"I have a great idea, but I just don't know how to get started ..."
If you are like most people, you have great ideas come into your head all the time. Things you would like to do, or write, or create. But working all those projects into daily life can be very difficult and time consuming.
The solution all too often is - nothing. The idea is forgotten, and whatever benefit it may have had for you, your business, or the world is lost, possibly forever.
Our world and society has become very fast paced, mostly due to technology. However, we can use that same technology to "capture" and "slow down" those moments where we need to focus, if only for a few seconds.
One such tool is a web site called "CopyScape". By setting up an account on this site, you can do a number of things that can help you not only come up with new content for your own site, but it can help you protect the content you already have from being copied or plagiarized.
By entering your site information, you can have the system scan the web for similar material to see if your material is being stolen. The results of the search can also be used to develop new content and to link to other sites as sources for your own material. Sort of 'reverse engineering' your own knowledge and sharing credit with others.
It will also show you where you have copied your own material and shared it. This is important because the search engines need to know which of the copies is the "original" - there are ways of marking the "copies" so that they link back to the original, give it more credibility and preventing search engine penalties for duplication of content.
