Writing for the Internet and writing in the conventional way differ only slightly. Conventional writing is much more descriptive than writing for the web. As with all writing, you must know your audience and write about what they want to hear. You will write keeping two things in mind: Know what your audience wants and what you want them to do when they have finished reading your article. Church web design allows for editorials, events, special dates and any other pertinent information that you deem useful to the reader. You may want to have several writers to help in your church web design so you have versatility in your writings. Each writer will have their own style but must keep in mind the two necessities of what the audience wants and what you want them to do after reading the articles. They must also take into consideration how much the audience knows about the subject they are writing about. Outline the content before committing it to the church web design. This gives you and your writers an idea of how the page will be laid out and more of an accurate idea of the space required to write the article. Outlining also ensures proper organization so your article does not sound scattered. Write in a style that is precise, concise and easy to read. If your writers begin writing articles as though everyone who reads them are scholars, your church website design is going to go down the tubes very quickly. Articles must be written in a style that is easy for everyone to understand and everyone to comprehend. Therefore using long scholarly wording in an article could prove to end your church website design before it even gets started good. Use short words, bulleted lists along with descriptive subhead titles. Use good grammar and good spelling skills. Church website design is meant to appeal to the public as well as your congregation. You would not get on the podium and start a sermon with, “Hey you all, it’s time to get this show on the road and get to prayin.” That would be inappropriate for the entire congregation. Therefore proper language and good spelling skills are necessary when writing articles for your church website design. Do not use repetition in any article. Your church web design will not have repeats as far as dates and events, so why repeat yourself in your articles? Use precise style and get to the point. Do not allow your article to ramble on about unimportant details. “Mrs. Robins will be serving her special apple pie in her navy blue dress”, is not an important detail to an article about an important event. Although Mrs. Robins may very well do just that, your readers, especially ones who do not know the congregation, do not need to know that menial detail. Only detail the important aspects of an event such as; time, location, special needs and so forth. Develop a keyword list for each article. Make sure the article is keyword rich and the title of the article is also keyword rich. This makes it easier for your article to appear when an unknown user does a search for certain criteria. In addition o a keyword list you will want to write your articles with scanning in mind. Most people do not want to waste time reading a long drawn out article on a church web design page they merely wish to scan over it to see what may be happening. So keep it brief and simple.

Why blog at all and why use WordPress? I hear these questions every day. This article will help to take the mystery out of blogging and WordPress. 1. Why blog in the first place? If you want instant publicity, blog. Blogging is more personal than a static website and you naturally speak in keyword rich terms. This makes you more findable on the web. 2. Establish relationships Easily establish relationships with your blog. If you turn on comments and let people leave comments, you are establishing an ongoing relationship. This is quite difficult to do with static websites. 3. Search Engine Friendly Blogs are search engine friendly. In addition to writing in a more informal but keyword rich style, each post and each comment is a seperate page. It’s also fresh content. These are two things that search engines love. 4. Get Feedback You can quickly get feedback on your ideas. Put up a survey or simply ask people to leave comments. Tell people you’d love to hear from them. Don’t people generally like to express their opinion? 5. Why WordPress WordPress is so versatile. If you have your own domain, you can host it yourself to take advantage of everything it has to offer. If you don’t have your own domain, you can get a free WordPress blog at WordPress.org. Your blog will look more professional if you host it on your domain and if your webhost has Fantastico, it’s a snap to install. If your host doesn’t have Fantastico, the process is a bit more involved but not at all complicated. Now you know some reasons to blog and some reasons to use WordPress. It is one of the most versatile blogging platforms available today. Cathy Perkins is an author, blogger, and WordPress expert who lives in the beautiful foothills of North Carolina.

