Create Your Own Website

Here's another Bob Rankin article I need to save: Seven Steps To Create Your Own Website.

Who Is/Was Saul Alinsky?

Click here for a HuffPo article by Peter Dreier entitled The Right Wing Resurrects Saul Alinsky. By now, many of us know he wrote a book entitled Rules for Radicals, because we have had it drummed into our heads by the likes of Newt Gingrich, Andrew Breitbart, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and especially Glenn Beck. According to them, Alinsky was the Godfather of the Obama administration.

Anyway, Drieier's article is a long one, tracing the career of the Chicago activist "often considered the founder of community organizing" who died in 1972.

Ask Bob Rankin

I want to put in a plug for Ask Bob Rankin (askbobrankin.com), a technology newsletter I subscribe to. I get a lot of interesting stuff from them, and some of the articles need to be kept, like this one: Five Cool Things You Can Do With Skype.

The headings are:
(1) Free conference calling has never been easier.
(2) Manage contacts and block nuisance callers.
(3) Record your Skype calls.
(4) Skype games and whiteboarding.
(5) Skype home security camera.

Each of these headings is expanded upon and further links are provided, such as this one: Use Skype as a Remote Video Security Monitor.

Askbobrankin.com provides a free, and frequent, newsletter.

Click here for an article called "Seven Tips for Savvy Online Shopping," at askbobrankin.com. In summary form: 1. Use price-comparison sites to find the best deals. 2. Before you buy, look for coupons that can reduce your final price. 3. Look for rebates and rewards. 4. An Amazon Prime membership may save you money. 5. Don’t forget eBay, especially if the item you seek is a staple rather than a fad of the moment. 6. Take advantage of group buying power. 7. Use social networking to your advantage. Bob explains each of the points in detail.
