Anyone who is uses computers today will be familiar with Windows and Linux as operating systems.
Some prefer Windows because it is extremely easy to use – both hardware and software –
and some prefer Linux because it is much more flexible in use; above all it is open source ware
and hence it is free. Those who enjoy Linux are totally baffled as to why people would want to
pay for something that you can get absolutely free. In the Web Hosting World 80% of Servers that
host peoples websites are powered by a Linux operating system of some form.

People who host on Windows Servers are typically running applications, or prefer some key features only
available on the windows platoform such as ASP.net, or being they are working with databases such as
MS-SQL.

Although, at Rebel Networks, we feel Windows is more of a challenge to administer and support over
Linux Servers we do support both.  So we leave the choice to the customer!

Search engine optimization is the process of achieving top rankings in the search engines for a website’s most relevant search terms. The most relevant search terms are the phrases that people are most likely to type into a search engine when looking for what the website has to offer. These are the search terms that it is essential to rank highly for, and these are the search terms that search engine optimization targets.

The first step is to choose the most suitable search terms for your site. Then allocate one or two of them to each suitable page within the site. One search term per page is preferable, but two per page is not so bad. Sometimes it is useful to split a large page, that covers several closely related topics or several aspects of a topic, into two or more smaller pages so that a different search term can be targeted on each of them. Matching search terms to a page’s content is essential.

Organize your navigation according to the importance of your keyword phrases. If you break your site into many pages, link to the most important pages from every page of your site, and link to the other pages from section header pages and the site map.

Establish your site by submitting to the major directories, The Open Directory and the Yahoo! Directory, then build your link popularity by submitting to web directories and search engines, and requesting links from related websites.

Be patient. A search engine optimization project can take time. Search Engine optimization requires several steps. You can go to http://www.rebelnetworks.com/search_engine_optimization.php to learn the major requirements of improving your site to the search engines.

I normally don’t vent about politics on my blog, however i feel the urge to let something out. In Canada, our prime minister is elected by a vote of the people. If he gains a majority he runs the country for 4 years, and if not the opposition can vote him down and go to an election. To have the opposition party think they hand pick a new prime minister and remove the current one is not to our way of life, our freedom, our values. We hope the the 45 days or so we can let the government resume, and if the opposition parties are not happy with the budget, then let them vote down the government and bring it to the people to vote in an election.

the story unfolds

Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean has granted a request from Stephen Harper to suspend Parliament, the Prime Minister’s Office told CBC News, a move that avoids a confidence vote set for Monday that could have toppled his minority government.

The announcement on Thursday comes after a two-hour meeting with Jean at Rideau Hall in which Harper asked her to prorogue, or suspend, the current parliamentary session until the end of January, when the Tories plan to table a budget.

A no-confidence vote could have precipitated the rise of a Liberal-NDP coalition. If the Governor General had refused the prime minister’s request, she could have called an election had the Conservatives lost the no-confidence vote. Or she could have allowed the proposed Liberal-NDP coalition to govern if the no-confidence vote was successful.

But the decision to suspend Parliament only gives the Tories a reprieve until late January, when they plan to table a budget that could set them up for a no-confidence vote.

Harper waved to onlookers after his limousine arrived at Rideau Hall at 9:30 a.m ET Thursday. He was greeted by about 40 chanting supporters, including Conservative staffers. A single anti-Harper demonstrator stood waving a sign reading “Harper Must Go.”

Harper has pledged to use “every legal means” to prevent a Liberal-NDP coalition government, backed by the Bloc Québécois, from taking power.
