I was just visiting a blog and the blogger wrote she was getting the message she was out of photo storage space on her blog.  She was directed to buy more storage space.  Many other’s commented on her post stating they hadn’t heard of such a thing.  Of course, I had to research this, and found it is very true, us bloggers on blogspot are only allowed a maximum of 1024MB of storage space for photos.  Now if you’re thinking…well there aren’t may photos on my blog.  Don’t let that fool you.  Go to Picasa and sign in (this is where blogger stores all your images).  You will be amazed at what you find for pics being stored.  Rather than me spelling the whole deal out for you, I am going to direct you to the post I found on this:

A suggestion: Copy and paste the post to save in your computer in the event you ever run into a problem ….exactly what I am going to do.  Plus it will remind me to “clean house” every once in a while.

Are you missing posts from pages and/or family and friends?  FB recently changed their privacy settings (again). Because of this, you may just be getting the posts/feeds from those you interact with THE MOST! Changing the settings is very easy…here’s how:

1. From your FB wall (not your profile), change the setting by clicking on the arrow next to “Most Recent.”
 
2. Select from the drop down menu “edit options.”

3 At the top of the pop up, you will see “Show Posts From,” and you can choose one of two options. The default now is “Friends and Pages You Interact with Most.”  To start seeing everyone again, you need to choose the option “All of Your Friends and Pages.”

4. Click  “Save.”

You are now up and running like you used to be…now seeing the posts you’ve been missing due to FB’s Privacy Changes.  Thanks to Simply Stacie for passing this information on.

Today didn’t seem like a very productive day…actually it wasn’t!  The computer mouse didn’t want to work, Internet kept freezing up, LNA changed her hours at the last minute…which changed my routine,…you know…just one of those days!  I was able to manage putting together some freebies you may be interested in.  If  you aren’t,  maybe you can sign up for them anyway, and give them to someone in need.  


My favorite today is Amazon’s free MP3’s!  This saved me, or should I say my daughter as she saved $2.00 by getting 2 songs for her iPod, and nothing came out of her iTunes account.  Yes, I do think she needs to thank me…without me…she wouldn’t have known about he promotion 🙂  Hope your Tuesday is fabulous!…Sue


Here’s to freebies!…


Proctor and Gamble coupon booklet worth $110 on their Facebook page…sign up…wait a couple weeks and it will be in your mailbox.  Originally available thru a rebate form….now it’s free.


Valspar Paint…NOTE the time change when giveaway begins if you haven’t scored your’s yet!


Free Valspar Paint Sample and $5 Coupon Giveaway (1,000 daily at 9am CST) 


Oxy Clinical Sample:  Get your sample here.

 



Amazon FREE MP3’s $2 credit…this works a little differently this time around.
{Coupon code good thru 2/14/11}

Here’s what you need to do:
1. Go to Amazon’s website
2. Find the MP3 album or song you would like to “give.”  Click the “Give album or song as a gift” located under Get MP3 on the right hand side of the site. 

3. Follow the instructions to personalize your MP3 gift and then “Proceed to the Checkout” button.
4. At checkout enter coupon/promo code VDAYMP3S – you will be told you have a credit.
5. Click on the “Give song as a gift” button to complete your order.  If you still have a credit left, the credit will be deducted from your next music purchase.


Amazon ebook:  A Promise to Remember By Katherine Cushman







This ebook can be read on your PC & Mac, Kindle, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry, iPhone, Ipod Touch, iPad,  and Android.


Go here for your Free Reading App.  My thought is even if you don’t own anything but a Mac or PC, why not download the free books you are interested in anyway?  If you get another reading device, you can read the same book you are currently reading on another app as well.  You’ll pick up right where you left off in other apps.  For example, if you are reading a book on a PC and then read later on a Kindle…you will pick up right where you left off when you were reading on the PC.


Carefree Ultra Protection liners or Stayfree Ultra Thin Pads  FREE Sample and coupon  


Free from Home Made Simple “Organize in Style” coupon book…get your’s here.  Over $35 in coupons and tips for organizing and decorating your home like a Pro.

I was just reading an article on the Right at Home site that I think is very appropriate to share considering the weather we are having in NH.

That being….spray your shovel with Pledge before shoveling….reapply as needed. The snow should slip right off the shovel rather than sticking to it as it often times likes to do.  Another handy tip (or so I thought), cover your side mirrors with plastic grocery bags to avoid frost and ice build up.  Now, someone recently said to me… leave your wipers in an upright position on the windshield to avoid them being caught in the snow/ice.  I am not sure I buy this 100%.  The wipers may not get the build up, but before you are able to work them, you’d have to make sure the ice around the wipers was gone or they wouldn’t glide right.
