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

Creating a favicon with free software

A favicon is an icon that appears on your browser when you go to a specific site.

If you notice on blogger you have a little b icon which was created in icon format.

So use your favorite software and make the dimentions 16x16 pixels

save it in jpeg format and then go to this website to create your icon.

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.
