2008 Drive for the Cure for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research
Today I drove a BMW Coupe for the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research. I love doing this! BMW is such an awesome company for donating to the research, too! This drive had a special meaning for me this year since my 39 year old niece, is overcoming breast cancer right now! So I gladly participate in this very worthwhile event.
The 2008 Hometown Hero is Stephanie Stanland. She is a 3 year breast cancer survivor. A mother of two young boys, she has gone through a lot with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. But, she has had a very strong faith and support system with her family, friends, and church members at Immanuel Baptist. Stephanie heads up the Thursday Group which is a long time organization for breast cancer survivors. She also has participated in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Race for the Cure. She has also created a comedic character called Miss Petunia where she entertains many organizations talking about her battles with breast cancer. She feels that laughter can be the best medicine in fighting this disease.

Uploading Images to Your Blog
You have a shiny new blog, right?
You are writing posts and maybe even some pages!
But something is lacking… what is it? Pictures!
I thought it might be helpful if you know a thing or two about uploading images (aka pictures or photos) to your blog.
1) You should NEVER just upload photos straight from your digital camera. Why?
Have you ever been to a website where a photo just creeps downloading? That’s because they didn’t resize the image before uploading it to their website.
Well they may “look” smaller on the screen, but that file size is still huge! Some of the newer digital camers put out photos with as large a file size as 3 or 4 Mb per Picture! Whoa! That will fill up a 50 Mb webspace very quickly!
Save your photos to your computer (Desktop, My Pictures – wherever you can find them again).
2) Resize the images in a graphics editor (No, Word is NOT a graphics editor!)
If you don’t have Photoshop or PaintShopPro or some image editing program on your computer, never fear! The Gimp is here! Just go on over to http://www.gimp.org, download the program and install it. It is pretty self explanatory, but basically you want to open the file, click Edit and resize that image. Save the newly resized image with a name similar to your original (i.e., yourphoto-small.jpg). If you need more help using The Gimp just go back over to their website and read. To make things easier on you, here is a link to The Gimp’s documentation. If you are going to blog, you really need to know how to do this!
Then if you are using WordPress for your blog, when the editor is open, click Add Media and upload y our image. You can put the original size image or a thumbnail sized image that when clicked on, will open the original (full-size) image.
There you go! It’s not hard. But image resizing is very important to your overall website. Not only do large images eat up web space quickly, you do not want to make your web visitors sit and wait forever for a photo to download.
Until next time….

Do You Google?
Well, what a dumb question, right? Everyone “Google’s” these days. The name has changed from a proper noun to a verb!
I thought it might be interesting to note some of the top Google features I use most:
Google Web Search
I, like the vast majority of the world, use the classic Google search as my main web search tool. It goes without saying that search is critical to business in many capacities. It is an invaluable tool for finding information and for getting others to find information about me and my company.
Gmail
Probably Gmail runs a close second. Many times my clients need to send large file attachments and Gmail can handle it. Some ISP’s also accept Gmail when my other email addresses are blocked for some reason (although I never knowingly send spam). The spam filter in Gmail is one of the best I have seen in the free email accounts. Messages are stored in the spam folder so I can go there periodically and check to make sure a “real” email hasn’t slipped though marked as spam. If that does happen, I just check the email and mark it as Not Spam and it is back in my Inbox where it belongs. And for a chuckle, I click on the Spam recipes that Google posts on the Spam Folder page.
Maps
I use the Google Maps feature frequently. This feature cannot only be of use to potential customers looking for your business, but also another time saver for when you need to find other businesses. I also use it when driving to unknown locations to get correct driving directions. It has been, in my opinion, the most up-to-date of the mapping sites online.
iGoogle
What can I say? I Love iGoogle. It can be customized with all sorts of widgets and everything I want to read is right there on one page. I love being able to customize it and change the theme so that it has a different look anytime I want it to.
There are many other features that Google offers like the image search (which I use sometimes for web design inspiration or just to see what some image looks like). I never take images from that section of Google because since they are already on the internet on a web page somewhere, they are copywritten to that site’s owner.
If you haven’t used Google for anything besides their classic search feature, you might want to look into the many other areas that this fine company has to offer.
