Filipino Food Recipes Available at Lutongbahay.com

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Filipino food recipes are now readily accessible online at Lutongbahay.com, the first and only interactive cooking portal that highlights Filipino regional food recipes. The words “lutong bahay” are Filipino for home cooking and that is exactly what you can do with the recipes you can find on the site. Anywhere you are in the world, all you need is an internet connection and this food portal to be able to make your own home cooked Filipino dish.

Any visitor to the site can get recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even merienda and beverages. Merienda is Filipino for snacks, but these can be quite heavy at times and can even be as hearty as meals, too. Merienda food can also include sweets or desserts, but there is a separate section on desserts and delicacies at the site.

Meal recipes include appetizers, soup, bread, pasta, beef, veal, chicken, pork, fish, seafood and vegetables. There is a special category for healthy recipes, as well.

Well-loved Philippine specialties are listed, plus innovations on familiar Filipino food. Among the breakfast recipes is Longganiza (Philippine-style sausage) Sandwich Pan De Sal. Among the bread recipes are Banana Loaf. Banana cake is comfort food for many Filipinos.

Among the merienda recipes are Baked Kamoteng Kahoy (cassava) and Bibingka. Bibingka is a traditional rice cake that is traditionally baked with hot coals over and under the banana leaf-wrapped cake, using makeshift ovens. Nowadays, though, bibingka can be made in the more conventional ovens.

Among the appetizer recipes at Lutongbahay.com is Achara (Philippine-style pickles). This is commonly made from unripe green papayas, but there are also versions using other ingredients such as ubod ng niyog (coconut tree pith) and bamboo shoots. Among the vegetable recipes are Bulanglang with various Philippine vegetables, and very spicy Bicol Express using Philippine labuyo (hot red chili).

Among the soup recipes is Batangas Bulalo (bone with marrow). This is one of the most famous and most loved Filipino recipes, despite its high cholesterol content.

Among the pasta recipes is Angel Hair Pasta with Tuyo (dried fish) Flakes. Pasta is not really a traditional Filipino dish but it has come to be a favorite and a mainstay on most tables. This variant uses tuyo or dried fish flakes, another Filipino favorite.

Among the beef recipes is Beef Caldereta. This is a very old Filipino recipe that has never lost its popularity. Among the chicken recipes are Adobong Manok sa Gata (chicken adobo in coconut milk), a variation on the famous Chicken Adobo. Among the pork recipes are Boneless Crispy Pata (Pork Leg), just as good as the legendary Filipino lechon (whole pig roasted over hot coals) but easier to do.

Among the fish recipes is Boneless Daing na Bangus (fried marinated milkfish) which every Filipino household has in its regular menu. Among the other seafood recipes is Adobong Pusit (squid adobo), of course complete with squid ink which gives it its distinctly Filipino flavor.

Among the recipes for desserts and delicacies is Halo-Halo. This is the Filipino version of a milk and crushed ice dessert that is common in Asia. In the Philippines, it includes camote (sweet potato), saba (plantain bananas), ripe langka (jackfruit) and various types of cooked beans previously cooked in syrup, ube halaya (purple yam jam), leche flan (milk flan) and crispy pinipig (native Philippine-style rice krispies).

