all this people shouting and using offensive words here....

Shm....

Where are the moderators?.....

The noise is becoming unbearable....

Alright, i know what to do....

Class! I am writing the names of noise makers here.... If i catch you making a noise again, i will write your name and take it to the principal...

Guess who the principal is?....

Shea you know what he can do na?...

So respect your old age, everyone...

wordpress is more a blogging platform than anything but hey....you can use it in creating a forum....

Yeah you can create a forum using BBpress, one of the forum plugins in wordpress.

See the message i got "Please enter a valid credit or debit card number."

Your card number is the long string of number at the front of your card.

Also ensure that the name you fill in when putting your card details is the exact with the one on the card...

lets pray they will do something about it....

Do you have a back up of your website?...
If you do, then lucky you!....
Just delete the one from your cpanel and upload the backed up one....
Bingo! You sure are good to go...

Fighting crime and website hacking should be a continious process because as days goes on new inventions and tricks are created...

That being said...

Purchase an SSL certificate for your website url...

Never use "Admin" as your username....

Always choose a strong password, a password that is alphanumeric and contains spaces too.....

Install Askimet or some other security software for your site...

Make sure you have a double authentication in your login....

Never store confidentail codes in your mobile or computers in case it is compromised either by having legal or illegal access to it.....

Change your passwords at least once in a month.....

If you have a membership site or forum, ensure that your members stick to having strong passwords...

Install a Captcha....

If you are using wordpress, ensure you always update your plugins and software anytime an update is avalaible....

If you are a webmaster write cleaner codes, also remove your comments before uploading your website files so it woun't be damn easy for alliens to hack it up....

And the best of all...

Use your common sense!!!!!!!!!.....

Common sense are called common but it is not common indeed!

[color=teal]The Great Gandhi said: Do not believe anything that doesn't agree with your common sense, even if i said it.[/color]

Now in the other side....

One should never be afraid of a hacker, in fact you actually need to feel at home with him or her.

Hackers nowadays can be liken to most Nigerian police....we fear Naija police while the ought to be our friend....simply because of corruption and greediness.

Why do i said this?...

The word Hacker used not to be associated with negative things...

Actually the word Hacker stands for a self-taught computer geek.

Then what went wrong?....

Something must have terribly gone wrong!.....

But did you ever take a look behind the eyes of a hacker?

Have you ever wondered what made him tick?

I bet you will find out it is not what you think when you read this post on how[url=w3programs.com/a-hacker-explains-why/] A Hacker Explains Why[/url]

Also you will realise that Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Paul Allen and a bunch of others are Hackers when visit this link on [url=w3programs.com/do-you-know-who-the-real-hackers-are-know-how-it-all-started-now/]know who the real hackers are and how it all started[/url]

Pew!.... [color=orange]seriously like flew![/color]


Things about security doesn't alway look good.... It is always a marathon race...

Anyways...

Secure from Bad Guys and Website hackers!

Just a simple and good safety tip for only you


Have a great day dear....

Emmysteve:
Thanks. Can you please tell me how i can pay using master card? What am i going to fill in YYYY, CV. V MM and card number? Your contribution would be a great help.

alright....

You put your card expiring year in YYYY...

Then put the expiring month in MM...

Also put your card number in the input button...

Lastly...

Turn the back of your card, you will notice 3 digits there. It goes into the CV

Hope it helps?.....

hibeekay01:
I don't understand you @ fattbabakay

He is trying to let you know that your site is no different from those sites out there....

Try and make your website mobile friendly though....

iyoha240:
Like how many?

One can't say for sure... It depends on the geography and region you are targeting and the ages of the people you are targeting.... There are options for you to choose..

Lastly... Having something worthwhile will increase your click throughs....

Emmysteve:
Please how can i pay? I have tried several times without success

You can pay using paypal, or your mastercard...also visa card is allowed too...

iyoha240:
at least how many people will the advert reach if i boost with $1?

Quite a great number....

start a tutorial website on anything you know how to do best and have great passion in...

Awe[color=teal]so[/color]me!

Knownpal:
You're on point bro. A friend of mine (lagos base) developed a mini inventory system for a client for his small business, I was even thinking of digits with 3 zeros after any 2 digits (20k and above). Unfortunately he was given 2k, what do we say about that? Programmer's business strategy or client business's condition?

Programmers business strategy.....


I have said it times without number, if you know you are gifted in programming and codes.... Find someone very good in accounting and administration to patner with.... Or better still pay someone to handle your business end....

Jack of all trade is master of none...

You will end up doing everything and come off half baked.....

Assuming you are to become a brillant programmer, you will end up only a good programmer...

