There are also a couple of templates you can use if your not sure what all you should include on your business card:

Makebadge.com will help you get a business card created, saved or printed in a flash.  I would highly recommend everybody go check out their website and try designing your own business card today.

Ever been browsing an article or guide online that you wish you could print out, without all the junk that the web site provides?  Print Friendly offers to make any web site out there easier to print.  You can use their web site tool to enter the URL you wish to simplify for your printer, or use the bookmarklet to gain access to the tool at any time. 

You can then e-mail the printer friendly version to your friends, tweet about it, or edit the document removing pictures or blocks of text. 

Want to add this interactivity to your own web site layout, maybe under each article that you post?  You can do that too by grabbing the Print Friendly button code.  For WordPress users, there is even a plugin you can install to add it to all your blog posts automatically.

Overall, Print Friendly is a pretty nice service, if you are looking to do a little article simplification, perfect for print. 

Better PDF Editing Abilities

Need an easy way to edit PDF files without the expensive PDF editor?  In the past, I have told you about creating PDFs via Open Office.   However, what if you could convert those PDFs to Word doc files to edit instead?  Pickup the Free PDF to Word Converter for Windows to get the job done.