Outsourcing – Making A Difference

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

No other development probably exists in this world that has come such a long way since its inception but the web industry or IT. Since all over the world, many log on to the internet every day to conduct business, to communicate with family and friends in various parts of the globe, to catch up on world news, to seek customer or technical support, to obtain travel information, along with the host of other communication and information related activities, all are made possible of the world wide web. Hence, the power that consumers wield over businesses is enormous. With those in mind, Corporations are drawn to the web industry because of its power to advertise their products and services to millions of potential customers, while seeking to realize benefits and or address several issues that any business would face like cost savings, tax benefits, even operational expertise along with many more. This is where outsourcing comes of great help. International outsourcing web designhas become one of the most celebrated avenues of transnational companies. Why so? The wage gap between industrialized and developing nations makes it more convincing for corporations to outsource. Having an access to larger talent pool and sustainable source of skills makes it even more appealing. One can run a company offering their products to their vicinity and to the world while another [the subcontracted company usually overseas] an International Web Hosting can take care of the e-commerce — marketing and services, incorporating email with costumer/technical support for example. Many companies nowadays are also outsourcing long term and or freelance professionals, experts and skilled workers. From professional programmers, marketers, designers, consultants, to data entry and admin experts, product sourcing and manufacturing consultants, teachers and even writers — all are readily available from all across the nations. International Web Hosting has a vast array of web applications and outsource web solution developments available on the web, yet, China Web Hosting, is one of the world’s market leader. Their services range from strategic planning, graphic design, web page development, content management system customization (CMS), custom programming, E-commerce, logo localization, website promotion, and other related services. China Website Solutions and China Web Designs have garnered high praises not only for their services but also for their very cost effective feasibility. Asian countries who are fluent in speaking English like Philippines and India [with whom China Web Hosting Solutions also compete with), tops on customer support services, web development and web design. Outsourcing may pose different challenges due to distance, culture and language. However, these are addressed through careful yet rigid training, enabling integration of product and service expertise. IT offers a rapidly growing collection of information, while opportunities for a reasonable if not ample profit lurk at the same time. International outsourcing web design and outsourcing as a whole is truly making a remarkable difference both on the point of view of a business advocating the practice and also to thousands who have had and are having a unique opportunity to participate.

Outsourcing, a New Trend

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Trends in the IT or web industry is continually evolving. It won’t come as a surprise if a new trend crops up again today or tomorrow. Long time ago, email was invented so it became the new web trend. Nowadays, even grade-schoolers already have email. Few years back, outsourcing became the trend and everywhere you look, big companies are talking about outsourcing. In fact, I recently came across this article on the web, and it was mainly talking about international web hosting and international outsourcing web design. Now, if you are new to the web industry and is not familiar with terms like outsourcing, hosting, etc, then read on. Outsourcing is the newest trend in the web industry, it is actually an action with which a company let’s say in the US employs a company in China for example for their. Since, China IT companies have China web hosting, China web design and China website solutions. Basically, that is what outsourcing means.

Outsourcing is also the reason why web hosting outsourcing has become a demand in the web industry. With this new trend a company can spend less and get that same quality work that they want or need. With this new trend, demand for outsourcing companies followed.  Outsourcing companies from India, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia and China are emerging with a boom. And because of this country like India and Philippines are now able to compete globally in terms of IT skills and resources. They provide services like web hosting, web design, search engine optimization, content writing, desktop applications and many more at very affordable prices.

Also, outsourcing does not merely apply on web works, web hosting solutions, etc. , it also applies to customer service representatives or call centers. There are many large companies that outsourced their customer service needs. Some of those companies have contracts with the call centers in India, Philippines, China and many more. Most of those call centers caters to technical inquiries or technical support and customer support.

Even accounting firms also employs outsourcing companies to do some if not most of their accounting jobs. So, everywhere you look, outsourcing jobs are everywhere.  Another thing, this outsourcing trend does not only apply to big outsourcing companies. In fact, it also applies to home based workers or freelancers. There are many home based web designers, search engine optimization specialists, accountant, and customer service representative and as long as they have an internet connection, outsourcing is very applicable for them.

