Welcome to all, old and new! :~)
I haven`t done a lot with my blog this week, been too busy running around doing Christamas shopping. Believe me, with 4 kids that`s a whole lot of running...lol
I did find a couple of links to free blogs for those of you who`d like to start blogging for yourself:
http://www.blogger.com (this is the one I`ve been using so far)
http://www.blog-city.com
http://www.tblog.com
Here are some more of the tips Ron sent me about blogging:
- If you want more visitors and comments, you will have
to beat the bushes to get them. Visit (and comment on)
other blogs, always leaving the address of yours behind.
Visit the most popular ones possible, consistent with
your purpose.
- Be visual. If you are going to blog,
get some graphical content in there.

Apart from being busy with the xmas shopping, I`ve also made a start on a new ebook. The new one`s also aimed at people new to the internet and to marketing online. Still needs some stuff added to it though as it`s only 20 pages long so far. If you don`t yet have a copy of the first one (it`s free) you can get it here: Forget The Hype!
Last week I asked if you would like to have your interviews posted on my blog. Half of you said yes and the other half said no. So I got to thinking, well how about adding the interviews to the new ebook? That could possibly be another way for you all to get free advertising. What do you think?
Again, you can let me know by either using the feedback forms in the members lounge, or by clicking one of these email links:
I wanna be in the book!
Me? In a book? No Way!
I`m also looking for more information to put into the ebook, so if you have any favourite sites, ones that you use or have used to help you with marketing online, please send me the links so I can look at them. (Not affiliate programs please)
Also, if you can think of any particular topics that need to be covered for newbies I`d be glad to hear about those too.
Until next time..
Enjoy Reading!
May you be happy and prosperous in everything you do!

This weeks download/ebook is Amazing Web tools: Transform your web site into a masterpiece.
(Did you know that I test-drive EVERY single ebook/download that I offer in the ezine before adding it to the poll? Why do I do this? To try to make sure I give you stuff that`s actually worth having, of course ;~) )
Visit the Members Lounge for the download link, and don`t forget to get your votes in for next weeks e-book while you`re there.
Not Just Another Interview #52 is posted this week, so do take the time to check it out. Again, I`ve got no more on file, so whether you`ve sent one in before or not, do it now, just in time for Christmas ;~)
I`ve had multiple members tell me that the interviews are a great way of gaining contacts, so send them on in. Tell us about yourself, your business, how long you`ve been online etc. You might not even HAVE a business yet, that`s fine too. We STILL want to get to know you! Don`t worry, it`s only a teeny tiny questionnaire type interview.. lol
Don`t be shy, we really appreciate getting to know you better. (Remember, it`s a whole weeks worth of free advertising for you.) If you`re unsure of how to send one in, the form is in the Members Lounge, along with all the other forms and stuff ;~)
Don`t forget, the link to the Members Lounge can be found at the bottom of this page EVERY week.

Clean up cookies and temporary internet files in Windows.
(C) Copyright 2004 by Anna-Marie Stewart
Have you ever searched through your cookies and temporary internet files only to find there are hundreds of sites, possibly mostly adult sites that you have never visited or typed into your browser? In Windows, there`s lots of things that can cause this, but for now we`ll concentrate on a couple of things that can cause it, and how to clean them up.
HTML emails can set cookies on your pc, but the temp files are things that your browser downloads from sites that you actually visit. Cookies can also be sent to your computer through sites that you visit independent of e-mail.
HTML emails are mostly used because of their ability to grab attention better than text emails. Unfortunately a lot of spam and undesireable stuff is being sent via HTML emails nowadays, resulting in lots of unwanted cookies on our computers.
The temp files are supposedly good for speeding up your browsing, but they can cause problems for visitors to sites that update often. You may get your cached version instead of the updated version of the site you`re visiting.
All cookies and temp internet files are controlled in internet options. It makes no difference where they come from, be it HTML email or websites.
I`d recommend making it a habit to clean up your temp files and cookies almost on a daily basis if you use email and/or the net a lot.
1.) Open a new browser window
2.) Click on Tools
3.) Click on Internet Options
4.) Click on Delete cookies
6.) Click on OK in the little popup box
5.) Click on Delete files
6.) Check "delete all offline content" in the popup box
7.) Click OK in the popup box
8.) Click OK on the main Internet Options Box
Now, if you go back through steps 1, 2 and 3, then click on "Settings" you will also see that you can decide yourself how often you`d like your pc to check for newer versions of stored pages, and how much space to use for temporary internet files. Everybody has their own preferences in this case, personally I have mine set to "every visit to the page" for the newer versions and 500mb for the temp files.
You can disable HTML emails in Outlook Express by following these steps:
1.) Open Outlook Express
2.) Click on Tools
3.) Click on Options
4.) Click on Read
5.) check the box labelled "Read all messages in plain text"
6.) Click OK
Now you won`t receive any "pretty" emails at all, it`ll all be plain text. To undo this action, follow the same steps as above and uncheck the box you previously checked.
Whilst the above information will help you to clean up all of your cookies and most of your temporary internet files, there may actually be a few temp files that have gone astray in your computer. you can find and remove them by following these steps:
1.) Click on My Computer
2.) Click on the C: drive, and scroll down.
3.) If you see any files that end in .tmp, you can safely delete them by highlighting and pressing the Delete key
As I said, there are lots of other reasons why your pc can be full of cookies and temp internet files that will show as you visiting bad sites, or slowing down your computer. Now you know how to get rid of them whenever you need to. It`s a quick little job once you get used to it, and you`ll notice a marked improvement in your computers performance.

Hi Anna
Yes I think it is a great idea to post interviews in your blog.
The more free advertising the better. Blogging is all to technical
for me. So not sure what you do. If you want any short articles for
it on health, skin care, weightloss nutrition etc let me know
Regards Cheryl H.
Hi Cheryl, thanks for your vote. I`ve had the same amount of votes "for" as "against" adding the profiles to my blog, so it looks like I`m going to have to put it in as an option in the submit interview form so that people can choose for themselves.
I`ll be adding yours to my blog within the next couple of days though, so lets hope it brings you some traffic. Can you email me the url you want to go with it as I`d rather not post your email address ;~)
If you have any ideas for making the ezine even better for you, please don`t hesitate to let me know and I`ll see what I can do.
Don`t forget: If any of you have any neat little tips, tricks, ideas or cool links you`d like to share, send them on in so I can post them here. ;~)
