Let's start with 10 common errors you just avoid.

1. Don't Day Trade
It doesn't work as all short term volatility is random and prices can and do anywhere in a day and you have the odds firmly against you and will lose longer term.

Ever seen a day trader with a long term track record of success? No neither have I avoid it and trade longer term trends where you can get the odds on your side.

2. Don't Try and Predict
Predicting is simply hoping and guessing and won't get you far - trade the reality of price change. No one knows the future and your predictions will end up as accurate as your horoscope!

3. Don't use Science
Don't believe anyone who tells you markets move to a scientific formula they don't - if they did we would all know the price in advance and their would be no market.

Trading is a game of odds - not certainties but you can win if you know and trade the odds. You won't win every trade but over the longer term you can pile up huge FX profits.

4. Don't Trade Scared Money
If you can't afford to lose stay away, forex markets are extremely risky and if you are worried about losing your discipline will break down and you will lose

Basics On Copyrighting Your Photographs

By Diana Cooper

This article is intended on providing only the basics about copyrighting your photographs within the United States (at this time of writing, 12-11-07). No legal advice is applied. For more detailed information you can visit the official Copyright website (URL below).

--As of March 1, 1989, copyright has been made automatic. The need to register with the Copyright Office is no longer required to provide protection. Once you create a picture, you own the copyright. A copyright notice (for example, a copyright symbol or watermark) is also no longer required to protect your photographs (excluding older works); however, many photographers continue to use to identify themselves and the date of creation.

--As a general rule, for works created on or after January 1, 1978 the copyright is legally yours throughout your life plus 70 years beyond that unless you decide to pass your rights on to another.

--Before an infringement suit may be filed in court, registration is necessary. Registered works (if registration occurs within 5 years of publication) serve as prima facie evidence (proof) of a valid copyright. Registered works may also be eligible for statutory damages and attorney's fees in successful litigation.

--If someone was to steal your photographs, they can be liable for statutory damages up to $30,000 ($150,000 if willful infringement is proven by the copyright owner) for each work infringed on and may also be liable for attorney's fees incurred by the copyright owner.

--Copyright covers both published and unpublished works.

--To register photographs you will use the Visual Arts form which you can find at the official Copyright website.

--The current fee is $45 per application. You may register a collection of photos on one application under one title.

--Registration takes effect the day all the required elements in acceptable form are received; however, it takes approximately 4 months to receive your certificate. I suggest sending your application requiring confirmation of delivery since you will not receive acknowledgment from the Copyright Office.

--You will be notified by the Copyright Office via a letter or a telephone call if further information is needed to complete your application.

--If your application is rejected, you will receive a letter explaining why.

--Works created on or after January 1, 1978, are not required to be renewed.

--Online registration is expected in the future.

--Unfortunately a copyright is not protected throughout the world. Not all, but most countries do honor each other's citizens' copyrights.

I hope you find this information helpful but be sure to visit the official Copyright website at www.copyright.gov before deciding whether or not you should register your photographs.

Walt Disney World Dining - The Basics

By Alison Meacham

The parks and resorts are full of fabulous restaurants and dining experiences. It can certainly make your Walt Disney World vacation extra special by dining at these great restaurants in the parks and at the resort hotels.

For those of us increasingly concerned about healthy eating choices Walt Disney World is taking some steps to provide more healthy options. By the end of 2007 (and 2008 for licensed foods) Disney World will have removed all added trans-fats from foods served in park and resort restaurants. Disney branded products sold in the park will meet this requirement by the end of 2008.

It is important to understand the Disney Advanced Dining Reservation system. The system is unique. Disney restaurants are popular, particularly at busy times, and you need to make reservations in advance to ensure a table at the restaurant of your choice. An Advance Dining Reservation is not exactly a reservation - Disney doesn't have those. Instead an Advance Dining Reservation is a promise that you will be given priority ahead of the walk-ins. In reality what this means is that unless you have an Advance Dining Reservation you may not be able to get a table. Built into the system though is that Disney knows that there will always be no shows.
Obviously Disney wants to fill the restaurant so the agents will seat walk ins if at all possible.
You may have a very long wait ahead of you, but it is always worth checking out.

For most sit down restaurants you can make Disney Advance Dining Reservations up to 180 days in advance by calling 407 WDW DINE. I highly recommend doing this if you are going to eat at the parks, particularly in the evenings and at busy times. I have found that as more and more people realize this facility is available, the more essential it becomes.

Some restaurants, such as Cinderella's Royal Table, will require a credit card guarantee. Be sure to make a note of this when you have made your reservation. If you forget you could be reminded when you see a penalty on your credit card statement. If you are traveling during a major Holiday or busy time plan your reservations as far ahead as possible. You also need to do this if you have a large party.

The reservation line can be very busy, and at times I have found it impossible to get through to even talk to an agent. Set aside some time to be able to do this and have some second and third options available. The Disney Cast Member will assist you to make alternative choices.

