Social Media Icons in .ico and .png Format - FREE

2012-02-08T11:43:00.001-08:00

Free Icons No Purchase or Login Required - Free Tools for your WebPresence

Lots of style, resolution and size choices (16x16 and 32x32 256 resolution for most uses). I have no affiliation with findicons.com. This is part of my Web Presence Tools "anything free is good!". I hope you can use them and enjoy them. Should you have any questions about linking or downloading please contact me with your question or comment. Your questions and comments will come to me personally, it will not be public. Val

My Favorites are Social Jeans - look how cute they are - fits right in with my cowboy hat.

Note: It is my experience: Free icon websites set up their site, of course to sell you something and this one is no different, but the selection(s) is very nice and easy to download. The drawback is: They may be up, only for a short time because it didn't generate the business or "sell you something" as expected. So get your icons, save them to your hard drive or USB drive. I recommend downloading both .ico and .png to have on hand the .ico, but use the .png most often for your email signature and linking uploads. An icon is worth a thousand words.

.ico images will not upload to many image editors. WordPress will upload .ico, but my template website and Zemanta will not. .png used to be just as troublesome, but no more problems uploading .png to just about everything. If you have trouble uploading .png's and .ico's use your gmail system and send yourself the formated image. Gmail will format the image to a .jpg right there in your email to yourself. Download the .jpg in your gmail-email to your USB or hard drive for future use.

All the icons you can think of are available for FREE - Stumble Upon, Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, MAC, Digg, My Space and so many more.

The "Jewels" in valsjewels

2011-12-20T14:45:00.000-08:00

I acquired the valsjewels domain name many, many years ago when I was direct selling lia sophia jewelry, hence the jewels.

At first I purchased valsjewels.net (did not have a clue what to do with it, subsequently it expired, I wasted about $200).

In 2007 I was laid-off from my corporate Network Engineer job and got the bright idea to design & sew Christmas Stockings, sell them on Amazon and supplement my out-of-a-job status. Mind you this is late in my life, so I took early retirement hoping to make ends meet while unemployed.

I went back to Go Daddy and purchased valsjewels.biz and set up a DBA under valsjewels (I'm still direct selling for lia sophia jewelry and thought the "jewels" part could work for both products).

Fast forward a bit and skip all the "hardships" in between 2007-2010 I learned from my Amazon Webstore and selling on Amazon.com everything anybody would ever need to know about Web-Templates, DNS, Meta, Tags, Widgets, Script, Head, Body, HTML, WYSIWYG, etc..

I purchased valsjewels.com and setup my own website with Just Host as my Hosting Service.
I discontinued my Amazon Webstore and parked my .biz domain name with Google AdSense.
I am my own webmaster.

My jewels have since become everything I do

selling other people's stuff on eBay/Craigslist/valsjewels.com for a commission (their stuff is my jewels)
selling my jewelry left over from my direct selling days
selling my handmade products and other's handmade
selling Amazon's products
selling myself - the jewels being my technology know-how and keeping up with lightning-speed changes, logic, determination and creativity to consult, coach and master the Internet for the online shopper and website owner (established or wanna-be)
Partnered with sosSimpleOfficeSolutions 2011

I know what you are going through to be digital and on the Internet (I've been there at least once). I can help coach you through it or do it for you (personal shopper and webmaster) site build and market your website and join the community networks like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and augment your marketing efforts.

Is Kindle Fire a stocking "stuffer" or "stuffee"????

Wishing you the most enjoyable, wonderful, full of happiness and surprises Holiday Season ever! Valerie

SALE and CLEARANCE Bins First

2011-12-04T13:09:00.001-08:00

Internet Applications Expert Coach DIY or DIFY Consultant - Social Media, Weblogs, Website - applications and navigation how-to specialist
You know when you are at a Retail Box Store; how you gravitate towards and always check out the SALE signs, stacks, bins and racks?
Well, here you go! Before you do any online shopping come to this page first and often throughout your online shopping (bookmark it!!!!). Your mission is to get what you want; from the best online store at the best price. Always remember to take into consideration shipping charges, handling charges, delivery and sales tax before you make your decision to "BUY".

IMPORTANT - Always, before you enter any personal info like credit card; look at the URL address and make sure you see https:// (if no https:// - get out, do not enter personal info, do not buy, do not checkout, close your browser if you have to). https:// means it is a secure site and your information is safe (it is the "s" at the end of http that makes it a secure site).

