Copywriting

Website Copywriting A good copywriter knows which words trigger the feelings that compel people to make decisions. They write with flair, making it easy for people to be drawn into what they are saying about your business, services or products - see professional copywriting, and an example of good copywriting for a Mercedes Dealer.

News and Article index page If you use a wireless network at work or home, and it is not secure (ie, uses a password to gain access to the network), then you run the risk of your network connection being hijacked and used for who-knows-what purpose, either legal, or even worse, illegal! Your actual system/computer itself may also be vulnerable to infiltration.

Wireless Network Security For example, the large TJX company in the United States left their network open (Google "TJX wireless"), and 45 million customers had their details stolen via the unsecured network.

Securing your wireless network is such a simple thing to do, yet many choose not to - or simply don't know how to.

Even government organisations can be negligent in this area - and you know what that means? That's right - our private details could be stolen by some kid in the right place with a $700 laptop!

Do yourself a favour - check your wireless connection settings, and make sure you have a password setup to prevent unauthorised access (Google: "password wireless connection").

Here is a personal example. My home theatre system is run by computer that has a wireless Network connection. When I check for available connections in my area, I usually get about five results (including my own) - THREE of the five are open, unencrypted networks, or in other words, I could simply log onto their network and use their connection to surf the 'Net, download files, or anything I want.

Would you leave your home unlocked?

Lock your wireless Internet connection NOW!
