Our on-air guest today is Steve Narducci with NDWave.

NDWave is a local company right here in Anderson, IN.  They provide internet access.  They have a HUGE coverage area.  If you can’t get cable or DSL (or even if you can and you want to switch to a local company!), call them at 649-5552 or visit www.ndwave.com.

From our friends at FoxNews.com:

One of the few remaining Internet-free havens vanished Wednesday as American Airlines launched airborne e-mail, Web and other online services on some of its longer, nonstop flights.

The move could create a new stream of revenue for an aviation industry facing high fuel prices and other challenges. But it also could create new headaches as passengers retrieve sensitive e-mails and Web sites in confined quarters.

It also could end a common excuse people have to avoid checking “urgent” e-mail requests from their bosses. Unread magazines and books could now pile up as passengers devote their time aloft to electronic browsing.

American, a unit of AMR Corp., tested in-flight access on two flights on June 25. With Wednesday’s launch, the airline is making service available for $12.95 per flight on its 15 Boeing 767-200 planes connecting New York with Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami.

Woo Hoo!!

Surfing while flying goods good to me!  $12.95 doesn’t sound like a bad deal to me either.  This is a great move and I hope it expands soon!

We are talking about websites. In the last segment I told you we were going to talk about the code or what I call “The Man Behind the Curtain”.

At the core of every website is a little something called HTML. HTML stands for Hyper-Text Markup Language. If you want to see what HTML looks like, open up Internet Explorer or Firefox and open up a website, any site, right click on the page and choose “View Source”. The window that opens up is the HTML that drives the page.

Unless you are very familiar with HTML, I recommend hiring a professional to design your website. There are many reasons for this, including:

• A professional can make sure that your site will look great no matter what operating system or browser your visitor is using. This can be a difficult task sometimes!
• A professional can make sure your site is accessible to those with disabilities.
• A professional knows “tricks of the trade” that may not be apparent to the average computer user like picking good fonts, choosing colors properly, and using the best techniques for getting the proper behavior out of the site.
• A professional will know what to do in case of a server or DNS problem with the site.
