Online Booking And Payment Software
The web has opened the door to online booking and payment with regard to scheduled actions.
Before the emergence of the internet, reserving and paying for appointments was a undertaking which required one to possibly go to or even telephone to make the reservation.
One example of a enterprise one might want to book a scheduled appointment with is a Driving instructor. Having located the driving school using a medium such as yellow pages, a telephone call then ensues and subsequently an appointment made.
If one was unable to telephone to book a driving lesson one was required to pay a visit to the Driving School premises in order to schedule one.
All very well but there are disadvantages to using the telephone. It is possible that the telephone is (read more)

Keyword Snatcher Goes Live - No comment (Add comment)
You are searching for information on keywords, congratulations, this post contains information about a powerful new software that is unsurpassed in it's ability to find those keywords that searchers are looking for on the internet.
The free google adwords keyword tool is what many millions of webmasters and bloggers use to unearth keywords and phrases. Problem is that with so many millions of people to compete with, your task of creating content and ranking in the search engines for it is made harder.
Jonathan Leger has created a solution - Keyword Snatcher - but only a lucky few thousand people are ever likely to get their hands on it due to limited availability.
Keyword Snatcher is only available for the period 21st June 2010 to 25th June 2010. If you have found this page after 25th June, I am sorry, the ability to get your hands on Keyword Snatcher will have gone.
Keyword Snatcher - Find niche markets nobody else knows about.
Powerful New Software Finds Untapped Niches That Other Webmasters Are Overlooking!
ONLY AVAILABLE From Monday, June 21st Through Friday, June 25th, 2010.Created by Jonathan Leger, this new keyword harvesting software is outstanding in it's ability to find the keywords and phrases that searchers are looking for.Read what some user's of the software have said about it:-
I've been a customer of Jon's for years and have come to expect excellence from his products. His software tools are brilliant and save me loads of time.
Keyword Snatcher is no exception. I've been using other tools for keyword research and the results have been lame, to put it kindly. A few minutes with Keyword Snatcher produces results that I can't get in hours on the other tools, plus it grabs keywords from Yahoo and Bing as well as the Big "G".
The Niche Generator tool alone is worth the price of admission.
John Sawyer
I'm very impressed with how versatile Keyword Snatcher really is, with regard to how fast it pulls in over 3,000 keywords on my chosen niche and how "up to par" these keywords truly are.
I've purchased all your software and I have to say this is another sleek piece of software you've manifested indeed!
Please keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Dr. John ChenThis keyword tool is a breeze to use and quickly produces bucketloads of keywords for you to put into use.
I have used other keyword tools but this one does produce a comprehensive list of keywords along side of which are the details of where they rank in the Google, Yahoo and Bing popularity lists.
These are the suggestions that appear when you are typing your keyword into the the search engines. You can if you wish just opt for just one of those search engines.
Even if you have other keyword tools this one will be a good addition.
nige evansI'm loving this Software Jon...I've been using the new software and am finding lot's of keywords in my niches that I just didn't have before! I've got more than I know what to do with to be honest!
This is a cool tool simple to use and best of all beats Google's freebie KW tool hands down for great phrases! Support brilliant as always.
Lynne IvattWhat an Eye Opener!So many products in the internet marketing niche are heralded as "game changers" yet they prove to be nothing more substantive than a flash crowd, gone from the scene before you know it.
With Keyword Snatcher, Jon has TRULY produced an absolutely remarkable tool. It is not only destined to be a genuine game changer, I predict that ultimately Jon's Keyword Snatcher home run will be a Hall of Fame inductee.
Jim NavaryDoes Jon Leger Ever Sleep?Every time I think Jon has developed the perfect tool he moves ahead and trumps himself again. This time he has made a definite home run. I set up dozens of blogs to run with automatic software. I have been using two of the most popular paid keyword tools to search for keywords and at most usually get a list of around 180 or so.
The more keywords I can add the better traffic I can receive. Jon's new Keyword Snatcher has the ability to find hundreds and in many cases thousands of longtail keywords automatically in minutes. But the tool does so much more.
You will ignore this tool at your peril.
You have to see it to believe it. I understand this will be a limited release product. Make sure to check it out before it is gone.
What an ingenious and valuable tool. I've been spending way too much time looking for keyword phrases to have articles written about on a niche I'm working on.Jon offered a beta version of Keyword Snatcher to me, so I figured I'd give it a try. I was able to find not quite 300 keyword phrases using the Google tool.
Then I started up Keyword Snatcher, typed in my 2 word root phrase, clicked one button, and 20 minutes later it had returned 1291 phrases. The beauty of it is that only 400 of them were found on Google, the rest were from Yahoo and Bing (mostly Yahoo).
This is great, and is now my go-to keyword tool!
Dennis BeckerI can't believe how many more decent keywords that the Snatcher found compared to when I had only used the Big Boy's keyword tool. Really helped get my creative juices flowing for new custom articles.Richard KilleyBefore Jon came out with Keyword Snatcher I used to manually try and find these keywords. Obviously that is a hit and miss process and I missed tons of keywords that way.Now, with Keyword Snatcher digging down into niches and finding great keywords has become a one click process. I was amazed on the first time I sparked it up it returned over 30 keywords that I had missed for my niche.
Truly a great tool and a real time saver like all Jon's tools.
Leanne KingI ran several keywords through the Keyword Snatcher and a similar software currently on the market. Keyword Snatcher pulled almost double the number of keyword phrases as the competitor. These were not junk keywords but useful phrases I can use to build and expand my content. It's fast too.Thanks for continuing to build valuable tools for us "non-techy" internet marketers.

Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructors
This article, written by John Giel, a Driving Instructor, is about Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructors and has been written for the benefit of those who use them, namely learner drivers and newly qualified drivers.
Firstly, a little bit of information about the Driving Standards Agency:-
The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is one of the executive agencies that forms the Motoring and Freight Services group, within the Department for Transport (DfT). It operates within the United Kingdom.
They are a Trading Fund with planned turnover of £190 million in 2009/10, fully funded through fees and revenue from other road safety initiatives.
They are a national organisation delivering tests from over 400 driving test centres and 140 theory test centres.
They have statutory responsibility for setting standards and conducting theory and practical driving tests. They are also responsible for:
•the statutory regulation of driving instructors and trainers
•the promotion of voluntary registers and non-statutory activities to improve driving standards
There is loads more information about the DSA which you can view if you visit dsa.gov.uk
Secondly, a little bit of information about Approved Driving Instructors:-
Approved Driving Instructors (ADI's)
In order to be able to give driving instruction in return for payment, a driving instructor needs to be on the statutory Register of Approved Driving Instructors. The only exception to this is if he or she holds a trainee licence to give instruction, issued by the ADI Registrar. Details of Trainee Licenses and Potential Driving Instructors (PDI's) can be found on the dsa.gov.uk website. The Register of Approved Driving Instructors was introduced in 1970 in the interests of road safety and consumer protection.
The Register is maintained by the DSA under the provisions of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Before inclusion on the Register, prospective instructors have to pass a series of exams administered by the DSA.
The DSA also carries out check tests on registered ADIs and inspects ADI training establishments that wish to belong to the Official Register of Driver Instructor Training (ORDIT) scheme.
In order to enable Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructors to be found on the internet my company has developed a website, http://www.dsaadi.com which is intended to bring together, from around the United Kingdom, as many Approved Driving Instructors as possible.
On the dsaadi.com website there is a facility that enables Approved Driving Instructors to create a personal profile, telling readers of their profile as much or as little about themselves as they choose.
Ultimately, the dsaadi.com website will contain thousands of pages of information about many aspects that relate to the driving instruction industry.
As a Driving Instructor since 2000, I am well aware of the difficulties that many Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructors face. For example, the independent Driving Instructor seeking new clients in the face of stiff competition from national Driving Schools such as BSM, The AA, Red Driving School etc. The amount of money that many ADI's spend on advertising in publications like Yellow Pages, Thomson Local, local newspapers etc.
The dsaadi.com website could alleviate many of the costs associated with running a small Driving School. It could make it easy for learner drivers to find driving instructors locally. The provision of the Profile feature could help new drivers make an informed decision about the Driving Instructor they would like to learn with.
At the time of writing this article, March 2010, http://www.dsaadi.com is still very much in it's infancy. There is much to do.
In the fullness of time, nearly all aspects of what the Driving Standards Agency oversee, will be provided for by the dsaadi.com website. Provision for new learner drivers to study for and practise Theory and Hazard Perception Tests. Tips and information on many aspects of driving. Articles covering a vast array of subjects, answering many questions to do with or related to driving.
Approved Driving Instructors will also be catered for. We are looking at ways to help with managing Appointments Diaries, enabling new drivers to book driving lessons with Driving Instructors. Methods of automating some functions that could be beneficial such as SMS text messaging, reminding clients of booked driving lessons in order to minimise 'no shows'.
It's very early days and we have a long way to go but I want to finish this article with the following words:-
Vision allows you to see further down the road...Focus allows you to enhance what is on the journey, but ACTION is the only thing that will get you there!

