Geocitites Will Be Closing!

the number of free webhosting sites has now shrunk by one!

Yahoo has announced that they are shutting down their Geocities site. Just in case you didn't know, Geocities was one of the free webhosting sites online!

There are still quite a bit of free webhosting sites online so if you need to move your sites from Geocities, just do a search for some (other) free web hosting sites.

Facebook Fans In An Uproar!

Personally I'm not a member of Facebook. However what I do know about it is that is seems to be a social networking-type website along the lines of MySpace.

I see that those that do belong to Facebook are up in arms about some changes that Facebook has made and I decided to find out more about it.

On February 4, 2009, Facebook changed their terms of service. Here is what another blog post has posted about the change:

"Anything you upload to Facebook can be used by Facebook in any way they deem fit, forever, no matter what you do later. Want to close your account? Good for you, but Facebook still has the right to do whatever it wants with your old content"

When you sign up with Facebook, you grant them the use of anything that you upload to them and you grant them the right(s) of irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute those things that you have indeed uploaded to them!

Getting Donations For Your Blog (or Website).

This isn't exactly a freebie but it is a nice idea if you are so inclined!

Do you want to be able to accept donations on your website or blog? Well then all you have to do is sign up for a Paypal account at Paypal.com.

You will need to have a bank account - hopefully one that provides you with a debit card - otherwise you will need a credit card.

Once you have been accepted and are part of Paypal you can then get your html coding for adding a donation button. You copy and paste that html coding on your site where you want it to appear.

Once a visitor to your site decides to donate, they will click your donation button and donate either a set amount of money (specified by you) or they can donate any amount that they want! Once they have made the donation it will show up (almost instantly) in your Paypal account! Then you can have that amount transfered to your bank account or you can sign up for Paypal's debit card account where you will be able to use the money as soon as it shows up in your Paypal account.

*Please note that there will be a fee for money that is posted to your Paypal account!

Playlist.com

Just found another great website that offers something great!

With Playlist.com you can select songs and add them to your own customized playlist.

As far as I know this service is totally free.

Since I have just joined this service today I just have one song on my playlist - so far! I was thinking about having "silly" songs on my playlist because of all the flak that I am getting because of my BX Error Code Blog

Here is my current playlist:
