I’ve come across a website that lets me list my blog on 3000 websites for free! Other websites charge for this. Is this for real?

I love the built-in dictionary in Firefox! However, one pet peeve of mine is the use of American spelling (or misspelling) for words like favour, colour, etc. How can I stop Firefox from marking these as spelling errors?

I’ve been coming across a lot of blogs recently and am interested in starting my own. I’m a student, so don’t really have any money to splash out. Is there any way I can give blogging a try without spending too much cash?

Hello everyone! I thought I’d take a few minutes to explain what this blog is all about, what I have in mind for it’s future and how everyone can contribute.

So, let’s start at the beginning. How was this website conceived? Well, people ask me questions all the time, and one thing I noticed is that the same questions keep popping up over and over. So I thought I’d use this blog to post definite answers to questions people pose. The main aim is to answer a question once, and also keep adding more and more information to the previous questions as I discover more things. It should be fun!

So, how can you help? Well, in a number of ways. First of all, feel free to comment on any of the posts here. I’ll be researching each answer, but I’m sure there’s things out there that people know that can help make an answer more complete. Feel free to post it in. Next, I have a page for questions. If there’s anything that bugs you, just post the question up. I can answer most technical geeky questions, but if you post about other categories, I have friends who can help, each experts in their own subject-matter. Together we should be able to field most questions. Finally, tell all your friends about us. If you find interesting information, feel free to share it out, but we always appreciate if you can send traffic our way, it helps make the website better for everyone.
