But it’s quite confusing for an oldie like me to work out how to do that, so I thought I’d write a tutorial.

1. Insert CD into CD/DVD drive

2.  An audio CD dialogue box will appear. Select the music files you want to transfer.

3. Open Real Player. There are other music players, but I use Real Player.

4. Click on CD/DVD on the left panel of Real Player.

5. Go to Tools> CD and Save CD tracks. A dialogue box will appear, but just click OK to that.

6. Insert MP3 Player into USB port.

7. Select music files you want to transfer to portable device.

8. Click on Removable Disk on left panel of Real PLayer and select Add selected clips.

9. Eject CD after music is saved. Note where it is saved.

I’m sure I’ve made a mistake here because every time I check the process, something changes. But you get the idea at least.

Google’s Maile Ohye said recently;

“One of the strongest ranking factors is my site’s content. Additionally, perhaps my site is also linked from three sources — however, one inbound link is from a spammy site. As far as Google is concerned, we want only the two quality inbound links to contribute to the PageRank signal in our ranking.”

“Given the user’s query, over 200 signals (including the analysis of the site’s content and inbound links as mentioned above) are applied to return the most relevant results to the user.”

“As many of you know, relevant, quality inbound links can affect your PageRank (one of many factors in our ranking algorithm). And quality links often come naturally to sites with compelling content or offering a unique service.”

He also said;

• Start a blog: make videos, do original research, and post interesting stuff on a regular basis. If you’re passionate about your site’s topic, there are lots of great avenues to engage more users.
• Teach readers new things, uncover new news, be entertaining or insightful, show your expertise, interview different personalities in your industry and highlight their interesting side. Make your site worthwhile.
• Participate thoughtfully in blogs and user reviews related to your topic of interest. Offer your knowledgeable perspective to the community.
• Provide a useful product or service. If visitors to your site get value from what you provide, they’re more likely to link to you.

Visitors can stumble on to a 404 page for many reasons including:

• The URL they are entering has been miss spelt.

• They have followed an old link to content that has been moved or deleted.

• The link they are following has been truncated in an email message etc.

When visitors land on these pages, it’s very likely that many of them may just leave because they can’t be bothered searching through your website to find the correct URL. To combat this, instead of returning a “File not found” error page, try using Google’s “Enhance 404 pages” tool to create a much more useful 404 error page.

The first step is to configure your web server to display your new 404 page. This is usually quite simple but varies for each hosting setup, so please check your server or web host documentation on how to do this.

Once this has been done, visit the “Enhance 404 pages” section in Webmaster tools and copy and paste a javascript snippet into your page. Because this page is designed in HTML, you can also customize the look of the page to match your sites overall design.

Google says the feature is currently experimental and they will work on improving it in the meantime.

I have just come across another great little free application which will convert your HTML files into an exe ebook.

Here is what the creator says about this product.

WebSiteZip Packer - free and easy-to-use application which will help you to turn a single HTML page or a group of pages into a solid executable file (.exe) with an integrated HTML browser. Ideal for e-books, product catalogs, site demos, manuals, and searchable information distribution.

After using our WebSiteZip Packer you can conveniently transport your HTML page or a complete web site as a single file embodying all necessary components (graphics, sounds, linked pages, etc.) and present it successfully independently of the type of HTML browser installed at the destination computer.

These are possible uses of WebSiteZip Packer:

*Use it to produce and distribute e-books;

*Let the visitors of your web site download the identical exe-version of the site for offline work;

* Create convenient offline presentations and catalogs;

*Create guides and manuals for your software products;

*Use it for any purpose where you need a solid executable file with an integrated HTML browser instead of piles of separate files and folders which are usual attributes of HTML pages.
