DailyLit splits books up into short, daily excerpts that are sent to you via e-mail (or you can view them in your Web browser). You can select the frequency of the snippets — daily or on selected days of your choice when you're in the mood for reading.
If you get hooked on a particular book, you can request the next installment to be sent as soon as possible, which is handy. A number of classic books are available at no charge; beyond that there is a fee for more recent titles. Overall, I was impressed by this service.
Here's another useful Web site. Sometimes you need to a call a company only to discover that they don't make their contact numbers easy to find. Sometimes they even deliberately hide them!
HardToFind800Numbers.com functions exactly as the name sounds. You can search for any company, and often you'll be presented with options for customer service, general inquiries, or the head office.
Oh, and because the site lists 800 numbers, all the calls will be free, which is exactly as it should be. I suggest you bookmark this site for future reference — it's a handy one to keep a note of, and you might want to also tell your friends about it, too.
I'm always asked to recommend a reliable Web-hosting provider, and for a number of years I honestly couldn't make that recommendation, but now I can.
I've had such a great experience with hosting my sites at BlueHost.com that I have no hesitation in recommending them to you. Not only are they reliable, but the customer service and support is phenomenal.
The couple of times I had questions, I called the support number on the home page, got straight through to a human, who was most helpful and friendly, something I've never experienced from a Web host before!
The hosting package also includes CPanel and Fantastico. Don't worry if you don't know what these terms are; just know that they're good things that make it easier to work with your hosting.