With this new trend in the IT industry, there are many opportunities for everyone. It does not only give jobs to those who need jobs but it also helps companies to lessen their expenses.  It is a win-win scenario for everyone. I am sure that, sooner or later, when a new trend emerges again, it would be beneficial to everyone in the world, we just have to make it work for us and to not forget our responsibilities to this new trend.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How can I install a Java application on this phone?
Search the internet for Java files that have the extension .jar (these are executable Java files). Not all of them will work. Some are especially for Nokia or other brand phones. Transfer it to your phone’s microSD card as you would normally transfer a file. From the FILE icon, locate your file and select it. Java will take over and ask you if you want to install it. Agree and the application will be installed for you. Enjoy!
Does the phone come with a contract?
This phone is contract-free and fully unlocked so it can work with any GSM service provider you choose.
Does the M83 come with an analog TV tuner?
Yes, watch TV and be happy with The Direcktor wifi phone.
Is this phone like the iPhone?
No, this phone is better than the iPhone! Unlike the iPhone, the M83 comes fully unlocked and ready for use with any network or carrier straight out of the box. You do not need to use any firmware hacks and risk “bricking” the phone. The M83 also has dual SIM and video recording functionality (unlike the iPhone).
Is this phone like the Chinese HiPhone, APhone, or SciPhone?
No, this is better than all of them. Unlike with other Chinese touchscreen phones, the M83 comes with a full 12-month warranty from Chinavasion along with a professional in-house customer support service. You can also be secure in the knowledge that your M83 has gone through rigorous QC testing before it is shipped direct to you.
This phone has an accelerometer, what exactly is that?
This is a built-in motion sensor that tracks when the electronic device has been tilted or swiveled. It is a feature most commonly used to change images in a photo viewer or to change tracks in an audio player.
How long should I charge the battery before first use?
Before you use the battery for the first time, please charge it for 12 hours.
Should I load MP3′s or WAV music files into my phone to listen to?
It’s a trade off really. With MP3′s, you get lower audio quality, but because of its small file size you can fit more into memory. With WAV files, you get CD quality music, but on average, one WAV file is equivalent in size to ten MP3 files.
Great to hear that the phone comes with 2 batteries. What if I need more batteries, what should I do?
Simply contact our customer support department to order replacement accessories. Easy peasy.
How many contacts, can the phone hold?
The phone itself has the capacity to hold 800 contacts. SIM cards usually hold 250 contacts. Since this phone can hold two SIM cards, altogether you are looking at 1,300 contacts. That’s a lot of friends!
Can I change the ringtone with this phone?
Definitely. The phone provides for many preset ringtones. Wonderful classics like the Pachelbel Canon and music from Nintendo’s Mario Kart video game series, You can also load your own MP3s to act as ringtones or use the phone’s sound recorder to record your own voice or sounds as a ringtone.
I heard somewhere that I can record phone conversations with this phone. How do I do that?
When a calls come in, you will be presented with an option box. Press that key and a menu will appear. One of the items on the menu will allow you bring up the sound recorder to tape the entire conversation as a sound file for playblack at anytime.
How do I change my ring tone?
Tone volume and set up is found by pressing PROFILE icon and not the SETTINGS icon. Once in profile, select GENERAL and then CUSTOMIZE. You will be given the opportunity to change ringing options.
What is Dual Standby and does The Direktor phone have it?
A phone which is designed to work with 2 Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) are called Dual SIM phones. Of these Dual SIM phones, the ones which allow both SIMs to be active at the same time so you can receive calls on both are called Dual Standby phones. Yes, the CVFD-M83 is a dual SIM, dual standby phone.
How does the built-in answering machine work?From the main menu, select the ANSWER icon. You will be taken to another menu that will allow you adjust settings like how long before the answering machine picks up the call and how long your caller’s message should be. When an actual call comes through, the answering machine will save your calls to the memory card and you can review them at anytime.
I hear that the phone has “In Call Background Noise”. What is that? As far as sound effects go, if you use this feature – you decide what background noise your caller hears when they’re talking to you. You can set the background noise so your caller thinks you’re in a restaurant, in the subway or a host of other settings. Perfect for the devious in all of us.
How can I change the placement of my icons in the main menu? There may be certain icons you want closer to the first page, in which case The Direktor phone was designed to allow you to move the icons about just like you would do on your computer desktop. Simply place your finger or pen stylus on any icon for more than 3 seconds and all the icons will start shaking. This indicates you are in icon moving mode. Locate the icon you want to move and place your finger or pen stylus on it for more than 3 seconds. It will increase in size indicating that you can move it. Just drag it to the new location. When you’re done moving icons, press the black select button at the center of your phone to exit icon moving mode.
How do I setup a wake up alarm?
Click on the CLOCK icon. You will have the ability to setup 6 different alarms depending on frequency and day(s) of the week.
You mentioned that you can setup a different ringtone for each caller on your contact list, how do I do that?
It’s really easy. Simply press the CONTACTS icon on the bottom of your screen and select “caller ringtone”. After choosing the ringtone, you’ll be prompted to associate it with a particular contact in your phonebook.
I need to know something really important which no one ever talks about. How does the phone feel in your hand?
Solid is the best word we can think of to describe the tactile sensation of holding The Direktor in your hand. As cellphone aficionados, we test our fair share of phones for professional and personal reasons. For us, cellphones that have in the past provided exceptional feel in your hand quality has been any of the Nokia N series especially the N95. Going farther back, the Siemens S40 felt great to hold as well. We’re not big fans on the iPhone though because it’s too wide and too thin for our tastes. It feels like you are holding a calculator in your hands not a mobile phone! The Direktor CVFD-M83 on the other hand is the epitome of a touchscreen phone in a candy bar form factor. It’s narrower than the iPhone, but just slightly thicker to give you the impression you’re holding something solid in your hand. Of course, the fact that it’s well built accounts for that too. But the smooth black face and the rounded chrome corners lends itself to a phone that’s as well-designed aesthetically and tactilely, as it operates superbly.
At the bottom of the screen there are four main icons: phone, contacts, opera, and music player? Is there any way I can change those or are they permanent?
Yes, the four short cut icons can be changed. Simply press and hold one of the icons in the main area and the entire icon set will vibrate. Next select the icon you want to become a shortcut and it will increase in size. This shows it can be moved. Then simply drag it into the shortcut icon area and it will replace the one you dropped it on.
When I am entering the name of a new contact in my phonebook, what is the maximum number of characters I can use?
You can enter a name that is 14 characters long.
Where are the accelerometer settings for image rotate?
Image rotation is achieved by viewing a photo and touching the screen. A rotation icon appears that allows you to switch from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa.
I understand that I can input text in many different languages, but what about displaying websites in different languages aside from English?
When you go into the Java menu you’ll have the option of using different language versions of the Opera mini browser so you can view different country websites. The different web browser versions are: Chinese, English, Brazilian, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Indonesian, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
Is there a Twitter client for this phone?
We were able to install Twim for mobiles on The Direktor which will allow you to send tweets to your Twitter account. For more information about Twim, please google “Twim”.
I’ve noticed that in general Chinese phones don’t come with sync-ing or contact software. What do I do?
In this case, consider getting a SIM card reader for reading and writing your contacts to your phone with ease. Furthermore, we’ve figured a way to hack the phone so you can update the TASKS too. In this case, create a vcalendar file using notepad and save it as whatever name you choose, but it must have the extension .vcs
The format for the file is:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VTODO
DUE:20091015T160000Z
SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE;CHARSET=UTF-8:Type your message here!!!
CATEGORIES:Date
STATUS:0
PRIORITY:0
END:VTODO
END:VCALENDAR

