 DA SECOND EDITION 
A sincere welcome to ALL new Subscribers and welcome back to the test pilots! LOL I have been game enough to produce a second Edition of DOSE after receiving A HUGE RESPONSE to the first Edition. Thank you to EVERYONE who emailed me. Your support and encouraging words had a profound effect. (I shed a tear).
It was a different story a couple of days earlier when I hadn't received ONE COMMENT about my first Edition. It was THEN that I discovered that the email advice I had sent the week before, was still sitting in my Host's files UNSENT!
I forgot to implement the 'golden rule' of Ezine Publishers - check, check and recheck and NEVER assume. Hey gang! I am learning all the skills, OK? I am sure to make other blunders.
Speaking of blunders, SPECIAL THANKS to my sweet Aussie friend, Jodie. Before the majority of you got to see the first Edition, Jodie had advised me of some links that weren't working, so I was able to fix them before you got to be inconvenienced. I finally found a POSITIVE aspect of having a time difference. Jodie runs her Safelist with the same passion she employs when pointing out my errors! *SMILE* You can join her excellent Safelist HERE
I will usually be publishing DOSE fortnightly because it's two week! (too weak - HUMOR). Because of the lateness of the first issue, I decided to send another one this week as I wanted to be with you to share Christmas Day. Yes, I will be publishing on Christmas Day in another two week's time. Call me crazy but NEVER call me late for dinner! (Sheesh! Where HAS the year gone?)
To those who may be going away and not be here for my Christmas Edition, I wish you a safe journey both ways and extend to you and your family, a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
Below are links to 'presents' I would like to offer you. Three are for Online Giveaways that you probably have seen plastered all over the Internet.

That's enough outa me, (for now). Let's proceed with the current issue.
Oh, before we do, a message to all who are viewing DOSE for the first time. You can change the color of what DaWiz is wearing by refreshing your screen. Also, I don't include a menu in DOSE Editions, because I don't want you to skip anything. EVERY word on this page is important because it forms a vital part of what is required to succeed online, and that's COMMUNICATION! (That was a DaWizzerism =:o)

~ A serious 'lecture' on a relevant topic. ~
Held in the Donjon - Inner Stronghold (no, NOT the dungeon)
Last Issue, I presented a HUGE article and hinted in DaWiz DaRecess that I would tell you about the the BEST web copy I had EVER read, in this issue.
I don't wish to EVER disappoint you, so I will do as I said I would. Now, I could copy and paste it in here for you to read, but that might be stretching the copyright rules and regulations, so I won't be doing that! Also, there is a LOT to read, so it is better that I give you the link to the website and let you read it at your leisure. It contains some coarse language, so be warned. It is both POWERFUL and RELEVANT web sales copy and well worth the read.
Here is the link: BEST EVER WEB COPY (I signed up as soon as I had read the last word)
Once you have read the web page, I would appreciate you returning here and sending me your comments. Click HERE to send your comments. Thank you.

DaWiz DaRecess
~ A time to take a deserved break but still remain in 'learning' mode ~
Held in the Buttery - The room for service of beverages (oh goody!)
Now I have no idea whether or not you have read the web copy mentioned above, so I don't know whether or not to take it easy on you during this recess.
Last Issue, I carried on about 'GURU's.' Many of you responded and agreed with me that the term is meaningless to thinking people. So, since majority rules here at the DOSE Academy, it's 'OOROO (Aussie goodbye) to the GURU!
Now I do have another whinge to share with you, and since I don't have a 'DaGrumblebum' section, (yet), I will use this recess to air my frustrations.
As some of you know, I am in the process of setting up an eBay Info Store that will be offering EVERYTHING anyone who wants to participate in the Online Auction Arena could EVER want PLUS a little extra from me. (No, this isn't an Ad.)
I chose an appropriate name - ebaytoday - and contacted eBay to get approval that it would be OK to use this as part of my subdomain. I didn't want to infringe any Copyright or Trademark issues. Better to be safe than sorry, right?
FIRST eBAY RESPONSE: Sorry John, you are not allowed to register a domain name that contains our name. HELLO! I never asked if I could register a domain name containing their name. GRRRRR number 1.
I emailed them a courteous reply pointing out that they didn't answer the original question that I had asked, but gave me an answer that was irrelevant to the question.
SECOND eBAY RESPONSE: Sorry for the confusion John. We have investigated your enquiry and advise that you would be infringing our copyright if you used our Logo on your website or on any advertising material. GRRRRR number 2. If the email was in hard copy form, I would have screwed it up and tossed it!
OK - no more Mr Nice Guy. My email back advised of my frustration that I was receiving garbage answers to a quite straight forward question. "Can I please use ebay in part of my subdomain name?" How much clearer could I possibly be?
Bearing in mind that this all started 6 weeks ago, you can appreciate I was getting a little 'fragile' towards anything eBay.
I FINALLY received an answer from yet another Customer Service Representative that was very happy to be in a position to assist me with my enquiry. THEY SAID NO!!
HUGE GRRRRR number 3!
Well, sorry folks, but I am not prepared to accept their NO for a final answer, at least not without a fairly detailed explanation as to how and why they had reached that decision. I have read and reread every page on their website concerning their Policies re the use of their name, etc. NOWHERE does it specifically refer to subdomains.
The thing that peeves me the most, is that I am quite within my rights to use a page name of ebaytoday, as in http://myriad2020.com/ebaytoday.html but not allowed, in their opinion anyway, to use http://ebaytoday.myriad2020.com. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
I have emailed them back and I will hopefully have an update for you in the next issue of DOSE. In the meantime, if you have an opinion or comments you would like to share, please send them to: eBay_Whinge (I gotta take a short break after writing that. I have smoke coming out of my ears!)
P.S. - If YOU have a whinge and want to air it with your fellow Subscribers, please send it to me for inclusion in a NEW SECTION that will commence in January 2006. Email it to me HERE

