Mozilla is a free Web browser that offers more features than Internet Explorer 6. At core of Mozilla is Gecko, a fast, reliable, open-source standards-based page rendering engine. You can have confidence in Mozilla because it adheres strictly to World Wide Web Consortium standards. Download Mozilla from http://mozilla.org

To install Mozilla, execute self-extracting setup program, mozilla-win32-1.1-installer.exe. The setup program provides option to set up Quick Launch, which makes Mozilla start faster by keeping portions of program in computers memory. The seup program also provides option to set Mozilla as your default browser.

=> Linux

Mozilla is fully certified to run on Red Hat Linux. First log in as root and create a directory named Mozilla. Download file: mozilla-1686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz from http://mozilla.org to your Mozilla directory. Then open a terminal window and change to Mozilla directory.

The downloaded file has a .tar.gz extension. The .tar part of extension indicates that it is an archive. The .gz part of file indicates that it is compressed. To decompress archive type following command.

tar zxvf moz*.tar.gz

A directory named mozilla-installer will be created in Mozilla directory. Change to mozilla-installer directory and type in following command.

./mozilla-installer

The Install Wizard will appear. Follow instructions in Install Wizard.

To start Mozilla change to directory where you installed it (/usr/local/mozilla by default) and run ./mozilla command.

A Search Engine is first place someone on Internet goes to look for...anything. So how do you get listed in Search Engines? First, ask yourself what YOU would type in a browser to find YOUR website. Do you have an online gift shop? What do you sell in it? Use those words AND phrases as your keywords.

Got them ready? Good. Now, what do you do with them? You use them - in your website description, page title(s) and meta tags.

Your what? Meta Tags. These keywords are placed within HTML Code of your web pages. Slow Down! HTML Code? HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language, to be specific) is code that makes "pieces" of your site (graphics, text and/or links) show up where you want them to on your web page.

Once you (or your website designer) have keywords in place, you can "submit" your site to search engines. You CAN use a submission service to quickly add your URL, but...you don't know for sure if it's been added unless you do it yourself.

Each Search Engine has it's own specific rules for submission. Be sure you read their policies thoroughly because they change often.
