Everything Mail Order

Congratulations your blog is live! Now you need to start marketing it so you’ll build a group of followers and potential customers

How do you do this? How do you go about getting your blog out there to be seen and known by others? How do you draw readers and keep them coming back for more?

There are many ways to get your blog out there and known by others, this can be challenging for some and just quite easy for others, if you have ever had a successful blog before then you know what it takes.

You’re not going to get anywhere by just setting up a blog and hoping that people will find it and read it, you’re not going to gain any links, nor a higher search engine ranking by just having a blog.

This is just a part of the huge arena that is blog marketing, absolutely anyone can do it, even you.

Successful blog marketing tip number one.

When you first create a blog, of course it is unheard of, no one knows anything about the blog unless you give them the link and show it to them, However, for a new blog that has never been seen, there are many ways to get it out there and known.

You just need to know how. The first thing that you can do is to allow RSS feeds be taken from your blog. Let other bloggers and websites publish your content if they want to.

When you do this, they’re giving you a link back to your blog, and also telling their readers all about your blog. You will get more traffic than ever with this tool. RSS feeds are wonderful for promoting and getting your blog out there.

Blog marketing tip number two.

Make sure you update your blog regularly, no there can’t be enough emphasis on this tip, it really is worth it’s weight in gold. If you tell your readers that you’re going to update your blog daily, then do it.

If you tell them that you will be writing in your blog weekly, don’t let them down. Your readers are what makes your blog successful. You may not get this at the start, you’ll have few readers at the beginning, but you’ll gradually build a readership and see other people checking out your blog.

Perhaps you not planning on telling your readers how often you’ll post to your blog, that’s OK just remember to post regularly. However, think about this, if you were reading a blog on a weekly basis, and you expected to see the blog that you like to read updated at least once a week, you would be very disappointed to find out that it wasn’t.

Yes things happen and you might not always be able to post when you said you would, and that is fine let your readers know why (this builds rapport), but if you miss week after week you’ll can hurt your credibility and lose readers.

Tip number three.

While you’re working on your readership base, and trying to gain readers, you are going to find that commenting on blogs that are relevant to yours will surely help.

Find a blog on the same topic as your own, or perhaps a related topic and leave comments on them, you can also leave a track back to your blog postings so people will comment on your own blog.

Doing so will probably give someone else the urge to track back to your blog, which will be good for it as well.

Commenting on blogs that get many comments will make yours be seen by those interested in that market. You’ll gain traffic and readers that way, and it is easy as well as free.

The fourth blog marketing tip.

Learn and apply SEO to your blogs, SEO is search engine optimization.

You’re going to find that if you want your blog to go anywhere, you need SEO, and you need to know how to use it to the advantage of your blog.

So don’t forget to make sure the search engines can find your blog.

BABY AND KIDS JOKES, PARENTING AND TEACHING, SCHOOL CHILDREN AND FAMILY HUMOR

(Based on author’s site www.geocities.com/chlsch)

Teaching is sometimes fun because of boy or girl, kids humor; family and parenting humor are mostly baby or kid, children jokes: funny kids jokes are often humorous parenting, teaching jokes.

One of the popular school pupils’ jokes is this: “Oh,” replied the school kid, asked if he found the semester examinations easy, “the questions were easy, all right; but the answers were so difficult!”

Kids humour is seen, also, in teaching children grammar: It was nearly the end of the school term, and it was obvious to a teacher that one of his young pupils still could not tell the difference between ‘went’ and ‘gone’ -she kept saying “I have went home.” The teacher asked the girl to stay behind and write fifty times ‘I have gone home’. She did, and added a note: “I have written fifty times ‘I have gone home’ and I have went home.”

In teaching and parenting, children interpret and tell! A teacher sent this note to the parents of the children in her class: “If you don’t believe everything that your children say that happened in class, then I won’t believe everything that they say that happened at home.”

Babies know little -most baby jokes are parent humour or wit: Remarked, “Isn’t your baby rather small..?” a teenage mother commented, “Well, I have only been married three months…”

Boy humour can indicate a schoolboy’s circumstances: “If you had a Dollar in one pocket,” asked the school teacher “and two in the other, of your coat,” “what would that be..?” A boy answered, “Someone else’s coat, Miss….”

Never enough pocket money influences girl humour too: “I knew all the time,” said one of the girls to her friends in a science class, “that the Pound coin would not dissolve in that chemical solution…” Asked how she knew, the school girl explained: “Well, if it was going to, the teacher would have used a penny coin, wouldn’t he..!?”

Parenting humour has a humorous reality for all mothers: A loved mother becomes a fallen woman when she returns home from shopping without any toys.

Children jokes and family humour often involve mothers: Asked if she said her prayers before she ate, a child replied: “No; my mother’s cooking isn’t that bad.”

Family jokes on kids humour involve fathers on teaching: When asked by his father if he liked his first day at school, a child exclaimed, “You mean I have got to go again, tomorrow!?”

Teaching is often fun with children’s funny assumptions: A school kid thought Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife.

Teaching and school kids jokes use nouns versus pronouns too: A school kid, when asked by the class teacher who invented the radio, replied: “Macaroni.”

Many baby jokes and parenting humour are based on names: A couple’s friend, upon being told that the expecting parents were considering naming their baby ‘Pat’, remarked “Pooh.. every ‘Tom, Dick, and Harry’ (John and Jane Doe) is called that.”

School humour and children jokes use kids’ innocence: Asked by his teacher why he was late, a child said that he saw a road sign on the way which read: ‘Go Slow!’

Kids are clever, the anecdotes of a hailed teacher (the late Orhan Seyfi Ari) tells of his: He forbade his youngest son, then a child, from going out without asking him for a period of time ~the child cleverly picked his time, whenever his father had a siesta, always with an excuse to justify it, woke him up to ask if he could pop out!

This is so in family humour also, as seen in family jokes: A teacher having asked the class to say a few words about someone who they had made happy, one of the children told about his aunt who he spent the weekend with and when he left was happy.

Parenting humour does not, always, include kids humour: In a university parenting research project to get academic data on how many parents knew where their children were, many of the telephone calls were answered by children who did not know where their parents were.

In kid jokes children’s vocabulary adds to kids humour: After teaching about the dark ages, and having told children of the many knights they had then, a teacher tested the class by asking why the dark ages were called so -a child answered: “Because they had many nights.”

Word meanings can be used, as in this university humour: “I am taking medicine at university,” said the student; his friend asked, “Is it doing you any good?”

Wordplay can be less direct, as in this college humour: Student humour defines ‘college’ with wit, as a fountain of knowledge where one quenches one’s thirst.

College jokes can be rather harsh also on teaching staff: The difference between good and bad lecturers is a nap.

Unlike college jokes, school jokes treat teachers gently: When a member of the teaching staff announced that she was going to marry the school caretaker, the head teacher remarked to other teachers: “He swept her off her feet…”

School jokes sometimes are about schools themselves: A humorous traffic sign put up by a school was this: ‘Use your eyes! Save the pupils!’

In parenting humour and kid jokes children are innocent: A school kid proudly showed his parents a gold star his teacher gave him -asked what it was for he explained that they all had to rest, and he rested best.

University humour allows ridicule as do high school and college humor: In a law school mock trial the student asked: “When you walked into the bar, did you clearly see Mr. A and Mr. B, together?”; and, answered affirmatively, continued: “And, where were you, at the time?”

In kids jokes, be it boy humour or girl humour, children are never stupid; in parenting, are cute: A bad report of a kid from his teacher upset his parents; “Why am I so?” asked the kid, “Is it my environment or is it hereditary?”

If arts and crafts are your passion, and/or your business, then sometimes you need to get inspired with new ideas.

I don’t mean go to shows and copy something else, but just take a look at what is out there and it will quite often spark an idea.

Go to craft shows out of town, fall fairs, and especially crafts magazines. It can happen to even the most creative person, you just get stuck in a rut of making the same things every year, and you want to freshen everything up, try something new!

If you go to the magazine section of any store, you will literally find a magazine for every possible subject, but in the craft section, there are quite a few, scan through, see what others are making, and what will usually happen, if you are a creative person, something will spark an idea.

It quite often has nothing to do with the project you see, just something about it sparks another idea. You need visual stimulation to get the imagination going, get the creative juices flowing. Since painting and sewing are my passion, I subscribe to craft magazines with these subjects, for ideas, they also introduce me to new products, such as new paints, new fabrics, new paint brushes… things that light that light bulb in your head!.. and ideas just start flowing so fast, you need to write them down!

So, get yourself some craft magazines, subscribe to make life easier and its like Christmas when they come in the mail.. I can’t wait for each new issue, to see what I can come with for this years crafts, and if you are really original and creative, maybe look into putting your creation in the magazine. They are usually looking for fresh ideas, you may make some money that way!