Article marketing is arguably the most powerful tool in a webmasters arsenal but when used incorrectly it can be detrimental rather than beneficial. Article marketing holds the ability to share information with readers whilst showing your knowledge of the niche. As a website owner this is a great way for you to gain the trust of a reader before they’ve even visited your site. However, although the benefits of article marketing are numerous, there are also downsides if not done correctly. One of these is damaging an author’s reputation which is most likely to occur with junk articles that are merely submitted to directories to benefit from link value. Article directories do provide direct traffic so it clear that the quality of an article is highly important. Aiming to only benefit from article directory links is a big mistake that can damage the reputation of a website and its’ owner. The website will have links from 100s of unique domains

I recently had the pleasure of watching Marc Forster’s film, Stranger Than Fiction, which I found to be a delightfully charming, intelligent comedy written by first-time screenwriter Zach Helm. I give it two guitars up. Way up. (Platonically speaking of course). It’s about an uptight IRS agent, Harold Crick (Will Ferrell), who realizes that his mundane life is being narrated by the voice of a chain-smoking novelist played by Emma Thompson. The novelist is suffering from a bad case of writer’s block and is on the verge of a nervous breakdown because she can’t decide the ending to her story. Going mad with the constant narration in his head that accurately predicts his every move, Crick solicits the help of a literature professor (Dustin Hoffman) to help find his voice. To his utter shock and dismay, Crick learns that the voice of his narrator belongs to this eccentric author that writes tragedies in which her heroes are killed off. But Crick does not want to die! For the first time in his life he is discovering who he really is and what his true passions are. He sets out to meet the author with the determination to alter his fate. And upon meeting, the two worlds collide. The author is petrified to see that her main character has come to life and that he is very real indeed. I can certainly relate to this movie as a writer working on my first inspirational novel. The movie raises some intriguing questions: What does it mean to be real? To find one’s voice? To express one’s voice? Who is narrating our story? Can fate be altered? Where do the boundaries of fiction and non-fiction collide? I certainly don’t pretend to know the answers. I can only share my perspective as a writer. One of the challenges writers face is to know their characters inside and out and to have a complete understanding of the world they have created so that everything magically comes to life. As the story-writing guru, Robert McKee, likes to say, “Not a sparrow should fall in the world of a writer that he wouldn’t know.” I believe in a sense that we are all writers. We are writers of our own play. In The Hero Soul (.HeroSoul.com), I close the last chapter of my book with a quote from Shakespeare: “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages.” The world is a stage upon which we perform. Each age consisting of the acts and scenes of the play. But it’s our play. We choose how we act in each scene moment by moment. What type of play do you want to write? What type of a life do you want to live? Realizing that he is going to be killed off, Harold Crick asks the literary professor for advice. The professor gives him a deceptively simple answer, “Go live your life! Do what you love to do!” At first, Crick is offended by the professor’s triteness; but he realizes later that he has no control over his mortality and decides to do just that: live his life. He’s always wanted to play the guitar but never really had the time. For the first time in his life he walks into a guitar shop and sees this wicked turquoise guitar starring back at him. He picks up the guitar and begins strumming. In that moment his life is transformed from a tragedy into a divine comedy. What have we been denying ourselves? What type of play do we want to have a starring role in? Sometimes we act in an “If Only” play with a bit part in shoulding all over ourselves until we are mired deep in our own pile of dung. I should write a novel. I should exercise. I should be a painter. I should start my own business. I should go on a dream vacation. If only I was younger. If only I was older. If only I had the money. If only I had the time. In the professional world of writing there is a clause known as the “kill fee.” The kill fee is a fee paid by the editor to the writer for an assigned piece of writing that is killed off and never published. It’s usually a percentage of the total amount that was originally agreed upon between the editor and writer. Although there can be many reasons for rejecting a piece, the kill fee is often executed because the writing simply isn’t up to par. When we’re not being our best selves, when we’re not expressing our unique voice, when we’re not being true to ourselves and not doing what we love to do, something inside of us dies. Life then pays us a kill fee: something less than what we truly deserve. Are we living a life that’s worthy of being published, or will we live a life of mediocrity and accept the kill fee that’s assigned to us?