The message can be changed from the line which begins SUMMARY. As for the other parameters, we’ll let you figure that out. Then move the transfer the file to your phone with your USB cable.
What kind of operating system does this phone use?
It’s called Nucleus RTOS.
Why is my fully charged battery being used up so quickly?
This isn’t a problem with just this phone or Chinese phones. It’s a problem everyone is experiencing with all smartphones whether it’s a Nokia, Sony- Ericsson, iPhone, etc. Just google WIFI cellphone battery problems. We’re seeing battery power being significantly lowered across the phone spectrum by the following three functions in these types of phones: WIFI, Bluetooth, and GPS. To conserve battery power, disable WIFI, turn off BT, and disable GPS if you have it.
I’m having trouble logging onto WIFI, can you help me????
First set the correct time on your phone. The time must sync with the router time for logging to occur. Next, The Direktor phone works best with 802.11b routers. Since 802.11g routers are backwards compatible, they shouldn’t pose a problem. As for 802.11n routers, they may or may work depending on whether the n router in question works with a, b, or g routers.
How hackable is this phone?
If you like to hack things, by that we mean squeeze more functionality out of a thing than was originally intended then this phone is for you. Keep in mind that any attempts to open up the phone, flash the firmware, basically mess with it, will void the warranty. Having said that, if DIY hacking is your passion then you might find gsmhosting.com very interesting. Especially the section about Chinese models and cloned phones.

The 2nd Albay Ict Conference

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

To maximize and fast track the province of Albay’s potential and growth in Information and Communications Technology, the 2nd Albay ICT Conference was held. It was jointly organized by Albay Information and Communications Technology Association (AICTA) and Department of Trade and Industry in close coordination with the City Government of Legazpi and Embarcadero.

Representatives from the province’s different schools and universities, support institutions like the NGOs and telecommunications companies, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)/ICT-related companies, and focal persons from the national and local government agencies took part in the said event.

Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) Commissioner, Monchito Ibrahim, were among the resource speakers of the conference. Executive director of the Contact Center Association of the Philippines (CCAP), Mr. Jojo Uligan, and research director for Business Process Association of the Philippines (BPAP), Ms. Gillian Virata, also graced the event. Mr. Uligan gave a talk regarding the state of the Philippine call center industry in the midst of global financial crisis while Ms. Virata discussed about the potential of the next wave cities as business locations for the BPO sub-sector.

Next wave cities are the cities outside Metro Manila that has been identified to best support the development of the BPO industry. The CICT, the BPAP and the DTI have developed a scorecard to rate potential next-wave cities in the country.

Though Legazpi city was not able to make it to the list of newly selected next-wave cities, Ms. Gillian Virata still regard Legazpi as having great capability in attracting and hosting BPO companies. Legazpi city Mayor Noel Rosal backed this up as he discussed about what the city has to offer in terms of being the next wave city for ICT development. He highlighted the ICT potentials of the city especially with the development of Embarcadero de Legazpi. The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) declaration of Embarcadero as an IT Park Ecozone has put Legazpi City to the IT Map of the Philippines.

Mayor Rosal pointed out the key factors and steps that must be strongly implemented in order to strengthen Legazpi city’s economic performance and competitiveness in the BPO sector. These factors include; strengthening tourism as major component in attracting investors, reengineering the local infrastructure for global standards, capitalizing manpower development at the grassroots level, emphasizing a distinct brand of quality service, sustaining a strong governance model and collaboration between the public and private sector, and upholding a constant development and improvement outlook.

The event’s afternoon activities include the presentations from the region’s two major telecommunications provider followed by Embarcadero de Legazpi’s showcase of its offerings to investors and locators. The integral part of Embarcadero is its IT Park which is the new IT hub in the Bicol region. It is envisioned to attract locators in the ICT-enabled services like web development and design, content development, online marketing and many other computer-based support services.

AICTA President, Ms. Rosemarie Q. Rey also presented the issues and concerns of the local ICT stakeholders. She challenged the participants including fellow stakeholders and players to strengthen their efforts in making Legazpi city rank higher in the list of next wave cities. Ms. Rey is also the president and CEO of SLTCFI, an institution that has laid a stake in the IT-BPO industry of Legazpi City. It ties up with foreign-based firms to provide outsourced services for various ICT related business processes.

Representatives from Content Online Services Inc. (COSI) and M3 Medical Management Services Inc., which were among the first wave of ICT locators in Albay also gave their testimonials regarding their experiences operating in the province, including challenges, opportunities, and development plans.

One of the highlights of the conference was the workshop wherein the participants were divided into four groups to discuss and present the issues and concerns that need to be addressed in order for Legazpi city to be included in the top ten next wave cities. Participants were also toured around Embarcadero as the final part of the event. Embarcadero is considered to be the first world-class destination lifestyle, entertainment and information technology center in a waterfront development in the country.

For Filipinos out there: Money Orders?

Monday, June 14th, 2010

I’m applying for a service of a certain web hosting site in the US but I have no credit card. Well, I got no paypal too. So the only payment option the website has for me is money order. Question is, where can I buy these money orders here in the Philippines. I know PhilPost has, but I searched the web and may says that PhilPost’s service is slow and not safe. Does western union here has money orders? How about fedex or any bank. Just lead the way.

Why Every Business Needs A Well-Designed Website With Search Engine Optimization

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Any business, big or small, selling any product or service, needs a well-designed website with search engine optimization in order to compete in this digital age. Neglecting this very crucial marketing medium is a big mistake. Your business will be losing out while your more internet-savvy competitors gain the edge.

Some businesses may feel that they do not need a website since their products or services are not being sold online. This is a misconception. Even if you are not doing actual sales transactions online, you can market practically any product or service through a website. The internet has no borders and you can reach any target market for your business. In fact, your competitors are most probably already doing so. Can you afford to be left behind?

Internet marketing through a well-designed website with search engine optimization introduces your brand and your products or services to the world. It is better than any advertisement because it can be very comprehensive. It is also available to your audience 24 hours a day for as long as you keep it online. A well-designed website with search engine optimization attracts potential customers as well as potential investors, business partners and employees. Practically every aspect of your business can be enhanced by your online presence.