A recent development I have been working on is my website for Approved Driving Instructors.
The idea behind the venture is to make it possible for all driving instructors that have been approved by the Driving Standards Agency for the United Kingdom, to be able to advertise their services.
Having been a driving instructor for over ten years I am well aware of the costs associated with advertising. As you probably know, advertising normally comes at a cost. For example even a small advert in Yellow Pages can cost several hundred pounds.
http://www.dsaadi.com is a FREE ADVERTISING RESOURCE but only for Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructors.
The first step for an ADI is to register on the website and create a basic profile. There is no charge to do this and yet as the website becomes established the PROFILE pages will become regularly viewed and Approved Driving Instructors will gain new clients.
As I and a colleague develop software which will further benefit DSA Approved Driving Instructors the software we develop will be offered to registered members.
In the meantime, if you are a fully qualified and registered ADI, visit Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructors and register. It cost nothing but a few minutes of your time!

Driver Training In Arbroath - 6 comments
Driver Training in Arbroath
The first step to learning to drive is to obtain a provisional licence. You can do this from the age of 16, but you will only be able to ride a motorcycle. From 17 you can start to learn in a car.
Part of the process of learning to drive is understanding theory. The theory test is currently 50 questions of which 43 must be correct. In addition there is a hazard perception test which involves watching 14 pre recorded video clips which contains 15 hazards. You need to identify these hazards and currently (May 2008) the pass score is 44 out of 75.
There is a lot to learn when you set out to obtain a driving licence. What is most important is that you realise that you have a responsibiltity when in control of a vehicle that is powerful and can cause injury and death if handled incorrectly. Within the text of this post are sections taken from The Driving Syllabus, The Theory Test, Driving Skills and Show Me Tell Me questions.
Syllabus Element:- Controls and Instruments - To be in control of your car or vehicle you need to be familiar with the controls and instruments. Indicators, light switches, wipers etc. are all controls you need to know how to use together with such items as fog lights, rear window heater etc. Good drivers are those that know all about their vehicle.
You can be assured that 2Pass.eu Driving School do not use trainee instructors, all our instructors are fully qualified.
Driving Skill:- Can you drive with reasonable restraint without being hesitant? Is your judgement of speed and distance accurate? These are skills a good driver possesses.
An example of a hazard may be a bus stopping at a bus stop. You have to be observant for pedestrians trying to cross the road.
Examples of hazards could be - Hidden Road Junctions - Vehicles changing/merging lanes - Pedestrians exiting vehicles.
RANDOM THEORY QUESTION
As a driver what does the term 'BLIND SPOT' mean? Choose one of the following.
a) An area covered by your right-hand mirror.
b) An area not covered by your headlamps.
c) An area covered by your left-hand mirror.
d) An area not seen in your mirrors.
Answer - d.
Hazardous situations could be - Pedestrians crossing the road - Cyclists - Weather Conditions - Meeting oncoming vehicles (country lanes, narrow roads)
What is the Hazard Perception Test? The Hazard Perception Test (HPT) became part of the Theory Test in 2002, it makes up the second half of your theory test and involves watching a series of video clips and clicking the mouse when a hazard is identified.
Show Me Tell Me Question:- Tell me how you would check the tyres to show that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road. Answer - A safe tyre will have no cuts or bulges. The tread depth should be at least 1.6mm across the central 3/4s of the breadth of the tyre and around the entire outer circumference.
To do well you need determination and the correct attitude, add this to plenty of practise and the outcome is success!