LAW OF CONTRACT SUMMARY, WITH EXPLAINATIONS OF LAW OF CONTRACT DEFINITIONS, AND CASES

(Based on author’s site www.geocities.com/cntrct)

Of the various agreements made some are social or domestic; some others are contracts – legally enforceable.

Jones -v- Padavattan 1969 was about an agreement between a mother and daughter ~the mother had promised to support her daughter during her studies the daughter argued -the judge decided that it had not been intended to be legally binding, so it was a domestic agreement.

But in Simkins -v- Pays 1995, the mother and daughter had intended to be legally bound by jointly entering a competition to share the prize won, it was a contract.

In Jones -v- Vernon Pools Ltd. 1938, and also in Appleson -v- Littlewoods Pools 1939, there was an intention to be bound legally, but it was one-sided; the other had not so intended it to be, for the football pool company showed that the coupon contained the words ‘binding in honour only’, and it was not enforceable.

A Local Authority did not have to sell a house at the price applicable at time of application -which it was to consider; no offer existed to accept but an invitation to treat: Gibson -v- Manchester C. C. 1997.

A reward-poster (if a product did not protect against influenza) was Intention to be legally bound, as Offer, and Acceptance too had Consideration -the essentials of a contract: Carlill -v- Carbolic Smoke Ball Co. 1893.

A Contract is distinguished from other forms of agreement by determining whether it contains those three basic essentials -as matters of fact, oftener of law.

An agreement is a Contract if it contains the three basic elements of Intention to create Legal Relations, Offer & Acceptance, and Consideration; but what constitute these, how, and why, or not, are matters, mostly, of precedent; therefore, it is useful, on each of these, to look at some more of such precedent…

Intention to Create Legal Relations: It is, of course, most unusual when commercial agreements between businesses are made that a legal relationship was not by both parties intended to be created; it is, essentially, more so a different situation than an exclusion clause making it binding in honour only, when, while may have been intended as a matter of fact, that an agreement may not be made the subject of the jurisdiction of the courts -in terms at least of whether it is legally binding, is not capable in law of having been intended; yet a contract in Rose & Frank Co.-v- J P Crompton 1925 was not the agreement -it showed that a legal relationship was not intended to be created.

That the husband would pay his wife £30pm was not intended in Balfour -v – Balfour 1919 to be binding; that he was to repay the mortgage and transfer ownership of the property to her in Merritt -v- Merritt 1970, as she had asked him to be put in writing and he had, was intended as binding ~as meant a travel firm’s sign that failed holidays would be reimbursed for in Bowerman -v-ABTA Ltd. 1995

Offer and Acceptance: An ‘offer’ is not an ‘invitation to treat’ ~an advert. in Partridge -v- Crittenden 1968 was an invitation to treat as the numbers of birds could not be infinite to make it capable of being ad-infinitum accepted -in Pharmaceutical Soc. -v- Boots 1953 drugs in self-service store could not be an offer to sell as a chemist at pay-point could refuse to. Nor is it ‘information’ ~’Will sell? State lowest price’ replied to stating it was information in Harvey -v- Facey 1893; the announcement of the auction cancelled did not in Harris -v- Nickerson 1783 entitle to travel expenses, as in Pane -v- Cane 1789, a bid constituted the offer.

Nor is an offer unwithdrawable if the offeree is informed -by anyone Dickinson -v- Dodds 1876, before acceptance Byrne -v- vanTienhoven 1880 ~and it can lapse eg shares Ramsgate Victoria Hotel -v- Montefoire 1866, or if goods become damaged or destroyed, or by a counter-offer (£950 ok?) Hyde -v- Wrench 1940, or if the offeror rejects it or dies.

A valid offer, therefore, as an expression of a proposition willingly to contract, can be, as by a reward poster in Carlill to any or many persons, if communicated -e.g. by biding by raise of hands, with clear terms, while it exits capably of being accepted.

Acceptance of such a valid offer constitutes contract.

Agreement to the offer is ‘acceptance’ -if communicated.

Generally, the offeree’s silence is not tantamount to acceptance and ‘if I don’t hear from you I’ll deem it so’ in Felthouse -v- Bindley 1862 did not constitute it.

