PrimoPDF if a great tool to have in hand, if you need to do some printing but you don’t really want to have a paper copy laying around. This is a free tool that outputs high-quality PDFs. The very easy to understand user interface scores tons of points for me too. You also have the ability to optimize the PDF output for a screen, print, ebook and will add document information for you- such as the title, author, keywords and more. Download this free application and try to tell me it doesn’t replace your current print to PDF option.

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:
- Moving from Web Host to Web Host
- Getting going with your own Ecommerce Store Online
- How to Find a Job in the Web Hosting Industry
- Best Methods and Tips for Setting up a New Blog
- The Ever Popular Handy Guide to Domain Names
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.

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.

I was just looking at some classic posts of mine from back in 2004 here.
I don’t know by how much I have grown as a writer in that time - I like to think there has been a little leap in quality and class. I’ll let you be the judge of that though. Still relevant even after all these years - here are a few of my very first posts for this blog right here.
Many of these made there way in one way, shape or form into Lockergnome’s Guide to Web Hosting. I’m really starting to get the itch to do another self-help book about the hosting industry - just need to find the time to get it all written.
In comparison with what I know now with what I knew then I think I could help even more people out. What do you think?

I was clearing out some of my old articles I had written in the past, and I ran across this jewel that I wrote over a year and a half ago. This was cut out of my first eBook Lockergnome’s Guide to Web Hosting by myself. Why? I thought it might be a little “on the edge” for your average person interested in learning more about Web hosting. Read the rest of this entry »