You can also make Advance Dining Reservations in person at the restaurant or at Guest Services in the park. If you have not made any reservations when you arrive at the park it is a good idea to go to Guest Services to see what they have available.

There are some unique and excellent dining experiences to be be enjoyed at Walt Disney World. Just make your Advance Dining Reservations and you will be ahead of the crowd.

Leveraging your Website - Back to the Basics

By Tyler Hawkins

Failing to leverage Internet technology, many companies are being rapidly left behind. Slowly but surely, businesses large and small have been coming to this realization. Without question, the cornerstone of an effective Internet presence is a polished and professional Website.

However, many companies fail to realize that building a dazzling, user-friendly Website is only the first step in establishing and maintaining an optimal Web presence. The bottom line: A Website that no one visits has entirely no value.

In order to best utilize your Website it is imperative to maximize quality traffic to it. Your firm may choose to go about this in any number of ways, some incredibly powerful, others not so much. Many companies choose to overemphasize online strategies, such as pay-per-click ads, to the neglect of tried-and-true, traditional "offline" methods. As part of an overall marketing strategy, it is important to maintain a firm-specific mix that is based upon sound market research.

Online strategies
One of the best ways to drive traffic to your site is to have it rank highly on respected search engines such as Google. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is important. However, not everyone can be in Google’s top ten. So, where does that leave you? One possible solution is to buy high ranking paid search results through pay per click (PPC) advertising.

PPC, in which you pay a set amount each time a user clicks on your ad, can be an effective component of your marketing strategy. Unfortunately, PPC ads are inherently limited by the fact that most people are leery of clicking on what they know are paid advertisements. Aware of the fact that these ads may lead them to a Website without relevant content (as opposed to organic search results) potential clients are reluctant to click on them.

Online directories and link sharing sites are two other avenues that, though valuable as a component of an overall strategy, often tend to be over-emphasized when it comes to maximizing Website traffic.

These valuable online marketing and advertising strategies should be supplemented with the effective use of traditional strategies in order to maximize quality Website traffic. This is especially the case with small businesses and those seeking to reach a local target market.

Traditional strategies
Even today, in the midst of the “digital revolution,” companies choosing to disregard traditional marketing and advertising strategies do so at their own peril. Well conceived and implemented strategies to achieve maximum Website traffic should always include “offline” traditional components.

Successful businesses utilize proven methods such as radio spots, print advertising, targeted mailers, and even innovative mobile advertising. A disciplined public relations campaign, capable of generating publicity through third-party validation can also be invaluable in generating a buzz and driving traffic to your Website. These avenues provide the ability to reach large chunks of a target market that may otherwise go untapped by an over-reliance on Internet marketing strategies. They should not be overlooked.

Take action
Has your business put all of its stock into Internet marketing? Are you missing out on reaching a sizable chunk of your target market by failing to utilize tried-and-true methods? An honest appraisal is in order. Re-visit your marketing strategy to ensure that you are delivering the maximum amount of quality traffic to your Website. If you need help, seek out a firm that specializes in providing integrated Website development and marketing solutions.

The Basics of RSS Feeds

By Halstatt Pires

With the new technology available in the worlds of electronic communication and the Internet, it can be hard to keep up with all the latest gadgets. In this article, we cover the basics of RSS feeds.

RSS is an acronym, and it stands for “Really Simple Syndication”. It is one of several ways that web authors and publishers can use to make sure that their updated information gets to their readers in a quick and efficient way. Most often, RSS feeds are used to update readers of blogs or news sites on new information that has been posted, or in the case of podcasts, new audio that has been uploaded.

Now that we have been able to answer the question, what is an RSS feed, let's take a look at how it works. RSS is maintained by using a code known as XML, which stands for extensible markup language. This generic data format is a good way to be able to send out your RSS feed without having to use a lot of graphics or other large file formats. A reader program, downloaded by the reader or subscriber to your blog or other website, is able to take the XML information and put it into a usable context so it can be read and enjoyed.

There are a few types of RSS feeds out there, most commonly RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0. While most people who use RSS today are updated to RSS 2.0 (the most user friendly and advanced version of the Really Simple Syndication feed), there are still a few older sites that use the 1.0 technology. Most of the RSS feed readers available today are able to read either format, but it is important to check before downloading or using a reader.

RSS feeds are easily used by the programmer, because many of the most popular website hosting and building sites allow quick implementation of this code. Other sites, such as Blogger (the most popular free blogging site and network) as well as the major blogging software companies, allow RSS feeds to be built from within their programs without needing the use of coding or other technical know-how. This means that all bloggers can use this technology to their advantage without having to learn a whole new set of codes.

What is an RSS feed? It's a great way to make sure your followers, readers or devotees can keep up to date with your web site and the information contained on it. It is also easy to use on both the publisher and consumer ends, making it a perfect solution for information dissemination.
