Designing websites can be a lot of hassle for many people. You need to know a lot of HTML to build a website from scratch and even then the website might not even look that good. I have used many hours struggling with HTML to try to make my websites look ok. The end result does not always end up the way I want it.
Another way to make websites is by using a website builder program. One free program called BlueVoda lets you do exactly that. It lets you make websites in a very simple by just dragging and dropping the information you want to have on your website.
and you do not have to know HTML or other forms for codes to use this program. You can use standard templates that the BlueVoda has built into the program or make up your website design from scratch. The program also include many free images, logos and other items that you can use on your site.
Sounds like a very simple way to get you a presence online!
Visit this link to get more information about the website builder: create website.
All you have to do is entering your email into a form at the bottom of their site and you will receive information about how to get the program. The program should contain any spyware, adware or other malicious forms of code.
A blogger called Ben Behrouzi (also President and CEO of a company called DotNext.inc.) is giving away a MacBook Air away in a contest he is holding on his website. To enter the contest all you need to do is tweet this on Twitter: “@BenBehrouzi Ben count me in the MacBook Air Giveaway! http://tinyurl.com/de7f6b”. The tweet does not have to be written in the same words, but should include the main points and tweeted before March 31st 2009 as that is the day he will select a winner.
You do not even have to follow Ben Behrouzi to enter the contest, but I’m sure he would be happy if you did follow him on Twitter since the prize is so nice and it would be a nice gesture.
Check out this link for more information about the competition: Win A MacBook Air on Twitter. I would sure love to win a MacBook Air as I think the Macs look very good and are great for blogging, and also for post processing pictures.
You can also follow me on Twitter at this address: http://twitter.com/jungl.
If you are not currently using Twitter, but want to enter the contest it is very simple to register an account on Twitter.com.
Zenni Optical in the New York Times?!
The New York Times has written an article about how to save money on glasses and lenses and in the article it mentions that you can get prescription eyeglasses for only $8! from Zenni Optical.
The article in New York Times is called Seeing Straight Without Breaking Bank and can be very helpful for people like me who are tying to save some money by not buying the most expensive glasses and lenses.
My latest knitting project is some striped black and purple wrist warmers. It can often be cold in the winter and it is nice with some wrist warmers when you work on the computer or do crafting.
The wrist warmers were supposed to be for myself, but alas I made them a bit too small so they ended up as a gift for a friend. She is very happy with them though 
Here is a picture of the wrist warmers:
As I am living with two students I know how hard it can be to live with the small funds they receive during the time they study. They are both looking for alternative ways to make money like getting stray jobs and saving money in every possible way. Right now when the economy is in recession it is even harder for them to find money.
One way students can make money is by selling essays to essays.org. Students can earn up to 176€ (about $228) for their written work. The essays can be in any language and, contain photos and graphics.
In addition to essays you can also submit other written articles like term papers and book reports.
When you are registered at the website you also get big discounts on buying other essays. You can also do bartering to get even cheaper solutions.
You can submit essays in categories such as art, economics, natural sciences and more.
Essays.org have a section on their website with the newest articles added to their site. There you can get an indication on what kind of essays they are interested in. They also have a section with free essays that can be helpful if you are very low on cash and need an essay.
Selling your written work seems like a nice idea if you need some relatively easy money.
I finished a new pair of ragg socks knitted from leftover yarn. These multi colored ones I knitted for myself since it has been pretty cold here lately (temperatures down to -18 C). I use socks like these every day during the winter so it is nice to have many pairs.
Here is a picture of the ragg socks. I have used them for a few days so that is why they look a bit old 
As we have several kids in our household it is always fun to try new things to do with the kids. One thing that we might consider trying is face painting as kids seem to love it.
Face painting can be a bit hard to do so a face paint DVD would be great for us to learn the how to do the skill.
A website called Videoshelf.com sells a DVD series called “Create Faces” where you can learn how to do face painting. The DVDs are for sale from their site and here is an example of the painted faces you can learn from the DVDs:
Here is also a video with face painting designs that are suitable for Halloween:
Here is a video of a massive coal ash spill in Tennessee, USA. 2.6 million cubic yards of this awful mess spilled into the river and this about 48 times more than the Exxon Valdez by volume. I hope there is a massive clean up so the nature will not hurt too much!
