How to install and use phpList

August 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment

f_11311108762_moneyfaucet.jpgIn this article I will explain how to install phpList and how to use this great PHP script. First, let’s answer the question what is phpList good for. PhpList is free script written in PHP which can be used as a newsletter manager. With the double opt-in subscription system you can be sure that your subscribers are really interested in your newsletter.

Web hosting requirements for phpList:

Before you start the installation process, ensure that your web host support PHP and MySQL database and you have at least 10 MB free disk space (more space will be necessary when your newsletter will grow and more data will be stored in MySQL database). PHP version must be at least 4.3.x or higher and MySQL version must be 3.23 or higher. Developers recommend to run this script on Linux servers with Apache Webserver. They highly recommend to run phplist with “safe mode” in PHP off too.

How to install phpList:

Download the *.tgz or *.zip package from developers website. Unpack the archive files using WinZip, Total Commander or similar program. Then upload files in public_html folder to your web host. Edit the lists/config/config.php file and setup variables like Mysql database server (usually localhost), database name (if you have not created the database yet, you should do it through your web hosting control panel), database username and password. Other settings you should leave intact unless you are sure what are you doing. Then point your browser to http://www.yourdomain.com/lists/admin and follow the instructions on the screen. That is the last step, when done the installation should be finished.

Another and easier solution how to install this PHP script is to sign up for a quality web hosting service which offers pre-installed PHP scripts. Then easily go to your control panel, find the section with pre-installed scripts and select phpList. The installer will do all the job for you. All you need to do is to choose the script you want to install.

How to use phpList:

Login to admin interface and look at configuration functions. From this place you can setup e. g. mailing list url, how often you want to check for a new version, url where users can subscribe and unsubscribe etc. Then check out links under list and user functions. This is the section where you can see and manage current lists, users, eventually import or export users. Under administrator functions it is possible to add, edit or remove administrators and configure attributes for administrators.

The most important section is called message functions — from this place you can send messages to your subscribers. You can choose between HTML format, plain text or combination of plain text and HTML, pick some of the templates, set up criteria (e. g. send email only to users that answered “yes” particular question when they signed up) and other options.

I hope the installation and settings will be easy for your. Anyway if you will have any problem you can visit developers website where is extensive documentation and forum.

Internet Business: How to Find the Best Home Internet Business

August 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment

f_21310582945_womanworkingathome.jpgThe first and most important rule to remember when you are selecting the best Internet business idea is the one that works for you. Often times the best Internet business, idea you can come up with is one that you will have fun doing.

A founder who has enthusiasm will often help a business thrive and survive far beyond other companies in the same field. However, you cannot have enthusiasm to keep your business running if you don’t like your job.

In addition, modern technology and Internet has made it possible and easy for almost anybody to thrive with an Internet based business. As long as you love your idea and you understand it then you will have a thriving business.

The second rule you should remember when selecting the best home internet business is if there is a good marketing system in place. You need to have an advanced plan or idea that will help generate the best possible traffic to your business or subscribers to your email newsletter. While you run your business always, keep in mind that without traffic you don’t have a business no matter how good your idea is.

When selecting the best home internet business you should be on the look out for some advantages that only the best internet business opportunities would have. These advantages may not look very important at first but they will eventually make the difference between early some spending money from your business opportunity and regularly taking home a six-figure check every month from your business opportunity without ever having to leave the house.

The best of the Internet business opportunities usually have a long and detailed section on affiliate information. Go to this section and check out the details. These details should provide you all the information you need to know how best to sell the Internet business opportunity. Having a large affiliate section is important since you won’t make any money off your business without sales. The larger the affiliate section the easier it will be for you to make an income off your home internet business. Some of the best opportunities even have a list of key contacts.

It is also a good idea to go with Internet business opportunities that have a detailed and specific payment policy and preferably one that allows you to be paid for second and even third tier affiliate sales. This means you are paid for sub affiliates that you introduce to the business program. This way you can earn an income off both your direct sales and those of the ones who have joined the program. This can make a big difference in the size of the paycheck you receive.

The Amazing Race Message Boards (TAR)

August 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

f_0money7.jpgI bet children and adults alike know that The Amazing Race, also known as TAR, is participated by teams, each with a pre-existing relationship, race around the world never knowing where they will go next or what they will have to do once there. In this game, the teams and their relationships will be out to ultimate test as they will have to work together just to stay ahead of the rest. As the test goes on, the team will be eliminated and in the end, the first team to cross the finish line will win a cool million dollars. Well, that’s The Amazing Race — one of the most popular reality TV shows in the whole world.

Being so popular, it’s no surprise that when it comes to The Amazing Race, there’s a lot of things to discuss. There are the casts, the teams, the hosts, the production, or the show in general. It is just so fortunate that several resources are now available for you to know what’s going on with the show. And, of those available resources, perhaps one of the largest is The Amazing Race message boards.

The Amazing Race message boards are now highly popular among the computer users. As the term connotes, The Amazing Race message boards were designed and developed for the fans or viewers of this amazing show to meet and discuss everything Amazing. These forums then serve as a form of channel for people from different corners in the world to meet, chat and make friends.

Obvious as it may seem, The Amazing Race message boards contain basic information about the show. The readers will learn everything about the episodes and its parts, the casts, the hosts, the challenges, the places that the teams go, and more. But, much to that, these forums open up new relationships between people of different race, gender and age, even online. The viewers or the members of the forums are of course not part of that “amazing- race in which millions of bucks are waiting for the winners, but the forums somehow situate the readers or the members into a scene where there is a convergence of ideas and personalities. As you may know, it is so typical in most forums to have that sort of “misunderstandings-. In The Amazing Race message boards, you don’t need to expect that everyone who participated there are optimistic about the show. As the aphorism goes, “nobody can please everybody-, thus it is only natural to see some people whom may be labeled as “The Amazing Race haters- in most of The Amazing Race message boards.

Note that there are some The Amazing Race message boards that prohibit the use of people age below 20. Some typically require registration, but there is no charge or fee to that. The registration is just needed for the members of the forums to obtain full access to the features offered by The Amazing Race message boards. Therefore, it’s nice to know the forums designed for the viewers of that reality TV show not only serve as a simple channel for discussion among the users, but they provide good security for the participants and visitors.

Today, almost hundreds of The Amazing Race message boards are available online. These forums are joined by people from around the world, making it one of the largest resources for The Amazing Race on earth.
