Importance of Updating Website Content
Content is critical for any website. Whether it is information or new products – what you 
have on your site is key to generating traffic. Users want and expect to see or learn something valuable each time they visit. Updating your site frequently will attract both visitors and search engines.
Search engines reward websites that update often by moving them up the rankings. If a website is updated often, then search engines consider it a consistent source of new information and awards it some points that can help move its listing up in the search results. Conversely, if your website never changes, search engines may penalize you by moving you down in the rankings.
It’s the same with visitors. If your website never changes, why would someone who has already read it want to come back? If I came to your website today, then came back next month and nothing has changed, I would probably think that nothing is really happening with your business or you have the same old products. Giving your visitors a reason to come back with new information and new offers will increase the chance of closing a transaction.
Updating content allows you to track what affect the changes have in your website’s performance. Knowing what works and what doesn’t in terms of attracting traffic and customers can help make a website successful. If your website never changes, then how do you know if it is operating at its peak performance? To learn what that is you can analyze your data, make changes, and track the affect the change had on performance. Who knows, that one piece of information that currently is not on your website may draw in a whole new type of customer. But you’ll never know if you never post it.
Web content and maintenance is a process. Many people create their website and forget about it. Updating your site and reviewing your strategies can enhance your success.

Twitter’s New Features
Twitter has added some new features. The social media site announced that it will allow 
users the ability to upload what the company calls a header photo. The photo, which gets a lot of screen space at the top of the user’s Twitter page, sits above the tweets. The cover photo spans the width of your tweets, and appears whenever someone views your profile. The profile picture and bio are still visible, but the larger cover photo has prominence.
According to Twitter – it’s another way “to express yourself instantly, anywhere.”
The redesign also adds photo streams to its mobile apps, enabling users to scroll through thumbnails of others’ photos or click on them to see a full-size image on both iPhone and Android platforms.
Keeping with their new theme of adding focus to images, Twitter is putting more emphasis on the photos you’ve recently tweeted in two ways: they now have their own box on the left side of your profile page, and they appear directly below your tweets on Twitter’s official mobile apps.
Twitter has also completely revamped Twitter for iPad, building it from the ground up and including such features as in-line tweet expansion and support for photos, videos and web settings.
Many think these changes look familiar – they are similar to what Facebook users can add on the top of their new timelines.
These moves are an effort by Twitter to personalize the site.

What You Need to Know About Web Hosting
Every website needs a place to call home. This home is called your web host. Your web 
host provides data center space for your site and allows it to be accessible to others via the web. The scope of web hosting services varies. Storage or server space, speed, traffic and bandwidth are some of the factors to consider when deciding on a web host.
Your first consideration is space. When you upload your website, you are actually uploading all of your files to a server that is always connected to the internet. This requires enough memory to store all of your files. When someone goes to your website, their computer reads the files from the server, and that’s how your website appears on their computer screen. Most personal websites and small business websites use shared hosting. Small hosting plans usually give you a limit on the amount of memory or storage space your website can take up. Shared hosting tends to be less expensive because everyone is using the same server and the cost of buying and maintaining the hardware is shared among all users. The other kind of hosting is dedicated hosting, which is where your website has its very own server. This kind of hosting is more expensive because provides you with your own space which means more room and often more speed too. Dedicated hosting is best for large businesses, large websites or anyone who needs to run a company database on the server. Regardless of which kind of hosting you have, it is important to ensure that you have plenty of space for your needs.
Another important consideration is the amount of traffic or bandwidth your website is allotted. Every time someone visits your website, the files on the server must be downloaded to their computer. That’s how they see your page on their screen. In order to do that, the server must send a copy of the files across the internet. Most small and medium-sized hosting plans set a limit on how much traffic or bandwidth you get per month, that is, how much information can be transferred to your visitors. For this reason, it is important to have an estimate of how much traffic you think your website will be getting. Personal websites and very small company websites may not get an overload of traffic. But some e-commerce websites, company websites with blogs, and other types of sites that will grow with time should plan ahead for spikes in traffic to be sure that service is not interrupted.
Regardless of what kind of site you have, the best way to ensure all of your hosting needs are met is to research your options and understand what to look for.
