Have a ton of IE favorites or bookmarks to access your favorite web sites? Most people use the built-in features of IE or Firefox for keeping track of their favorite web sites. It works well, but as most people know, the list can become quite long and unmanageable. Don’t worry, there is a solution.
It’s usually VERY RARE that I come across a program or web service that really makes a big difference in the way I use my computer or the way I browse the Internet. However, today I landed upon a web site that did just that!

Ahh the weather! How many times a day do you check your local weather forecast online or via the local news? Personally, I find myself visiting Weather.com about two to three times a day, usually in the morning and at night. I also have a sidebar widget that tells me the local temperature for my area code.

Previously, I had written two articles on how to get a domain name/hosting and how to get free web site logos and templates that you can check out if you’re interested in doing it yourself.
However, if all of that requires too much time and too much technical knowledge than you care to acquire, you can check out a cool service that let’s you create your own website with the ease of dragging and dropping.

It seems there are a lot of 411 services that are popping up all over the place to hopefully get rid of those useless Yellow Pages books once and for all! Previously, I wrote about the free Google 411 service and another service called Tellme, both of which are very useful.
How to remove shortcut arrows from Vista desktop icons
Posted on October 26, 2007 - Filed Under Windows Vista | 8 Comments
I’ve been using Vista on my laptop for about a month now and I noticed from day one that the shortcut arrows on my desktop icons are HUGE! I really used to hate the shortcut arrows in Windows XP, but at least they were small and inconspicuous. If you’ve been using Vista, however, you’ll have probably noticed that the icons are much larger and so are the arrows!
Well, that’s where Vista Shortcut Overlay Remover comes in handy. This little freeware application is by no means a stunning piece of software with loads of features, etc, but then again it’s usually the simple applications that everyone loves.
