Hope that you are having a great weekend? If you are in the UK I hope that you also remembered to put your clocks back an hour!

I downloaded a programme called Picasa the other day which is excellent. I have trouble organising all of the photos I have so I decided to check it. It’s definitely the best photo organiser I have come across and it’s 100% free for life!

I am now using Picasa to organize my photos! Take a look at it by going to this article I have added about Google’s Photo Software.

The other free programme that I love is Google Earth with which you can zoom in on both your ancestors towns and villages as well as current locations. You can read about that at Google Earth and download it.

This week has been a little different than normal as we have had to adjust to my partner recovering from last week’s knee operation - however we are getting there! We have also been kept busy with the continuing development of sites that we have identified as meeting the needs of our visitors. There has been a tremendous reaction to the launch of our Hobbies and Home eBook Store and if you want to take a look then just click on the link.

Alongside that we have also launched The Hobbies Blog again which you can take a look at by clicking on the link. You will find it packed with information on a whole range of Home and Hobby subjects and I am sure you will enjoy it!

GenMates continues to grow and grow and we are continuing to get tremendous publicity for it. if you haven’t visited recently then you can do so just by clicking on GenMates! If you haven’t joined yet then click on GenMates and sign up today!

We are also currently investigating establishing another Genealogy Membership site which will have some additional resources and information available. More news on that as it becomes available.

Have a great week!

Living In The Clouds!

August 23, 2006 on 2:07 pm | In Uncategorized, Word Cloud, Family, Home | No Comments

We have taken the concept of Word Clouds which have become very popular in the Internet Marketing arena and given it a completely different twist for you our readers!

So what’s a Word Cloud? Well if you take a look at Family Garden Home you will see that they consist of Words behind which lie links to a whole host of Interesting sites related to Family Garden and Home.

There is even the option to buy a word that is already on the site but not yet taken at an absolute knock down price until 6pm (GMT) on 26th August 2006. After that date you will even be able to suggest your own word and link your site to it as long as it is Family Garden Home related of course!

Take a look at Family Garden and Home and all will become clear!
