Weebly website review

Ok so far its worked really well for my second website. They were able to get to my second site but by that time I figured it would not be worth my time changing it because of the Xmas season.

Still its a good starter site for anyone who wants start their own business online.

A free online website host for your business called weebly review

This is my review about this web authoring tool which allows a user to create a website with little or no html or web programming experience. The tool is pretty easy to use and they allow you to build two sites for free with a small footer telling people what powers the website.

Its a pretty good deal for those looking for a cheap way to start their business or to start a blog. I was able to transfer one of my domains which is a simple t shirt business I run from home with no problems.

The second site I created was a disspointment. I tried to switch the URL to point to the new site and had issues. So I sent a help ticket with little help on their end. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a different story if not I will have to revert to my old godaddy service. I can build simple sites but a drag and drop website application seemed to do everything I need with such little time. I will keep you update if I do get help from their customer support. So far there seems to be none.

Anyway check out weebly

The new Features for Apple's Iphone next generation

Iphone Ghost Radar Classic Ap

If you like to dab in the paranormal then check out the free ap on your iphone subscription called ghost radar.

I've downloaded it for fun and supposeably it tells you where the ghost are from your location with a graphical radar.

The application states that ghost can communicate with the iphone application by posting words on the phone. At one time this iphone application would say the actual words on your speaker but i guess if you buy the updated version it will have this feature.

I tried this iphone ap and when I was drinking a glass of milk it posted milk. Weird hum ? lol

anyway if you got nothing better to download on your iphone try it out.

Interesting social Media website to connect all your social needs

Twitter, Facebook, myspace, delicious ect. Now you can access all of these by accessing one account. Which is cool if your updating your profiles mobily with one click of the button.

Anyway check out the site its pretty interesting.

Microsoft Office alternative.

Chances are if you got a new windows computer you may have a version of Microsoft office which may not work with Windows 7.

So what to do when you can't open a microsoft word document your friend has sent you hum?

You could go to the store or online and pay 200 -400 dollars for the suite or you can
save yourself some money and use a free open source program called open office.

Its a free alternative to Microsoft's Office suite is Open Office. I tested a few files from Microsoft's Microsoft Word and its Powerpoint and it translates the files easily meaning you can open the file.

Anyway on the next blog I will go over some of the features for open office so stay tune.

A photoshop like program worth looking at.

A few weeks ago I ran into this cool software program called Sumopaint

Its free to use online with the option to download the program onto your computer

for around 25 dollars which is not a bad deal. If your familiar with photoshop then you

will understand how layers work with this software.

Its a cool tool to use and what I love about it is even if your not at your own computer

you can still use the program without any installation. So look for it sumopaint

Hard bounce soft bounce what is it?

If your dabbing in email marketing then these two terms you will need to be familiar with.

Lets first start with a hard bounce.

A hard bounce is when an email is sent to a recipient and comes back as undeliverable.
Normally when this happens its because the email address is no longer in use or an invalid email address to begin with.

A soft bounce on the other hand is when email comes back as well as undeliverable but its sometimes due to the reciepents email box being full. So this may just be that the reciepent has not cleaned their email box.

Plain and simple so when you send out an email newsletter check to see what these two are to clean your email list.

Ipad from Apple Review

I had a look at the IPad from Apple and I got some mix reviews over it. First lets talk about
the operating system it has. If you want to look at two applications it pretty much wont allow you because of the storage space as well as the processor speed.

That being said if your looking at getting a kindle then you may want to look at Apple's Ipad. Your able to download books and read them as if they were real books which is cool feature. Unlike the kindle which is a black and white interface, the pages in the ipad are in color.

The Apple's Ipad other faults is I wish it had a usb connection so I can upload other content such as music, pdfs ect. Its a sleek design but in summary seems like an oversize iphone.

I'm sure they will improve on the ipad but I think they needed to work on this one a little more before releasing it to the public. Thats just my 2 cents on the new ipad from Apple. Looking forward to the upgraded version.