Writing articles is nothing more than common sense coupled with a spell-checker program and a little imagination. Plus, the 3 Rules I am about to share with you. First, though, let me tell you about how a high school dropout learned how to write by copying former CBS News Anchor, Walter Cronkite and by using his local newspaper. All he did was apply the “3 Rules for Writing Articles”. I know you want to know the rules right now, right? First, these are not my rules. These are rules known by all good writers. I didn’t invent them. They were taught to me and I simply use them every day. Here they are: Rule #1 - “Tell them what you are going to tell them”. This, of course, is your headline like my headline - “3 Rules for Writing Articles”. Rule #2 - “Tell them”. I am already doing that, right? I started with the first sentence at the beginning of this article and I am telling you right now! Rule #3 - “Tell them what you told them”. This is the summary, a sentence or sentences that bring the whole point of the article into focus to give you something to remember. That comes at the end. What about the high school dropout? He simply took a cheap tape recorder, recorded Mr. Cronkite’s newscast every evening, played it back and typed exactly what Mr. Cronkite said. He studied it to see how the three rules applied. He did this over and over and over until he could write his own version of the story. When he felt confident he showed his work to his wife and best friends for critique. He even recorded himself saying the stories into that little recorder, over and over and over. His dream was to be a radio newsman. Our high school dropout also took the daily newspaper and re-wrote lots and lots of stories, reorganizing the facts, creating his own catchy headlines. Most important? He applied the “3 Rules for Writing Articles” to every article. When he had articles he had some confidence in, he showed them to his wife and best friends for critique. He followed the 3 Rules for several months, working on his writing after getting home from his regular factory job in the evenings. He did this for hours and hours and hours. Practice, practice, practice! So, where did all this hard work get him? You will be amazed. Our high school dropout landed a part time job on Sunday mornings as a on-air newsman at a local radio station! His writing and a passable radio voice got him that job. His fellow factory workers laughed at him. Made jokes. “You? C’mon, get real!”. But, did he quit there? No! He kept working on his writing and voice delivery. Hours and hours and hours! Within 3 months he was full time on the graveyard shift. He quit the factory job. About 3 months later he was on days, Monday through Friday, in prime afternoon drive-time! Within 2 years he was a local TV News Anchorman! Two years later he was Anchorman and News Director! Now, I must point out another key factor in his success. Many professional broadcasters and writers helped him grow along the way. He was never afraid to ask for help on how to improve his writing and delivery on-air. Pride never got in his way. The pro’s were more than willing to offer advice and valuable tips! It was better than a college education. Now, you may be thinking, “Jim made this guy up. This story can’t be true”. Well, friend, that high school dropout is me! My broadcast news career spanned more than 15 years. I won several national and local news awards. On my main blog (see Author Box), you can see a photo of me posing with Walter Cronkite in a promotional session for my news program. I also have promotional photos with Dan Rather and Diane Sawyer and photos with many other famous people. I have interviewed every type of news maker from Presidents to killers and rubbed elbows with the rich and famous. Am I bragging? Maybe. But, the point is, the “3 Rules for Writing Articles” plus determination and practice helped me to become a successful writer and news reporter. They can help you, too! I have given you the starting point. It’s up to you. By the way, you can find other writing guides on my main blog that will help you become an accomplished writer as well. And, in case you have not guessed, that last paragraph is the “Tell them what you told them” rule! Yours for success!

