Just added – 10 ways to protect your computer from Malware
Create a font of your own handwriting
I was just talking to some friends of mine that past week, and we were talking about how hard it is to write letters, and how much easier it is to type them. I’ve seen commercial software that does this before, but I found a website that does it for free!

First up, I’ve added two How To’s:
I have another one, “How to protect your PC from Malware” in the works, but it is rather extensive, so stay tuned.
Hope you enjoy, and if you want to request a topic to be added, just use the Contact link, or post it on Facebook. Either way works!
Image Re-size for Windows 7/Vista/XP
Have a picture you need to resize in a hurry? No problem! Microsoft has released an updated version of it’s Image Resizer. Just right click on an image file, or many images, and choose to either copy/resize, or resize the original.
This is a really nice utility, and for any picture enthusiast, this is a must have!