Assuming you are to become Ophrah Winfrey, you will end up becoming an accountant or some other good office post somewhere in urban Nigeria.


Dalu kwanu...

there is nothing like that...
Just learn....learn....re-learn.....
Learn everything.....practice everything.....read all if you can....
After all, it will only help you and not me...
Good pm...

You can design a professionla website without CSS!

Like seriously?

For real?...

Oh come on, you are a joke!

It is similar to saying you can build a presidental house without painting it!....

Pew! CSS is boring?.....

Hmmmm what can i say...

Alright here is what i say....

[color=yellowgreen]Website designing[/color] is like building a house...

Html is your bricks, blocks, mortars, woods, irons.....

Css is your paints, flowers, artworks, pictures, tiles, plaster of paris, inter-locks.....

[color=teal]Javascript[/color] is your lifts, door bells, french doors, shakespearian windows, cctv cameras, televisons, cd players, beds, costly cushions, gas cookers.....

My brother, you see they all work hand in hand....

They all need themselves to be complete and beautiful...

tohero:
Don't let us forget about browser support for html5. Though you can manoeuvre your way with extra codes but still does not applies to all.

Still, it is better to use html5 wisely now so that when browser support is very much widely supported it can easily be integrated to.

You can get away with the unsupported tags by putting the below code to your css...

header, nav, content, section, article, footer,
{display:block}

Wordpress is simply the best

Why?

Because it it easy and popular and has a huge community of user to help you when things become tough...

Also it has the best and largest plugins on anything you will want for your website.

[color=yellowgreen]Code is Poetry[/color]

wonderful!.....
Wow! You did a nice article here...
May i add this...
If you are also torn between choosing which one to go for; blog or forum?
Then read this my answer on this nairaland thread.... click here

Really dont know what to do.. seriously in need of bar.. I design websites.. a friend of mine has a client who is a scammer.. the client want us to do a e-commerce website, I have billed the client.. I have even collected 50% of the payment. But is it illegal.. am I in danger.. have got alot of questions. .. what do u guys fink.. I need the money.. any legal advice here.. will appreciate pls

Michael Jackson said it right....

Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire universe......

Listen...

By designing a site for him/her, you are aiding him/her into pepetrating his evil act the more with that website.

The internet is wide and later on, one of your one might fall into his trap through the website.

You really need the money i understand...

But their is something we called Good Principle.

Standing for good and shurning evil no matter what, no matter the amount of discomfort it will bring is Good Principle!

We all have concience.....

Yes, it speaks to us often, it is just that we always shut it off because it always tells us the bitter truth which we don't want to hear...

Search your soul deeply for the true voice and decide what to do next.

Like Joshua said to the Israelites....

Choose today whom you will serve, as for me and my family we will serve God

The power to choose is in your hands...

Remember....

Your decision today decides where you will be tommorow.


Hope i made some impact?...

well some people use wapka to develop their site.. You can go to www.wapka.mobi.

Then, others use wordpress or blogger. You can go to www.wordpress.org or www.blogger.com

See you at the top...

Your observation is quite sound!...

Well, but i think they don't have time to go over and start recoding the whole thing... I just can't tell for sure why..

But meeeeen, html 5 is the new bang in town!

It is the FUTURE in web designing....

Cleaner coding...

Simple doctype....

Caching....

Audio and video support...

Just to mention but a few!..

Christ! You really need to read [url=w3programs.com/top-7-benefits-of-using-html5-over-html4/]TOP 7 BENEFITS OF USING HTML5 OVER HTML4[/url] to see for yourself.

[url=w3programs.com/top-7-benefits-of-using-html5-over-html4/]Html5[/url] combined with css3 is bomblast!

I personally recommend namecheap.com as a very good host for you because that is what i use and have never had issues with them.

I must not say they are the best but i really enjoyed their service and a lot of people i know also enjoyed it.

Visit namecheap.com today and see what am talking about.

my brother... Kindly go for a foriegn host because the fear of nigerian hosts is the begining of wisdom

One may say i am not being patrotic, but why i said this is because of loads of complains coming from different angles about the low services an expectations of nigerian hosts.

I must add; i never used a nigerian host and will love to only if they will do their best.

I use namecheap.com as my hosting plan. And as their name sound, they are the cheapest hosting company that will not exchange value for low price.

I got good services from them and have never had a cause to compalin. My site is always up and running and they also have a good cpanel that will make things easier for you.

Visit namecheap.com today and see for yourself.

theplushist:
Can you expantiate? How does only copywriting give you authority?

Well, being an authority in your niche automatically attracts traffic to you.

Being an authority in your niche gives you a high page rank.

And you can only be an authority through good copywriting, and content marketing.
