Do you send postcards to your customers? Ever thought about sending? Maybe you should! When we meet people online, interract with them, it's nice to remember the people with a small gift or by sending a thank you -card to them. There are several online services for printing out cards. You can do it with your home printer also but to get a better quality, low cost prints there's for example the VistaPrint. Here's a sample card you can take a look or save it to your computer (there's a download link below it) for editing it with your details and getting it printed out. :) Regards, Armi.

I'm writing this post with ScribeFire Next, an add-on for Firefox browser.

So, how's the ScribeFire? You can use it with Firefox or as an extension to Chrome, Opera etc.

You can post to blogs from Wordpress, Blogger, TypePad, Windows Live Spaces, Tumblr, Posterous, Xanga, LiveJournal, or any other blog that supports the MetaWeblog or MovableType APIs.

Here's what you do:

• After installing the add-on restart your browser.
• Click on the icon to open the ScribeFire.
• Add your blogs in.
• Click Start A New Post.
• Write a post. You can edit it as you wish and add photos, videos, links etc.
• Add tags to your post.
• Click Publish Post.

What makes ScribeFire Next very cool is that after you have made the post you can add the same post to your other blogs or edit it a bit and publish it in another blog. Also if you're making a series of blog posts you can save/publish/scedule them all at the same time. Saves a lot of time. Not to mention you don't have to log in to your blogs for posting but can post straight from your browser where ever you are. You have the upper half of your screen for surfing while you're writing your post so it is easy to check things or add links etc. when you don't have to change tabs. Just open anything you need to the upper half of your screen.

Try it out and let me know how do you like it?

When we decide to do something, there are many things or activities that will not give you the result you want in just one single action. For example, we can not get good muscle by just doing one session of exercise. We can not be healthy by just eat one meal of valuable and nutritious food. We will not get good relationship by just spending only one full day with a person and stop seeing him for ten years afterwards. We will not get in touch with our spiritual leader in just one pray. We can not be wealthy by saving up one month of income. We can not be intelligent in any area by reading and practice only one time. All these actions will need to be repeated in a regular basis until they create results. Unfortunately, a lot of people stop doing after a few attempts thinking that the process will not work for them since they have tried a couple of time. This is why consistency comes in the way to be the norm of whoever needs success. We need to understand the importance of consistency and harness its principle to our lives.

I know many restaurants which were very successful in their opening. They have many customers who admire what they provide either the quality of foods or their service. However, as time goes by, a number of restaurants take it for grant and start lowering their standard. The customers notice the change and they start to stop coming. Finally, those places are either closed down or sold to somebody else. This is the lack of consistency. It is the same way that a student lacks consistency and need to study hard near the exam time or he will fail. I think all of us know the importance of consistency but still we sometime do not follow through and a lot of time throw off what we intend to do regularly. We always give ourselves reasons, most of them are what we believe good ones, to not doing what we supposed to do. Do not let this happens to you. We need to create ourselves to have the habit of consistency in the activities that we need to do in order to master our lives. I have four steps that will help us on creating this habit.

Step 1 Get uncomfortable or disturbed when you do not follow through

According to the principle of psychology, people do things either to avoid pain or get pleasure. When you feel painful enough, you will make it happens. How are we going to do that? We need to see the picture of ourselves do not achieve the result we want. We need to ask ourselves if it is bearable to us if we fail. What we will feel. We can surround ourselves with the better performers who have higher standard. We will surely get disturbed when we compare ourselves with them.

Step 2 Check your reason. Stop rationalizing

We often give ourselves reasons for not following through. We need to ask ourselves if this is true or it is just our rationalization. Be careful on our judgment when we need to review the reasons we give to ourselves.

Step 3 Break down your goals into a smaller unit

There is an interesting question on how you can at an elephant. The answer is one bite at a time. We can do better with big task divided into small goals. Each easy accomplishment will give you power to continue the task regularly. The reason people give up their consistency is that they could not stand the feeling of boring doing the same thing with small or no result. If you have small goals in your task, you will be able to achieve it on the way and you will not be bored.

Step 4 Always have goals in your mind

Continuously look at your ultimate goals and tell yourself why you need to achieve it. What will you get from succeeding? Who will benefit from that? What will you feel? Visualize as if you have achieved your goals. Regular visualization will stimulate your to follow through. In addition, you can always have some other tools for example photos of your family, your dream car etc, to remind yourself on your goals. This will activate you to your consistent actions.

We can master our destiny by mastering our habit of being consistent on what we are doing. The four steps here will help you on how you can manage to be consistent and be successful.

I thought I take the advice of Seth Godin and start writing something into this blog every day. You don't need to be perfect to start with. You will get better just by writing.

    I joined the Blog Catalog today. It's like the name says a catalogue for bloggers to add their blogs in. At Blog Catalog you can read blogs under variety of subjects and rate them, chat with the authors etc.

Hi!

If you use Flickr for your photos you can ge a code for embedded slideshow of your photos from http://flickrslidr.com/ 

The code looks somewhat like this:

< iframe align=" center" src=" http:// www. flickr. com/slideShow /index.gne?group_id=&user_id=&set_id= YourPhotoSetID " frameBorder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no"></iframe >

You need to add YourPhotoSetID number into the code to above for it to work.
