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

Resolved Issue with FeedBurner Headline Animator not coughing up the code

For any newb that has just gotten FeedBurner..I will be doing a review on it later..but first.. I read a post or two (that was never resolved) about how a couple of users were using the headline animator (an awesome feature) to create feed widgets.  The problem was that while trying to get the code, the next button wasn' t working, thus not directing the user to the page where the code can be gotten... If you are having this problem..I found a fix/workaround whatever.. Yes, it's irritating..but it works..on the page/tab called Publicize, click on the size animator you were working on...when it shows up..look at the part that says add to...and then there is a dropdown menu..my personal choice is always "just gimme the code".......look up to the page url.. It will look something like this: http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator?w=2&id=random numbers here Still with me?  Easier than I write it I swear! Cursor over to the spot right after the "r" in

Bitter Pill Swallowed

Don't let them fool you!

Ladies, I am here to warn you..if you are aesthetically challenged (a.k.a. not pretty) beware of all men. They have no problem whatsoever in using you for whatever they can get. Of course, we see all the time how a pretty girl on television will get a man to do most anything for her in various social experiments. It is sad that people are judged not by their merits but by their looks but hey, such is life. If you are not a pretty girl either, of course you already know this is true. However, from time to time you will be tempted by some guy into believing that he will love you even though you are less than facially glorious. This is the time to beware the most!! Don't lose yourself to someone who acts like he cares because it's most likely he is simply out to use you for whatever he can get. Even if he is one of the 1% of the male population who is not out to use you, be sure he will not treat you the same as he would a pretty girl. Don't believe me? Talk to the ex
