Finding “Stuff”, part 1
This the the start of a larger collection of instructions.
My Start Page:
I spend quite a bit of time on the internet doing research and whatnot for work, school, and just for. I have compiled a start page for me (and others) to use. It is similar to having bookmarks but is posted on my site so I can access it from any computer online. I can also make corrections to one page and have those links span “everywhere”.
What does this mean for you?
In the above menu, you will see a “Start” menu. It leads you to here. This is that page I spoke about.
On the right side (or if you are on a mobile device it is half way down) you will find a header for “Work”. Here you will find various links leading you to pages I use regularly and might you have benefit of.
I will cover many of these links in future posts in more detail. Some of these pages are free. In fact, most are, but some do require payment.
If you are looking for information to use regarding maps of your property, your deed, flood information, or a good free invoicing program, this is a great place to start.
There are various other links on this page, ranging from google to the National Weather Service out of Morristown, TN. For my computers, I choose to set this page as my home page. That way, I have access to my most pertinent links every time I open my browsers.
One area of note is the School section. Although most is school specific like Walters State Community College and Denver University, the three links at the bottom are very interesting.
The first is google scholar. It is a GREAT way to find scholarly articles without having to wade through the normal junk google produces. It is also a viable link to many court rulings.
The next is Prezi. Prezi is a presentation tool that is FREE. There are, of course, upgrades that cost, but the basic account is free and very functional. Prezi is like Power Point, only different. If you or a child has something to present, either in “public” or in class or on the interweb, give Prezi a try.
Finely, is Zotero. This is a citation software. If you are preparing a research paper, it is an excellent, FREE, site that stores the research as well as exports the citation in many formats (MLA, APA, Turabian, etc).