Any effective way will do, Entores -v- Miles Far East 1955, if fax or e-mail, during working hours or the following work day: Brinkbon -v- Stahag Stahi 1982. If acceptance is posted or telegraphed, it is effectively made, even if it is incorrectly addressed and delayed Adams -v- Lindsell 1818, or lost in the post Household Fire -v- Grant 1879 -unless handed to a postal staff not authorised to receive mail; such acceptance is, and the contract is made, at that time -even if before its receipt the offer is withdrawn Byrne -v- vonTienhoven 1876 ~and, Blackpool Aero Club -v- Blackpool C.C. 1990, the offeror must check his mail before closing the offer.

The offeror may prescribe a way of acceptance -then only that, or possibly one more advantageous to the offeror, will do; in Ediason -v- Henshaw 1819 postal acceptance was not as specified -giving it to the driver; if unspecified conduct may imply it -e.g. purchasing aware of the offer, Carlill.-v- Carbolic Smokeball Co. 1893.

Acceptance must be unqualified, ’subject to contract’, or Neale -v- Merrett 1930 ‘the rest later’, is not so; unless it is capable itself of acceptance, Hyde -v- Wench 1840, requesting information is not a counter offer barring later acceptance, Stevenson -v- McLean 1880.

Consideration: A contract’s point is consideration: ‘executed’ -something done because of which another has to also; or ‘executors’-to be done because of which a contract will exist that another will have too ~it is the benefit or the detriment involved: Currie -v- Misa 1875.

What is contributed to the bargain must be of some value – not necessarily adequately matching the other’s: in Thomas -v- Thomas 1842 £1pa rent was so; and in Chappel & Co.-v- Nestle Ltd. 1960 chocolate wrappers were the stipulated consideration for a music record.

Consideration is owed in return for pre-agreement considerations: the King’s favour was got upon the other’s request, not for £100 overjoyed promised later in Lampleigh -v- Braithwaite 1615; the children’s promise to pay was after repairs were begun in Re. McArdle 1951; also not for a duty: in Glassbrook Bros. -v- Glamorgan C.C. 1925 it was more than the job of the police, in Hartley -v- Ponsonby 1857 more than the sailor’s, but in Stilk -v- Myrick 1809 it was the sailor’s job -his duty. Nor, in is it owed to thirds parties -in Tweedle -v- Akinson 1861 the bridegroom was not a party to the parents’ agreement to give the couple £500 ~unless since Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 named in or identifiable from a contract as beneficiary.

Consideration less than agreed is not good -Pinnel 1602 -except in settling debts, but is if fair commercially -more funds to complete job: William -v- Roffley 1990.

Terms: Those conditions which, if breached, entitle to remedies (depending on their status and the type) are ‘terms’.

Express Terms, subject only to judicial interpretation, as a rule, cannot be argued, if in writing, to have misstated intentions: Jacobs -v- Batavia etc. Trust 1924 -unless unreasonably creating an inequity ~where oral, parole evidence is allowed: Hanish -v- Bank of Montreal 1969.

Implied Terms, unless by statute so, if customary or not occurring to the parties (‘the bystander test’) disregards business efficacy, are deemed so: In The Moorcock 1889 safety of the anchorage did not have to be express, nor in Liverpool CC -v- Irwin 1977 that dwellings must habitable. In Rowland -v- Divall 1923 that seller transfers ownership, Microbeads -v- Vinehurst Road Markings 1975 buyer’s right to quiet possession, Priest -v- Last 1903 (scalding hot water bottle) merchantable quality and Grant -v- Australian Knitting Mills 1936 (underpants -dermatitis) fitness for the purpose, Beale -v- Taylor 1967 that sale is by description also when upon inspection, are, respectively, ss. 12 & 12(1), 12(2), 15, Sale of Goods Act 1979 ~in s. 15 the bulk must be as the sample in quality, ss. 1(2) & 1(2B) Sale & Supply of Goods Act 1994 limited fitness to ’satisfactory’, s. 1(2C) quality if defect not told of or where examined could not have been reasonably noticed ~they must not be serious: Frost -v- Aylsbury Diaries 1905 (contaminated milk -death), ss. 13, 14 Supply of Goods & Services Act 1982 imply reasonable care-skill-time; interpretation is strict: Re. Moore & Landau 1921.

Conditions are terms entitling to withdraw from the contract and sue if breached. A singer’s partly not turning up to perform breached a condition: Poussard -v- Spiers & Pond 1976. In e.g. the Sale of Goods Act 1979 s. 12(1), seller transfers ownership, s. 15, bulk must correspond to sample, are implied conditions.

