Several internet business provide the code for a fee. A person just copies and pastes it to their website and they have music. Some of these business also update the code on a regular basis so a person can change songs easily. So, a person can choose to type in the code or pay to copy the code. It is totally dependent on an individual’s time and budget.

But, there are a few things that need to be thought through before one decides to put music on their website that can impact how well a business does. First, copyright laws apply to everyone. A person needs to check and make sure that the music they play on their website is not breaking any copyright regulations when it is played. Most music is copyrighted and a person is not allowed to play it on their website without purchasing a license.

There are many visitors to a site who will not wait for music to load. If a file is over 45 KB it is likely that individuals with slower systems will exit the website before the music starts and the person with that website has lost a potential customer.

The next consideration is that not everyone likes the same music that the owner of the website likes. Unless the website is in a niche market where everyone is listening to the same group, sing the same song, there are going to be customers who leave the site without browsing or buying because they hate the music.

Lastly, is that when a website is interesting, word often gets around. Many people who surf the net at work, do so during their breaks and lunch. This is against the rules, but they do it anyway because no one will know. That is, until they get to the website they’ve been hearing about and music starts coming out of the speaker. Besides being embarrassing and really bad for the employee, the website has lost a customer.

Sue received the highest votes in our =>

“Who’s got the best looking website”

Competition. The competition where you tell us which website you think looks the best.

Sue, your ipod nano is on it way

Sue mentioned an interesting observation – She experienced a great  increase of visitors to her website as a result of being in the  competition.

This gave us a great idea…

We were really blown away by the great websites that were submitted so, and we really feel they deserve to show of there sites to as many people as possible – after all they deserve it! So, we’ve decided to start a new “website on the month” showcase.

We’re still putting together the all details at the moment and I’ll be letting you know how it’s going to work real soon.

Till then take a minute to check out the many other great sites at:

You open you browser, go to google and type in “Web hosting provider” – and then sit there dumb founded looking at the 18,400,000 sites that turn up in google.

How can you possible choose the right website? They all tell you the same things -

• “We’re the best”
• “Get unlimited space with us”
• “Get unlimited bandwidth”
• “99.9% uptime” and the list goes on.

So how do you choose a hosting provider? you could start going through the list one by one, trying them out and seeing how they really stack up – but that could take you months – not to mention the hassle of changing moving your website and setting up new hosting accounts every time you find a “bum” provider.

So where does that leave you?

Well over the years we’ve tried a lot of different web hosting companies and we’ve spoken with lots of people using different ones. We’ve found one company that we’re comfortable recommending – and we’ve arranged 3 months free hosting for with them.

They’re a well established hosting providers with great rates and an unbeatable package.

I’ve created some simple step by step instructions for you here to help you get up and running.

It turns out that although she was inserting his images into the page, and then uploading the page to her website, she wasn’t uploading the images, so of course when it came time to view the complete page online the images where missing.

Here’s a short video tutorial showing just how to insert and upload your images to make sure they’re visible once you’re web page goes live:

As you can see it’s pretty simple, just make sure you remember to upload your images as well as your web page.

Well Ive got some great news for you. BUT before I tell you the great news let me just explain something…

We have customers asking us almost everyday:

“Where can I order a copy of dreamweaver”

and until now, we’ve always sent them along to amazon.com.

The problem is they almost always come back to us and tell us they simply can’t afford the huge price tag, so we went out and searched the web to find the lowest price possible on the new Dreamweaver CS4…

…and the great news is – We Found it!

A couple of days ago I found this comment on one of my Free dreamweaver tutorials on you tube:

“Don’t buy anything from this guys website, his ripping you off…”

and the writer goes on to say:

“You can get these tutorials for free on youtube…”

It seems his point is that because there are some free Dreamweaver tutorials available on Youtube I must be ripping people off because we’re selling ours.

This got me thinking – “I wonder how our customer feel?”

Did you feel “ripped off” after buying DreamweaverMadeSimple or did you feel as though you got value for money?

Would you rather have spent weeks searching the internet piecing together bits and pieces of the dreamweaver puzzle or did you benefit from having a step by step dreamweaver tutorial taking you through the whole process from start to finish?

I’d really like to hear your view…

Are people being ripped of when they order DreamweaverMadeSimple?
