I’m continuing my week of back to school with some great back to school downloads.  First up is WordWeb.  WordWeb is a Dictionary, Thesaurus, Word finder that will work in almost any program.  If you are typing something up in say your WordPress Dashboard, you can highlight the word and find references quickly and easily.  [...]

With Fall fast approaching “Back-to-School” is in the air.  When I was going to school the internet was definitely not what it is today.  While there is still a lot to be said about libraries and actual books on paper, the digital age is here.  Doing research, or getting help with your homework online though [...]

My personal Facebook page is just that.  A place where I post personal information about my friends, family and life in general.  My cell phone number is listed there, among several other personal items.  I only accept friend requests from people who I have actually met, and know personally.  Sometimes, however, it comes time to [...]