A well-designed website also adds to the credibility of a brand, whether it represents products or services. The look and content of your website should reflect the level of excellence that your company stands for. Conversely, a shabbily designed website with poorly written content will reflect badly on your company image and will erode your business credibility. This is why it is very important to get the right professional website development services in setting up your company website.

The great advantage offered by the internet is that it equalizes almost everything for both big and small businesses. The costs of putting up and maintaining a well-designed website is just as affordable for small businesses and even for start ups. In other words, any small company has the same opportunities as the biggest brands in competing for the attention of consumers.

Aside from setting up a professionally designed company website, it is also very important to keep it at the forefront of web searches in order to reach the widest possible audience, especially your target market. Consumers nowadays use the internet to search for products or services they need even before they visit brick-and-mortar stores or offices. You would want these consumers to find your website at the top of their searches. It would be useless to have the best website online if no one can find it. It is, therefore, very important to tie up your company’s professional website development efforts with excellent professional search engine optimization efforts.

You should also explore social media marketing as part of your company’s search engine marketing efforts. In this area, you must also ask for professional help. Social networks like Facebook may seem easy to use but special skills are necessary when utilizing them to promote your business website.

Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. is a Manila-based web site development company that can be your partner for your web site development and search engine marketing efforts, including search engine optimization and social media marketing. It can provide you with good web site design and effective landing pages that translate well into sales.

The Value Of Website Development For Entrepreneurs And Start-Up Businesses

Friday, March 19th, 2010

The major participation of Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. in the Philippine Business and Entrepreneurs Expo ’09 is symbolic of the importance of website development for entrepreneurs and start-up businesses.

Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. owner and Managing Director, Mr. Jhermaine O. Fernandez, was a speaker during the entire five days of the event. His talks covered the definition, types, elements and benefits of a website; how to set up a website; internet marketing including email marketing, interactive ads, search marketing, viral marketing, and online public relations; search engine optimization; social media marketing through social networking sites, blogs, microblogs, photo-sharing and video-sharing sites, social news sites, podcasts and online forums; and website building and management.

Mr. Fernandez detailed the benefits that businesses can gain from having a website.

First of all, setting up a website is one of the cheapest and most cost-effective forms of advertising and marketing. For entrepreneurs, especially for start-up businesses, cost is often a stumbling block. Even the smallest business can afford to get a website upon start-up, though.

With a website, a business immediately establishes a presence worldwide and in its own locality. If the business has a brick and mortar office or store, the website can promote this and drive visitors to it. Even if a business cannot yet afford a brick and mortar office or store, however, the website itself can take its place. Product presentations as well as transactions and sales can be done through the website.

Even better than a brick and mortar office or store, a website remains open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It knows no time zone, no holidays. Thus, it gives a business unlimited opportunities for exposure and growth in new markets, expanding the potential customer base of the business and enabling the diversification of income streams.

A website is very convenient to visit for any potential customer located anywhere in the world, providing value and satisfaction. Proper use of search engine optimization and search engine marketing makes a website even more easily accessible to its target market.

A website also has much more flexibility than print advertising, giving the business owner the ability to make immediate changes as needed. New information can be instantly communicated to existing customers and the target market.

Today, the presence of a business online through a website also adds credibility to its name. It sends the message that the business is in touch with the needs of the current market and speaks its language.

A website also provides a venue for two-way communicative marketing when it allows feedback from visitors. A well-designed feedback system can act as cost effective market research for the business, as well.

Because of the enormous impact a website can have on a business, it cannot be a hit or miss project. A start-up business has to get it right the first time in order to make a good first impression. It is, therefore, recommended that the setting up of a business website be done in consultation with experts.

Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc., a Manila-based web hosting provider offering domain name registration, provides low cost advanced web site development packages that could include advanced interactive database driven web site development, advanced portal development, heavy web based programming, web application development, content management systems, good web site design, graphic design and multimedia components including flash animation development, e-commerce site solutions including a shopping cart using osCommerce, web site maintenance and support, search engine optimization, search engine marketing and social media marketing. Its programmers and web site developers are specialists in php, mysql, JavaScript and other internet languages and tools, crafting landing pages that effectively perform for its clients. Furthermore, Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc. is a service provider for business process outsourcing (BPO).

Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines, Inc. is your One Stop Shop Internet and Contact Center Solutions Vendor for the Global Market.

