HTML BASIC TAGS TO PRACTICE


You already know simple html document is like below.

<html>
<head>
<title>you can put title of the tag here</title>
</head>
<body>
you can put all text statements here
</body>
</html>

Remember you have to type all these in notepad and save it as html file (.html file name extension).

1. <body bgcolor=“yellow”>
This tag sets the background color of the html document as yellow. Instead of color name you can give hexadecimal code of any color.
Ex: yellow hex code is #ffff00
So you can use it like this <body bgcolor=“#ffff00”>

2. <body text=“purple”>
This tag sets the text color of a webpage to purple.

3. <body link=“blue” alink=“green” vlink=“purple”>
This tag sets the link color, activated link color and visited link color.

Html color codes:
Black #000000
White #ffffff
Green #008000
Red #ff0000
Blue #0000ff
Yellow #ffff00
Silver #c0c0c0
Gray #808080
Purple #800080
Lime #00ff00
Olive #808000
Navy #000080
Teal #008080
Aqua #00ffff
Refer any Html book for more color codes.

4.<body background=
“http://www.indiafm.com/wallpapers/aishwarya.gif”>
This tag sets Aishwarya image as background image of your webpage. The images can be taken from any websites. You must give the exact path of the image in between double inverted quotes.

5. Including a comment
In HTML we can include comments in the document but comments donot appear when the document is rendered. The following is a sample comment
<!--example of a comment -->

6. Insertion of special characters into a html document
Html provides two codes Character code and Entity reference. You can use any code. For example if you want to install Copy right sybol © in the body text of html document. Then

Character code for copy right symbol is &#169;
Entity reference for copy right symbol is &copy;

First open your html document in notepad like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>you can put title of the tag here</title>
</head>
<body>
you can put all text statements here
</body>
</html>
Then locate the position in which you want to put a special character. Move insertion point to this location and type the code there. Suppose you want to insert copy right symbol © at the beginning of body text of above html document. Then put the code &copy; just before body text like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>you can put title of the tag here</title>
</head>
<body>
&copy;you can put all text statements here
</body>
</html>
Then save the html document and open it in a browser then copy right symbol © will appear at the beginning of the body text like this.

©you can put all text statements here.

For all the remaining codes refer any html book.

How to connect a printer?


On the computer. Do not give supply to printer. Now connect the printer USB cable to USB port of the computer. Now give power supply to printer. Then computer will detect the printer and on the screen it will display “found new hardware wizard”. You will find three options on the screen. Choose last option “no,not this time”,and click next. Then put the printer cd in drive and select “install from a list or specific location(advanced)” option and click next. On the screen select “search removable media(floppy,cd)”then click next. Then it will install the printer driver. Now you are ready to use the printer.

What is Firewall?


Firewall restricts information that comes from the internet or a network to our computer. Firewall gives more control over the data on our computer. Firewall is a barrier that checks traffic coming from other computers or a network to our computer. Firewall allows or disallows this traffic depending on our firewall settings.

Without invitation if somebody on the internet or a network tries to connect to our computer then firewall blocks the connection. Multiplayer games receives information from internet or a network. When we are playing multiplayer games then firewall asks whether we block or unblock the connection. If you choose block then you can not play the multiplayer game. If you choose unblock then firewall creates an exception for that multiplayer game then you can play the game with others on the internet. Firewall won't bother when that game receives information from the internet in future. So firewall provides defense against people or programs that try to connect to our computer without invitation. Thus it provides more secure to our computer.

Firewall block viruses and worms that try to reach our computer. But firewall does not detect or disable viruses and worms that are already on our computer. So we should also install antivirus software. We have to update antivirus software regularly in order to prevent virus and worms attacks.

Firewall ask for our permission to block or allow certain connection requests. But firewall does not stop us from opening e-mail with dangerous virus attachments. Also it does not block spam e-mail that come to our inbox.

Firewall creates a security log. Security log is a record which records successful and unsuccessful attempts that try to connect to our computer.

Note: Articles on Windows NT,Windows 2000 Server,Windows 2003 Server will come soon on my blog under the same NETWORKING section.

Google Adsense is the most Genuine online money generating system


I have observed so many earn money online schemes over the net. But I believe that Google Adsense is the most genuine one. Any website publisher can earn money with Google Adsense. Google adsense program is free.

Website publishers of all sizes can earn money by displaying relevant Google Ads on their Website's content pages. All these Ads are related to the content of your website pages. Google will automatically deliver text and image ads that are precisely targeted to your site and your site content. When your content changes Google adsense automatically change ads relevant to your content. So these ads will definitely attract all of your website visitors. With these contextually targeted ads users will certainly come back to your site.

For website publishers signing up and maintaining relationships with advertisers is a fulltime job. Google adsense will do the above work for us. So with minimal effort we can access thousands of advertisers. Google's advertisers range from global brands to small local companies.

You can block competitive ads simply by telling Google which URl's to block. Google automatically filters ads that are not relevant to your pages. You can customize the appearance of your ads by choosing from over 200 colors and 24 preset color palettes.

Website publishers can provide Google web and site search to their visitors and earn money by displaying Google Ads on the search results pages.

If you are interested just complete the online application. One application is enough for both Adsense and Adsense for search. Google will review your application and follow up with an email within 2-3 days. If you are accepted into the program, you can log in to your new account and get the HTML code to insert into your web pages.

Place Ads of your Advertisers on Google and earn money from your Merchants


The little text ads that appear next to search results on Google are called google Adwords. These Ads are highly visible.

All these Ads are provided to you by your merchants. You simply place those Ads on Google and guide the customars to the product or service they want. Merchant will give commission to you if any customar buys any product from the merchant. Some of the merchants will pay to you if anyone sign up in their site or gets registered in their site. But you have to pay Google if anyone clicks your Ad.

You create ads and choose keywords related to your business. When anyone search on google using one of your keywords then your ad may appear next to the search results. Then people may click your ad and do one or more purchases. Then you will get commission from your merchants.

You can edit your ads as you wish. You can use variety of Adformats. You can display your ads to specific languages and geographic locations.

You can set your Ad budget as you wish. For example you can set a daily budget of 1 dollar and choose to pay 1 cent each time your ad is clicked.

Google provide all keyword traffic and cost estimates. So you can take own decisions in choosing keywords and in setting daily Ad budget.