Is your book’s back cover turning away sales? It may be, if you make the #1 mistake even supposedly savvy publishers make. Remember, people will pick up a book because the title, or perhaps the design, catches their interest. But what happens next? They look at the back cover. And if the copy doesn’t grab them, they put the book down. If it does grab them, they will either buy the book or look inside for more information. So how do you grab the reader by the eyeballs? You capture their attention with a powerful headline. Something that will stress your book’s major benefit. Yet, not having a headline on the back cover is the #1 mistake authors make. Whether you’re self-publishing or publishing with a traditional author, make sure your back cover copy has a powerful headline. To get a feel for powerful headlines and back cover copy, study some best-selling books and make note of the common elements. (Do it online at amazon.com or visit a bookstore and look at the best sellers.) You can also study your “junk mail” for examples of winning headlines. Most of these mailings come to you because they’re proven winners. Study the headlines and see what they’re doing. You want to make sure you put the major benefit of your book in the headline. Note: the benefit is what it will do for the reader

by Philip Yaffe Some people have experiences early in life that seem to have nothing to do with their intended careers but later turn out to be crucial. I am one of those lucky people. I graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1965 with a degree in mathematics and no intention of becoming a professional expository (non-fiction) writer. Immediately following graduating, I spent two years as a math and physics teacher in Tanzania, East Africa. After being stationed several months in a mud-hut village, I was posted to a rather more developed location with electricity, running water and other modern conveniences. A colleague of mine still in the bush had an excellent idea. Since most people in rural villages hardly ever left their villages, he thought it a good idea to take his brightest students on a tour of the country to get a feeling of what this new, developing nation was all about. The first stop was my place. I asked the boy (he was 14 years old) what he really wanted to do while he was in my house. “I want to take a hot running shower,” he replied. This, of course, was not just a luxury in his home village; it was not even a possibility. A shower there meant filling a jerry can with water, heating it on an open fire, then pouring it over your head. We had some friends near by we wanted to visit. I took the boy into the bathroom and meticulously showed him how to regulate the butane tank (no central heating in my house), how to adjust the temperature and water flow, how to position the shower head, etc. “Now, when you are finished, I want you turn everything off and go to go to bed,” I said. We then set off down the road. About a half hour later, I thought it a good idea come back and check up on him. I went into the bathroom and I was pleased to see that he had correctly turned off both the water and the butane exactly as I had shown him. The light was still on in his room, so I went over to say goodnight. When I opened the door, I saw this poor kid lying on the bed with his hands over his eyes trying to sleep. Then it hit me. I had shown everything to him except the most obvious - how to turn off the light! He of course knew about electric lights, theoretically, but he had never actually seen one. His experience was with kerosene lanterns, which you turn off by blowing out the flame. If you have never actually used an electric light, there is no obvious connection between that button on the wall and that brilliant bulb on the ceiling. The poor kid simply didn’t have a clue. More importantly, I simply didn’t have a clue either. As meticulous as I thought I had been, it just never occurred to me that I had failed to give him adequate instructions. I had a number of such experiences in Tanzania, none of which had anything to do with lack of intelligence. Because of fierce competition to get into school in the first place (the country hardly had any schools), these students were not just intelligent, they were the cream of the crop. Why Simplification Isn’t “Dumbing-down” Someone once said: “Nothing is so simple that it can’t be misunderstood.” I have always tried to live by this maxim, with my experiences in Tanzania as a constant reminder to simplify to the extreme. But the objection can be raised: “Isn’t aiming at the lowest common denominator patronizing?” Yes it is, but mainly in the mind of the writer, not the reader. The fact is, no matter how hard you try, you can never know for certain what each individual reader knows and doesn’t know about your topic. What you can know for certain is that if you say something they don’t understand, you will lose some (if not all) of their attention. It is of course necessary to make some assumptions about your readers’ level of understanding. However, you should make as few as possible. Those readers who are already knowledgeable about what a particular section of text is saying will either skip it or appreciate the reminder. Those who are less knowledgeable will be grateful for your clear explanation. Throughout my 40-year career as a professional writer, I have produced press releases, sales brochures, speeches, instruction manuals, training programs, etc. I can recall no occasion where someone complained that my text was “too simple”. However, I distinctly recall several occasions where someone said, “I thought this subject would be extremely difficult, but I understood everything you wrote. How did you do it?” Now you know; it was by aiming for the lowest common denominator - and then some.

