Fun, Fabulous, and
For the longest time, I've wanted to put together a list of websites that have free information and free resources just for fun.
The internet has a plethora (love that word!) of free stuff, so much so that it's hard to remember where it all is. There are free membership sites, free giveaways, free tools, and just stuff that's fun to do and see. So let's get started!
If you've been on the net for awhile, you may be familiar with free give-away-sites. This is where an affiliate marketer puts together a site where other affiliates or marketers give away their products. Why? So that you will look at their "one-time offers" and buy from them. This also gives them name recognition and a chance for them to show you their products.
Oh, and another thing, it puts you on their list of people who they can market to. In order for you to get their free product, you have to give them your name and email address. Don't worry; they all have to follow the Can Spam (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) law that requires anyone who sends emails give recipients an opt-out method. This law was enacted in 2003 to prevent spam emails being sent.
This is really a great site. It's one I always mention. There are 14 FREE videos that show you how to build a website. This is where I learned - I'm not an expert by any means, but I understand the basics and can put up a simple site. If you're interested in building your own site, these videos will show you exactly how. They take you step by step, from hosting, to getting a domain name, to building the site. By the time you're through, you will be able to build your own site; they are that good - amazing for a free product.

Get Organized - Free Tool
A Place to Keep Your Stuff
Here's a great little tool that will help you stay organized. Don't you hate it when you find something you like on the net and then your computer does something wacky and you lose it? Drives me nuts.There's a free tool called Evernote that you can keep on your desktop that lets you save notes you write; you can free-hand and make diagrams; and you can drag parts of a web page into it to keep for future reference.
Keep track of things by categories, and search by keyword or date. If you're a net junkie, this may be just what you need to keep track of things!
Take a look at EverNote.com
There's an instructional video that comes with it. Hope it helps!
Template a Day
If you make your own websites or are just learning how, this is a great package. Each day you receive a free template. Once you sign up, you have access to 14 videos that show how to use the templates, including changing the text and color, altering the body of the template, optimizing for the search engines, adding articles and installing and using Wordpress. A nice package for Free! Check it out.Templateaday
Music You Choose
Pick the type of music you like with Pandora
Have you heard of Pandora yet? This was a great find. You know how sometimes you want to listen to jazz, and sometimes you want to listen to country? (I have an eclectic taste in music). Pandora allows you to create different types of stations based on either the artist's name or the title of a song and then is streamed to your computer.You pick an artist and Pandora tries to select songs that are of the same type. If you don't like a particular song, you can delete it. (Pandora apologizes and says they'll try harder - very polite!) It does a good job of matching artists in the same genre.
You can also make a station by choosing a particular song, but interestingly, you won't hear that song immediately, just music similar to it. Something to do with the artists' rights.
I love being able to choose the type of music I want to hear. And it's perfect because I don't like working in complete silence.
Head over to Pandora; Music You Love and start making your stations. It's fun and free!

Punchu Puzzles will create a printable pdf file of the puzzle and email it back as soon as possible.
The site will also create custom word search puzzle games from a list of words supplied by you for playing on a Windows OS computer, or you can request a CD containing some of the thousands of word search puzzles that have already been created.

I love all types of music from country to rock to oldies. I found a site recently where you can choose a specific song - different than Pandora (talked about above) in that you don't pick a genre, but the actual song. First visit www.myplaylist.com and start creatingyour own list. I created a list of 12 songs with various artists from artists that I really enjoy but don't get to listen to very often - a few that came out in the 60's. I love music and I just love this site where I can find my favorite songs to listen to any time I want.
