Merry Christmas & Happy Googling!
December 24, 2007
It’s already Christmas Eve… and another year is almost done! I look forward to 2008 with a fresh start with new services to kick off the year.
Every once in awhile, it’s a good idea to Google oneself and learn where you stand out on the web. The new year is a great time to do this - and resolve to do what you can to spiff-up your online image. Money.com has a nice summary about where to start: You’re only as good as Google says you are (Money.com)
Merry Christmas!
Keyboard in the dishwasher? I must try this.
December 14, 2007
Everyone that uses a computer typically (at least some of the time) uses a detached keyboard. The day-to-day abuse it takes and the inevitable cookie crumbs and coffee droplets that get into a keyboard over time can leave any keyboard…well, really disgusting. Aside from the occasional wipe-down with those indispensable Lysol wipes, there has to be some better way…
Turns out, there is… the dishwasher! Be sure to read the comments - this keyboard cleaning trick seems to get good results.
At some point in the near future (when I work up the courage) I will try this and report my results.

Add a Mini-Store to Your TypePad Blog with PayPal Widgets
December 7, 2007
Hosted blogging service TypePad has launched PayPal Widgets, an easy way to embed a little mini-store on your Typepad-powered blog. Log into your TP account, link up your PayPal ID and activate on your chosen weblog just like any other widget.
This blog is hosted by TypePad (along with my Teleclasses.Info blogs)- and although there are other excellent blogging choices, I like TP’s templates, huge widget collection and multi-blog options. The maintenance is zero - another huge selling point with me. I liked working with my old WordPress blog, but got tired of the tinkering.
If you would like to check it out for yourself, TypePad offers a free 14-day trial.