Custom essay writing company ProfEssays has lately encountered with a number of malicious and mendacious rumours spread through the Internet and aimed at discrediting its good reputation and undermining the confidence of customers. These rumours are ensued from comments posted on a number of forums dealing with the issues of anti-plagiarism and fraud. One of senior ProfEssays managers Dave Norman agreed to shed some light on the origins of this disinformation and those who are behind it. First of all, Mr. Norman said that the nature of custom writing service ProfEssays has nothing to do with plagiarism. He said “Why do they try to bring up plagiarism? If a student has his paper written by a professional highly skilled and pay for the service it isn’t plagiarism. It’s evident that such a transaction will be called purchase”. “Were there any other accusations posted on these sites?” ‘Yes, there were”, answered Mr.Norman, “Of course, we should take into account the fact that the bulk of these comments containing false information about ProfEssays have been posted by our competitors. However, there are comments made by people who believed our rivals and were mislead by their malicious fraud. It is the case with one of reputable forums. As far as I remember the discussion about the legitimacy of ProfEssays was focused mostly on the quality of ProfEssays services and possibility to get high marks using custom writing. The most of the participants adhered to an opinion that the services provided by the company and by other companies of this kind in general are bound to be of poor quality that they cheat students claiming that it is impossible to get decent marks submitting custom essays. Such unanimity stems either from abysmal ignorance in the subject or what seems more likely from a selective approach to comments adopted by the owners of the site as we were denied a chance to post their our opinion. I wonder what the reasons for refusing to post ProfEssays opinion are. Perhaps, they, lawyers by professions, don’t care for freedom of speech and give preference to censorship, are keen to arrange tendentious and partial coverage of all the topics whenever they initiate discussions and in this way violates laws and disregard good manners.” Dave Norman also mentioned that there are sites created by other custom writing companies to slander rivals. Therefore ProfEssays is forced to initiate its own investigation of this disinformation campaigns and plans to familiarize customers with the results of its inquiry.

Uganda referred to as the “pearl of Africa” and Rwanda “land of a thousand Hills” because of its beauty, mountain gorillas and the natural endowment, both lie on a wealth of attractions which have turned them into countries for visitors. You will discover the mysteries of the exotic countries, with adventure and tragedy. With vast hills, plains, snow capped mountains, National parks, exquisite beauty, wildlife, falls, vibrant cultures, landscapes, traditions and people; few areas of the African continent captivate the imagination as does Rwanda and Uganda. The Kingdom of Gorillas Home to the Giant gentle Apes, Rwanda, Uganda and Congo share the world’s last remaining Gentle Giants; the mountain Gorillas. About 350 enormous sized mountain gorillas live in one of the largest tropical forests in Central Africa. The Virunga Conservation Area “Virunga volcanoes” is comprised of three National parks namely- Parc National des Volcans (PNV) North of Rwanda 46 square miles and covers six volcanoes, Mgahinga National Park situated on the extreme southwest corner of Uganda on the slopes of the Virunga Mountains covering only 28 square miles and Parc des Virungas “Djomba/Rumangabo (Bukima)”, in the DRC neighbouring Uganda and Rwanda. About 350 mountain Gorillas are found in the Bwindi Impenetrable National park, though not part of the Virungas. The Gentle Giants migrate across international borders, moving between Congo DR, Rwanda and Uganda. In 2005, a group of habituated gorillas from Mgahinga National Park in Uganda migrated across the border into the Parc de Volcanoes in Rwanda leading to suspension of tracking in the Mgahinga Park. However, 7 of the eleven animals that had left returned in July 2007 from their long ‘exile’ across the border in Rwanda’s Parc de Volcanoes. 4 female Gorillas that stayed on the other side are reported to have gotten married to the male gorillas of Parc National des Volcans in Rwanda. According to Africa Discovery; United Nations, Gorilla tourism contributes over 70% of revenues and offers an equally fascinating experience. Sitting in the dense rainforest among the gorillas, interacting with them, listening to them grumble to each other, and marvel at the sheer size of the dominant male; the Silverback, it is an amazing experience that only the trekkers can experience. The Misty Future of the Gentle Giants; The mountain gorilla, with over half a million of the gentle giants lost to slaughter, disease, Hunting, poaching, war and logging; is still the most endangered species. By 1989, Gorilla tourism was Rwanda’s third greatest source of foreign currency earning $9 million, after coffee and tea exports. However, the Gorillas were shot, grilled and eaten by militiamen and rebels who lacked food during the genocide. On 9 May, 2002, 2 gorillas of the Suza group, Muraha and Impanga, were