• -New and Current projects and website developments :

  November 2006

  
  
  Follow only the links which you are sincerely interested in. Sincere effort is being made to provide services and links to referred sites that are appealing to the visitors. All effort is made to make your visit to this site pleasant. In that way over time enough visitors will help to keep the site alive. The features of the site will change again in order to put the most prominent and more frequently visited items to the front of the website.
  
  
  
  Quality products and services are things which we each prefer to find as we spend our hard earned dollars. Though it would be dandy to have a site that is 100% free of ads, the truth is that people who build websites also eat and pay rent and house notes or business leases. So, forgive the delay, but tasteful ad and placement is time consuming. Additionally, larger companies prefer to deal with sites that do larger volumes and drop smaller sites like this one. But, it's a big world and a wide Internet.
  
  Time spent putting in links and building web pages is time that you can't get back. We will look forward to tomorrow, and continue to structure a site that is welcoming. This site will not send spam to it's visitors. If you have recieved mail claiming to be from this site, "It's fake" Nor, will we trick you into clicking links to things and places you don't want to visit. Articles and reviews already done may be added, even without the sponsors. br>
  Discussions of Electronics will vary and articles will accompany or follow entries of featured products, which are of true interest.

    • Sharable images will be added as made available. Many game images are severely copyrighted and I cannot grant you permission to copy them so if you find images on this site and they are not marked for image sharing please do not use them in a manner that can cause you any complication. Of course no one can stop you from downloading the images onto your personal computers, since they are automatically on your system somewhere in a cache if you can see the image. Just do the right thing and nobody gets in trouble.

    • Myspace slide shows have recently been made as an available feature – decision to add the slides of my pictures from personal pages there has not yet been decided since there is a slight question about the linkage rules for My space pages.

  • -General information :

  • Page at Debra Ford Enterprises and for my friends on the Yahoo 360 network occasional entries are made at DEBWEBblog 360 Yahoo
    
    
    

  • -Updates on Art Projects:

    • can be found at the meet the Artist browser page and in the blog here Ford's Personal Page where you can see a dramatic difference between before and after - on this navigation page there is the browser window for one of my personal profile pages and at the bottom of the page you can see the original page as it was in the very beginning. The pages and the entire site will continue to evolve

    • . Meet the Artist

      • is the name of the actual Page Profile on

      • the page ison the Yahoo 360 network community

      • photostream of the pictures which are at flickrr are available on the profile page and are automatically updated when new photos are added

      • Comments

        • have been disabled from the meet the artist page if you are not on y friend's list due to people adding links to ads for software packages on my blog. When I am ready to sell software for Graphic Arts I will give you the links to my Adobe Pages, but, they will NOT be found on my meet the artist page and neither will be any links to “Strangers Sale Suggestions”. “SSS” Oooooh!...No she didn't just bust someone for trying to slip in their advertisement links on her site on the sly Oooh.. Yes She Did !!!!!

        • comments can be left as messages and if they actually are inline with the page I will add them for you at my discretion

        • It is a “meet the artist page “ NOT a comentary on whether or not you approve . If you approve you are welcomed to visit as often as you like and tips and i

        • Images are made available for non-commercial usage with proper reference to the artist

        • I am very busy and have a life time of ideas and your comments on what I should paint or draw are only requested from those who I do art work for so unless you are one of my “Bestest” Friends, Family or a Customer don't tell me what to draw or paint...and that's the way it is. Ooooh ... No she didn't tell you that her creativity is more important than your instantaneous suggestion to add your personal ideas to her life long to do list... Ooooh ... YES She Did!!!!

      • Messages can be left at the mail for the profile page

        • Do not leave advertisements in my mail or you will be reported. If you are my friend and I have expressed to you in particular that I was looking for a specific thing and you are getting back to me...well that's different. But, the person who sees a key word that coincidentally connects with their product...that doesn't work for me. It also tells me that the person didn't really spend much time on my profiles. When a person is in a position to have to replace everything, at the same time,they already have an extremely long list of specific products that they want. At my stage in life I have a good idea of what definitely need. Sure, there are grey areas. For the grey areas I go shopping online, make my wish lists, bookmark pages of interest and do the research.
          