Managing and making your own website

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Developing a site requires planning and knowledge on programming language or scripting language like php, the most common and most widely used by developers

today. As you can see today so many sites today are produce or publish over the internet some are helpful, some are destructive. Content  describes what the site is

all about , popular site today are what we called social networking site examples are facebook,friendster etc. where visitors can make their own profile and share

some thoughts wit their friends online 24/7. Some site contains explicit content which some of this site may destroy or infected the unit you are using with a virus.

Any way good content is what people are looking today, Take some of this guidelines for you to design and make a good content for your site

1. Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.
2. Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the

site map into separate pages.
3. Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.
4.Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.
5. Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn’t recognize text contained in images. If you must use

images for textual content, consider using the “ALT” attribute to include a few words of descriptive text.
6. Make sure that your <title> elements and ALT attributes are descriptive and accurate.
7. Check for broken links and correct HTML.
8. If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a “?” character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static

pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.
9. Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).
10. Review our image guidelines for best practices on publishing images.

Its inherited legacy – TakeCare Insurance Company 35-year experience in health insurance, clinic operations and overseas patient care facilitation – safeguards prime medical resources and services and assures positive results for all partners.

The website is an intuitive exploration into ‘Veiovis Territory’. It illustrates the reach of the Veiovis global network and the key areas of strength and expertise of each internationally accredited provider.

Visitors to the site will be pleased to discover a host of services and medical treatments offered at state-of-the-art facilities abroad, each employing highly credentialed physicians and specialists. Centers of Excellence boast modern equipment and strong research foundations, some with professional affiliations to Harvard and Stanford Medical in the United States. International offices with English-speaking staff and language translators assure ease of communication, while Veiovis Personal Case Managers manage the entire medical travel process from a local and global perspective.

Veiovis’ brand of seamless, integrated care provides superior value to patients, employers and health insurers. It facilitates safe, convenient and guaranteed travel for overseas medical care.

Outsource Your Web Design to India

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Most people still marvel at how it’s not only possible, but becoming more common to outsource web design to India. If you’re like most online entrepreneurs and business owners, you’ve got a million things that need to get done every single day. Owning just one online business can be overwhelming to the average person. You’ve got to get the website created. Then there’s the auto responder series. Then, you’ve got to get the sales copy written. You’ve also got to have enough content on the site so people will keep coming back. This needs to be updated on a regular basis.

Next, you need to be able to create products or services to sell to your web audience. You’ve also got to have a payment center set up so that you can accept credit cards and various forms of payment. Whew! These alone can give you a headache. Why not simply outsource web design and hosting?

Unless you have an eternity to get your business off the ground, you probably don’t want to do all these by yourself. You could get lost doing the small stuff to even have a viable and profitable business. Think about what an hour of your time is worth in cash value. Then from there you start to think about the time you need to spend on creating your own web site. This shift in thinking gets you to understand that outsourcing is not just a cool idea, but very necessary for the life of any major business.

Outsourcing Web Design

Unless you’re already a web designer, it’s best that you go ahead and outsource your web design and outsource projects that are related to web design. It takes time and patience to make your web design sparkle. There are many sites that offer you the opportunity to outsource web design and have special outsource web designers in India and Philippines. Their money system is different, so you get more for your US dollars than you would hiring someone Western. Many of these people are happy to work for you and often bend over backwards to make sure you are satisfied.

By using online freelance services you make it easy on yourself to keep up with all of the details that need to be handled in your business. While someone is creating your site, you can focus on marketing your business. While someone is typing your articles, you can go ahead and take a breather and reflect on the next level of your business and how you can grow it.

Outsource your projects and you’ll definitely see a rise in productivity. Productivity is the key to your business. It’s not so much the amount of hours or work, but the productivity that yields cash in your pocket. And outsourcing your web design to places like India and the Phillipines can dramaticaly improve your bottom line.

Philippine Law On Pornography

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

The Internet has broken down barriers to communicate the world over. Information can be searched as fast as you can say “Google it.” It has surpassed the library, books, television, mobile phone and radio as the number one source of Information. However, these advantages of the Internet have also made it easier to exploit children.