Learning To Drive In An Automatic - No comment (Add comment)
Learning to drive in an automatic car is the choice of many new drivers. In the first place, it is much easier to learn in an automatic car than it is in a manual car. Secondly there is an ever growing choice of automatic cars to select from.
The downside to learning to drive in an automatic car in the UK is that one is restricted to driving an automatic. If you pass your test in a manual car you can drive both manual and automatic.
With such a large number of automatics on British roads you will not have difficulty in finding one in your price bracket. Websites such as Ebay and Gumtree offer value selections and of course there are all the Auto Trader style websites providing information on thousands of cars in all parts of the country.
My Driving School is based in Dundee in Scotland and I teach both Manual and Automatic. Often I will start a client off in a manual car, however if there is difficulty with changing gears and using the clutch, my clients have the option of switching over to an automatic.
On my 2Pass.eu website there are many articles about learning to drive in an automatic. Please feel free to browse the 2Pass.eu website and read some of them.

2Pass.eu Driving School and BioDiesel - No comment (Add comment)
Apart from the cost of the car, fuel is the next greatest expense.
In order to run your car you need to fill up the tank with expensive fuel. In my case it is diesel as I have been using diesel cars for many years.
2Pass.eu Driving School is a venture I am involved with together with two colleagues one of whom is a programmer and software developer, the other a businessman with various interests.
Over the past few months I have been taking a serious interest in BioDiesel which is a by product of vegetable oil. If you are interested to know more do a search on BioDiesel, there is masses of information.
The importance to me and 2Pass.eu Driving School is to be in more control of one of the greatest expenses of running our cars.
In a couple of weeks time, early July 2008, we are taking delivery of a processing unit that is capable of making biodiesel. Initially I will house the biodiesel processor in a garage with a view to moving it to a unit in Dundee.
The importance to 2Pass.eu Driving School is that having the capacity to produce our own fuel will enable us to remain competitive with our driving lesson prices. Obviously this only applies if our driving instructors are driving diesel cars.
After we have taken delivery of the biodiesel processor I will provide an update. In order to ensure that the update is accurate I will probably delay it by a few months to allow time to become comfortable with the processor and the methods employed in converting vegetable oil into diesel.

