How to Apply for a Macy's Credit Card

2012-02-26T03:44:00.000-08:00

Macy's is one of the most well-known department store brands in the world. As is the case with many large department stores, Macy's offers its customers the ability to apply for a Macy's credit card. Macy's credit card holders receive special offers on a regular basis including extra discount days for themselves as well as a friend, invitations to special events and more. You can apply for a Macy's credit card online, by telephone or in person at your local Macy's store.

Open your web browser and go to the Macy's online credit application website. Once at the site, verify that the address begins with https://. This will ensure that you are using an encrypted connection to submit your personal data.

Enter your personal information as well as the requested data to verify your identification. The verification is included as an extra step to prevent an individual from applying for credit in your name.

Read the Terms and Conditions completely. It is important to read this section thoroughly, as it contains important information about your Macy's credit card account.

Place a check in the box confirming that you have read and accept the Terms and Conditions and then click on the "Submit" button. After a short time, the results of your Macy's online credit application will be displayed on the screen.

As an alternative, visit any checkout counter at your local Macy's store to apply for a credit card. This is the way to go if you are uncomfortable submitting personal information over the Internet.

Inform the Macy's clerk that you would like to submit an application for a Macy's credit card. The clerk will provide you with an application to complete.

Return your completed Macy's credit card application along with your driver's license (or other form of picture identification) to the clerk who will then process your application. It will take just a few minutes to complete the Macy's credit card application process and the credit decision should be available instantly.

Buying Stocks for Beginners

2012-02-13T08:58:00.000-08:00

Investing in the stock market and buying stocks can generate income and help you prepare for the future. Even beginner investors can learn how to buy stocks, without the help of a professional stock market broker.

Determine your investment goals. Are you looking for a long-term investment or will you need access to your money in a few months? This will determine how aggressive your investment plans will be. If you want a long-term investment, you'll want to buy stable, slow-growth stocks that have a greater growth rate in the long term. If you'll need access to your money soon, you'll need to be more aggressive in your investment strategy and buy higher-risk stocks that have a greater chance of rapid growth.

Register an investment account with an online stock broker, such as E-Trade or Sharebuilder. Many online stock brokers charge just a fraction of the fee that professional stock brokers charge. They also let you invest small amounts of money at a time.

Set up a direct deposit between your online investment account and your bank. This will allow you to transfer money quickly to your stock broker so you may quickly buy or sell stocks.

Purchase stocks through your online stock account. Use your account's investment rating tools to sort stocks by their risk level and growth potential. If you're a short-term stock investor looking for quick growth, buy higher-risk stocks. If you're in for the long haul, select low-risk, slow-growth stocks that are safer, but will also take longer to turn a large profit.

Apply for a JC Penny Credit Card Online

2012-02-09T03:24:00.000-08:00

Are you an avid retail shopper? Store credit cards are a great resource. Applying online makes them even easier, too. Follow these easy steps to apply for the JCPenney card online and start shopping.

Make sure you have ample credit before applying for a store credit card. Though consumers often believe that store credit cards are the key to creating credit history, the opposite is often true. Store credit cards are often more difficult to obtain than major credit cards. Also, applying for credit cards and being rejected ruins your credit history. So before you apply, make sure you have enough credit history to be accepted.

Surf over to the JCPenney website.
Click on the "Customer Service" link at the top of the page.
Click on the "JCP Credit Card" link in the left-hand menu.
Click the "Apply now" link, which will bring you to the application.
Review the terms of the contract. Ensure that you want to apply for this type of credit card.
Provide all the requested personal information and submit.
Wait for a response telling you whether you have been approved or denied. If you are denied, wait at least six months before reapplying.

Tips & Warnings

Be aware that the interest rates on store credit cards are quite high. Pay your bill on time and in full to avoid significant charges.

How to create printer friendly webpages

2012-02-02T15:46:00.001-08:00

How to make your web pages printer friendly.

Before we begin, I need you to understand that a web page by its very nature is not meant to be printed.