The anonymity and the ease of access has made it easier for sexual offenders and pedophiles to use deception and sometimes manipulation over the Internet, by befriending potential and unsuspecting children and teenagers, and luring them into dirty, sinful acts. Because of this, the exact statistics on child porn in the Internet market is either underreported or not known.

Users can hide behind a firewall, and use multiple accounts to conceal their true identity. As such, recent reports about arrests on child pornography have been quite shocking, considering that the suspects involved come from various backgrounds. For example, a priest from Canada and a college dean from California have been arrested after authorities discovered images of child porn from their computer hard drive. Not only that, but numerous arrests have also been made on clients and customers of child pornography and child abuse. These perverts are willing to pay large amounts of money just to watch web cam videos of children displaying themselves as sex objects, or of children being physically assaulted. It is also appalling that these patrons of child porn have their own families, and their own children, and they are also respected members of their own communities.

On November 17, the lawmakers in the Philippines recently signed and passed the Anti-Pornography Act, also known as Republic Act (RA) 9775. The new law will penalize anyone who takes on the act of using children, employing them and forcing them to engage or perform in sexual activities. This includes manufacturing, production and distribution, and marketing and promotion of child pornographic materials in any format, be it visual, written, digital, or optical.

The same can also be said for web hosting sites, and internet service providers. Like Cambodia and Thailand, the Philippines has been one of the number one countries known for the illegal human trafficking, especially women and children. The government has done so little to stop this abuse on basic human rights. With the passing of RA 9775, it is hoped that stricter laws and regulations will be implemented to protect the Filipinos from being victims of their own circumstances. Lexington law provides Lexington law information on the anti-pornography laws and human rights abuses.

E-Commerce Shopping Cart Function Is Free for Everyone through osCommerce Online Merchant

Monday, December 21st, 2009

E-commerce is the new way of doing business. Buying and selling is now done routinely online round the clock. The marketplace is always open, sensitive to all time zones around the world. Payment to any e-commerce site is done safely through various online solutions. Practically anyone can be a seller online, especially with osCommerce Online Merchant.

What is osCommerce Online Merchant?

osCommerce Online Merchant is a free e-commerce solution that enables online store set-up, running and maintenance for anyone, with various easy to use features including the shopping cart function. Setting it up is quick. There are no costs or fees because it is an Open Source Software covered by the GNU General Public License.

What is Open Source Software?

Open Source Software is any computer software usually developed collaboratively and in public by various parties and made available to the public for use, change or improvement. This movement began in 1983 with the GNU Project of Richard Stallman wherein the development of the free GNU operating system was begun. Eventually, the free software Linux became part of the GNU project. According to the initial announcement of Stallman, the goal has always been the development of “a sufficient body of free software [...] to get along without any software that is not free.” The GNU General Public License grants recipients of the software the unlimited right to use it or modify its source code and to redistribute both the original and the modified versions.

Open Source Software generates billions of savings for users around the world every year. Furthermore, it encourages the spirit of cooperation and collaboration for the common good. Anyone can contribute to the further improvement of the software involved, including adding more functionality for every need that arises. This challenges the imagination and skills of people.

One example of Open Source Software is osCommerce. True to the spirit of the movement, people have been contributing add-ons to osCommerce daily, further improving it and widening its uses.

What are the Requirements and Features of osCommerce?
osCommerce Online Merchant v3.0 Alpha 5 requires that the server has PHP v5.2.0+ (with MySQLi extension) and MySQL v4.1.13+ or v5.0.7+, although it is compatible with all PHP 4 versions, as well.
The osCommerce Online Merchant has the following features, among others. It accepts multiple currencies and various online payment processors. It is available by default in English, German and Spanish, supporting unlimited types, categories and numbers of products, whether physical or downloadable. The database can be easily backed up and restored, with statistics generated. Customers are able to see their order status and order history, and can post reviews. The store owner can send customers emails or newsletters. Invoices and packing lists can be printed out. The software also has tax and shipping functionalities.
A good web site developer will take advantage of open source solutions to give you maximum savings. Thus, osCommerce is used by Web Dot Com Website Development Philippines Inc., a Manila-based BPO company that provides low cost advanced web site development packages, including e-commerce site solutions, to clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Korea, the British Virgin Islands and the Philippines.

False Advertising of Essay Writing Websites: A Case of the Insatiable Avarice for Profit at the Expense of the Consumers and Established Businesses
