Tip of the Week
Do you have a submission email for sign-ups? So you can see the data by email? Do you require the people to send it in an email to you? Skip this!
PHP, a popular programming language, allows you to send emails directly from the script, as you may know. You should create a form with PHP that has the script to send you the email with the submission data. For example, if you want your visitors to sign up for a contest, all you have to do it make the script send an email to your submission email with the details of the data entered.
If you don't know how to do this yet in PHP or if you don't know any PHP, you can study it on many different sources. For simple tutorials, go to www.w3schools.com/php or to the PHP manual.

Tip of the Day
Want to put your email address on a webpage but don't want to get spammed?
Right now, a lot of people are avoiding those terrible robots that come and look for email addresses posted on websites. They find that address and then the address will get emailed and emailed... email that is unwanted. Even worse, some spammers find ways to email someone's contacts, and then they get spammed, too! Newsletters have been spammed. Overall, millions of email addresses have been spammed.
Now a lot of people put up their email addresses "disguised". To disguise an email address, simple don't write your actual email address in text on the page! For example, say you have an email address, and you say it like this: "newsletter at example dot com" then you should write it on your web page as:
newsletter(at)example.com
newsletter AT example DOT com
newsletter(at)example(dot)com
There are many other ways of writing an email address "safely" on a webpage. One good way is to use an image. You create the image on an image editor and then place it on your site if you wish.
Just a tip. And it should be VERY useful.