Dundee Driving School
From the age of 16 you can have a provisional licence and can learn on a motorcycle. In order to learn in a car, at present you need to have reached 17.
Below, I list some of the items from the driving syllabus.
Syllabus element:- Moving Off - When moving off from the side of a road it is important to Prepare the car, Observe all around you, Move off if it is safe to do so once you have checked your blind spot.
Syllabus Element:- Controls and Instruments - To be in control of your car or vehicle you need to be familiar with the controls and instruments. Indicators, light switches, wipers etc. are all controls you need to know how to use together with such items as fog lights, rear window heater etc. Good drivers are those that know all about their vehicle.
Syllabus Element:- Cockpit Drill - When learning to drive it is most important that you know how to set up the car in order that you are seated comfortably and can reach and see all of the controls.
Syllabus element:- Meeting Other Traffic - If there is an obstruction on your side of the road or not enough room for two vehicles to pass safely, be prepared to wait and let approaching vehicle through. When you turn right across the path of an approaching vehicle, make sure you can do so safely. Be careful not to cause other road users to slow down, stop or swerve to avoid you.
Syllabus Element:- Moving Off On A Hill - Similar to moving off from the side of a road with the addition of sufficient power to prevent the vehicle rolling back when the handbrake is released. So the procedure would be to Prepare the car by ensuring correct gear selected and power applied, Observe all around you including blind spot, finally, release hand brake and Move off.
Syllabus Element:- Stopping - Any change of speed or direction requires that you observe the MSM routine. M stands for Mirror or mirrors, S stands for signal if required, the second M stands for the Manouevre you are to carry out. So if for example you are required to pull over you should check your interior and left mirrors, signal left, move to the left side of the road and brake to a smooth halt.
2Pass.eu Driving School combines driving instructors from around the country, many of whom have several years of experience.
Dundee will have one or more 2Pass.eu Driving Instructors starting from 1st January 2009.
A good driver needs to possess many things which can be broken down into a few categories. Knowledge of Theory, an understanding of the Driving Skills you need to acquire, and appreciation of the Driving Syllabus and ability to carry out all that these require. Included in this article are random extracts from the Theory Test, Show Me Tell Me questions, Driving Syllabus and Driving Skills.
Driving Skill:- Can you drive with reasonable restraint without being hesitant? Is your judgement of speed and distance accurate? These are skills a good driver possesses.
Show Me Tell Me Question:- Show me how you would check the parking brake for excessive wear. Answer - Apply the parking brake. When it is fully applied it should secure itself.
Dundee Driving School is a post on the Tipsfest Blog.
From the age of 16 you can have a provisional licence and can learn on a motorcycle. In order to learn in a car, at present you need to have reached 17.
Below, I list some of the items from the driving syllabus.
Syllabus element:- Moving Off - When moving off from the side of a road it is important to Prepare the car, Observe all around you, Move off if it is safe to do so once you have checked your blind spot.
Syllabus Element:- Controls and Instruments - To be in control of your car or vehicle you need to be familiar with the controls and instruments. Indicators, light switches, wipers etc. are all controls you need to know how to use together with such items as fog lights, rear window heater etc. Good drivers are those that know all about their vehicle.
Syllabus Element:- Cockpit Drill - When learning to drive it is most important that you know how to set up the car in order that you are seated comfortably and can reach and see all of the controls.
Syllabus element:- Meeting Other Traffic - If there is an obstruction on your side of the road or not enough room for two vehicles to pass safely, be prepared to wait and let approaching vehicle through. When you turn right across the path of an approaching vehicle, make sure you can do so safely. Be careful not to cause other road users to slow down, stop or swerve to avoid you.

2Pass.eu Driving School - No comment (Add comment)
The pilot scheme for 2Pass.eu Driving School went live on 1st June, 2008.
For the next 7 months I will be carrying on my normal role as a Driving Instructor whilst putting to the test the methods we are incorporating into 2Pass.eu Driving School.
2Pass.eu Driving School is an association between me, C J Giel, Colin Edwards and Doug Barker.
Colin is a programmer and developer and it is his task to develop the 2 Pass website which we will put live sometime early in 2009. Currently we are running a blog which is building on a daily basis. The website however will contain many features and benefits for both learner drivers and driving instructors alike.
Doug is many things but one thing he does very well is run a motorcycle training operation that covers a large area in Scotland. His role within 2Pass.eu Driving School is varied but includes integrating motorcycle training with driving instruction.
My role is also varied, from contributing content to websites that promote 2Pass.eu Driving School to physically conducting day to day driving instruction for learner drivers.
Over the coming months, Colin, Doug and I will meet regularly to discuss progress and I will keep you informed of where we stand and if we are likely to be in a position to launch our 2Pass.eu Driving School Franchise during the early part of 2009.
One of the key factors is the development of certain functions that the website must be able to process. The good news on this front is that I recently got a message from Colin informing me that he was making good progress. So fingers crossed!!!

