When it comes to computers — backup, backup, backup

Gary — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:29:57 +0000

I’ll bet you’ve heard this advice more than a few times: Always backup the data on your computer in case of hard drive failure, fried motherboards, or whatever might destroy it all. But have you REALLY taken it to heart? I haven’t, yet I’ve personally had three hard drive failures over the last 5-10 years. [...]

Western Governors University offers quality online learning

Gary — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:00:13 +0000

Having gone to college in an era well before the Internet was invented, I never had the option of something as exciting as Western Governors University (WGU), with the many educational advantages they offer as an online university — not just any online university, but one praised and recommended by such sources as “TIME” magazine [...]

Do know about ‘EzineArticles.com’? You should check out the site

Gary — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:43:21 +0000

It just occurred to me that, in my eagerness to bring you frequent “Useful Websites,” there are some fundamental sites for writers that I’m missing. So let me remedy that right now with this one — “EzineArticles.com.” If you are at all interested in Internet writing, you’ve probably already found ezinearticles.com. But just in case [...]

Here’s a useful reference site for researchers, writers

Gary — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:13:58 +0000

Maybe I’m coming late to the parade on this one, but I just ran onto “wikiHow — The How-to-Manual That You Can Edit,” and it looks like a very useful site for writers and researchers. It’s one of those great places like Wikipedia, where you can get caught up and spend hours of your time, [...]

Do you use Internet reference tools? What are some of your favorites?

Gary — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 17:44:19 +0000

It’s been called the “information Superhighway,” but I’ll bet that most of us barely scratch the surface of information and research tools available online when we do our writing. I invite you to share your favorites with all of us. I had a conversation awhile back with a young woman who admitted that she rarely [...]

Making use of online resources and useful websites, especially for writers

Gary — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 18:17:57 +0000

(Editor’s Note: This is another “recycled” post, one of the “golden oldies” of the blog which I’m bringing back to the top of the blog to feature their content again for those who haven’t been around here too long. Enjoy.) I won’t pretend to know of all the writing web sites out there, many of [...]

He doesn’t claim to be a ‘guru,’ but you really need Paul Myers’ free newsletter

Gary — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:36:28 +0000

I don’t know if this guy’s considered in that rarefied group deemed to be “gurus” or not, but I’ll guarantee you his free newsletter is absolutely worth gold to anyone wanting to do an online business of ANY sort. His name is Paul Myers. His newsletter, “Talk Biz,” is sort of “irregular” in publication as [...]

This is for all you ‘Well-Fed’ writers out there — take a look

Gary — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 16:20:13 +0000

This post is for all you “Well-Fed” writers out there — and I hope you’ll take a good look at “The Well-Fed Writer” website I just linked to in this sentence. I have been remiss in never mentioning The Well-Fed Writer website and the site’s creator, writer Peter Bowerman. Several years ago when I bought [...]

I highly recommend you take a look at this Audie Murphy site

Gary — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 03:02:50 +0000

I highly recommend that you take a look at this “Audie L. Murphy Memorial Website,” for a full account of this remarkable man. As a follow-up on my last post, I felt compelled to direct you to a wealth of information about this remarkable man, who was not just one of my personal favorites in [...]

Quick tip with link for all you WordPress bloggers out there

Gary — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 04:42:03 +0000

Here’s a quick tip with a valuable link for all you WordPress bloggers out there who may be a little disenchanted with the administration area of the new 2.7 version. Namely, if you’re like me, you find the redesign that put the WP 2.7 navigation stuff in the sidebar instead of the top, horizontal navigation [...]
