Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a W3C standard mark-up language for defining the appearance of web pages. The use of CSS allows developers to fully separate the content of the page from its presentation, speeding up the development process and also making the pages load more quickly in the browser. Whereas 20th century websites typically used tables to construct web pages and position elements, CSS now provides a cleaner and more efficient way of controlling all aspects of web page layout.

A lot of people think that long copy is dead, that it doesn’t work anymore, that it’s old-school, that nobody reads it, that you don’t need to use it, that it’s not even effective anymore. Long copy sales letters are, in fact.not dead. Their death has been greatly exaggerated.

One of my most popular CDs, entitled Small Businesses That Kids Can Start, teaches kids practical entrepreneurial skills. Other CDs teach customers how to turn a recording into a product, and how to make a profit on eBay.

You’ve been slapped with a bad credit rating. Is it the end of the world? Not at all.

People obtain bad credit ratings for many reasons, and in half of the cases, it’s not their fault. For example, you could get a bad credit score simply because someone in the credit bureau made an error in entering the data. Or someone with the same name as yours defaulted on a loan and then registered that default under your name.
