Another week already! This week I have lessons learned from IT, computer case mods, a screenshot tutorial, some photos of bands from the 70’s, recycling junk mail, and more. If you like any of the links, let me know. But, if you really like one of the articles, go ahead and leave a comment on the author’s site, rather than mine. Enjoy!
Blogging: Do You Have Strange Habits
Earlier this week The Blog Herald published an article about strange blogging habits. The article discusses writing out html rather than using the visual text editor, typing out full url’s rather than using shortcuts, and writing posts in a text editor rather than in the WordPress Write Post area.

Stuff This In Your RSS – 11/11/08 – The Simple Dollar
With the economy free falling we can all use some tips on managing our money. Personally my financial situation has been in the toilet since my husband and I split up earlier this year.

The Simple Dollar contains articles with frugal tips and for debt reduction and management. Some recent articles have included; The Readers Speak Out: Their 25 Best Actions for Saving Money, Paying Others to Provide a Service: When Is It Frugal?, and Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Uses for an Old Cell Phone.
