family-guide.co.uk

Well this is the first post on the new “Wayne’s Guide” category.

There are three things I want to share today that I have found while researching new tools and family services to share with you.

www.thirtydaychallenge.com - Parents Guide to Online Safety for Children - Flock.com

Number 1.

I have recently come across some no cost online training about building traffic to and developing websites.  It promises to help anyone from a complete beginner to an experienced pro and I have decided to share this with my readers for two reasons.  Firstly my aim is to take family-guide.co.uk to as many people as possible (well those who are interested in improving their family life) and the second reason is that I have been asked by a couple of people recently how to get started with a blog.

Now I always believe in helping where I can but if there is some professional training available then it is always better to take advantage of it.  So if you are interested in learning how to start/develop your own online business, website or blog then pop over to the 30 Day Challenge now and see if it will help you.  The main challenge kicks off in August but the “Pre-Season” as they are calling it (getting an understanding of the tools etc) starts today, 1st June 2008, so come on over at any time between now and August and have a look -> www.thirtydaychallenge.com

Number 2.

My daughter and eldest son are using the internet more and more and we are all aware that there are many dangers online which is why I am always looking for ways to ensure their safety without restricting their enthusiasm and inquisitive natures.  I came across a great short report recently, “Parents Guide to Online Safety for Children” which explains how to protect your child from online predators.  It is a very informative guide and certainly worth reading whether your children have started to use the net or not.  Download the report, in PDF format, by right clicking here and choosing “save file as”

Number 3.

Finally I have just started using a new web browser called flock.  I have been using it a few days now and it is pretty awesome.  It makes using the web a whole lot easier because the browser is more like an organisational hub that keeps track of everything.  Their info says this . . .

Flock is a social web browser that uniquely pulls together the people, photos, videos and websites I care about.  Check it out, I think you’re really going to like it.

You can download it for free at www.flock.com/invited/1212357575187
Enjoy it!

So if you are into all this social networking have a look and make it so much easier

See you all soon
