      <title>Introduction to the Internet and eCommerce</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Each year I volunteer a few hours of my time to speak to a group of individuals interested in starting their own business as part of the &lt;a href="http://www.readingscore.com"&gt;Reading &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SCORE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; program. It&amp;#8217;s always great to see new entrepreneurs and to relay whatever little nuggets of experience I might have gained during my trials and tribulations starting a company (or two).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I speak for a short time about the basics of building a website for your start-up business and then I answer questions. I&amp;#8217;ve been using the same presentation now for ages. (I don&amp;#8217;t even recall if I created it or if it was given to me.) But it was in need a refresh.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;So I&amp;#8217;ve drafted a whole new version which is more my style &amp;#8211; less boring bullets and more basic points and pictures to help trigger me to recall things and prompt questions.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;For those that attended, you can &lt;a href="http://blog.kineticweb.com/files/score_internet_slides.zip"&gt;download the slides here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