killed as a result of poaching, Ubuzima, was found with her infant still beside her and a baby gorilla was kidnapped for sale. On 26 July 2007, 3 female gorilla of the Rugendo group were found dead in the Mikeno Sector of the Virunga National Park and on the 24th, the silverback male of the group was also found dead. On 7 June 2005, an entire gorilla family including a dominant silverback male, two females and a baby was wiped out at Pinga; Walikale Territory in Kivu - Congo for food as eating primates is practiced by some tribes like the Pygmies (Bayaka) in DRC, making hunting a great threat to Gorillas. The recent killings of Gorillas in the war torn DRC makes these species more endangered in the region. In the period of 1983- 2000, Ebola hemorrhagic fever caused a 56% decline in the gorilla population. Thousands of the great apes succumbed to the deadly fatal disease in Congo, including gorillas in the Lossi Sanctuary. Logging companies in the DRC also destroy 200-300 km² of rain forest each year, destroying the gorilla habitats and contributing significantly to the increased hunting pressure in the area. The gorillas are more endangered than ever in their history and research indicates that many species will be extinct by 2025. The upsurge of armed conflict in Eastern DR Congo is very intense around the Gorilla Sector of Virunga National Park. Mr Tony Ofungi the senior information officer at Tourism Uganda said; “Continuous threats to the Mountain Gorillas have never been greater. This is an illustration of human and environmental tragedy.” The destruction of Gorilla habitats, Gorilla trafficking and armed conflict threatens this badly battered population. “We are very concerned for the welfare of our Mountain Gorillas. We need to be allowed to do our job and protect these animals.” Norbert Mushenzi said The Director of the Southern Sector of Virunga National Park for the Congolese Institute for the Conservation of Nature (ICCN). However, the mystery remains on what can be done to save, protect and conserve the few worlds’ remaining mountain Gorilla species. Conserving for Generations: Thanks to the close collaboration of the conservation authorities in the three countries, emphasis is being put on sustainable use of resources, as well as conserving biodiversity and human diversity. Umbrella organizations have been set up to promote conservation in different countries. UGADEC Union of Associations for the Conservation of Gorillas and Community Development of the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo(Union des Associations de Conservation des Gorilles pour le Développement Communautaire à l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo), Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International in Rwanda and Uganda Wildlife Authority in Uganda have an aim of conserving fauna and flora and consolidate conservation activities which include management of protected areas, education, communication, research and information through sustainable development. Effective laws have been enforced to protect the park. International conventions and protocols have been signed by Uganda like the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD), the Convention for International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and many others that have been ratified. These protect the parks from encroachment and also enable sensitization and community relationships. Visiting Gorillas is allowed for only one hour with a maximum of six tourists visiting each habituated gorilla group a day. In March 2006, Virunga National Park evicted a group of Basongora herdsmen who had settled in the national park from Uganda, and government is working on resettling them, and in June 2002: 2 people were arrested for poaching and killing 2 gorillas and the disappearance of a baby gorilla. Communities are being sensitized about Gorilla conservation and young people have been well-trained as guides to carefully supervise groups of tourists to view the Gorillas and to prepare them for becoming agents in conserving and protecting natural resources. Compensation has been provided to communities around the park, who have given up their right to cut timber and harvest game from the protected forest through community benefits like schools, markets and proceeds. And in order to combat trafficking and trade, a new project has been set up in Congo, which will develop an intelligence network aimed at disrupting and deterring both the traffickers and the poachers, as well as educating and sensitizing the local communities. Future of Tourism: Tracking the mountain gorillas is one of Africa’s indisputable highlights and contributes largely to the countries’ foreign earnings. There has been a gorilla population growth with an increase in Uganda, and a 17% increase in Rwanda, attributed to awareness programmes for the people surrounding the park. Local communities have been involved in development and as a result, 39 poachers in Uganda surrendered and handed over their hunting equipment to authorities. Uganda and Rwanda are untapped countries with resources which need to be protected, and the mighty Giants, the largest of the living primates are nothing short of perfection and are marked by an exceptional degree of tranquility, uniting the 3 countries under the vast greenery of the “Mighty Virungas”.
