Feminine Web Page Templates

Wow! Another coding day is just about over for me. We have really hit a big dent in this huge task, but we can see light at the end of the tunnel.

One thing we keep forgetting to mention in our blog posts is that our customers and members now have the option to purchase individual PSD Templates that correspond to our HTML-CSS Templates. That is one of the reasons this restructuring process is taking place and it is a project well over due.

So why are we charging extra for our PSD Template Files? Because we firmly believe in NOT forcing our customers to buy our designs at an inflated price for something they don't need or want. Many folks do not use or need the PSD File. Our HTML-CSS Templates are priced at a mere $10.00 USD each. If you want to license the use of the PSD Template, non-members can do so for $5.00 USD each and members for 30% off. So ... there you go! Just another advantage in using our designs. You are not forced into buying something you don't need and you save money too. :-)

The swap-out graphics cross referencing process and restructure of our Feminine Web Templates category has been completed.

We'd appreciate reporting any errors you might find to: tech at basictemplates dot com

That's it for me tonight. I'm on my way out the door to make supper for my family. I'll be back tomorrow though and will continue to help BasicRic hit this project even harder. Good night everyone and thanks again for all the positive feedback that keeps rolling in. We really appreciate your suggestions, comments and kudos.

But wait ... That's not all! We are adding more graphics packages for individual purchase by non-members and reducing the price of some our swap-out graphics packages.

Of course, the best value is to subscribe to our web template membership service with the optional addon graphics service. The more products and services you buy from us, the LESS YOU PAY! That's the way it should be, don't you think?

An Embarrassment to the U.S. Bar association

To what extent will a defense attorney go?

Find out here ... Blog entry dated Nov. 10, 2004 at 9:12 a.m.:
http://www.courttv.com/trials/peterson/juryblog.html

Not only does this shine a Hollywood circus light on the U.S. Bar Association and the U.S. Justice System it is coldly calculated and disrespectful to the victims and their families.

When our international friends see such a childish prank carried out by an American lawyer who *was* supposedly highly respected, what must they think? I hope they realize that defense attorney for Scott Peterson, Mark Geragos, does not represent a professional lawyer in this country and he is an embarrassment to the U.S. Bar Association.

Publishing Streaming Video to Your Website and Emails

If you have ever wondered how to add streaming video to your website, I have the answer for you. First let me tell you, it is easy to do and an inexpensive marketing option.

Publishing streaming audio to your website (and within your emails) is also a very effective marketing technique used by only a small number of websites - right now. As soon as this new marketing technique catches on though, it won't have the same effect. With any new and successful marketing strategy, those who reap the best rewards are those who inititally use the technique.

So your best option is to act fast and begin publishing your streaming video BEFORE your competitiors do - and trust me --- they will! > Click here to find how.

If steaming video is not for you or you would like to have Audio Presentations on your website like we do, I've got great news! Our administrative staff here at BasicTemplates.com has given me full permission to share with you the techniques we used to published these popular Audio Presentations on our website. > Check it out!

// posted by BasicMike on 11/05/2004 06:31:53 PM / Permanent Link  

 

How to Create Audio Presentations for Your Web Site

Finally, after more than a year, I have been able to talk our administrative staff into allow me to share with you, our loyal visitors and customers, the techniques we used to produce and publish the popular Audio Presentations as seen on our website.

You may be surprised to discover that is easy to do, inexpensive and a very effective marketing tool. Trust me.

Here's the tools you will need prior to beginning this project:

1) a computer (of course)
2) a microphone attached to your computer's sound card (Get one at your local Walmart or Radio Shack if your computer did not come with one. They are very inexpensive - less than $5.00.) -OR- a telephone with the ability to dial a toll free number
3) internet access
4) a well-written script of what you want to say (Write your script as if you were speaking directly to your website visitor. Simply imagine them walking into your physical place of business and begin speaking to them. Get to the point quickly and always be completely honest.)

When you have all that ready, Click Here.

If you are more of a visual oriented person, let me share with you how easy it is to add Streaming Video to your website and Emails. I'm not pulling your leg here. Publishing streaming videos to your website (and within your emails) is fairly new to most webmasters and is currently being used by only a small number of websites - right now. As soon as this new marketing technique catches on though, it won't have the same effect.