My Internet Online Deals page is the SALE sign to gravitate to that says 50%-75% off at the very least; top brands and CLEARANCE too. Take a quick look here first - what you want isn't here on SALE? - okay - hit the search engines or go to my aStore or Amazon.com

If you do not have an Amazon.com account - GET ONE - they are free, sign-up is easy, no purchase required; and get their "Add to Wish List" browser button - learn how to use it and use it all the time (you can put any URL into your Amazon Wish List, not just Amazon products). An amazing, time and money saving tool for internet shopping.

Wishing you the most enjoyable, wonderful, full of happy surprises Holiday Season ever! Valerie

2011-11-12T13:44:00.001-08:00

Internet Applications Expert Coach DIY or DIFY Consultant - Social Media, Weblogs, Website - applications and navigation how-to specialist

I became a Windows Server and Office specialist. By necessity, I learned programming language and other key technical stuff. From then on, I just had to keep training and tweaking until I understood it. It was no different when I got into the Internet - Hosting companies - HTML code - Templates - CSS - Blogs - Site Building - Site Administration - Domain registration - Passive Income aka Paid Ads.
I am not a developer or programmer or FTP or Dreamworks or FrontPage expert. However, I know enough to coach you through the basics of websites, site building, blogging, socially networking and paid ads. I'm an admitted user-geek who knows a little bit about an awful lot, and unlike many users; I enjoy figuring these things out, or shall I say I am driven to get the answer.
I started my own website and am now an Amazon merchant selling their products, signed up with Google AdSense and making a commission.
I set up iGoogle - LinkedIn - MySpace - Blogger - WordPress - Facebook - Facebook Fan pages - Twitter - Word Press Live and TypePad. All posts and status streams are linked to post to each other with feeds (RSS) coded with Google AdSense.
I love what I do and do what I love. Coaching/Consulting you to get your very own website launched is what I live for and love to do. I keep things as simple as possible.
My Strengths: This industry races by faster than the speed of light. The second you have a full grasp on a technology, something newer, better, and totally different comes along. This is a constant, and it means my coaching education and knowledge must be ever-fluid and expanding. Without the want or willingness to learn new technologies or skills, my coaching or webmastering isn't going to be much use to my customers.

Android Battery Life Improvement - In the olden days as an "on the road" sales person I mapped out my contacts, clean restrooms and phone booths.

2011-10-29T14:17:00.001-07:00

So, now I have to "time" my battery life? Just to replace the "olden days" of mapping my routes with phone booths and hot spots for my laptop. Do phone booths even exist anymore??
Out of my LG Revolution (3G/4G), at least one day of network connection (a 10 hour day) is all I wanted. A simple hand held system to see and answer my emails, make a few phone calls without a battery charge. When the battery gets to half gone I panic easily. I've not yet to figure out how to set Adobe Flash to Turn On Only On Demand, but will shortly and let you know. The default on Adobe is set to On and I cannot find the Settings for my Browser, but will.
This article has helped a lot and I've unistalled some downloaded applications because they run all the time, even during sleep-mode. Important to me was to have connectibility with my clients, receive and answer emails while on the road. Very simple.

Improve Your Android Phone's Battery Life | PCMag.com
Whether it's a lowly LG Optimus or the latest myTouch 4G, here's how to get the most out of your Android-powered cell phone's battery.
Android-powered cell phones may be powerful devices, but devices like the Motorola Droid X and Samsung Vibrant don't have endless battery life. In fact, many owners would be happy to make it through a single day, hoping that a nightly recharge is sufficient.
Sadly, it sometimes isn't. A number of factors have conspired to reduce gadget endurance over the past several years. Thinner designs with less room for the battery, larger screens, faster processors, software that runs in the background, and power-hungry GPS chips all share responsibility. The move to 3G and 4G networks has also taken its toll. Our battery life test results drop significantly—sometimes more than half—when we're testing an AT&T or T-Mobile phone in 3G mode instead of 2G alone. Full Story . . . .

Facial Exercises Do Not Create Wrinkles

2011-10-04T13:40:00.001-07:00

Facial exercises for all ages

Facial exercises are not only for mature people to achieve a youthful, young, ageless and anti-aging face - but also for young people, to maintain their youthful looks.

Facial exercises are great for fighting wrinkles, and promoting a smooth, ageless, anti-aging skin.

Facial exercises do not create wrinkles

Facial exercises DO NOT cause wrinkles if done correctly - they actually help to make women and men look younger for longer, without a surgical facelift, by toning facial muscles. Surgical facelifts can be effective, but this type of cosmetic surgery is expensive, and can be traumatic. Why not try the free facial exercises as an alternative to a surgical facelift.

The free facial exercises will not be as radical as the facelift, but will assist in achieving a younger looking face, without wrinkles and lines.
