How to Remove a Sponsored Link From a Home Page


Pay for a better site. The first thing you have to consider is paying or paying more for your site. Most hosts that offer free or low-cost website hosting offer an upgrade for a very small amount. The upgrade will remove the sponsors from your own page. You may still be using a sub-domain or you may have your own--it depends on the host. with a little more money you can upgrade to a site with no sponsored links. Hosting can be as cheap as $3 a month. If you want to make up that cost you can use Google AdWords to help pay for the costs. This is basically another form of sponsored link, but you're more in control.
Sign up for free hosting with no advertisements. There are companies that offer free hosting with no advertisements or sponsored links, such as the site X10hosting. The host will require something from you, such as participating in forums, to help make up the cost. There will also likely be limits on your website that offer less flexibility than you would get with paid hosting.
Use Blogger. Blogger.com is a free service that lets anyone write a blog for free with no advertisements. There are other websites that allow free blogs, but Blogger is the most well known and will give you a URL that looks like this: (yourname).blogspot.com. Different sites have different formats and options. This can be the best way to establish an Internet presence with no sponsored ads or links.
Call customer support. If you really want to keep the website you have on your current host, try calling or emailing customer support and asking them what you can do to remove sponsored links or ads.

How to Throw a casual wine tasting party (10 Steps)


Plan the date so that you can have 6-8 guests. Ask each couple or person to bring an appetizer and one bottle of wine in a paper bag (have bag available for those that did not remember.)
Ask your guests to arrive promptly at a specific time so you can begin eating and wine tasting at the same time. Fashionably late doesn't work for this party!
Specify a maximum price range on the wine. It's up to each person if they want to try and 'fool' everyone with a cheap wine, or give them a taste of an expensive one. If possible, decide ahead of time whether to taste whites or reds.
When guests arrive, the host should remove the cork and place the bottle in a paper bag if they did not arrive that way. Once all wine has arrived, in random order, write a number each bag. Place a rubber band around the top, or tie a ribbon around the neck of the bottle to keep the bag from falling off.
Have paper and pencils ready for your guests with a chart already drawn. Have numbers down the side and ratings across the top, leave room for comments on the right side. This will be used to rate the wines. You can even have a column to guess the price!
Start by having everyone fill a plate with food and start to enjoy the appetizers. Provide everyone with a wine glass and pour a small amount of the same bottle into each glass. You don't have to empty the bottle, leave some so when the 'tasting' is over, those that like the various wines can have a bit more.
Encourage conversation about the wine, how does it taste? Can people tell if it's a Merlot or Cabernet? What's the value? You don't have to be a wine enthusiast with all the right words to have fun at this party. Keep it simple. Have them rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 with five being the best.
Even though you are eating a variety of foods, and some wine tastes better than others with different flavors - this is for fun - not for the professional wine tasters.
Compare and have fun! Repeat with the remaining bottles of wine, just a few sips for every person out of each bottle is enough.
When done, tally up the scores and see who is the winner! Was it the $5 bottle of the $20 bottle? Who wants more?

How to Legally Shut Down a Website (8 Steps)


Cancel your account with your Web hosting service. Once canceled, the company will delete your web pages from its server and your web pages will no longer be served to visitors.
Relinquish your domain name. Contact the company that registered your domain, such as Go Daddy, Cheap Domain or Yahoo, and ask that your domain name be canceled. Your domain name will be returned to the public pool and another user may purchase it.
Wait 48 hours and then navigate to your old website URL using your Web browser. Verify that the site no longer works. Depending on the domain service provider, an error page or an advertisement may be displayed.
