Q - Who writes the articles we see on BronxWorld?
A - Anyone may contribute articles for publication on BronxWorld! Some of our content is contributed by local writers, the rest is by contract with various publishing houses. If you think you have written something that may interest our viewers, you are welcome to submit your materials at anytime. The decision to publish lies solely with our editors.

Q - Do you answer questions about computers?
A - The email we receive contains just about anything on everything. We answer all of it on a one to one basis. If we receive enough email on one particular subject, we may eventually set up a special area to cover that topic or interest. In the meantime, post your questions and answers on our Community Bulletin Board.

Q - Does BronxWorld advertise merchants only located in the Bronx?
A - Although our focus is the Bronx, you'll find a number of our clients have storefronts outside the borough or have multiple locations and wish to be represented on BronxWorld.

Q - The wife and I work from home. I build lawn furniture in the winter and we sell them at Flea Markets in the summer. It’s sort of a small operation and traveling is starting to wear on us…
A- Your can place a display ad or take advantage of a Free listing with us. No one knows your business better than you. We can only suggest advertising as a possible avenue to both increase your sales and expand your business coverage.

Q - Is a Free business listing really Free, or am I going to be bombarded with a ton of solicitations to buy something from you.
A- A Free business listing IS Free, but lunch you will have to pay for! We will periodically ask if you wish to expand your presence on BronxWorld twice per year.

Q - I may have to return an item I purchased at one of your online stores. How do I go about it?
A- All transactions made at our online stores are totally controlled by them individually. Each store has the departmental setups to handle any customer situations. Link to the particular store through BronxWorld and contact the particular department at that store to resolve your situation. We have listed the telephone numbers of our affiliates on the Customer Support Page.

Q - I received an E-Mail telling me I have a greeting card waiting for me somewhere but don’t know how to get it.
A- Free BronxWorld Greeting Cards can be sent and viewed from our greeting card page. ((Use the button on our Home page or the listing on the Daily Outlook page.)) The Number you received in your E –Mail has to be typed or cut and pasted into the View box in order to display both the card and who sent it.

Q - I think I won the Lotto!!!
A- We’re happy for you and sad we can’t charge you to find out if you’ve won. (If you did win – we could all use a raise here, Thanks!)

Q - I already have a business listing provided by my franchise chain, why should I list with BronxWorld.
A- A delicate question to answer but here it goes. If I am doing business in a local town, THAT town would be the place I need an advertisement. The priorities of a franchise chain are generally to project the merits of the chain, NOT a particular store. If you were looking for you - where would you look first?

Q - How is it that the photos I sent in for the Photo Gallery look different on screen than the originals?
A- To keep a long story short. We do have to sort of manipulate the photo to a degree to conform to an electronically reproducible and transmittable format in order for the photo to both fit and display on the most common installed base of computer systems without obvious distortions and resolution loss. Not all of the photos we receive are sent in on disk. Some prints sent in must be scanned, first in a number of resolutions, (hoping to nail the median pixel density for clarity) without losing the primary subject definition, and second, cropped to line up and be positioned in exact screen allocations. Then…the photo has to be compressed for fast downloading to your computer screen. (Remember – this was the short answer!)

Q - Do you accept manuscripts for publication?
A- You really didn’t write in enough for us to be sure we can answer your question fully, but here goes: The editor has the say on what text is published on BronxWorld. So by "manuscript" do you mean a book – (that we might publish in installments?) – A training manual? An essay? If you're looking to send in an article, these are usually informative pieces on his or her profession from industry professionals, such as, an auto mechanic, a dentist, an attorney, etc. We can publish an original newsletter, if its content is both informative, relevant, entertaining etc. (This to be decided in part by visitors to this website, and within BronxWorld publishing guidelines.) (We’ll send this one upstairs and see what we can do to answer this one in greater detail – original scripts – first publishing rights – second publishing rights, etc, etc.)

Q - I already have a page on (deleted). I made it myself. Can I do the same on BronxWorld?
A- Well…….We applaud your initiative, more power to you! Many of our clients happen to already have a page up somewhere. However, one of our tasks is to have our viewers get to our clients, stores, etc, in as few mouse clicks as possible. (No one wants to type in loooooooong web addressees.)

NOTE: A "Personal Page" project has been in the works for awhile now. First thing is setting up an area on our server AND coming up with a program for non-programmers by which they can design their own web page. That second part, right now, is a bit involved. As soon as we can get that one off the ground, you’ll hear about it.

Q - Sometimes I get into BronxWorld and everything’s cool, I get to a friends house and its a whole different story.
A- We hear you guy! Viewing BronxWorld and other sites on different computers does make you wonder sometimes. The answer is that: different Browsers interpret different program code differently. Right now there really isn’t a uniform standard for viewing web content the same way on every computer. Each Browser AND each version of each Browser will display the average web page differently. ((Even the programming codes available to us change in relation to what and how we try to publish.))

Q - I’ve been using my old CD’s for coasters and now find my last drink burned a second hole in a CD I really liked. Any suggestions?
A-
1 - Definitely water down your next drink.
2 - Wait until they come out with a 2000x (speed) CD player, then the second hole shouldn’t make a difference.
3 - Mouse over to our CDNow store and order another copy of your favorite CD. ((A little commercial there.))

Q - I need to find a lead singer and maybe a backup drummer for a band I’m starting, any ideas?
A- At the prices we charge for advertisements, you should be able to assemble an orchestra for under fifty bucks. For finding the people you need – place your ad in our Classified section, for getting the word out about your band – have us put up a page, some text like type of music you play, names of the people in the group , a logo, what have you, further down the road have us publish your club date schedules, locations, etc.
