“Skype” I love it!
Well I have just got my new Skype headset and I love it, you can use it just as you would Instant messenger.
It’s great as all calls are free and I have family in America and Denmark so it got expensive before Skype.
Even my little one love’s it, especially when she can talk to her Nanny.
What is RSS?
I had to find out what RSS meant and the best way to get Information Is the “WWW� I did a search on “what Is RSS� In Google and It came up with the following link which Personally I thought was a really good and an easy to read description.
Once I had established what RSS (really simple syndication) was and that you needed to find an aggregator that would supply these RSS feeds this nicely led me onto my next step, “Finding my aggregator�
I had actually had a tip off about a good aggregator called “Bloglines� there are others you can use which are also free and the is no Installing software either.
I now needed to know eactly how to use this site, I must admit, It
is relatively easy to use but I searched on google and found a chap
with a great blog called “betterdays�
Preetam has definately helped me understand and there Is an easy step by step guide on how to get started.
And Finally
This has been a real challenge for me, however I have really enjoyed
learning about RSS and Bloglines with the help from other bloggers, I
hope you find this site useful and please feel free to comment.
Do you have a Blog platform?
First things first, do you have a blog?, I had a blog, but started
It without knowing how to write It properly, this caused me endless
problems and delays through my lack of knowledge, I didnt even know how
to apply a link “which Is really Important when blogging because It
makes your blog more Interesting to readers, so my advice to you Is “get to know the fundamentals of blogging�.
How To Link In your Blog
1) Copy the “URL� you want from your web browser (URL is the address in you browser ie www.wordpress.com)
2) In the “Write post� section of your dashboard click your curser where you want the text to be, then click on the Icon that reads HTML, then paste your URL in there. If you try to do it directly Into your post you will not get the paste option when you right click.
3) Click “update� (you should now see your URL in your post window).
4) Highlight your URL and Click on the “link� Icon (you will not be able to click on this Icon until your URL Is highlighted!)
5) paste your URL into “Link URL� and click “Insert�.
6) Then once your post is completed click “SAVE�.
There are lots of different blog sites out there but the best one I found Is at “wordpress�

.To work or not to work!
Well after beind at home for nearly three years to raise my daughter i have decided to face the music head on and try and get myself back to work….. ah yes i hear you say! get off your lazy arse and stop sponging off the government…. well let me tell you how it is.
The government has made it incredibly difficult for single mothers to return to work due to the fact they dont offer enough money for child care, and also if you work full time they expect you to pay nearly all your rent and council tax, how is that possible i ask myself on a single salary with child care costs to pay?.
Anyway im about to look at the inland revenue website to try and calculate what child care costs will be covered for me and if it is possible for me to get my independance back.
