Hello,

The internet opens up a whole new world of fundraising opportunities available to you and your organization.
Most people are not aware of the resources available to them on the internet and how the internet can help them raise the funds they need for their organization. When utilizing the world wide web, your group has many different options at their fingertips which can mean great profits for your group.
Below are a few different ways you can utilize the internet to help with your fundraiser:
1. You can contact a company of your choosing online and approach them about sharing proceeds with your group. Explain to them why you need the funds, how much you are hoping to raise and then discuss ways you can work together. They may be willing to send you some brochures, catalogues or flyers. Or you can make up your own flyers that include their name and say when you shop at “Store B” they will donate a percentage of all sales to your group. You can also include more than one company, but you would want to make sure they aren’t in direct competition with one another.
2. You can have a website built that explains your fundraiser in detail. You can include how they can help, why you need the money and how much money you are hoping to raise. After the website is in place, you can then direct people to it. The great thing about this option is now you can send your relatives and friends that live in a different state to your website so they can participate in your fundraiser. And just imagine how many other students will have friends and family from all over that can now participate in your fundraiser. Make up some flyers and start passing them out all over town, every where you go; this too will help make more people aware of your fundraiser. Be sure that there is a clear way for those out of town to order from or support the fundraiser on your website. You can also use a fundraising thermometer to visually track your progress on the site.
3. You can utilize an affiliate program to allow your group to shop online while providing you with a piece of the pie. A common affiliate program you can use is Amazon. They offer a lot of books, so you can push the educational angle of shopping with them and in addition, they offer about as many products as you would find in a local mall – making it easy for anyone to shop for normal everyday items with them. This also allows friends and family members who don’t live locally to be able to support your school by making purchases online. You can become a detailed affiliate and build a site specifically for the affiliate program, or just place one link on your site for people to enter the affiliate site on and make a purchase.
Before deciding to do an Internet fundraiser for your school or group, you may want to get approval from the organization you plan to fundraise for before starting any such projects or advertising your fundraiser online.

Enjoy…

Understanding the Registry :

The registry is the complete repository of the system.
The Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP Registry is a complex, unified, system wide database, used for storing, locating, editing and administering the system, hardware, software which follows a hierarchical structure.
It was introduced to replace the text/ASCII based MS-DOS configuration (.BAT, .SYS) and MS Windows initialization (.INI) files.

Registry Structure :

The registry is divided into five separate structures that represent the registry database completely. These five groups are known as keys and they are as below given ;

1) HKEY_CURRENT_USER
This registry key contains the configuration information for the user that is currently logged in. The users folders, screen colors, and control panel settings are stored here. This information is known as a User Profile.

2) HKEY_USERS
In windowsNT 3.5x, user profiles were stored locally (by default) in the systemroot\system32\config directory. In NT4.0, they are stored in the systemroot\profiles directory. User-Specific information is kept there, as well as common, system wide user information.

3) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
This key contains configuration information particular to the computer. This information is stored in the systemroot\system32\config directory as persistent operating system files, with the exception of the volatile hardware key.

4) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
The information stored here is used to open the correct application when a file is opened by using Explorer and for Object Linking and Embedding. It is actually a window that reflects information from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software subkey.

5) HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
The information contained in this key is to configure settings such as the software and device drivers to load or the display resolution to use. This key has a software and system subkeys, which keep track of configuration information.

Each of these keys is divided into subkeys, which may contain further subkeys, and so on. Any key may contain entries with various types of values. The values of these entries can be ;

- String Value
- Binary Value (0 or 1)
- DWORD Value, a 32 bit unsigned integer
- Multi-String Value
- Expandable String Value

Editing Registry :

Always make sure that you know what you are doing when changing the registry or else just one little mistake can crash the whole system. That’s why it’s always good to back it up !
To view the registry (or to back it up), you need to use the Registry Editor tool. There are two versions of Registry Editor ;

To modify the Registry, you need to use a Registry Editor as :

- Start
- Run
- Regedit.exe (Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP) = located in %WinBootDir% (%SystemRoot%) has the most menu items and more choices for the menu items. You can search for keys and subkeys in the registry.
- Regedt32.exe (Windows NT/2000/XP) = located in %SystemRoot%\System32,enables you to search for strings, values, keys, and subkeys. This feature is useful if you want to find specific data.

What is REG Files ?

.reg file, which can be in the for of ;
- Plain text/ASCII format in Windows 95/98/ME and NT/2000/XP or
- Binary format in Windows 2000/XP

Text .REG files can be easily viewed/created/edited by hand using any text/ASCII editor, like Notepad.

