Welcome to Heimdall Net's

Home Page
A site for everyone who wants to use the 'net more effectively.

Welcome. This site is written for you, whether you're an internet 'newbie', relatively experienced or even a regular user of online services and sites.

It is probably best to get something out of the way right now,.. there is nowhere on this site for you to give me money (unless you really really want to, in which case, I am sure we can find a way - see Scam and Cons).

If you find the information here useful, then please use the links I provide within this site to go to the different sites. This generates a small commission for me which will hopefully eventually cover the costs of my time, server time etc. in building and hosting this site.
The commissions come form the vendors and are not added to the top of whatever price you find. To see more about how this works, have a look at the Making Money on the Web section (after reading about the essentials though!)

Keeping it simple, sweetheart!

Icons (little pictures) on the left side margin of the text will help you find information specific to your interest level and experience.

	When you see the dummy, this is something for internet newbies. This is the sort of stuff we all wish we had been able to find out to make the learning curve a whole lot 'flatter'!
	This funny looking fellow means the information is more for those who have been playing around for a while but are still learning. Other People's Experience is the cheapest you can gain! Information here is for the intermediate user who is getting on the net regularly but still might have a few things to learn to play smarter and safer.
	Owls denote information which is written more for the veteran internet user and will focus directly and with more details and less explanations on subjects maybe a little past the needs of other readers.
	A globe indicates some pretty important stuff that we should all be aware of or remember, no matter how experienced a net user we are.
	We have seen the movies, heard the rumours, read the newspaper stories and heard "what happened to a friend of mine". When you see a shark, the information is about keeping you safe. Read these paragraphs carefully and don't get bitten!
	The Judges' gavel highlights information on what to do if a shark has had a nibble on you. These paragraphs focus on problem and dispute resolution processes and measures

The easiest way to get started is to start at the top of the menu bar on the left side of this page and learn about The Essentials first.

There is nowhere on this site for you to give me money! If you find my information useful and feel motivated to purchase a recommended product, please use the links on the pages as the vendors offer a small commission for referrals and this is how I can afford to spend the time building this site. The products will always be the same price whether you use these links or "Google" to the vendors directly - please support this site and use the links provided.

Who or What is Heimdall:

Reproduced here from the Encyclopedia Mythica™ is a summary by Micha F. Lindemans

I chose Heimdall as the identity of this site as it is my desire to see the advice herein protecting all from harm on the net as much as is possible.

The idea of a naming my site after a protector encompasses this desire.

Heimdall © Encyclopedia Mythica™ (Norse)

Heimdall is the god of light, the son of nine mothers (variously given as the daughters of Geirrendour the Giant or of Aegir). He was born at the end of the world and raised by the force of the earth, seawater and the blood of a boar. Because of his shining, golden teeth he is also called Gullintani ("gold tooth"). His hall is Himinbjorg, The Cliffs of Heaven, and his horse is Gulltop. Heimdall carries the horn Gjallar.

He is the watchman of the gods and guards Bifrost, the only entrance to Asgard, the realm of the gods. It is Heimdall's duty to prevent the giants from forcing their way into Asgard. He requires less sleep than a bird and can see a hundred miles around him, by night as well as by day. His hearing is so accurate that no sound escapes him: he can even hear the grass grow or the wool on a sheep's back. At the final conflict of Ragnarok he will kill his age-old enemy, the evil god Loki, but will die himself from his wounds.

As the god Rig ("ruler"), Heimdall created the three races of mankind: the serfs, the peasants, and the warriors. It is interesting to note why Heimdall fathered them, and not Odin as might be expected. Furthermore, Heimdall is in many attributes identical with Tyr.