So your best option is to act fast and begin publishing your streaming video BEFORE your competitiors do - and trust me --- they will! > Click here to find how.

Making Money on the Internet

Since I work online, make my living solely through the Internet and most of my friends would say that I'm successful at running my online businesses, I'm often asked by them and many of their friends how they can make money online too. Good question.

Here's a version of the most common question I am asked:

"How can I make money online without investing any money and without having to work too hard at it. I just want an online business that will run itself and be profitable. Maybe I could even quit my day job eventually."

Hmmm ... {big grin} ... Here's my most common answer:

"Well, if there was such a lucrative business, everyone would be doing it and every business owner online would be a multi-millionaire. If you want to make money online it is most certainly possible, but money won't fall into your lap[top] without any effort (time) or financial investment on your part."

I'm not sure what my friends think I do all day long (some days I work up to 15 hours), but I've been able to accomplish the status of what some might peg as a successful entrepreneur by shear hard work, researching and then implementing my own "original" ideas, staying motivated and focused on my end goals, and YES, investing money in things that will "make me more money".

In other words there are TONS of ways to make money online. People do it every day. There are billions of people who pull in six-figure salaries (or higher) every year by simply conducting their business online. But these people work hard at it at least in the early stages until they could afford to hire employees or put everything on auto-pilot so to speak.

Occasionally the media gets wind of a successful dot-commer and they write a story about them. But there are millions more just like him/her that no one hears about.

Okay ... Here's the second most common question after my most common reply:

"So where do I start? What kind of business can I start?"

Here's my second most common answer:

"Think about what you like to do. Your best work will come naturally and you will be good at it, if you like it. Even if your most favorite thing to do is sit on the couch and watch TV while you munch on the latest fad junk food, you CAN make that into a business. Simply step outside of that mental box that tells you it is a silly thing to try to capitalize on and start thinking about it from a creative point of view."

"If you like trying the latest fad junk food, go ahead if your weight can handle it. Then write a few articles about each item, publish it to your website along with a review of each TV show you watched that day. Then contact the companies you reviewed and get some advertising deals going with them. Before you know it, you are in business and doing something you like to do, making money at doing it and gaining a considerable amount of weight. Oh well, you can't have it all!" ;)

We The Jury Find the Defendant, ...

If you read our blog regularly, you know that we have personal ties to the legal industry and watch Court TV in the office on a regular basis. Our most recent Court TV addiction has been the Scott Peterson double-murder trial.

On September 22nd of this year, I invited you to vote whether you thought Mr. Peterson was guilty or not guilty. If you missed it, I've got good news.

You can still vote. The voting booth is still open. Click Here to Vote | View the voting results: Click Here

The jury in the Scott Peterson double-murder trial is now in deliberation and has been for just under one hour (as of the writing of this blog entry). Will it be a quick and clean cut verdict or will it be an ugly debate between the jurors? I guess we should know soon. This is the moment we have all been waiting for, but let's not forget that three lives were lost due to this unfortunate tragedy: Laci, her son Conner and ... Scott's. No matter what the verdict may be Scott Peterson's life will never be the same.

Election Day in the USA

As standard policy we generally do not post anything in our blog about politics. But we do want to remind everyone in the USA to vote today.

Think of it this way: "Your vote is your future."

If you don't vote, then you are giving up your right to control (somewhat) your destiny and your future. I don't know about you, but I like to have (or at least think I have) a little bit of control of my life in the coming years. So with that in mind, if you don't vote and things don't go the way you hoped for, do you really have the right to complain? ;) Get out there and vote, folks!

Technical Difficulties

Hey folks. It seems Blogger is having technical difficulties with their Mail-to-Blogger module and slow external server posting. Couple that issue with the backlog of emailed posts I approved this past weekend, and you've got a bit of a "messy" blog. Hopefully, our BasicBlog wasn't too scary for you over the Halloween weekend. ;) I am hopeful it will all be straightened out very soon. Hang in there.
