Useful links
The presence of a links page on this site does not suggest that it needs filling up with "link exchanges". I add links here when I find information or products that will be of interest to my visitors - not because I owe a link to someone who has decided to list me on their site.

You must make
sure that you have the rights to publish all images you use on your web
site whether it's a site you are creating yourself or one you are getting
me to do. Don't grab images from other web sites either, as you may unwittingly
be using an image that you should have paid for. Getty Images and
other image suppliers regularly send out "picture search robots"
to scour the web for invisible watermarks and find unlicensed images
on web sites. They do not send out any warnings, the first you will
know about it is a bill for £2000 or more with a demand for payment.
Search on "getty images warning letter" in Google for more
information. Avoid the threat of legal proceedings and
make sure your images are properly licensed.
Popular "free
listing" and "register your domain
name" scam information
These companies
prey on novice internet users to try and trick them into re-registering
domain names at vastly inflated prices, sending official looking
bills for listings in directories with extortionate pricing in the
small print, seeking assistance in getting money out of African countries,
or making "advance fee" bookings using invalid credit cards or
rubber cheques. Steer clear! See the links below for more advice.
