Hello. So glad you stopped by. Summer seems to be over. And we are heading towards fall.
Our weather here in California has been pretty weird. We had a spell of humid hot sticky weather,
which we really never get. And that was followed by cold and rain. Its just been weird weather.
Well, the CD graphics are almost finished. And from what I have seen, they look fantastic! The CD cover
will be in pinks, oranges and reds. It looks very upbeat - just like my music ! I am so glad
I had the patience to wait, and get it done right.
I have discovered some really fun things on the Internet lately:
Fun Internet Thing Number One:
First, if you are looking for an easy way to help out your favorite charity, check out Zeal.com.
For every website you rate, your favorite charity gets 2 cents. For every website you add
to the Zeal database, your favorite charity gets 10 cents. I have been earning money for donations
to the American Cinematheque.
Click on this banner, and make sure you tell them that Zeal member Sunnysky58 sent you.

Fun Internet Thing Number Two:
If you are a major web-surfer, I suggest you download
The KatieSoft Web Browser. This browser works with Internet Explorer. It divides your screen
into four squares - and all four squares can have a different website on them. You can make the
squares bigger or full size. And if you are surfing through a link page, all you have to do is
drag the link to another square, and it opens up the link in the other window - leaving the link
page you were viewing still opened in the first square. You can even have Excel spreadsheets,
or word processing in one window - and a website in another window. This is a great surfing tool!
Fun Internet Thing Number Three:
Also, if you are into pretty things - check out
Hotbar.com. This will create pretty pictures on your Internet Explorer tool bar. You can collect
all the other pretty hot bars other people have made, and you can make your own. The only bad
part is that it adds one more bar to your tool bar, making your screen a tad smaller.
Fun Internet Thing Number Four:
But I also found out that Microsoft now has Toolbar Skins for Internet Explorer. It is on the
Web Accessories page at Microsoft
Updates. It comes with about 10 skins you can use, as well as the wallpaper in your windows
files. I am trying to find out how to make my own skins, and when I do, I will let you know.
Looks like right now the Microsoft Toolbar Skins are still in a test phase.
If all that sounds like I have been a computer nerd lately - well, then I guess so ! I just got
to get out, and take Diamond to the park, before winter hits. And yes, we do have winter in
California !
Until next month,
Donna
