Okay thought I’d share a cool site where you can link have blog posts post to twitter automatically. I’ve used it for years and it works nicely, saves a lot of time and keeps my twitter feed more alive. It’s called, appropriately enough: TwitterFeed.
enjoy! Fred
Web-FTP makes FTP Hosting easy
Posted on: February 23, 2010
So many have heard of FTP to upload and download files online, but some are intimidated by the fact that they need to download and learn how to use FTP software to use FTP.
This is where Web-FTP comes in, it allows you to access your remote folders online using just your Web browser. Yes there are great FTP apps out there like FileZilla and CoreFTP, but some just want that simple easy access to FTP Folders using just there Web browsers.
FTP Hosting providers like Online Institute offer a real nice Web-FTP solution, and the abillity to create private user folders, each with their own username and password.
Here’s my recent youtube vid where I show a demo of the Web-FTP:
Ok so I’m a tech-geek, and a guy, so what could I possible know about what to get a new mother and her little baby?
Well let’s just say a good lady friend tuned Fred into this awhile back, and it’s always been a hit.
One of the most special times for a baby and new mom is bath time, and nothing is better for a baby after bath than to be wrapped in a cozy terry-cloth hooded towel.
The Hooded Baby Towel is always a hit as a unique gift idea for baby
TowelHoodies lets you write the gift-card right on their website and you can choose the jacquard ribbon and have the baby’s name embroidered on the towel to really make it a special and unique baby gift.
Anyway check them out at TowelHoodies.com. And check out the founders blog at MJMDesign.us.
Online Institute now has their own blog, known as the OLI Hosting Blog where they are covering their favorite topics like chat software, ftp hosting and forum hosting.
This is a good example of a company using a blog to communicate with their customers, kind of like a FAQ where common questions can be addressed. And it’s a WordPress Blog software so there are lots of nice features including the ability to search all the posts.
As OLI is also Blog Hosting provider, they are also providing a live demo of their hosting service in action.
This just exemplifies how blogs have come of age as now businesses are using them to communicate with their audience and share insights with their customers.
And people thought blogs were fads, just like they thought the web was a fad. However when businesses find a use for a new technology, it means it’s here to stay.
Keep on blogging!

(edit: the price went up slightly since the video was made but publish247.com remains a great deal). A Domain is that the http://www.your-name that every website has. They’re actually easy to get and very affordable if you know where to look.
First a warning about so called free domain names: You know the saying nothin’ comes for free, we’ll usually a free domain means not only having to put up with a bunch of ads filling up your website, but even worse, it often means you don’t even own the domain, instead the company who gives you the free domain actually owns it, meaning it could be taken away at anytime.
However, when you purchase domain registration from a trustworthy company at a low price, you are the master of the domain, like owning a title to a car.
After an extensive search I found the company that is not only trustworthy but very affordable.
There are many features you can add to your domain like a website, photo album and a blog, private registration and even more.
By the way, if you are a beginner, Publish247.com has a service called “Website Tonight” where you can build an entire professional website without any technical know-how needed.
You can also setup e-mail to send and receive from your own permanent email address at your domain. —
There’s also advanced Windows and Linux server features for you techies out there.
What I like best about Publish247.com is they help you find a domain name that’s actually still available, as thousands are registered everyday and the longer you wait the harder it is to find a good to domain name that’s still available.
To start, simply type the domain name you want in the search box at Publish247.com’s home page, it will not only show you if that name is available but will also give you suggestions as to what similar names are available.
From there you’re off to the races and on your way to having your professional web presence, for a nice low-cost.
And remember: it’s your domain, have fun with it!
