Writing good copy for a small business website is not easy. It really isn’t just a matter of sitting down at the keyboard, opening up your HTML editor and pounding away on your keyboard.
Unfortunately that’s exactly what a lot of people do and then they wonder why their website isn’t attracting the business they expected it to.
If you’re one of those people then perhaps spending a few minutes reading Common Mistakes That Can Kill Your Web Copy might be helpful.
If, like me, you use Skype then you should be warned there has been some critical flaws uncovered in a recent version of the programme. They actually came to light yesterday and were quickly fixed.
So perhaps you should pop along to the official website and see if you are one of those that needs to download the security patches.
If you’re one of the growing number of online businesses that uses Skype for free phone calls across the road or across the planet I’m sure you will be pleased to know that there is a Skype virus loose on the Net.
It won’t come to you via Skype and and it doesn’t actually infect Skype but it will create havoc on your computer.
It comes in the form of an email that claims to contain version 1.4 of Skype’s voice over Internet Protocol software. Opening the attachment with the email doesn’t install Skype at all but it does install the Trojan.
Skype did release a new version of its software back on October 10 but it does not distribute any of its software via email.
If you have any doubts you should always visit the Skype website at http://www.skype.com/security/.