A web page is specifically designed to be viewed on the internet via a computer screen, if you want it to print nicely you must make it printer friendly from the very beginning....

For example, if you where to print out this page it would come out distorted and use up several pieces of paper.

Have you ever visited a website that had a button that said...

"Click here for a printer friendly version"?

Tips for creating a printer friendly page…

1) White background.
2) text Aligned left.
3) No more than 150 characters of text per line
4) Little or no graphics.
5) etc....

After you have created your printer friendly web page, print it out a few times to test how it looks and tweak it accordingly.

How to make your website load SUPER FAST!!!

2012-01-27T05:39:00.000-08:00

How to make your website load SUPER FAST!!!

As you settle in to build or update your website, what's going through your mind? No doubt thoughts of a dynamic, feature-rich website with loads of beautiful, high resolution images and lashings of JavaScript to entertain and delight your visitors? And why not? After-all this is the generous age of fast internet ... What can go wrong?

In truth there are quite literally still millions of dial-up internet users out there. Remember that your website exists for the benefit of your visitors and customers and a fraction of them will have slow internet connections. Just because a visitor has a slow internet connection doesn't mean they don't want to buy things from your e-commerce store or enjoy your website. They will click away very fast if they find your website doesn't load quickly enough. If anything, as the internet has become faster, attention spans have gotten shorter. Your page loading time will even improve your search engine ranking now that Google uses site speed in their ranking algorithm. For all these reasons, we at @Irchad and VodaHost have prepared some easy tips to help you get your website is off the mark before its competitors:

1. Graphics
Images and graphics are the main culprit when it comes to slowing down a website's page load time. Always say it with plain text where you can or use small thumb-nails instead of the full graphic. Remember that even a massive website that is all plain text will load significantly faster than even one single largish image. It is nice to show off the artistic qualities of your design but if it is at the expense of your visitors experience then it is detrimental. You should also try to use image-manipulation software to make your images the right size for the page. Try out PIXResizer, for example. You should avoid re-sizing your images without re-rendering them at the right size because the web browser will still have to load the whole image and then just squish it when it comes time to render it; this will take time. Try and avoid having duplicate images to by keeping all the images for your website in one folder because your website should, as much as possible, load from the cache (memory) of your visitor’s computer. Identical images with different file-names will get in the way of this. You should also try and avoid using animations and use a static, properly re-sized, image where possible.

2. Tables
Try and minimize the use of tables in your website if you can. Your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox et al) doesn't display the contents of a table until it has loaded all the elements within it, so if your entire website is contained within a table, it's gonna take a while to load. If you must use tables in your website, create as many different tables as you can. A different table should be employed for at least the header, body and footer of your website. That way, at least part of the web-page will appear to your visitor should they have a slow internet connection. Consider this, instead of tables, use CSS to keep your page organized.

3. Scripts
Some of the scripts out there can be fun but in an attempt not to mince words on the subject, it's fancy-shmancy. Little applications that show the user what the weather is doing in their part of the world, for example, are fairly pointless and slow down their web-surfing experience. If your visitor wants to know what the weather is doing outside, they can look out the window. You should consider scripts to be a luxury item and the rule here is, if it isn't essential, loose it!

4. Videos
Adding videos to your site can also slow down your website significantly. If you absolutely must stream, make sure your videos are small in file size. A really fantastic way to save on website speed is to embed videos into your site that you have uploaded to YouTube. You can get the HTML code from your YouTube video. Embedding videos in this way also saves on the scripts you’ll have to add to your site for the video player to work and means that your website will function faster. The more you distance the content of your site from the HTML file that “builds” it, the faster your site will load. As an added bonus, the link to Google’s YouTube will even help the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of your site and the more links to YouTube, the better!

Optimizing your page load time for your visitors will mean them a better experience and they will return to your website. Making a website for your visitors is extremely important. You must consider all the options and always optimize your site for them. Streamline your site, spread out your content neatly and stick to simple designs. All the really fast loading sites do...
