Questioning Online Credibility

Credibility online is becoming more and more of an issue. Anyone can have a blog or post to a forum and anyone can edit wiki entries. Web surfers are beginning to comprehend that just because it is in print does not necessarily mean that it is true. In fact, in today's online world, the collective truth might be the closest thing we can get to the real truth. Peer policing and social bookmarking have become common in the online world.

Human nature invariably prompts a level of trust;if it is written, it must be true. We live in a generation where we expect authors, editors and publishers that are qualified to write on various topics. What qualifications are required to post a blog, write an online article, or edit a wiki? Some web surfers may find the answer startling: None. Expertise is no longer a prerequisite. Wikipedia is a popular online reference, that frequently obtains top ranking in search engines as a reference source. How many Wikipedia readers realize that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone at anytime, regardless of their qualifications.

What Microphones Are Best For Podcasting?
It depends on the type of recording you intend to do. There is a big difference between portable and fixed microphones. If all of your recording will occur in a studio, you can use a fixed microphone and equipment suited to that environment. If you are taking your show on the road, consider whether you want to use a portable directional microphone, or a microphone that will pick up area background sounds.

The curious need not look any further than YouTube to find the latest political constituents being haunted by their own words and dogged by their past missteps. Today's politicians have far less control of the news media and messages associated with their candidacy.

Etiquette for RSS Feeds

Here are some general guidelines for creating RSS Feeds:

1. Enclosures

Include only one enclosure per item for maximum compatibility. The RSS 2.0 specification does not clearly state whether multiple enclosures are allowed or not, but most RSS readers will only support a single enclosure. Therefore, it is best to conform to the readers, and only include a single enclosure in each RSS feed item.

Belize Guest Comments - March 2012


March 3, 2012

Our three days at the Jungle Dome have been wonderful; such fun (the adventures and mingling with the other guests); such comfort (the beds and rooms, and lounging around the delightful pool), and such hospitality (Andy, Simone, Lucas & Aidan, and Rocky & Luke, are all so friendly, they make it feel like a home away from home).

Although this is our third visit to Belize, it is our first to Cayo, and what a pleasure it is to discover this part of this beautiful country.

Many thanks to the Hunt family, to the ladies- the food was delicious and every detail was taken care of in our room- to all the other staff who made the Jungle Dome so special, and particularly to David and Mynor and to the cowboy Sherman, who made me so proud by saying that I was the oldest person who had ever cantered when horse riding with him!

I can ‘ditto’ the above comments. Three great days! What a wonderful visit, such wonderful hospitality, including Aidan & Lucas, who were amazing hosts to my boys Matt & Nick, showing them around and engaging them in all the activities Jungle Dome has to offer ;

  • tree climbing, 
  • frog and lizard hunting & capturing, 
  • basketball, 
  • chicken catching…
 what a unique experience and one to remember! Plus, great food, guides, and accommodation. Thanks you so much for great memories!

Belize Guest Comments - May 2012 - Belize Jungle Dome


19th May, 2012

We can't thank you enough for the amazing week we've had. The Jungle Dome looked great on the website, but it is only when you arrive that you realize what a special place it is. It's rare to find a place in such a beautiful setting with so many places to see and activities to do in such a close distance.

We enjoyed every second; from the horseback ride through the jungle, boat ride down the river, the Black Hole Drop, cave tubing, etc. Also, we are so glad that we spotted a comment in the comment book about David's night time jungle walk- it was brilliant. The overnight stay in the cave was loads of fun too.

Most of all, thank you to Andy, Simone, David, Mynor & the rest of the staff here for making us feel so welcome, comfortable & part of the Jungle Dome family during our stay. Every aspect was amazing and - like I said at the start- we can't thank you enough. You have a special place & we will spread the word in England for you.

 It is sad to leave, but nice to go knowing that we have made so many new friends!

Thanks again, Lee & Natalie, UK


May 21, 2012 Dear Jungle Dome,

Wow! What an amazing week! Jungle Dome far exceeded all of our expectations and the bar high for the rest of our trip. The staff here are amazing and truly made the experience for us. It felt like we were among friends, not resort staff, all week.

The food was incredible, the lodge is beautiful, and the experiences in the jungle were life changing and unforgettable! We will definitely be recommending this place with raving reviews to our friends and family, and hope to make it back here in the future!

Belize Guest Comments - Scott and Tanya from Winston-Salem, North Caroline, USA



The Jungle Dome will always be special in our memories for many reasons:


  •  Friendly staff and excellent food! (Loved the fresh orange juice and the fry jacks for breakfast) 
  • Clean and comfortable room (Loved the fridge and coffee maker) 
  • Beautiful surroundings and wonderful sounds of the jungle (Orange trees, flowers, howler monkeys, horses galloping, and birds, plus roosters too!) 
  • Refreshing pool and relaxing hammocks…aahhhh! 
  • Daytrips to the ruins, cave tubing with David, the Blue Hole to swim, and driving on the beautiful Hummingbird Highway. 
  • Also, the visit to Iguana Conservation Project in San Ignacio, was lots of fun (I think I’ve already taken over 1000 photos in three days)

·         Most importantly, the Jungle Dome will be forever in our memory, because this us where we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. 

Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise in Belize, that we plan on sharing with our own friends and family through stories, pictures, and memories. 

Best wishes for the future,

Scott & Tonya Craver

Waarom de komst van de UEFA-toernooien voor VodafoneZiggo zo belangrijk is

Het belang van het UEFA-voetbal voor VodafoneZiggo kan nauwelijks onderschat worden. Het verlies van Formula 1 en HBO, cord cutting, de gestegen rente en de concurrentie van glasvezel hebben de vrije kasstroom al sterk gereduceerd. Nu komen de programmakosten van UEFA er nog bij...

Daar staan hogere programmakosten tegenover, die wij op jaarbasis met grofweg EUR 200 miljoen zien toenemen...
