Over at Icojoy, one of the best stock icon web sites out there today, I noticed they not only sell icons but they have a free section too. If your on a cheap budget and you need to pick up some great icons you may wish to give them a shot.
At the time of writing this they have seven great set to choose from and use for free. Feel free to use them on your blog and be sure to thank the Iconjoy team for releasing them out for all to use and enjoy.
First off, thank you for the positive feedback on the latest eBook release of mine I told you about a few days ago. Always appreciate the feedback and thoughts on the project. One question I have gotten a lot thus far is, what did I use to create it? Well, as many of you know I pride myself on being a low budget guy… so why pay money when I can get this done for free? I created the entire eBook using Open Office and this video I found on YouTube for pointers.
Who says this Internet thing isn’t a great learning device? This made it easy to pick up pointers on how to link inside of the document, and then how to export to PDF and secure the document up some so that it could not be edited. I would suggest anybody bookmark this video and play it again if you ever want to get into the basics of digital publishing yourself.
I told you about my plans a project just a few days back, and now I have just finished things up. The Best of the Web Hosting Show Guides is a collection of some of the most popular guides I have posted and talked about here on the Web Hosting Show podcast.
Unlike other eBook deals, you get an extra perk with this setup. You can download both the digital eBook version, or head over the the official page for it and pick up all five chapters as audio downloads too. I wanted to give to you the best of both worlds. The topics covered in the eBook cover all aspects of the web hosting world:
Download the PDF and let me know what you think. Also as far as distribution goes, please feel free to share the link to download it to anybody and everybody you know. This is a project of mine I have been working on getting together for some time now and I want everybody to know it is free of charge.

Looking for a new virtual console game to play on the Wii, I downloaded and tried out River City Ransom. After hearing all over the Web that this game was an awesome old school NES release, I fell for the hype and gave it a shot. I have to say I am now joining the fan boys in saying that this game is a lot of fun. Never played it before yesterday (I missed most of the first generation of Nintendo) but I was happy my five dollars was well spent.
Pretty much it is a game like Final Fight, but with RPG elements built into it. So you can buy items and power ups to make yourself stronger - but the game is all based around a side scrolling punch, kick and throw way of thinking.
If your needing help, found this large map (looks as if it was scanned in from an old magazine article). Final thoughts are that the whole thing reminds me of a bad 80’s movie - but in a good way.
So you want to get up and going with your own WordPress powered web site, but you are afraid of installing it on your own? Thankfully there are a few ways you can get it installed without having to left a finger FTP client.
One solution would be to look and see if your web host has Fantastico installed. Via this cPanel addon you could have WordPress auto-install for you. Just login to your cPanel, and then go down to Fantastico and then find WordPress in the left navigation bar. Follow the on screen instructions and your set.
The second option would be to let the people at Install4Free do it for you. This is a team of volunteers who offer expert installs of WordPress for anybody who wants one. Now passing over your login details to your hosting account might seem like a bad idea but I have heard nothing but positive reviews of them thus far.
For me the WordPress install process has not ever been to difficult. I could see though where some people may be intimidated by it though. If there was third option I would suggest trying to install it yourself first.
I have another sub-project under wraps for right now, but I’d like to explain things a ‘bit so I can get some feedback from you.
I have had the idea for some time now to wrap up some of the full length guides (maybe four or five of them) from the Web Hosting Show podcast, and turn them into a short eBook. Then, when you are downloading - you could pick up the eBook to read or you could have the option to go listen to that “chapter” via the past podcast.
Then later on down the road, if this project is a success I would like to do a few volumes of the same, maybe after four or five guides later on. My outlook on this is I’d like to help and get the help in the hands of those who need it in anyway that I can. Since another eBook as been “in the cards” for me for a while, figured this might be the best of both worlds.
