ColorPix
Posted by: | CommentsI don’t know about you but I am so tired of surfing the net, finding superb colours online only to struggle to replicate them. You see I don’t have all of that whizz bang software that can do all of those things and if you are anything like me then I’m pretty darn certain you have also struggled to match colours you’ve found. I tell you I have several so called colour matching websites bookmarked but none of them really do the job very well or without a lot of hard work involved…well not anymore!
One of my very dear friends sent me a link to this little tiny piece of software that you can use to match absolutely any colour anywhere that your mouse can hover over. I have been using it for the last few days now and I tell you it would have to be one of the best finds for me (especially since I am currently working on a site 
) It only takes a few seconds to install and you are all ready to go with it. Anyway I’ll stop rambling, you can find ColorPix here
Please let me know what you think of it afer you give it a go.
Search Engine Optimisation Course

It is all fairly self explanatory so I won’t go into it too much here, you can read all about it yourself at http://searchengineoptimizationcourse.com/ be sure to let us know how you go with it.
Keyword Selectors
Posted by: | CommentsLast time we discussed how Search Engines Rank Pages and one of the ways they do this is by using the keywords in the meta tags for each page of your website. When you create a web page you are trying to gain maximum exposure to search engines for the content on that page.
One of the ways to do this is by the use of Keywords, that are placed in your meta tags. Take a moment to choose a page on your website and read through the content. What is your target audience for that particluar page of your site? For example if you had a scrapbooking site and the page was about creating a wedding layout, then the target audience would be scrapbookers creating wedding pages and albums.
So the aim here is to select appropriate keywords and use them both in the content and in the meta tags, or pull certain keywords straight from the content and place them in the pages meta tags. So for example, using the scrapbook wedding page, we may select the keywords, wedding album, wedding layout, scrapbook wedding to name a few, ensuring that the keywords are used in the body of the content.
You can also do a little hunting for keywords and see how often some of them are actually being searched for, here are a few sites that may assist you.

What Can I Do From Home?
Posted by: | CommentsI am sure that this would have to be the most asked question of mums that have young children. They really don’t want to return to work, but either need or want to earn some type of income and still remain at home with their children.
The first thing I would recommend you do if you are at this stage is to grab yourself a notebook. Start jotting down everything you can think of that you can do and everything that you love to do. Look back over your list and narrow it down to things that you know you can do from home.
Quite often if we start by doing something that we totally enjoy, we are much more enthusiastic and willing to learn and step out of our comfort zones.
From here you will want to decide if you need to get a work at home job or to begin your own work at home business. This is a big decision and one that needs some thought. Do you need to earn an income today? If your answer is yes then I would recommend you look at a work at home job, that way an immediate income will no doubt be guaranteed to you.
If not then the world is your oyster so to speak and we delve further into starting your own work at home business later.
