While surfing the web randomly looking for nice freebies, I chanced upon this website called Newtek. Honestly, the name of this website doesn’t suggest anything nice or creative but it does give an impression of being hi-tech.

Out of curiosity, I visited the website and they do have freebies to give away. As far as I could see, they have a pretty quality collection of textures for download. The catch is that you would have to register as a member of Newtek website or forum to access all these freebies and more.

If you intend to download freebies from Newtek and use them, do check the terms of use first. Some designers may not allow you to use their freebies for commercial purposes.

Speech & Language Freebies

A friend, whose son is slightly autistic, told me that the doctor advised her to take up a short speech course in the capital city so that she could guide her son since at the age of six now, he still could hardly string a full sentence.

I understand from my friend that these courses are obscenely expensive even though the total cost of the course fees are to be shared among the parents who would be participating. But then my friend would also need to take accommodation and transportation costs into consideration since she is an out of town-er. This is why after a year, my friend has yet to enroll in the course.

I came across these speech-language pathology freebies this morning and wonder if these freebie resources would be useful to her. If you are using any of these, please acknowledge copyright owner.

Don’t you just love visiting the websites of graphic designers? I guess, even if the website of blog is non-commercial, the author still needs to make have a really artistic and creative layout to fit the theme of the site. If it’s a commercial site, with freebies, all the more the site has to be really captivating to showcase the talent of the owner.

I found this web designer site called My Grafico while looking for freebies just now. I believe this is the first time I landed on the site. I am pleasantly surprised to have found a whole load of quality freebie graphics. It looks to me like there are many contributing designers.

Win An iPod Touch A Week

Win an iPod a week

My sister tells me that almost everyone in the United States own one model of iPod or another. She, like me, is too cheap to buy her own and is planning to win it. If I could win an iPhone, why can’t she win an iPod touch?

This twitter page is giving away an iPod touch a week and all you need to do to stand a chance to win one of the weekly iPod touch given away is to follow them. So far, it looks like they have given away just one free iPod touch but at this time of writing, there are less than 300 followers only so chances are pretty high if you ask me.

Anyway, it looks to me that this giveaway is only open to residents of the United States. Guess my sister’s in luck!

Win One Year Free Domain

Ever since my WordPress hosted blogs were suspended three weeks ago due to server overload which caused my blogs to be offline, I have been looking for a new host. I shudder to think what would happen to my account if my post was on the front page of Digg.com!

As I was asking around for opinions of friends, coincidentally, I was informed of WordPress Blog Hosting services offered by Mulyoo. This is not your typical blog host like WordPress.com.

No doubt, Mulyoo blogs are also powered by WordPress but Mulyoo actually encourages bloggers to monetize their blogs and make money online. Moreover, Mulyoo uses BuddyPress to integrate social networking into blogs so that bloggers would quickly gain readership and followers. This is especially useful for people who are new to blogging.

Although new Mulyoo blogs are assigned subdomains, Mulyoo is currently running a contest where twenty lucky Mulyoo users who are subscribed to the annual plan will stand a chance to win a domain name for one year with NameCheap.

If you are planning to start a new blog, this is a very good chance to kill two birds with one stone. First of all, register with Mulyoo Hosting and select your subdomain. You will be able to easily create your blog within minutes and customize it from the thirty different blog templates to suit the niche of your blog.
