The OpenDNS Solution   
			May 12, 2008 | Filed Under Internet  | Comment  

Your internet connection sucked ?! Don’t get stuck, go for OpenDNS !  

What is DNS ? 

DNS - stands for Domain Name System, a service or a system that translates hostnames to IP addresses. (ex. www.google.com translates to 208.67.216.230) 

DNS can be compared to a phonebook. When you like to call your local dairy man Matt, you have to locate his number. DNS works the same way bylooking up a machine’s IP address using the machine name. 

Aside from spywares and adwares, DNS server congestion is often the cause of slow website loading time. Browsing problems occur when Internet Service Provider (ISP) 		  DNS server does not resolve the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) addresses. And all you have in your screen is a vague information why you can’t go to your favorite sites. Also, DNS servers located several hops away could cause unnerving and teeth-grinding website loading time.

Why the need for OpenDNS  ? 

Faster web browsing because of reliable network  Safer browsing because of :   Content Filtering  Adult Site Blocking  Domain Blocking  Domain Whitelist - lets you list domains that will never be blocked regardless of any filtering categories you have turned on in the opendns panel.  Phishing Protection 
  Customization  Statistics - provides graphical information about your networks’ activities.  Absolutely Free  

How to change the DNS Server  1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 
2. Click Network Connections. 
3. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties. 
4. Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties. 
5. Click Use the Following DNS server Addresses. 
6. Type in the OpenDNS addresses (shown in the image above) for Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server, and then click OK.

Disclosure Policy Generator  

May 10, 2008 | Filed Under Blogging Tools  | Comment  

I found a really useful tool for bloggers : a disclosure policy generator .       Disclosurepolicy.org  offers a generator for a disclosure policy that can be used freely in your own blogsite. This generator provides a 6-step process in producing a disclosure policy. 
You will be presented with 5 questions and you have to choose an option that best describes your blog.The generator would ask you questions about:

Type of Blog - the kind of blog that you have  Compensation - if your site accepts compensation or not  Advertising and Content - whether you blog is influenced by advertising and etc.  Compensation - If your blog’s opinion is influenced by compensation  Conflicts of Interest - whether your blog is influenced by any affiliations  Policy - this is the part where you can view the generated disclosure policy 

After you have answered the 5th question, you can view the generated Policy Disclosure by clicking “Finish” button. All you have to do is copy the generated disclosure to your blog and you’re good to go. How you present that disclosure in your blogsite is up to you. You can make it as one of your site’s primary link (like what I did here in my blog.. see the Disclosure Policy at the top of the page) or you can make it as a text link in your website’s footer as suggested by Disclosurepolicy.org  .

Disclosurepolicy.org  also offers “ badges ” (image) that you can use to link back to their website. Two of the “ badges ” are shown here.

The generated disclosure policy can also be modified. According to Disclosurepolicy.org  :

“This generator is designed to provide you with a structure for creating a disclosure policy. Feel free to add, modify and delete text to serve your own purposes.”

Great stuff !
