Here are three more must bookmark URLs, all provided by the CoolUtils site. The company produces and sells easy to use file conversion programs and other utilities, and has made some functionality available to us free through these links. You can find the links on the company’s home page, but not too easily, so I’ve provided a direct link to each useful resource right here.

Bookmark for when you need it… check out this huge free collection of public domain photographs (government sources) on a wide variety of subjects. Looks like there are a couple of thousand images here, mostly black and white, many of which are high resolution (print suitable), all more than adequate for online use.

If you’re looking for basic accounting software for your freelance writing business, the latest version of Microsoft Office Accounting Express may fit the bill if you’re a Windows user.
I’ve never used it — I’ve been an Intuit Quickbooks user for years, since its very first MS-DOS version (MS-DOS, hehe, now that brings back memories) — so can’t really tell you if it’s good or bad.

Stupid me — what with all the powerful features WordPress provides that I don’t even know of let alone use, I thought this functionality was already built-in. Apparently not.
Why not, WordPress? That it’s missing from WordPress’s basic set of features is surprising considering how critically important it is, I feel, for us to have interactive sites. This does nothing if not help tremendously in that respect.

Although I have long since come to the conclusion that worrying about plagiarism is probably one of the most counter-productive things writers can waste their energies on, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be ready to deal with that eventuality. After all, the Internet is a plagiarizer’s dream.

I just spent the better part of the day changing the site’s “theme” design, which took far more time than I thought it would. Which means I couldn’t get around to writing the stuff I was planning on writing today. Sorry about that.
But let’s see if we can salvage something “educational” from today’s experience.

Not to sound too paranoid… but if you think that email message you just sent is safe and secure, think again. Email is notoriously insecure. That’s just the nature of the beast.
Not that there have been no solutions for secure and private email communications. But they’ve usually been on the PITA end of practical for the layperson (as in, heck, if it’s that much trouble to comprehend let alone to implement the few occasions you need it, just print out the darn thing, stick it in an envelope, put a stamp on it and drop it in a mailbox).

I am not an SEO expert — in fact, I’m batting around the idea of hiring someone to handle it so I can focus on stuff I actually want to futz around with, like writing these posts and developing more useful site content — but we do have to deal with it if we want to get our sites some serious play online.
Note to you freelancers who don’t have websites/blogs, eyes glazing over right now and thinking of moving on: You may want to pay attention. There is a fast-growing demand for freelancers who can pump out keyword optimized online articles and content.

Yesterday, I introduced you to the AdSense-Deluxe plugin for WordPress that lets you very easily manage and control your blog’s Google AdSense advertisements.
But AdSense surely isn’t the only thing I use it for.

You may have noticed that the AdSense advertising that usually appears in the middle of these Wordpreneur posts has changed in appearance a tad. Thank my friend William Bontrager for a recent comment he made here on Wordpreneur (more on discovering really useful tips in blog comments).
What you may not have noticed, however, is that the AdSense formatting has changed throughout the blog, in all the posts.
How’d I do that so quickly?
