How to Write a Media Advisory (4 Steps)


Print the advisory on company or organization letterhead. This gives greater credibility to your advisory and immediately identifies who is hosting the event. While you're typing, leave room at the top of your document for the letterhead.
Type the words 'MEDIA ADVISORY' at the top of the page in all caps. Follow this with contact information for the person the media can speak with for more information. Include the person's name, title, phone number and email address.
Create a catchy headline that grabs the reporter's attention and accurately conveys the event's main idea. Use strong verbs and avoid unnecessary adjectives or filler words.
Cover all the important details of the event. Answer the main questions, such as: what the event is; where it's being held; who's sponsoring it and who will attend; what will happen; what the main events are; and, most importantly, why the media should be there to cover it. Explain whether there will be photo opportunities. Describe any subjects who will be available for one-on-one interviews.

How to Post Images on Internet Message Boards


Locate the image on the computer hard drive that is to be posted.
Host the image that is to be posted. There are many image hosting services on the Internet (see resources) that can accomplish this task. Follow the steps on the hosting site that was chosen and upload the image.
Obtain the source address for the image. Once the image is hosted it now has a source address. The source address is the images location on the host server. A source address appears similar to an Internet site address with one exception there is no www in the source address.
Insert the source address inside image markup tags. Markup tags are what enable the blogs and message boards to differentiate the image from regular typed text. An example of these tags is between the following quotation marks '
.' Be sure to eliminate the spaces between '

How to Create a Safe Website (5 Steps)


Create strong passwords for you website's back end, sometimes called the administration page. This is very important because if a cyber criminal can get access to the back end, then he can pretty much do anything he wants, since anything can be done to your site from its back end. Strong passwords include both upper and lowercase letters and numbers and are at least eight characters long. Many website administrators follow a stricter policy when securing their sites' back ends; they make their passwords at least fifteen characters.
Create strong passwords for any FTP, file transfer protocol, accounts that have access to your web server. Follow the same guidelines as you would for you site's back end, but you must also make sure that, if you have given FTP accounts to others, that they do not make simpler passwords for their own convenience.
Update your server operating system regularly. If you are leasing server space from a web hosting provider, then you will not have to worry about this, since your hosting provider will take care of it for you. However, if you are maintaining your own server, then you should check for security updates at least once every two weeks; consult your operating system's documentation for details.
Follow good security practices on all computers that you use FTP to your server from or log into the back end from. No matter how strong your passwords are, a key logger is going to compromise your site's security. This includes having a strong anti-malware suite, including a firewall, and keeping it up to date. Popular anti-malware suites include McAfee, Norton and Vipre.
Trust your users. If you start receiving feedback complaining that there seem to be random glitches on your site or that it is loading slowly or that your site is sending out a lot of spam, then there is a chance that your site has come under attack. Listening to these warnings can save you a lot of time and trouble.

How to Run a Pool Tournament in a Bar


Decide how many players will be allowed, keep in mind time and the number of available pool tables. The average weekly bar tournament allows 8-16 players for at least 2 pool tables. Draw up brackets or download them for free at a number of sites.
Decide on the rules of the pool tournament, including the number of games per match . Almost every league has its own variation on billiard rules, so specify what leagues rules you choose to follow. It is easier to pick a league to follow so that rules can be looked up or distributed to all players in the pool tournament.
When choosing the number of games per match keep time in mind. No player wants to wait hours between matches, but the bar owner needs players there long enough to buy food and drinks. An average 8-Ball tournament can be a race to see who wins 3 games, 9-Ball is often a race to 5 games.
Set an entry fee and ask the bar owner if they would like to add anything to the pot. This could include free drink coupons, t-shirts, or cash. You don't have to decide the exact dollar amount of the pay-outs at this time, but you should choose how the split will look as a percentage. For example, an average weekly bar pool tournament will split the pay-out like this: 1st Place - 50 percent, 2nd Place - 30 percent 3rd Place - 20 percent. The bar owner can decide how and when to award prizes they donated.
Advertise the pool tournament everywhere you can. Most pool league operators have newsletters they send out, ask to be included. Set fliers around the bar where the pool tournament is to be held, and other bar owners may allow you to advertise if pool is not their main interest.

How to Connect a CMS to a Website


Determine where the CMS will be connected on your website. If you have an existing website with content, you may want to connect the CMS to a URL other than the homepage of your website. On the other hand, if your website is new, you may want the CMS connected to the homepage.
Log in to your website hosting service. Activate the hosting control panel and navigate to the application installation section of the control panel.
Install a CMS. From the application installation section, select the CMS you'd like to install. Follow your website hosting service's instructions for installing and configuring the CMS. The website hosting service will likely create a database for your CMS to use and then install the CMS software. Write down any login or administrator information for the database and CMS that you enter during the installation process.
Add a test page or post. Access the administrator login page for your CMS. Add and publish a test page or post according to the instructions for your CMS. If you can't access the administrator page, you may need to reinstall the CMS.
Verify the CMS operation. Log out of the CMS administrator section. Visit your website as a visitor would and navigate to the location where the CMS is connected. Make sure your test page or post appears correctly and that the CMS is working. Make any necessary changes.

How to Create a .org Website


Decide on the name of your website (called the 'domain name'), and check to see if that domain name is available. There are numerous companies online called domain name registrars that own domain names and will test name availability. Not all registrars offer .org domain name extensions; for a list of accredited registrars with .org domain extensions, visit the Public Interest Registry's list at http://www.pir.org/get/registrars. (See Reference 1, Reference 3)
Follow the instructions for purchasing and setting up the website domain specified by the particular domain registrar used. In addition to testing the availability of the website name, the registrar may also offer domain name suggestions based on the website's purpose, as well as hosting the site itself.
Choose a website hosting service to maintain the site's online presence, if the domain name registrar is not used for this purpose. There are hundreds of reputable hosting services, and the best way to find one is to determine the needs of the website. It is important to take the following criteria into consideration: cost, technical support and reliability, and capability for handling website size and traffic. (See Reference 2)
Hire a web designer or company to create the pages of the website. It is important to have a professional design the website due to the vast knowledge required for search engine optimization, quality of content, usability and aesthetic appeal.

How to Make Money With a Web Server (7 Steps)


Get a computer for use as your server. Make sure that it has a fast processor (1.0 Ghz or faster), decent RAM (1GB or more) and a large hard drive (think 500GB or 1TB). You need to have room to host other people's files.
Follow instructions to set up your web server. It's outside the scope of this how-to, so you'll need to conduct your own research on how to get that done (see the Resources section).
Make sure your server always has power, so there's virtually no down time. Down time is something customers pay pretty close attention to when looking for a web hosting service.
Set up a website advertising your hosting service. Market different packages and options, based on what your web server is capable of supporting.
Use legal support to make sure that you are in compliance with local, state and federal business requirements.
Use legal support to clearly outline the terms and conditions of your web hosting. For instance, make sure your policies are clear regarding adult websites, music and file sharing.
Make money offering space on your server to others. Market your website to sell your hosting services, and you should be making money in no time.