Recollections Of A Driving Instructor - No comment (Add comment)
Readers of this blog will be aware that we have recently started a new Driving School. The Driving School is called 2Pass.eu and there is a 2Pass.eu Blog at http:www.2Pass.eu.
Over the past nine years I have had many interesting, sometimes humorous, experiences.
In order to make the 2Pass.eu website interesting I have included a Category on it titled 'Recollections' and here I will record some of my experiences of the past 9 years.
As we grow I will invite other driving instructors to relate their experiences.
Whilst there is a fun element to 'Recollections' there will also no doubt be some experiences which can be learnt from.
This short post on Recollections is brought to you by Tipsfest.

Learning To Drive In Dundee - No comment (Add comment)
I have been a Driving Instructor for the past 9 years during which time I have witnessed many changes on British roads. Unfortunately, in most cases not for the better!
The standard of driving in general in Britain is good but it could be so much better.
What amazes me is that the cars we drive are M O T tested every year once the car is older than three years but the driver of the car is never re-tested unless due to loss of licence for whatever reason.
Recently colleagues and I started a new Driving School In Dundee which, as we intend to grow the business, we have called '2Pass.eu' which hopefully people seeing our advertising will read as '2 Pass you' which fits in very nicely as we own the domain name - http://www.2pass.eu
It is my belief that the .eu suffix for domains in europe will outgrow .co.uk
One of my colleagues is a programmer and developer and it is his task to develop a killer website that will enable us to run 2Pass.eu as an Online Driving School Business. Until then I will provide limited information via a blog.

Horse Racing on Saturday 10th May - No comment (Add comment)
Horse Racing Tips and General Info
A lot of action today with horse racing at Ascot, Downpatrick, Haydock, Hexham, Lingfield, Nottingham, Thirsk and Warwick.
At Lingfield the feature race is the 15.10 where Curtain Call is a warm order with many horse racing tips services selecting him. There are already eight of the tips services that we cover that have selected Curtain Call as their horse racing tip. Jamie Spencer, Mark Winstanley, Mike Cattermole, David Milnes, Professional Whispers, Sir Clement Freud, Templegate and Tony Stafford. And it is only 9am!!!
Regular users of Tipsfest should be aware by now that Tipsfest is more than a horse racing tips relay service, we now provide information on anything and eventually everything will be covered. It will probably take a couple of years to reach the point that you can find information on any subject, but that is our aim.
In order to continue providing a horse racing service we have set up two websites. Horse Racing Scene UK is for general information and we post horse racing tips to our membership advertising portal website which is SiteCellar.
If you have yet to join SiteCellar click on Advertising Portal, the free membership registration form is at the bottom of the page.

Choosing A Driving School - No comment (Add comment)
With the latest proposals on learning to drive in the UK, choosing the correct driving school is more important now than ever.
When learning anything, it is good to know that your teacher is properly qualified and competent at passing on to you the information you are required to know.
For this reason only fully qualified DSA registered driving instructors will represent 2Pass Driving School.
At present only new drivers looking for driving schools in Dundee will be catered for. However, as 2Pass grows over the coming year, it is our intention to broaden our horizons and move into additional areas.

Driving Schools In Dundee - 1 comment
Whilst the purpose of this article is to provide information on Dundee Driving Schools I will use this opportunity to inform past members of Tipsfest that the previous services that Tipsfest provided are finished.
We still provide horse racing information via a couple of websites, but Tipsfest as was is now finished.
Back to driving schools in dundee, 2Pass is a relatively new school, you can get some basic information by visiting 2Pass.eu which is a temporary website while the proper website is being built.
2Pass enable you to learn either Manual or Automatic and the Instructors are DSA registered.
