Funding is very important with charity groups. Donations are carefully divided on the important needs first than hiring a designer to create a website for them. More often, they only assign a member to research and build a website from scratch. A fancy website is fine with them – just the mission, vision and alike are there.
Areas of campaigning and donations are nearly the areas that continue to evolve nowadays. Ideally, the internet has a lot to offer with the nonprofit sectors to connect with us. A well built, informative and easy to navigate website can have a huge impact on its viewers. We can now donate with few clicks through applications like Paypal – raising funds for charities has never been easier!
In today’s tough economy, the charity groups need not only your donations but volunteers who can help them raise funds.
Just recently, we added 5 new template designs for charity groups that could help them find sponsors. Many nonprofit groups can come up with websites without the need to hire a designer. It is easy to upload information on the site bundled with good looking designs. It will be easier to raise money from donations whether their aim is to provide food, shelter or clothing to less fortunate.

It has been all wonderful when bikers and cycling clubs started joining the Terapad community. Its gracious to know that these website designs have been a great help for them to share their enthusiasm in the world of cycling.
A week ago, two new cycling templates were added to our design library. The two designs showcase the heart throbbing fun of bicycle racing. The prestige of the different cycling races brought us the idea of sharing this website looks for our champions.
“Cycling Race” and “Bicycle Racing” were the titles given to them as a tribute to the famous heart pounding cycling tours. Fanatics and enthusiasts of biking champions can also make use of these designs to start a website to support their idols. It would be a great way to hook cycling fans to form their own community and participate with their fellow members through the built in forum.
While we bring you these new designs, we’re expecting to bring you more in the future.
Together with USA Cycling, a national governing body for bicycle racing in United States, www.freecyclingwebsite.com was launched. FreeCyclingWebsite.com offers free websites to cycling clubs across USA and get 10% discount on all premium services. Only corporate could afford to build and own websites, but only Terapad and USA Cycling lets you do that without being corporate. Cycling clubs across the country have been searching for ways to get a professional and affordable online presence. USA Cycling took up their cause and searched for a partner in this arena, and chose Terapad as its partner.

The Power of Tags on Websites

Monday, 09 February 09 - 08:05 AM (GMT) By Ces Catubay in Terapad News |

Tags are keywords used to describe a piece of information published on the web. Otherwise known as metadata, tags make your life easier whether you are organizing your posts or when you’re looking for a piece of information. Tags works best by filtering your posts matched by a common keyword.
Just recently, Terapad adopts the power of tags on the built-in search. Tags are better and more effective because it allows you to categorize and manage the results of a search in your website.
Here’s an example.
You opened a website for your catering business and listed the services you offer. They were categorized as weddings, corporate events, parties, private functions, barbecues. A prospect client visited your website to check if you offer healthy plate options. Upon checking the pages, he realized that there was no information relating to healthy meals. Suddenly, he saw the search box and used it for his query.
Unfortunately, there was no tag for the keywords he’s looking for. He closed the window and looked for other catering services.
The above example relates on how you can make us of tags. Adding a set of tags such as healthy, health, diet, healthy meals, etc., can greatly help. Tags can help you sort relevant information for easier browsing.
How to add tags:
There are two ways on how to add tags on your published articles. You can use both or choose the best one depending on your needs.
First Option: News Tags
Once you’re inside the control panel, click on the ‘News’ Tab. A list of your news items will be displayed on the page. Click on the ‘Edit’ button to add tags on the published items.
The tags box is located on the bottom that looks like this. 
Enter the keywords on the box and don’t forget the save button.
Second Option: Page Tags
Inside the control panel, click the ‘Pages’ tab. Navigate until you see the page that you want to enter keyword. When the WYSIWYG editor is open, click the ‘Search Engine’ tab located above the text editor and the third tab from the left. 
You will see a box labeled ‘Keywords’ wherein you can enter the tags you want to include on your website.
Keywords should be separated by commas. It is best to make the tags relevant to your articles.
You can check out Terapad’s tag cloud with the user-generated tags on the community. Bigger font means there are more posts tagged with that keyword.
Terapad under attack

Late on Saturday night (GMT) Terapad servers experienced an unusually high volume of traffic and started running very slowly. Engineers were despatched to London based data centre to investigate the problem. What they found was that the system was under a direct Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack.
Our engineers braved exceptional weather conditions and have worked around the clock to bring the system back on line, which I am very grateful to them for. The attack still continues but our security measures are making the effects less obvious. The system remains slow. Further work will take place.
The last time this happened was in November 2007, at that time we were offline on and off for about 4 days. This time we are better prepared. Why people attack us is unknown, although with so many tens of thousands of sites on Terapad it is likely that one of them is the target. Regardless Terapad do intend to deliver all our data gathered by our engineers to SOCA.
If you are a client Terapad Pro account, you may be entitled to a refund under your Service Level Agreement. This will be calculated at the end of February and you will be notified by email with payment being made direct to your Paypal account.
Terapad outsource the uptime monitoring of our systems to IP Patrol. This company is entirely independent to us and in the interests of openness and to demonstrate our commitment to providing good uptime I have included a summary provided by them below.
So apologies once again from the Terapad team, we are doing what we can and remain dedicated to providing a reliable platform for all your websites. Thank you all for your patience.
Merry Christmas from Terapad
