Gotta question

It happens to me all the time that I am halving a recipe and can't remember half of 1/3 cup or some other measurement.  I found this website True Knowledge that allows you to type a question and it generates an answer.  I like this site because it is much more helpful than Yahoo Answers  or other message boards where people give answers that tend to confuse or even insult.  You just get an answer and it's precise as well.

I have yet to use it for anything else, but it is sure nice to have answers at your fingertips.

Website Review -- Coupon Chief

Recently, I was asked to do a review for the website Coupon Chief.

Coupon Chief has a very simple focus -- to give coupon codes for discounts to online retailers. You can search by store or common tags, such as jewelry, clothes, or health.  For example, you can search codes at a store, such as Target or a tag, such as toys.  This is helpful in finding exactly what you are looking for.  It is easy to navigate and the coupon codes are in large font.  You can simply copy and paste the code as you checkout at an online store.  Codes include discount offers, percentage off and free shipping. The site doesn't seem to get distracted with other discounts or money saving tips, which keeps the website clean and focused.

Sign up free for Coupon Chief and you can receive even more benefits. In Coupon Chief's "Pays 2 Share" program users are allowed to submit a coupon code and earn 2 percent of the sales made from the coupon.  Users can also comment on the coupon codes and click whether they worked or not.  I especially like this feature because sometimes codes expire and no longer work.  With other coupon code sites I've read, it can be very hard to find current deals.  Coupon Chief appears to stay current and allows the users to relay pertitent information about each code to other users.

I like the video tutorial of how the site works.  It is simple to understand, especially for visual learners. It's helpful to know exactly what the website is about without having to sift through pages and pages of small type.  The video is informative and gets right to the point

Coupon Chief will be useful for anyone who shops online and wants to get a discount in the process.  I've been to other coupon code sites that don't offer such ease or comphrensiveness.  Coupon Chief is your one-stop shop for online coupon codes.

Note: “CouponChief.com invited me to peruse their vast supply of coupons in March 2010.  I received compensation for this review, which reflects my opinion.

All About the Kids -- Website Reviews

Totsites

I found this website while I was pregnant and wanted to share ultrasound pictures with lots of people, but didn't really want to e-mail them to everyone. What are you suppose to do with all those pictures people e-mail you? So I searched for an alternative. I found http://www.totsites.com/, which is easier than easy to use. And it is free. There is an upgrade that costs some money -- $30 a year. For the free service you get a homepage that includes a journal, guestbook, fun facts, 5 MB of photos (I have about 75 photos upload right now), really cute designs, and the ability to send mass e-mails to family and friends. The upgrade includes more photos, more designs, video feeds, and few other things I didn't seem to need. Anyone who want to showcase their kids online in a private manner should use this site. Highly recommend!


Preschool Express

I found this website http://www.preschoolexpress.com/ when I was looking for a ladybug pattern. There are simple patterns with simple themed ideas. What I particularly like is that the patterns in the Pattern Station are three sizes, giving lots of options to do many lessons with the same shape. There is a variety of songs, art ideas, games and lots more in a really easy way to find and search. I like when I can find what I am looking for without having to click six different links and find out what I want isn't there. Great for finding activities for the preschool child! Highly recommend!

ASL Sign Language

I am a firm believer in teaching communciation at every level. For those who can't talk, they can still communicate with sign language. This webiste http://www.aslpro.com/cgi-bin/aslpro/aslpro.cgi gives short video on every day words. I usually go to the ASL for Babies tab on the top. Sometimes the people look a little silly doing the signs, but overall the website provides an excellent tutorial guide on how to do sign language. Highly recommend if you want to learn!
