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

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

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.