Warranties if breached are of trivial consequence, not entitling to withdraw from the contract: 19 out of 24 months could still be worked a ship in Hong Kong Fir Shipping -v- Kawasaki Ltd. 1962; a singer only from rehearsal had been partly absent: Bettini -v- Gye 1876. In s. 12(2) SGA a buyer’s quiet possession is an implied warranty.

Exclusion Clauses limit or disclaim liability, if not inequitably in bargaining power, as in Photo Productions -v- Securicor Transport 1980 for failures of employees -both equal in power and legal advice. In standard contracts, they are binding on who sign them: L’estrange -v- Graucob 1934; but how & when incorporated matter; on a receipt it would not do: Chapelton -v- Barry UDC 1940, it had to be pointed out: Spurling -v- Bradshaw 1956 -’red hand rule’, it could not be relied on contained in the delivery: Interphoto Picture Library -v- Stiletto Visual Programmes 1988, nor on a sign in a room (theft) -contracted at the reception: Olley -v- Marlborough Court 1949.

They are confined to the matters excluded, strictly interpreted -ambiguity unfavourably to a party seeking enforcement -’contra-preferentum rule’: Pollock -v- Macrae 1922.

The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 makes them void for death, personal injury, loss, damage, negligently caused -reasonableness in circumstances as proof of one relying on it. Supply of Goods & Services Act 1982 & 1984 invalidate suppliers’ exclusion of statutory implied terms; so the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 any unfair individually unnegotiated -it requires plainness in written consumer contracts, allows consumer organisations to challenge terms.

Discharge of Contracts: Fulfilled or comes to an end.

Performance is when the parties have fulfilled their obligations -not necessarily fully nor all at once. Part performance, if substantial, does not entitle to withdraw: Hoenig -v- Isaacs 1952 (£55 of £750) ~in severable contracts if performance in stages ceases, part performed must be paid -so also if prevented performance: Planche -v- Colburn 1831 (cancelled £100 job done £50 payable on a quantum meriut basis); to accepted part performance ends the contract and any remainders may be contracted for anew.

Agreement to other considerations is new contract: Pinnel 1902.

Breach of a condition frees the other party of obligations; of a warranty, only entitles to sue for damages.

Frustration is when it is, or becomes, due to no fault of either party, not possible to carry out the contract; if so when made, it does not exist: Paradine -v- Jane 1647; else, it is a breach which makes it void: Taylor -v- Caldwell 1863 (destruction of the subject -hall burnt down) and Condor -v- Boron Knights 1966 (incapacity re. personal service -ill) and Re. Shipton, Anderson & Co. 1915 (government intervention or supervening illegality -state requisitioned it) and Krell -v- Henry 1903 (non-occurrence of sole purpose -event cancelled). Under The Law Reform (Frustrated Contracts) Act 1943 money paid before the frustration is irrecoverable, if due is not payable; a party is entitled to expenses, and a valuable benefit has to be paid for: Gamerco -v- ICM Fair Warning Agy. 1995.

Remedies: Breach of one’s contract entitles remedies.

Damages are the actual financial loss of the wronged party that were in the reasonable contemplation of both of the parties, at the time they contracted, as would naturally arise from the wronged party’s normal activity: Hadley -v- Bexendale 1845, and any not so but of which the parties were expressly informed: Victoria Laundry -v- Newman 1945, in loss aiming to put the wronged party in the position that he would have been if the contract had been completed: Jarvis -v- Swan Tours 1973 ~general damages for distress or annoyance being recoverable where comfort or freedom from discomfort (e.g. holiday contracts) is the basis of a normal commercial contract: Alexander -v- Rolls Royce Motor Cars 1995 -but Forthsyth -v- Ruxley Electronics & Construction 1995 did awarded for amenity and disappointment (less deep pool than ordered); but one’s must have taken steps to mitigate his loss: Brace -v- Calder 1895.

Quantum Meruit is piecemeal as an implied term, unless conditional to completion: Sumpter -v- Hedges 1898.

Equitable Remedies may be specific performance if only that would do (e.g. land sale), except for personal services: Lumley -v- Wagner 1852; or injunction if must prevent, also in personal services: Warner Bros. -v- Nelson 1937.

Liquidated Damages as terms in advance agreed which are fair Dunlop Tyre Co. -v- Garage Motors 1915, not tantamount to a penalty: Ford Motor Co. -v- Armstrong 1915 (above list-price).

This is an outline of the English Law of Contract ~laws change, always ascertain current law.
