Self-Starters Weekly Tips ================================= We’ve
got a short week ahead of us as most of us take off early to enjoy
the Thanksgiving holiday. Lets make the
most of it! Happy Monday ;-)

Dreamweaver Tip – Defining Sites 2)
Dynamic Content - How & Why 3)

Note from Lynn J &
More Tips! =============================== For those of you that are using
Macromedia Dreamweaver as your HTML editor,
this tip will save you hours of time! This is particularly useful
when you need to change the navigation on every page of your site,
or when you need to change a link on any page it might appear on
your site. Instead of editing each page individually, or searching
every page to see if contains the link you need to change, you can
use these steps to make the update automatically on every relevant
page: 1) Launch
Dreamweaver. 2)
Choose Site > Define Sites. 3)
In the Define Sites dialog box, click New. 4)
Enter the name of the site you are working on. 5) Click the folder icon to the
right of the Local Root Folder field, and choose the folder on your
hard drive that contains your web site files. 6) Enter
your website address, and click OK. Create a cache file and click
Done. The
Site window opens, displaying all of your website files. You can
now go to Edit > Replace and enter any code that is on your site,
along with the code you would like to replace it with – and
with the click of a button (“Replace All”), every link
or image within your website will be updated! ============================= This
is just one of the many great uses for Dynamic Content – but
its an important one! Going back to Joint Venture Marketing*
as discussed in a previous issue, you might choose to swap content
with another website owner to increase exposure, while offering
your visitors even more relevant content (also beneficial in your
search engine ranking!). Using Dynamic Content, both site owners
can have complete control over the content that is displayed on
the other website simply by updating a page on their own web server! For
example, using the Tupperware & Recipe Swap sites again, the
Tupperware pages could be automatically updated each week to reflect
the “Recipe of the Week”, and the Recipe Swap page could
automatically contain the most current Tupperware specials…
using a simple piece of [copy & paste] code that each site owner
can use to update a page on their own website and have those changes
reflected on a specific page of the other website as well. *reference:

Anytime
you want to make updates to more than one site at a time, or would
like to rotate or change the content on a website where you have
limited server access, this code will come in handy! See this example
in action: http://www.webservicenetwork.com/dynamiccontent.html
If
you view the source code of that page (View > Source), you’ll
notice that there is nothing there that shows the code for the table
and text that you see. What you will find is that the content is
pulled from another website altogether, specifically: http://www.marygoulet.net/wsradio.html
. Do you see the potential here? (More about what you saw
on that page is mentioned below) You
can easily customize this code to use in rotating advertisements,
content and news/specials… You
can grab the copy & paste code here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/iframescroll.htm Dynamic Drive DHTML code library =========================== WebPosition

week I told you about The Homebased Business
Show on wsRadio.com (http://www.webservicenetwork.com/newsletter/111802.htm).
Mark
LeBlanc was on this past Wednesday and
he was INCREDIBLE! I called in and won a copy of his book
:D I am totally hooked - its like
attending seminars and conferences on a variety of business and
marketing topics... in the comfort of your own home - and at NO
COST! You
can click here to go straight to The Homebased
Business Show and listen to the archives: http://www.wsradio.com/cart/ProductDetail.asp?PR_ProductID=240 Have
fun!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have :) Also… Remember
how I talked about becoming an affiliate of eBay
and making .05 cents per bid, and $5.00 per new registration? (I
am making good commission with this program, by the way!) Well,
I found a new tool where you can add your auction listings to your
website using your affiliate link, and it is SO COOL! It updates
automatically, so you just put the code in and be done! You
saw the code in action above, in the Dynamic Content Section. If
you missed it, you can also see it here: http://www.MaryGoulet.net/sponsorinfo.html
Pretty
nice, huh?
If
you aren’t selling on eBay at all
yet, you can click here for some cool eBay
tips & sign up for an eBay ID: http://www.WebServiceNetwork.com/ebay.htm
Once
you sign up to be an affiliate, if you can’t find the code
to add to your web page, or have any trouble with it at all, email
me at Lynn@WebServiceNetwork.com - :) On
a personal note… Have
a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend J
I am planning to be out of town Thursday through Sunday to visit
with family, and take some time off to hang out with the kids and
relax for a few days. I hope you each have an enjoyable day with
much to be thankful for! ****************** IN CLOSING… ****************** It
is my personal mission to bring you an assortment of resources for
your internet business each week in an easy-to-use format. Most
of the resources found in each issue are a result of years of research
