Geek and Non-Geek Recommendations

Share

I got some cool links to show you at WordCamp. Also some non-geeky ones. :)


Okay, this one is AWESOME! It’s called SlideShare. You can go there and see, share, and add slides and notes and articles about so many things! This has got me bouncing off the walls. :D Storybook Style architecture? Yes! Forensic Anthropology? Got it! Taoism? Indeedy-doo!


Then there’s Sucuri.net. They sell security, but they have a FREE website checker. Type in your web site’s address (or that of any site you want to check, I suppose), and they scan it and give a full report on whether the site is blacklisted and/or infected. Mine, we’re all happy to know, is currently squeaky clean.


If you want to know how fast your website loads and how to make it load faster, go to the Google Developers site and sign up as a developer. Then go to the Google Developers Page Speed Insights and take it from there.


If you don’t have a website and you want one, and you don’t like Blogger or WordPress, you could try WIX. It’s free! It looks pretty amazing, actually. I have to stop looking. I’m getting jealous.


A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: What kind of house does your main character live in? What kind of house did he or she grow up in? What kind does he or she dream of having?
