Free Downloadable Christian Minibooks

I was looking for some reading material online when I chanced upon the website of Nancy Arant Williams. To be frank, her books are not of the genre that I normally read.

However, if Christian fiction is the kind of books you like reading, visit the website of Nancy Arant Williams by clicking on the link I have provided in this post and download the 17 minibooks in PDF format.

Of course, Nancy also sells her books. Currently, they are priced at US$12 each. Good value, if you ask me. To buy them, check out Nancy’s website to see where they are sold. Let me know how you like her writing by leaving a comment.

Free Land in Kansas

When I first started this blog, I was so exciting to have discovered that people could actually gain free land in America. I thought that if you want to own a piece of America, this is the site to try your luck.

However, a couple of days ago, I discovered this website called Kansas Free Land. This site is very different from the one that I discovered a long time ago because this gives you a residential or commercial lot that you actually can build on while the first site only gives you one square inch of land! But it’s still FREE LAND, right?

Of course, when land is given away FREE, there will be terms and conditions attached. I did a check on these and they don’t look like they are too difficult to meet. However, since I am not in America, I cannot really tell.

If you plan to move to Kansas, the heart of America’s West, then check out Kansas Free Land. Maybe you will be eligible for free land in America?

Free Images From Image*After

You may have read that I spent a considerable amount of time looking for free images for my personal site. I am trying to find a “cover” for my site so it’s very important that I find something that projects “ME”. So far, I have yet to find that image that I think would be perfect for my personal site. I could of course commission someone to draw an image for me but I am a cheapo and I am sure you know that.

Anyway, I found this great site called Image*After that has a huge database of photos which we can use however we like, for personal or commercial use. The good thing to do, of course, is to provide a link back to the site if you use the images here.

One thing I noted is that Image*After is pretty lenient in their terms. We can do just about anything with these images EXCEPT set up a similar website as redistribute them. Don’t do it, OK!

Free Appliqué Patterns

I actually found this website very interesting because I really admire people who could create amazing craft work. Well, I can sew a little but absolutely have no passion for it.

This website, free appliqué, allows people to download appliqué pattern for their quilts, crafts and clipart and many more. There are so many patterns available that it is really up to your imagination how to make the best out of the patterns.

Apart from the free appliqué patterns, you can also get free baby quilt patterns or get ideas for your craft projects. Some people I know find crafting and quilting really therapeutic. As for me, I get all stressed out trying to get the perfect stitch! Well, I think I better not make any myself and resolve to just admire the work of others!

Do you like the pattern found here? Are they useful for you? Let me know!

Free Domain Name, Web Space & Hosting

Although I already have more than enough domains, I sometimes like to find websites that offer free web space and hosting because websites like these usually make web building easy with their ready made template so I could just send a redirect to the site that I built.

Today, I discovered 2ip.com and I was very happy because they provide free domain name, 100MB web space and hosting too. I filled out the form and almost clicked the submit button when I read the Terms of Service that the service is not available to residents of Malaysia and a handful of other countries. Bah! Can’t they write this upfront in bold before I filled out the form?

Anyway, although I can’t make use of it, I could still share my discovery with you all. The domain name that is free is actually sub domains but they are unique like biografi.biz or profil.tv

I think 2ip.com provides a great service and product for people just starting out to host their own websites. This is a great learning platform since you do not have to buy your own domain and hosting while you test out your website building skills.

Free Web Templates & Clipart

As you may recall, I bought a domain name recently but am too cheap to pay for the services of a web designer. I thought that I could set up my website as cheaply as possible and one of the things I am doing is to search for suitable web templates.

I noticed that most templates, although they may be free, are most for commercial websites. Mine is more of a personal nature so looking for a free template that I like isn’t as easy as I thought.

Anyway, I came across some interesting flash templates and clipart from Template Monster. Although the site primarily SELLS templates, and they don’t come cheap too, there are a few pages of templates and clipart that can be downloaded and used for Free. So they are not all bad, eh? 😀