          Things that don't work: 1) sending me an email saying "dear stranger, I have the product you need" - that's just crazy. 2)Trying to sell me graphics software - duh 3)Telling me that I bought something that cost more money than I have from a site I never heard of just to get me to click your link - ha! 4)Trying to sell weight loss products to a skinny person - double..ha! 5)Trying to get me to be a bookkeeper for an overseas company and launder your checks and money orders...NO Way!!!6)Trying to convince me to for some wierd reason to claim the insurance money from sombody I never heard of and ..oh yeah..keep it a secret 7)Trying to get me to click on links to Dating sites of all things to see whether or not I want to chat with some miscelaneous person who can't manage to connect with the thousands of people who are already members. 8) Telling me I won 2 million dollars in an over seas lotteryso I must give you all my personal information including my social security number as soon as possible and ...oh yeah Keep it a secret.9)getting me to pick between Walmart and Kmart 10)Askng me to fill out a survey that asks all the questions that I've seen as security questions from financial institutions.So don't try it. The amount of work some people put into trying to trick other people is more effort than some people do to get rich legally

        • Do not leave smut in my mail box

        • Do not leave any messages saying you have fallen in love with me and want to spend your life wit hme... Go visit your shrink and tell them about it or let it be your own little secret.

      • The blog for that page is http://blog.306.yahoo.com/debraford123 will attempt to fill the spot for those of you waiting for my personal artist page here

      • The Meet the Artist Blog is also simultaneously posted with a different look directly here on this site at http://www.debraford123.com/360 The font is much smaller and the entire color scheme is different

    • during August and can be accessed from the weather and main pages. Information placed on network community site blogs will remain ther for those local communities even after placing the material on this site. Please overlook any redundancy of topics during this transitional period. Bookmarked pages of interest topics which will develop into extended articles have been placed at various bookmarking services and will be found on this site as links pages. The majority of bookmarkked pages have been visited and checked. The bookmarks added from Raw sugar are a combination of personal links and those collected by themed searched. Those particular entries will be revisited before adding those links to this site for reference. It is the objective to bring wholesome links to you so there is a time element involved in prescreening the links.

  • The My space profile

    • information provided in profile and blogs will either be imported or recreated here. Though it is possible to navigate to myspace from opther blogs in the debwebrowser, no direct linked myspace pages will be added here in compliance with myspace policies. In an effert to reduce load time, the information on the pages will be devided into several page groups by category so that the specialties can be viewed at this site without navigating to the other network. Friend's pages will not be linked here for myspace in that no responsibility can be claimed for the behaivior of the changing content designs at that site by members. After 5 months many sound quality content has been discovered at the myspace network. However, it is your responsibility to use reservation when navigating to "friends" of "friends" at community networks.

  • Game review pages

    • have been added to pages under blog1 categories http://www.debraford123.com/blog1

• The Guest Book -

  • is being removed due to the horrible behaivior of several visitors who have used robots to leave ads and extract data from the guest book in order to send spam. A new guest book will be created and a more secure form of signing will be added to avoid misrepresentation by other sources which may have sent spam to my visitors. Please forgive me for the behaivior of my other visitors if you have received any mail claiming to be from this site. No mail has been sent to any of my visitors with advertisements. It is unfortunate that the senders have actually put my email in the “from” slot when it clearly didn't come from me. I made a point to sign my own guest book in order to monitor any foul play. Not only am I removing the guest book I have reported the violations.

In order to return to the original quick loading pages that we all prefer news feeds are being moved to News and are no longer available on this page

Game Review

Chebo Man

July 06 Update on the DEBWEB-MIGRATION Links for game downloads and previous reviews posted here can be located at http://debraford123.com/blog1/deb-web-games-reviews-and-tips/ and as usual the browser for arcade games is located at debraford123.com/DEBWEBGAMES.html Notices will still be posted here about game releases but the review posts will be expanded at www.debraford123.com Things are still a little slugish there especially since it is heavily under construction. Until the speed is acceptable there will be a continuous spray of posting at various networks. Music, news releases and public information will be posted here more often than games...but, I'll try to keep it fun. Having learned many new "fancy " web tricks, you can look forward to a little creative flare by the end of the year. Sorry I haven't cloned myself yet. This casual update on the Debweb migration was entered by debraford123 Many listings from this blog can be found at www.debraford123.com/blog one if you cant find it at the first link I have given.

An excellent photo organizer that works on most systems is Picassa. I actually had it installed on a system with only 256 memory in 2005 and it worked just fine. I do recommend it highly. It will find all the photos on your system and give you a variety of viewing options. If you have an extremely large number of photos on your system it will take a while to build the database but is totally worth it. So install it when you are taking a break from computer usage so the program can help you find your photos. This will permit you to store photos in places other than just “my Pictures.