Their purpose is to add, modify or delete Registry (Sub) Keys and/or Values.

Trackback is a blogging term. It is a functionality that allows you to easily contribute and respond to feedback from around the blog community.
For example, when you are reading another persons blog site, you might have read a particular entry that you found interesting enough to leave a comment. Generally you would leave your thoughts in that blog’s comments field. While this is a great way to contribute it does deprive your own blog of content. You may be inspired from the blog entry to write something slightly different or more thorough.

So instead of leaving a detailed and potentially long comment you can write your own blog entry in your own blog and create a special link which would be a trackback to the original blog entry from where you were inspired. Usually you could put in a simple URL to the original blog entry, But the problem with this method is that the original blog entry doesn’t get to know or promote your new post.

To create the trackback you must find the trackback URL that the site promotes for that entry. This is found underneath the entry in the comments section. Using that URL you paste into the trackback field in the blog entry page. When you publish your new blog entry, the originating site will be automatically alerted that will then list your blog entry with the other comments. Thus you have now created a link between your two blog entries. It is just like comments, when someone trackbacks to one of your entries it will show up on your entries page next to the appropriate entry. If you click on this it will take you to a page that displays the title URI and excerpt from their entry.

This kind of remote commenting allows for greater detail without losing the readers.

Your own blog entries have trackbacks already enabled for others to remotely comment. When someone trackbacks to your blog their details will be listed under your own blog comments. A small title and the URL will be displayed that allows your readers to click to read more.

Trackback is supported by many blog sites and it is a great way for you to comment around the blog world while retaining your own identity and many links back to your blog.

Usenet is a worldwide bulletin board system of user-submitted notes or comments on various subjects that are posted to servers on a worldwide network. Every subject collection of posted notes is known as a newsgroup which cover every imaginable interest group. There are thousands of newsgroups and it is possible for you to form a new one. Most newsgroups are hosted on Internet-connected servers, but not all usenet machines are on the Internet, they can also be hosted from servers that are not part of the Internet. Usenet’s original protocol was UNIX-to-UNIX Copy (UUCP), but today the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) is used.

Most browsers, such as Netscape and Microsoft’s IE, provide Usenet support and access to any newsgroups that you select. On the Web, Google and other sites provide a subject-oriented directory as well as a search approach to newsgroups and help you register to participate in them. In addition, there are other newsgroup readers, such as Knews, that run as separate programs.

There are probably well over 30,000 newsgroups at any one time and more are added and deleted every single day and one of the most extraordinary facts about Usenet is that it isn’t part of any organization, nor does it have any sort of centralized network management authority.

A permalink is a blogging term and used as a short for “permanent link”. A permalink is a URL that links to a specific news story or Web posting which users can then use to bookmark that particular article. Permalinks are an important part of frequently changed and updated blogs, as without a permanent link, the posts would be difficult to find later. They give a specific Web address to each posting, allowing blog entries to be bookmarked by visitors or linked to from other websites. Permalinks are usually indicated by a hash-sign (#) or the permalink at the end of the post.

A permalink is what another weblogger will use to refer to your article, or how you might send a link to your story in an e-mail message. Because others may link to your individual articles, the URL to that article shouldn’t change.

Permalinks are based around the idea that URLs are frequently visible to the people who click them, and should therefore be crafted in such a way that they make sense, and not be filled with unnecessary descriptions. The best permalinks are those that a user might modify the link text in their browser to navigate to another section or listing of the weblog.

This is one the main top-level domains which was proposed by Spamhaus but was unfortunately unapproved by ICANN. Tidea of the domain was to decrease the amount of spam which arised due to creation of the address and authentication of the owner’s address was to be required.
However, this would only be owned if the same user owns a domain in another TLD which has been in use for a period of six months.

This mail consists of existing domain names with new TLD appended,
For e.g. – For a website - http://www.eukhost.com, this is a possibility -
www.eukhost.com.mail ,
and if the mail server is at server1.eukhost.com, the .mail address would be located at server1.eukhost.com.mail.

This domain does not have complete access from the registrant; however it would go to a publicly-accessible server where the relevant information of the domain name could be seen. Complaints of spam processes would be accessed at abuse@server1.eukhost.com.mailsex free horse moviemovie free pornomovies incest homeprivate movies porndevine movies avamovies porn cartoonthe movie little chickenfree facial movies Map
