Blogtastique

For free, you can set up a basic blog for yourself! To do so, start by clicking on the Basic Features link.

Basic Features – This section will tell you what you’re getting, it goes over the basic features and it explains how the service works. Now, you do need a place to host your blog, but there are a ton of free hosts you can use.

Some free hosting ideas are:

http://www.freeservers.com/
http://www.fateback.com/

Next, look at the themes so that you have a good idea of what you want your blog to look like. The Theme Viewer has many different themes for you to choose from. And I do mean a lot! You can sort through them with the checkboxes on the side as well. That makes it easier to find exactly what you want.

How It Works – You’ll find this section on the navigation bar at the top of the page. It will explain step by step what you need to do to get everything set up. But, basically, it breaks down into two easy steps for the Basic version.

You can also e-mail them at contact@blogtastique.com. If you do, include your full name and describe what you need or want. They will then contact you and work out the details. So, not only are you getting help for free, but it’s also personal help.

If you want to start a blog and it's your very first time doing so, I couldn’t recommend another Web site more highly than this one. Check it out today!

What does DRM Mean

DRM is short for Digital Rights Management and it mainly deals with copyright protection issues on CDs, DVDs, etc. DRM is the technology that publishers, who are the copyright owners, use to control the access of their data, including software, music, movies and some hardware. As I said before, DRM is associated with copyright protection and also technical protection measures. Both of those technologies work to secure the access of digital media and they both work in reference to the DRM design.

There are other types of DRM as well. One in particular is Enterprise Digital Rights Management (E-DRM). That type doesn't work so much with controlling digital media, but it's more on the side of corporate documents, such as Word, PDF, TIFF and AutoCAD files. E-DRM subscribers include Microsoft, Adobe and the EMC Corporation. There are some open source companies that take advantage of it as well.

The biggest thing that surrounds DRM is the controversy over it. Obviously, the music distributors and broadcasting companies object to any sort of copying music or whichever data they're working with. On the other hand, the consumers (you!) think otherwise. Some people think that if they pay their own money to buy the CDs or the DVDs, they should be able to do what they want with them.

If you try to copy any digital media, you may run into some problems, depending on the programs you use. For example, the digital media player software you use, like Windows Media Player, etc. Although copyright protection is making a bigger scene these days than in the past, it just depends on what type of media you buy to know how many problems you'll run into. There are also programs out there today that help you get past the copyright restrictions, but all of that just makes the controversy rise even higher.

DRM is mainly used in connection with the entertainment industry, but it's making its way to other media types as well. Even stores like iTunes and e-books have placed DRM restrictions on their material. It's so easy to duplicate data these days and everyone has to try and keep their information safe. I guess that's what it all comes down to.

I haven’t used my printer in a while. The ink cartridges are full but won’t print. When not used, cartridge (printer) heads can dry out, in turn preventing ink from flowing to the printer. If the head in on the cartridge itself, try placing the cartridge in a sealed plastic bag and place the bag in warm water. After 10 minutes, lightly wet the head, wipe it clean, and try it again.

Make the start menu work for you.

Right click the start button and choose properties. On the start menu tab, at the top, click the customize button, add or remove items or change the way they behave, by selecting or deselecting the appropriate check boxes. When you are done, click OK twice. Vista makes the changes immediately.
