Written by Mike Servis

I'm part of a new breed of humanity. This breed is never content with the "comfort zone". We spend a good portion of every single day learning, experiencing new things, pushing our own envelope.

It was only a short time ago when Mosaic and Netscape, came out with what they called a graphical browser. They didn't know it back then, but they created a new tool that would change the world in many ways. Personally, I believe that we've only seen the tip of the iceberg as far as the Internet and its effect on the Global market is concerned.

I'm proud to be a part of this techno-evolution, as it grows and changes at a phenomenal rate. Working as a Webmaster, is not only an artistic outlet, but living on the bleeding edge of technology makes one feel truly alive.

This is my life! This is what I do! And I love what I do! For information on all available services, and to answer questions you may have.

You must be at least semi-familiar with the Internet or you wouldn't be here reading this right now. I'd even go so far as to say, you probably have your own Internet Service Provider (ISP). The place that you call to hook yourself to the Internet. The first step to Building your own Web site is finding a suitable home for it. Many ISP's today offer free Web space along with your monthly bill, or for a small amount extra. My first advice would be to check with them and find out if they would be a suitable place for your website. Most people are more comfortable talking with someone they are already dealing with and much of the time this is the best and easiest way to go.

Often, people will want their own Domain name: like www.lakeshastina.com or mslpublishing.com. From an advertising/business point of view this is an excellent idea. Web marketing experts often claim, this is the most important single thing you can do to increase web traffic to your site. It not only adds credibility to your company, but is easily implemented with your other forms of advertising.Your own ISP can often handle this for you also. Most of the time for a nominal monthly fee.

I stress working together to build your web site. It's not only much cheaper for you and easier for me, but it will give you an active part in the building of your web site. My idea of building web sites, makes you the author. I'm just an employee with a design and desktop publishing background, to do the html work. Most of the time you are the ones that know about your product and what you would like to say about it. I'm the guy that'll make it look professional on the Web! This first step of building your web page (finding a home) can be accomplished almost totally by you without too much effort.

Mozilla CEO: No worries about Google Chrome

Mozilla CEO John Lilly said he has no worries about Google jumping into the open source browser market.

In a blog posted on September 1 before the beta release of Google’s Chrome yesterday, Lilly noted that Mozilla’s Firefox has plenty of competition and reminded the public that the foundation’s primary motive is to keep the web open.

“As much as anything else, it’ll mean there’s another interesting browser that users can choose. With IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc — there’s been competition for a while now, and this increases that. So it means that more than ever, we need to build software that people care about and love. Firefox is good now, and will keep on getting better,” Lilly wrote. “Competition often results in innovation of one sort or another — in the browser you can see that this is true in spades this year, with huge Javascript performance increases, security process advances, and user interface breakthroughs. I’d expect that to continue now that Google has thrown their hat in the ring.”

Lilly also said the two organizations will continue to cooperate and hinted that Mozilla will remain independent.

“It should come as no real surprise that Google has done something here — their business is the web, and they’ve got clear opinions on how things should be, and smart people thinking about how to make things better. Chrome will be a browser optimized for the things that they see as important, and it’ll be interesting to see how it evolves,” he wrote.

Google announced the beta release of Chrome as Mozilla prepares to freeze the beta 1 code for Firefox 3.1 on September 30 and as Microsoft IE8 beta slips into the marketplace.

Lilly’s blog continued:

“Mozilla and Google have always been different organizations, with different missions, reasons for existing, and ways of doing things. I think both organizations have done much over the last few years to improve and open the Web, and we’ve had very good collaborations that include the technical, product, and financial. On the technical side of things, we’ve collaborated most recently on Breakpad, the system we use for crash reports — stuff like that will continue. On the product front, we’ve worked with them to implement best-in-class anti-phishing and anti-malware that we’ve built into Firefox, and looks like they’re building into Chrome. On the financial front, as has been reported lately, we’ve just renewed our economic arrangement with them through November 2011, which means a lot for our ability to continue to invest in Firefox and in new things like mobile and services.

“So all those aligned efforts should continue,” he insisted. “And similarly, the parts where we’re different, with different missions, will continue to be separate. Mozilla’s mission is to keep the Web open and participatory — so, uniquely in this market, we’re a public-benefit, non-profit group (Mozilla Corporation is wholly owned by the Mozilla Foundation) with no other agenda or profit motive at all. We’ll continue to be that way, we’ll continue to develop our products & technology in an open, community-based, collaborative way.”

Mozilla’s Firefox will continue to be competitive, he said.

“With that backdrop, it’ll be interesting to see what happens over the coming months and years,” Lilly said.