~ A WHOMERAZZ look at some of the 'funny' things seen on the Internet ~
Held in the Bailey (Courtyard), close to the Garderobe. (look it up *smiles*)
The SECOND, SEVENTH and FIFTEENTH person to email me the correct answer as to what a Garderobe is, will receive a blast out of their opportunity via my INSTANT BOOSTER program! Email me your answer HERE
With Christmas closing in on us rapidly, every person and their grandmother seem to be hitting the Internet Safelist scene and flogging their wares. There MUST be a lot of 'new' posters, evidenced by the following Subject Lines they have used. (They are either 'newbies' or have been experiencing early Christmas cheer! - Hic! Maybe a bit of both?)
These are EXACTLY as they appeared in my inbox. Maybe you have seen some of them? I have HAD to comment on them. I couldn't resist! (cheeky smile)
A MUST HAVE REPROT! - I got this and the pages were all jumbled! Go figure.
Feal the POWER of a $2 bill - I got the 'fealing' my $2 bill was flat and needed recharging!
Home typest needed! Paid weekly! - shouldn't that read, 'Paid weakly?'
CONCREATE-PROOF-EVIDENCE - Yeah! Proof and Evidence that they don't use a dictionary.
Wanna Make Some MONE??? - Well yes, but I would have said 'moan!'
Start 2003 with your Own Candle Business - This person has been in the dark for 2 years!
CONGRATUNATION YOU ARE A WINNER - Me thinks they got the 'CON' part correct.
PROMOCION - everyone knows this should be PROMOSHUN - sheeeeeesh!
new MLM opertunity!!!!!! - I would have preferred an OPRAHtunity.
Looking For Newbis - Newbies? New Biz?? I am confused!
glodal domain affiliate - is a 'glodal' a global yodel?
and my favorite one of all ...
WE PLACE MEMBERS under you - Well I joined and waited and waited and waited! I'm shattered! LOL
Please try REAL HARD to make sure that your spelling is correct in your Safelist postings as well as you Ezine Ads. These types of errors indicate unprofessionalism in the highest order. Remember, your fate is in your own hands. Don't let yourself down. (Another DaWizzerism =:o)
FEEDBACK/COMMENTS
A little P.S. to fellow Ezine Editors. Feel free to use these in your ezines if you want a filler. Just add my tag if you would be so kind.
I just gotta share these with all of you. Absolutely, a MUST VIEW and participate.

There are secret rooms all throughout the DOSE Academy, as you would expect there to be in any fine castle, and all contain something a little different and are deserving of a quick viewing. They might not change every issue, but you won't know until you look. * smiles * Please feel free to visit any or all of the following. (You might get a pleasant surprise!) DOSE JOKES (updated) or try DOSE FUNNY PICTURES (updated) If you want to give your 'senses' a bit of a workout, visit DOSE OPTICAL ILLUSIONS (no totally correct answers received yet) or perhaps DOSE TRIVIA (no-one has been even game to send me an answer for this).
Oh dear! I put the word 'updated' next to the ones I have updated so I could remember to upload the new pages. I seem to have left them in here. Oh well. You don't have to guess now! *smiles* Have fun! Enjoy!
DaWiz's Online Angels

Below is a listing of Ezines that you would be VERY WISE to subscribe to. Each one is compiled by an Online Angel. I am proud to be associated with every one of them and each of their Ezines offer something different and very unique.
These lady editors have become my online friends - some for over 5 years and others more recently. Apart from their friendship, they have ALL given me their support, guidance, encouragement and motivation to continue in my efforts on the Internet. Yes, THEY are the ones responsible for me being here. *DaWiz smiles and a tiny tear trickles down his cheek *
Following are the links to Subscribe to their Ezines. They are in alphabetical order, NOT any order of importance, as EACH is as important as the other.
Please Note: Anna @ NJAE is having power AND computer problems and probably won't be back online until early next year.

~ Tracing 'once knowns,' whether they want to be found or not! ~
Held in the Solar (Private sitting room)
I don't know about you, but I often sit and wonder where certain actors, actresses, singers, etc., have disappeared to. Every once in awhile, their name shows up in a newspaper clipping or news story on TV, so I thought it might make interesting reading for you. I have devoted a separate page to this topic. Please click on the link to view the CURRENT WHERE ARE THEY NOW? page. Previous WATN pages are accessible from the current page.

~ The place set aside for YOUR Feedback ~
Also held in the Solar so you don't have to move
I have chosen NOT to put everyone's feedback in here because there was a lot. Again, I thank ALL of those who took the time to email me and congratulate me on presenting something that was unique, different, entertaining, comical, well presented, humorous, and interesting. That's a summary of the uplifting comments that I received.
Every Ezine Editor has links in their ezines for feedback. Please let them know how you feel about their ezine, or at least participate in their competitions and/or surveys. I now know FIRST HAND, the feelings experienced knowing that people are ACTUALLY READING what you have lovingly prepared, sometimes to the detriment of other things that maybe should have been done.
It's like when you were a child and heard the school bell ring at the end of the day, signalling it was time to go home. Do you remember that feeling? Pass that feeling onto others and enrich THEIR lives as well as enriching YOUR OWN.
If you wish to place an Ad in DOSE, please visit the ADVERTISING link for all of the details.
That's the SECOND Edition done and dusted. I hope you feel you have achieved something by reading this Edition of DOSE. Feel free to send any comments to me using either the links supplied on each individual item, by using the Link at the bottom of this page, or by completing my short survey which you will find HERE. It will use your email client to send it to me.
