What's New ?

Google Local

Google Local is a new feature of the Google Search Engine. The service offers Businesses the opportunity to submit information that can be searched internationally. The search is narrowed by inputting a local community and a search item. For example: Search for Website Design and Denison, IA and PPP Design appears at the top of the results. Other website designers from other communities are listed later in the results.

Google Local 

Follow the link above to visit Google Local. Click on the link named "Information for Business Owners" at the bottom of the page to sign up and enter information about your business. It takes 10-15 minutes to sign up and fill in the appropriate information, then Google will send you a letter to verify the information.

This is a great opportunity to sign up for free.

Search Help

There are many search engines and tools available to aid us in searching the internet. Searching the internet for files or information can be tedious and even difficult.  A few tips may ease the search process and save several hours searching for that unique item you can't live with out.

First, start with the search engines themselves, many offer guides to assist you in your search. Here are a couple of links to get you started.

One More Time, Mister!

A man and his wife are awakened at 3 o'clock in the morning by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.
 "Not a chance," says the husband, "it is three o'clock in the morning!"
He slams the door and returns to bed.
"Who was that?' asked the wife
"Just some drunk asking for a push," he answers.
"Did you help him?" she asks.
"No, I did not, it's three in the morning and it is pouring out!"
" Well you have a short memory," says the wife. "Can't you remember 
about three months ago when we broke down and those two guys helped us?" 
" I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself !"
The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pouring
rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there ?"
"Yes" Comes back an answer.
"Do you still need a push ?" calls out the husband.
"Yes, Please!" comes the reply from the dark.
"Where are you ?" asks the husband.
"Over here on the swing!" replies the drunk.
