Host:How do I start investing?

David John Marotta: There are many discount brokers and custodians that will provide you with an investment account and they are not salesman of a particular set of investments, but instead they will simply provide the services that of the you can buy other investments. So, opening account is as easy as some of them are online, some of them are discount brokers that you can walk into an office and you can open an account for usually very little money, a $100 or something like that.

    How to Build a Website

    In this video, professional web developer Kevin Frey, of TransEffect LLC, goes over the basics of creating a simple web page using a "What you see is what you get" editor (in this case, Adobe DreamWeaver). The video is tailored to beginners who have limited knowledge of the principles behind web site design and development. The segments cover everything from registering a domain name to getting started with HTML and CSS. Also covered are page templates, blogs, and some general tips for making your site better. There's even a segment dedicated to some of the terms you should be familiar with as a web designer/developer, as well as some advice on where to find more information, for anyone who wishes to master some more advanced techniques. Due to the fact that this is a video for beginners, it does not extensively cover some items that were considered better suited to people with a more advanced web design/development skillset, such as the difference between HTML and XHTML, designing the look and feel of a site in programs like Adobe Photshop or Fireworks, and why it's so important to separate presentation from content.
