Yes, it’s true! You can do a good deed each day with a simple click!

It’s indeed that simple! There are six sites, each dedicated to a specific humanitarian need, which you can visit every day and with just a click you will help making a difference in this world.
Each site is focused on a specific need and allows supporters to benefit leading charities with simple, everyday online actions such as clicking to give and shopping to give more. That goodwill translates to funding for established nonprofit organizations that implement vital programs and initiatives. (more…)

Financial Services for Individuals, Families and Businesses

nicusor — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:15:43 +0000

Finance covers a broad spectrum of subcategories from basic, personal financial practices (i.e. creating a spending budget to save enough money for a new car, better apartment, or even a house) to complex applications (i.e. managing corporate mutual funds or managing risky assets). As a consequence of this gradation, certain financial needs may require understanding beyond the average person’s financial education level in order to be satisfied. It can be quite an undertaking to thoroughly educate oneself in all of the relevant financial services in order to make the most appropriate decisions given varying situations. A financial advisor, however, has the training and expertise to pinpoint what you need. (more…)

Official and Third Party Warranties

If you have a telephone, watch television, or have looked at the unwarranted mail you receive each day then there is a good chance that you have seen or heard of a ‘third party warranty’. But what is it and how does it help you? Warranties in general are supposed to protect you from damaged goods and car warranties are no exception. But a third party warranty isn’t from the manufacturer or dealer, so there can sometimes be a questions as to if they work, how they work, and it they are worth the money to purchase one. (more…)

Stay Healthy this Flu Season!

When you ask someone what their favorite season is, you’ll never hear anyone say “flu season“. That’s because having the flu is miserable and in some cases, it can be dangerous. When flu season rolls around, thousands of people get sick and it tends to make its way throughout the house messing with everyone at some point. If someone in your family brings it home, you might as well prepare for getting it. While that’s not always the case, it does happen a lot. (more…)

Stop Your Addiction!

I guess that everybody has their little addictions - could be anything: coffee, smoking, drugs, alcohol, food, sweets, women, buying, money, working, cars, speed, games, computer, blogging and so on… - some might be good and some of them might not, as long as you don’t lose “little” on the way! Otherwise, all of them are bad!

There are two which I consider to be the worst of them: drugs and alcohol! Because these are literally destroying the body bit by bit, the mind and the spirit of anyone who’s addicted to either one or (even worst) to both.

I was telling you in a previous article - Javascript - text resize - how you can give your site’s visitors the possibility to see your page’s content at different text sizes, using javascript. Let’s take this further and think a little about the user… now, if he really needs a bigger text size, then he will have to use those buttons or links on each page - not so convenient, right?

Well, don’t you worry about this because that’s what we have cookies for!

Using the same example as in the previous article, here is what you have to do:
