A: Website Safety and Security

From www.siteadvisor.com you can also download their free SiteAdvisor program. I use it and like it. It displays a button on your browser (Internet Explorer /FireFox) that changes color according to the safety level of the website you're viewing. Clicking on the button shows you safety and security information about the website being viewed, including any of the dangers mentioned in the previous paragraph, in a separate window. Very useful, informative and even interesting. The free SiteAdvisor program also has other features that you can read about on their website. I'm keeping the SiteAdvisor toolbar button, after having positioned it to where I want it. However, I uninstalled the Yahoo toolbar that came with it, because it took up way too much room on the top of my browser! ** ** I dislike the browser toolbars from "partner companies" being bundled together with other programs. I either de-select them during the download or installation process (when I can), or uninstall them afterwards. To uninstall them (in Windows), go to 'Control Panel' > 'Add or Remove Programs', then find and highlight the name of the unwanted toolbar, click on the 'Change/Remove' button and remove the entire toolbar. If I had kept all of the 'toolbars' I've been offered by installing other programs, there really wouldn't be much space left to view the webpages themselves! While it's true that most of them are of some use, there are almost always other less intrusive ways of doing the same things they do. Trying to minimize your number of browser toolbars is a good policy. B: Free Anti-Popup Programs See windowsmarketplace.com for a list of free anti-popup programs with descriptions. Also has links to product reviews, compatibility requirements, software publisher's website and other useful information. You can test your popup blocker safely on different types of popups at www.popuptest.com. They also have a list of anti-popup programs with their tested evaluation results. After safety & security software such as: A) a good anti-virus program and B) a separate good anti-adware/malware program, I recommend the following software for more enjoyable web surfing to my computer students and others who ask for my advice:
I currently use Super Ad Blocker. It passes all of the tests and more. They let you try the full version for free for 15 days, so it's definitely worth trying out, even if it's just to compare with whatever you may presently be using, out of curiosity. It blocks over 99% of all advertising - not just popups. - I want to mention that I prefer well-recommended freeware programs, which I can almost always find by searching and comparing. - In the future I might list excellent FREE programs that do the same things. No need to pay anything when there are excellent freeware programs. C: Helpful Tips About This Website This website is browser-friendly and user-friendly. It should display and function correctly with any web browser. Links within this site will open in the same window. External links are scripted to open in a new window. Personally, I usually choose to open those external links in a new tab rather than in a new window. There are a couple of facts that you should be aware of, some of which affect the display and functionality of the pages on this website: Cookies:This website doesn't use cookies. It doesn't matter if your computer blocks cookies or not, because this website doesn't use them to track visitors or for anything else. However, Some of the websites I link to use cookies. On the Page For Free Daily Charitable And Humanitarian Donations for example, many of the websites listed there need to use cookies to check how many times per day a single visitor clicks to make a free donation. That's because some of those websites want to limit your free donations to one per day per website. JavaScript: The floating website menu on the left side of this page and most other pages on this website will not be visible if your browser has JavaScript disabled. If that's the case, just use the regular links to navigate the pages of this website. No problem. Or enable JavaScript, if you prefer. Your choice. Using Popup Blockers: This website has no popups at all. But... All links to external websites ( including the links on the live newsfeeds ) are set to open in a new window. Some popup blockers will actually prevent a new window from opening when you click on these links to other websites. If you have that problem, you've probably already found a work-around. Otherwise, you could do one of the following: - Open them in a new tab, if you use tabbed browsing. - Use an "intelligent" popup killer, or a popup "filter" rather than a popup "blocker". See the above heading called "Free Anti-Popup Programs". - You could turn off your popup blocker for this website if it's the kind that's not "intelligent" enough to open a window when you click on a link. I'd get a better one if that happened to me, unless the program had a "whitelist" that you could add certain websites to. - Copy the shortcut of the external link and paste it into a new (or the same) browser window. - Set your popup blocker to accept popups from www.dailyvisits.com if you want. That wouldn't be a problem, since this website has no commercial popups, pop-unders, or any other kind of commercial ads. D: Other Domain Names My Domain Names Available is a short list of what I think are the best domain names that I have -- that I don't have time to set up as separate websites yet. Maybe some day. Hopefully. But right now I don't have the time to develop and run all of them myself. Any offers? Ideas? Partnerships? Trade/Barter? Suggestions? Comments? First have a look at the list of names. Then, if you're interested, follow the links to find my contact information.
