Once again, Balkhis and Uzzz Production is proud to present you the Areebu template for phpLD and Wordpress. This template is named after my brother Areeb, who is also a part of Balkhis.

This template is special for directory owners because it contains category Icon mod, so category on the homepage will have unique icons. This mod is right now a paid one by another vendor, but I am offering it for free in this template.

All you have to do is get the category id number, and rename the icons to those numbers, and you can also add “.png” icons 48 x 48px size with more categories as you go. To find quality Icons, refer to my post Icon Pack for Webmasters.

Note for directory owners: When you install the template, It won’t work in the beginning because Category IDs are different in each database, so you will have to rename the icons or add icons. For those who doesn’t want this mod, I will add a version without the mod also, so for those who doesn’t want to go through the updating of the mod they can just download the other version.

Wordpress version is like normal. I have added some extra widget ready sidebars. If you don’t know how to use it than visit my post about how to create and use extra sidebars.

Alright well, I was informed by a cousin of mine about this freebie. By the way, He is also responsible for my success in this industry because 5 years ago, he was the person who pulled me into designing if it hasn’t for him I would still be running around like rest of the teenagers.

This deal basically lets you register one free domain at Register.com

Now I haven’t register a domain yet from them so can’t review the service, and I will probably not register any either because I already have too many sitting in my account and if I register another one, it will just go to waste, so I will let this offer be useful to those who are really interested.

Alright, now this is not an adsense ready template. I designed Zainu for those who want a corporate style look for their website. Zainu is being released on behalf of Balkhis Inc. and the designing credentials goes to Uzzz Productions. This is available for both wordpress and phpLD 3.3, so bloggers can use it just for blogs, and directory owners can use it for directories and have a matching blog.

It has becoming really hard to get sponsors for themes mostly because I don’t like posting my themes in public because there are not many serious bidders. If you want to get your link in the footer of my future templates contact me please.

Lets get back to this theme….

These supplies I found are very good for local or online businesses which are starting or are already established looking to promote their website a little more. Vista Prints has been offering free Business Cards for sometime now and many other webmasters including myself has gotten themselves these free supplies. Now, Vista Prints is offering more than just Business Cards. Yes now the free package includes, 250 Free Business Cards, 100 Free Post Cards, Free Sticky Notes, Free Pen, Free T-Shirt, Free Checques and more on their website.

I have ordered everything except for a cheque book because I already have one from my bank account. All you have to pay is Shipping.

This is one of the best opportunities you will get to promote your business offline at a fraction of price. They are also offering huge discounts once you finish your order on alot of their products.

250 Free Business Cards

You have to choose one of the predesigned templates and there are 42 of them available. The back side of the card will contain Vista Prints link which you can easily remove by paying $2 for having a blank backside, or $5 to get your own text (which I did) because if it is my business card I dont want to have someone else’s link on it, and I don’t mind paying $5 for adding a little of my own text because it is an affordable price.

Free Rubber Stamp - You ever wanted to just stamp your address on the letter rather than keep writing it over and over? This is a free rubber stamp that comes with an extra black ink. This was one of the cool thing that I liked in their free promotion.

100 Free Postcards

They have their own pre-designed templates which you can use to write a description of your product and such and send these post cards out to your friends and families. Vista Print also offer mailing service which I didn’t bother with, but you can certainly go with it if you need to send the post cards to the people in your area. You can also use these as the little brochure I talked about in my Local Advertising post.

Free Custom Hat - I didn’t see this when I ordered my other supplies, but I found it when I was looking later, this looks very cool because there are tons of premade templates, and there are two colors available.

Free Sticky Notes

This I found were cool but they only offer one set I believe. You can write sticky notes to people and it will have your Website’s name and url, so people will know about your website.

Free T-Shirt - One free T-shirt with a pregenerated logo from their company. It is something nice to have not too special but it is free.

25 Magnets for your Business - This $12.99 value is completely free for you. Now you can also give out free magnets with your contact information for people so they can put it on their refrigerator and will never have to look for your contact information again.

140 free Return Labels - As I mentioned above with the small rubber stamp. This is something similar, but much more prettier. You can get 140 colored labels with your name and return address, and won’t have to write your return address on the envelopes again. A great way to brand your business.

10 Free Notecards - Now this is what I like alot. Through this you can get 10 folded notecards, flat notecards, notecards with your own logo etc. These make a great gift for those people who you want to thank in your business. Especially when sending a business gift these cards are very helpful.

Car Door Magnet - Free Car Door Magnet for your Car door. Just put it on your car and advertise as you drive to places. This looks cool to me, another thing that I will be ordering in my second batch.

Free Wallet Check - You can customize your wallet check with 6 designs with Vista Print. The check book will contain 25 free checks.

Just an Advice for those who bothered reading this entire post, don’t order these individually… Order in bulk and save on shipping because ordering each individual will cost you $10 each, and ordering all together will cost somewhere around $15 and depending on how much more services you add.

I seriously recommend that you guys get these freebies because this is a great opportunity and not many things you will get in life which are free

Enjoy

These converters come in handy because you might be away from a house and if you are a student in college and couldnot open your presentation or some file due to technical difficulties use these handy converters to help yourself out in hard times.

Here i have collected a list of some very useful online converters which i hope you will all like and appreciate. Some of them are webmaster related while others are just general use.

Image Converters

As a web designer i use them alot, and i recommend one of these to alot of my clients. I will start this list of with the converter for favicon as i have been getting a few queries about that.

• • Auto Favicon from Images - Make your life easy by converting the image directly to favicon.

A few days back i bought this database which was horribly coded, and it was in excel format. Not just that it had ridiculous characters in there. It was a pain to convert that excel file to mysql.

I know there have been alot of problems with editing pdf forms. Atleast my teachers have these issues alot. So i told her to buy Adobe Writer if she needs it that bad. She said that is too expensive. I found this converter that converts PDF to MS Word, but below there are few more.

• • Multiextension-PDF - The best one i found so far for pdf. This One lets you convert the pdf file to numerous extensions from MS Documents to Plain text and images, and the files are sent securely to your email.
  • HTML to PDF - Converts html into pdf which comes in handy often.

Even though the great feedburner does this for all i thought i should just give two more option for those who don’t want to use feedburner to convert rss feeds to javascript.

• • RSS to Javascript - Converts RSS Feeds to Javascripts.
  • RSS to Image - Converts the rss feeds into an image.

Now i will post some random converters that are html related, i didnt know what to categorize them under.

• • Html to CSS - This one converts html to css and vice versa.
  • Html to … - converts html to java, php, perl

I have been keeping my favorite one to the last so if you bother to read this post till the end you won’t miss the best one of all time.
