Editing gets a boost

It's funny how, in the current state of the ailing American economy, there can still be found the occasional example of how to succeed in uncertain times.

Papercheck is a company that is all about the editing. While many more people are staying at home while doing their writings, these same people are unwilling to outsource documents to other countries...which is where Papercheck comes in. The home page of Papercheck is very explicit and easy to understand, describing the services they provide: editing, proofreading and also following academic requirements for writing by following all the major styles of academic writing.

In addition, the fees are clearly listed and document requirements as well. Documents are mostly in Microsoft formats but this can also include OpenOffice documents that are compatible with Microsoft.

Another great feature on Papercheck is that they are a BBB Online Reliable Site and they have now added Verisign to their arsenal. The use of Verign as a more secure way to do business online is a great way to expand business, as people trust a site that uses it.

A useful feature for freelance writers is the ability to add a facebook application called EditorLive, that allows one to take a sample of the editing exam required for employment at Papercheck.

All told, it's nice to see an example of an American business that is succeeding in a time of economic turmoil.

Photobucket Sucks

This is going to be a 'Douche of the Day' award post that I usually do on my Wordpress blog . I was a happy Photobucket user for 11 years.  That's a long time to stick with a service so they were obviously a good one.  I was completely happy with the services provided on my free account and a couple of times, I made use of the print store in order to make custom gifts for loved ones for various occasions. Then all of a sudden, in 2017, they start sending me nagware. For those unfamiliar, nagware consists of popups/emails/messages etc that 'nag' you to buy their product. It's irritating, true, but not a deal breaker since I had a free account.  I just unsubscribed to the nagmails and just put up with it on the site. Then, however, Photobucket decided to do something I consider to be truly despicable. They made it to where you CANNOT download your photo albums (for backup or for account changes).  They actually REMOVED the download album links.  Why is that p...

Favorite File Manager for Windows 7

Most people that use Windows tend to just use Windows Explorer as their file manager. A vast number of people likely don't even realize that there are other options.  Windows Explorer is painfully limited in features, especially lacking the tabs that 95% of file managers utilize.  In my line of work, I have to compare, browse, edit, move, delete and rename vast numbers of files.  Windows Explorer just can't handle the task. I ended up using FreeCommander file manager, which had all the features I was looking for with extensive customization options for the user interface and a built in viewer that could be used inside the window I was working on.  That was actually the most difficult feature to find as I discovered later. After a while though, I became very frustrated with FreeCommander's 32 bit free version.  It became slow and often froze.  So I decided to comparison shop, so to speak.  My requirements were few but necessary: I had to be able to c...
