Home PC Firewall Guide Website Updates

Webmaster 101: Our updated how-to guide for beginning webmasters including security tips.
Secure Email Service Providers: Our provider went out of business so we did research to find a replacement. It went just like our research on secure hosting. Email service providers with online spam and virus filters plus other advanced features like IMAP are difficult to find.
Advertising: We have replaced the pop-under ad on our homepage with a Google Adsense ad in the right hand column of each page. Adsense is less intrusive for our visitors and still helps to pay for the overhead costs of our free guide.
