DANIMA Tech Tips:
|
|
|
Backing up the Windows Registry
The Windows registry is a very important part of your operating system and most times, should
be left alone. However, sometimes our curiousity gets the best of us, or someone gives us a tip
on how to improve our computer and suggests editing a file in the Windows registry. If you are not
sure of what you are doing, you should stay away from the registry, however if you really have to, then
back up the registry to a safe spot before you make any changes, so that if something goes
drastically wrong, you can simply restore the original registry.
Here's how to create a backup:
Click Start, Run and type in regedit. On the next screen, click File
and then Export.
Pick a location to export the file to and select a name for the file and click Save.
To restore the registry:
Click Start, Run and type in regedit. Click on File, Import and
browse to the location of your previously saved file and click Save.
Your tampered Registry will be replaced with the one you backed up earlier.
Until next time, some parting advice - Never click a link in an email from someone you don't know.
You could end up with your browser being hijacked, continuous popups, spyware and/or adware
installed (yes, it can happen without you knowing). Computer foul-ups are easier to prevent
than remove. If you don't know how, email me at
techtips@danima.com.

:: ADVENTURES IN MUSIC NEW SITE
|
|
A few months ago an eager young entrepreneur and talented musician, Cody Palmer-Almond approached DANIMA to build a web site for his new business. The result is Adventures In Music's new web site - www.adventuresinmusic.com.
With only a few finishing touches still to be made and some additional content to be added, Adventures in Music opened their E-doors to the public on October 27, 2004. With company information, artist profiles, upcoming dates, and more, Cody's new web presence will definitely assist in the marketing of his new company and of the artists working within the company.
Take a minute and visit this great new web site at www.adventuresinmusic.com.

Over the last several months DANIMA has worked closely with Terry Kadwell and owner Mary Ann Lesperance of Marshall & Company to add various new features to their web site. The need to change content within the site whenever it was required was one of their main concerns.
Thanks to a new product that DANIMA is now offering their clients - EZ Editor (developed by our friends at KriosTech) - updating your web site has never been easier. EZ Editor is a Content Management System that allows your company to update your web site in an easy-to-use, Microsoft Word-like environment. With very little training required, Marshall and Company are now able to update their web site quickly and easily in a password protected administration area.

:: BitNet Niagara Web Site
|
|
As a member of the BitNet Niagara Board of Directors, DANIMA assisted BitNet with the new design of their web site. The design was then taken by the talented folks at Inline Internet Systems, Inc. who fully developed the front and back-end of the site (with assistance on the front end by Magdalena Woszczyna from BitNet Niagara). The site is powered by iHTML. The result is an informative and interactive web site that draws professional IT workers together and assists in the networking of businesses in the community with the IT professionals.
Business Information Technology Network Niagara (BitNet Niagara) is an association of businesses, educators, individuals and the public sector, in Niagara. It's the place to come for intelligent discussions, networking with peers, and events designed for the IT community. BitNet's programs include regular Breakfast Speakers' events.

:: MONTHLY MARKETING ARTICLE

Working On, Not Just In Your Business!
-- by Dave Rotella
Recently, my partner Nick and I visited with a business consulting firm, Outside The Box Consulting to assist us in focusing on the direction of our business. In a very informative half-day session (with more to come), we both learned quite a bit about our business and what we need to do to reach the goals that we have set for DANIMA. This included everything from paying closer attention to our ROTI (Return On Time Invested) to re-visiting our business' long-term goals. The one point that was made early on in the session was that as a business owner in order for your business to grow and to be successful you should be spending 20% of your time working on, not in your business. Probably one of the hardest things for an entrepreneur to do is to break away from doing the hands on work and getting the job done (it still is for me). However, if we don't take the time to work on growing our business and our visions we will work ourselves to a poor and early grave.
So, how does this apply to E-business? Well, when people work on their business they tend to forget that a big part of their business in today's Net Economy is their web presence. Again, I am not saying that you should be actually working on the site yourself. What I'm referring to is taking the time to re-visit the goal of your site. Is it meeting the needs of the business? Is it outdated? Are people visiting your site (utilize and analyze your web site stats - if you don't have them, get them). If so, are you giving them reason to come back to your site? These are just a few questions you may ask yourself when you are working on your business.
