensure that you reduce your risks to an utter minimum. You can also make a few simple steps to prepare your car to the coming winter weather, and in so doing you’ll make your winter driving a good deal easier and less stressful.

First of all make sure you have your servicing done & up to date following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Many of the checks we’re going to do ourselves should be carried out during the service, but remember, especially with service intervals lengthening, a clean bill of health on the day the car was serviced doesn’t mean things won’t worsen to crucial levels before the next service.

Tyres are one of the most important safety components of your car, and they are extremely straightforward to check. First of all check the tyre pressures. Remember that even without leakage, your tyre pressures will decrease as the temperatures decrease. This is because the air inside the tyre shrinks as it becomes cooler. Next you must check the tyre tread depth, whilst you may get away with running your tyres right down to the legal limit in summer, you really need the tread in winter in order to give you grip through the rainwater and snow. At the same time, check the tyre tread & walls for cracks, cuts and anything that may be piercing them.

Finally, you may want to consider having a set of additional wheels fitted with winter tyres, and fitting those at the end of September. You are permitted Winter Tyres in the UK, so long as they don’t have spikes. These tyres have specially designed tread that pumps away the water, snow and mud, so they really help you even in mild but wet winters such as we often have in the UK.

Next take a look at your Windscreen Wipers. These too are important for safety and easy to check. Just lift the Wiper Blades away from the windscreen, and wipe the blades clean with a soft damp cloth., look for cracks, cuts and tearing, particularly on traditional Wiper Blades, where the blade is held by the feet of the frame. Also check the joints in the wiperblade frame & make sure they are free, but not loose or worn. If you have Flatblade Wipers, you don’t have any joints to worry about.

Consider fitting Silicone Windscreen Wiper Blades. These stay flexible right down to -60°C, and don’t allow ice to stick to them as much as rubber.

Check your windscreen for minute chips or cracks. These can be patched up quite cheaply, or even free if you have comprehensive insurance. If you leave them, water can get in & then freeze, causing the screen to crack.

Under the bonnet check the water hoses for cracks & leaks. A good tell tale for coolant leaks is the fluorescent dye that’s included in antifreeze. If you see traces of this, get the problem sorted now. After you’ve done that, have the coolant antifreeze concentration checked. Most garages & many car shops will do that for free.

Have a good look at the drive belts for cracks and wear. A good check for the generator belt is to switch on all the car lights, heated screen & other electrical equipment, then let the car idle for a few seconds before blipping the throttle. If the belt is loose or worn, you’ll hear a screech.

On Petrol cars, have a good look at the ignition leads, make sure they are clean & free from cracks. Check the connectors at both ends of the ignition leads for cleanliness & cracks. A good test for ignition system condition is to open the bonnet after dark & run the engine at idle whilst you look for any sparks. Sparks tracking along a surface may be due to cracks, dirt, or just poor insulation.

Finally check your service schedule. If it specifies that your car needs a Cam Belt or Timing Belt replacement, check your Service Invoices to make sure it has been done according to schedule. If in doubt, get it done. Cam Belts lose their flexibility as temperatures fall, and a breakage can cause catastrophic engine damage.

Let’s start by looking at the typical duties of the father of the bride.

Tradionally the father of the bride paid for the majority of the wedding costs. daysNowadays, the groom’s parents and the couple themselves usually contribute.

Of course, the father’s main duty is to walk his daughter down the aisle. Even if you are not having a church wedding most brides still opt to observe this tradition.

The other very public duty of the father of the bride is to make a speech at the reception. Normally this includes some funny and touching story about his daughter, welcoming his new son in law into the family and thanking the guests for joining in the wedding celebration. The speech usually ends with a toast to the bride and groom.

Generallythe bride’s parents act as hosts for the wedding reception. If there is to be an official receiving line then they will usually be the first two people to greet the guests. Alternatively, a parent from both families could be the first two people to greet the guests.

The father of the bride may be responsible for ensuring the wedding cars, or other modes of transport such as horse drawn carriage, arrive on time. And of course he has to ensure his daughter at the ceremony arrives on time, or only a few minutes late!

Often the father of the bride can feel left out of all the preparations that go into planning a wedding. Whilst most fathers would not want to get involved in picking floral arrangements, color schemes, wedding reception themes etc there are some duties that he might might be willing to take on.

For instance, most men consider themselves good at map reading and giving directions so what about asking your father to be in charge of sending maps and directions for getting to the ceremony venue and from the ceremony venue to the reception venue? Such information is sure to be welcomed by all out of town guests.

Now let’s take a closer look at the emotional side.

Don’t just assume that your father will give you away on your wedding day. Ask.

If there is to be a father and daughter dance at the reception why not let your father choose the song you dance to. Perhaps something that reflects his personality or a song that has some special meaning.

Ask your future husband to discuss outfits with both his own father and yours. Traditionally the fathers wear the same outfit as the groom and best man so you want them to be comfortable with the choice of outfit.

Your wedding day is an emotional occasion for your father. Leave a little momento for your father to find on his return home after the reception. Perhaps a framed photograph of you and your dad, or a poem about fathers and daughters, or a hand written note thankingt your dad for all that he has done for you over the years.

And don’t forget to say a special goodbye to your father before you and your new husband leave the reception.

One of the best ways you can ensure that you, your husband to be and the rest of the Wedding Party can relax and enjoy the wedding reception is to ask a responsible friend or family member to act as your master of ceremonies. Check out these articles to learn more
