YOU WILL NEED TO ENLARGE THE JPEG BELOW TO READ IT,
THERE IS A REASON I HAD TO DO IT THIS WAY.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO LEAVE LINKS IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF YOUR BLOG, OR OTHER BLOGS.....HERE IS THE WAY.

A Great Plugin For Firefox Browser

Do you use Firefox as your blogger? I do, and will never go back to IE.
There are hundreds of free plugins available for my browser, and I found one that every blogger should install. It is a small program, with a small pop-up box that allows you to add your comments to the blog you are at, and see the most recent comments left at the blog you are at. I has a list that you can use to backtrack the comments on the blog you are viewing. I just installed this today, but am impressed at all of the uses of this little program. It could be a good traffic generator, if used correctly.
It only works with other blogs or webpages that use firefox, But most web authors use firefox now anyway.

Here, give it a try…. A Great Plugin for Firefox

A Great Tool for Bloggers

If you write your blog articles in Word, you will love this plugin. It allows you to write an article in Word, (I have to have my spell check) and publish it directly to your blog. This program works Great, I use it all the time.
Some formatting is lost in the publishing, but all links you have in the article are published correctly.

Great Microsoft Word Plugin

For this article I used a different font type, choose a different font size. I choose Georgia 14. This saves time when you get the hang of it. I have always had problems with my blog word processor program when choosing the font or font size. Justified text will not publish correctly, I always have to do that later, if I remember.

Another feature is after you have choose the blog you want to publish to, (I have several blogs) and publish it, it gives you the option to go directly to the internet and your blog. Neat trick. I love stuff like this.

I found a site that has lots of streaming audio and video files on various subjects. You may want to check it out. It also sells CD's with old radio programs etc.
I went there looking for the Orson Well's War of the Worlds radio program.
It was there, so I used my stream recorder and now I have a file of the whole program.
Well anyway here is the link to this new source of audio and video streams I discovered.

Check this out
War of the Worlds

You too can record streaming video from the internet....the one product endorsement on this page is for stream recording software, from Appian Technologies Inc. I recommend to anyone to download a free trial version of Media Recorder.

Huge Library of Ebooks

If you have read any of the first articles I posted here, you know I love ebooks, and have recommended the ebook reader, Microsoft Reader. Not only is this reader the best ebook reader available *in my opinion* it is the only one that is completely free. There are literally hundreds of thousands of MSReader books available FREE on the internet.

Here is one more library of free books that may interest you.

It is one of the first I came across back in 2000. It is a large free ebook library provided by the University of Virginia. My personal kudos to this fine university. That is, unless UV is bouncing the basketball against KU.......

http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/ebooks/

For convenience, here are some of the categories of this library, with links.
You can view all of the books in this library without an ebook viewer, but if you have one, you can download any of these books to your hard drive.

Illustrated Classics,
African-American,
Native American,Women Writers,
The Bible,
Literature in Translation,
Shakespeare,Civil War,
Young Readers,
Early American Fiction,
Center on Religion and Democracy

I have learned a lot from this library and recommend it to you without reservation.

I have found that this library is a treasure trove of forgotten books on forgotten subjects. Quite frankly, my knowledge of my wonderful American brothers and sisters of African Origin, was lacking until I found this source. Sure, I had read a few of Booker T. Washingtons Books, but that was about my total sum of knowledge until I found this library. If you do nothing more, please look at all of the books by B.T.Washington, and READ A FEW......HEY IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE TO WALK TO THE LIBRARY AND CHECK A BOOK OUT....IT IS FREE....AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE THE COMFORT OF YOUR INTERNET CHAIR.

And, Civil War nut that I am, I found many books that are no longer in print, and would not be available to read, unless I would be willing to spend thousands of dollars. My book budget is in the tens of dollars a month, not millions, but I still love to read. Yes the purist's will say there is nothing like holding the paper, leather, thread, gilt and mold in your hands and feeling it all....I say....if you can afford it great, as a poor truck driver....I still can read what you spent a fortune on.....without cost.....

At the front door page to this library,
http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/ebooks/
you will notice three hot buttons at the bottom of the webpage. One is to the download page for Microsoft Reader, one is to a download for the Palm Pilot, ebook reader, which you can test drive for a few weeks, and one is to a great free software program that lets you make your own ebooks in the Microsoft Reader format, .lit.

You are going to thank me for this…Now it is your turn to enjoy. Merry Christmas.

update

Funny how these things work out. I accidentally rented space on a really hot blog,

A REALLY HOT BLOG

I was trying to rent space for a link to Sanity's Bluff, My oldest blog, but must have clicked the wrong button.

What is happening now, is I'm having a lot of people visiting the wrong blog….no problem….I’ll snazzy this one up a little for my new guests. This is not the blog I put the most time into, as you can see….it’s been a month since an entry, but it is a blog I won’t give up on.

As a web junkie, a.k.a. webloafer, I find many useful sites, and have been turned onto some very good websites by friends.

If you love reading, and are building a cyber library, (ebooks), I have the ultimate website for you.

THE GUTENBERG PROJECT

If you haven’t heard about the Gutenbury Project, listen up.

It is a worldwide project with a noble dream. This Project wants to make available in ebook form or html on the web, ALL OF THE BOOKS THAT ARE NOW IN PUBLIC DOMAIN. Can you say hundreds of thousands, maybe even a million. All of this is free too.

I have volunteered time as a proofreader to this project, and when you grasp the scope of what is happening at the Gutenberg Project, you may wish to help out also.

Oh you won’t find the latest Tom Clancy novel in free ebook form, but you will find a treasure trove of literature at the Gutenberg Project.

After all, there were great authors, poets, playwrights and politicians last century, and you shouldn’t have to go to a library or rare book dealer to enjoy the classics.

Now, if you have paid attention…you will have already downloaded MSReader for free, and the MSWord plug-in….so you can turn any html text into a snazzy e-book, all for free.

So here is the link……….enjoy.
