You know, I bought a domain name in March and up until today, it is still not set up because I do not know how to set it up. I did ask a couple of friends but they don’t have time for me. One friend promised to look into it for me but it is now almost July and it is still a blank site.

So I decided that I do not want to wait any longer. I might as well take things in my own hand. I surfed the internet for ideas and free templates but found Free Site Designer instead.

According to the site, it is very easy to make my own customized template which I can then implement into my own site. I was so happy. I signed up and started to play around with it. It is said that Free Site Designer is so easy to use that no HTML knowledge is required.

Well, I did not manage to publish my design successfully. I was afraid that I would overwrite my existing blogs. Perhaps I would try when I have an independently hosted domain. What do you think?

25,000 Coupon Codes!

I came across a new user-rated coupon code website and it is certainly different from the usual discount code sites that I frequent. Retail Me Not is better in the sense that members contribute coupon codes to the site and those who have used it will rate the coupon to let other members know how successful they have in using it on their purchases.

Moreover, Retail Me Not has a Firefox extension that could save the shopper money. Can you imagine if you were just about to buy something, you will be alerted that there is a discount code available for use? You could also sign up for their newsletter to receive coupon updates right in your email box.

I just came across a newegg coupon code for a FUJIFILM A800 Silver 8.3 MP Digital Camera. As you know, I have been looking to by a digital camera for ages but have been reluctant to pay full price for it. Now that I have this coupon code, I may actually buy it!

Do check out Retail Me Not. This coupon site is one of the easiest to surf thanks to its neat layout. Looking for a promo code from your favorite merchant has never been this easy.

Showcase Your Artwork On Warm Toast Cafe

I have always wanted to be an artist but unfortunately, I can’t draw to save my life. However, I have a couple of friends who are very talented and creative. They told me about this website called Warm Toast Cafe that is especially for artists, designers and everyone who is involved in the arts to sign up for free and showcase their creative work.

The landing page is very simplistic with a very clean yet interesting design. There are ten thumbnails of the most recently updated portfolios so that in one glance, one could see, by hovering the cursor over the image, which artists have uploaded new art to the website.

Warm Toast Cafe has a rather active forum where members chat about all things artsy fartsy. I think people who are involved in the arts should join websites like these so that they can easily showcase their work and gain attention.

Free Expert SAT Test Prep & College Planning Advice

Leave a reply

One of the few things that I regret in life is that I did not prepare well for my exams and hence was not able to go to the college of my dreams. Now that I am in the working world, I have hang ups about my lack of a good college education. This is of course not something I wish to happen to even my worse enemies because a sound college education surely opens a lot more doors.

Today, I came across a website called ePrep.com which provides Expert SAT Test Prep & College Planning Advice, owned by a Princeton educated SAT tutor with fifteen long years of experience.

Expert advice on preparing for the dreaded SAT test is rendered via video blogging and articles written in easy to understand everyday language. One of the articles that caught my eye is preparing for SAT under $25. I remember how costly it was and being from a not-so-well-to-do family, it was very tough on me.

On ePrep.com, a student can also sit for an online diagnostic test. It sort of prepares the student on what to expect in a real SAT exam environment. After taking the test and being graded, the student can get a review where he will be shown how to answer those questions with precise answers and strategy in video. I think this feature is excellent in helping students to prepare for the SAT.

If you are preparing for SAT or know of someone who is, do check out ePrep.com as soon as possible for better preparation.

Free Webhosting By Portland Communications

A friend asked me if there is any free hosting available. I have previously also searched the internet before and managed to find a couple of sites that provide that without advertisements. Those are very rare.

Today, my search turned up a new result and this free hosting is provided by Portland Communications, a British company. According to the website, this free webhosting package of 15MB of web space supports all domain names and if you do not have a domain name, you can use a free sub-domain name.

Since Portland Communications is an internet service provider, I am not sure if this free offer is only available to their customers only, to British residents only, to anyone who applies. However, they did say that you cannot host copyrighted files like mp3 files unless you are the legal owner.

Anyway, I already told my friend about this and let her try applying.

Free Unsigned Bands Music Downloads

Leave a reply

I just discovered a fairly new British music entertaiment website which recently launched a music chart for unsigned bands. I think this will provide wonderful much needed exposure to unsigned bands and hopefully, they can get that breakthrough that they are all seeking.

Ths website is free to join and all music makers and lovers are welcomed to sign up. Only on Tour Dates can you find an unsigned chart with free music downloads.

Thanks to Tour Dates, British unsigned bands can now upload their music to the site to share with other people and promote their brand and band by announcing gig dates. It would do them do to have a very interesting band profile page too.

Tour Dates allow such bands to promote themselves alongside more established bands and I think that all unsigned bands should grab this golden opportunity.

tourdates.Co.UK, Britains fastest growing new music website, has launched a chart for unsigned bands.

The site allows new bands to upload promotional tracks, announce gig dates and create profiles to promote themselves alongside major artists such as the Artic Monkeys and The Twang.

Tourdates Jarrod Robinson says, there are some fantastic unsigned bands in the UK and we wanted them to know how much our community likes their music, an unsigned chart seemed the perfect answer.

Chart results are announced on the site at 19:00 every sunday, the sametime as the No1 single of the week is announced on BBC’s radio 1.
