Staging Your House for Less

Something about spring makes me start watching all of those home shows. You know the ones where couples and sometimes singles look for the perfect house, fix up and put their homes on the market or just do some renovations. Maybe it is because spring is the most popular time of the year to list a house and get a buyer. While the housing market has promise of turning around, there is still quite a lot of “stock,” houses on the market. This means that in order to make yours sell, it needs to shine. One thing that helps house … Continue reading →

MyHeritage Partners With 1000memories

It has become common for genealogy websites to team up with, or acquire, other genealogy websites. Sometimes the partnership keeps both entities intact and separate.

Printing Photos from a SD Card

PictBridge technology may be a popular way to share phenomenal photos with family and friends, but it is hardly the only way. Another very effective and easy way to print frame worthy shots is through a card reader. These days you will be hard pressed to find a digital camera that doesn’t have the memory space to store at least a few thousand high-resolution pictures. However, if you want to move your cherished shots from your camera directly onto your computer without using cables, you’ll need a card reader. This is where a Secure Digital (SD) card comes into play. … Continue reading →

MyHeritage Acquires BackupMyTree

MyHeritage, the well known genealogy website, has acquired BackupMyTree, a digital storage service. What does this merger mean for genealogists who use one, or both, of these services? As far as I can tell, there is nothing to worry about, and much to be gained, for genealogists. MyHeritage is a genealogy website that you can use for free. You can start working on your family tree, and placing it online, immediately. If you want access to more than the basic services that the website provides, then you have to become a member, (which does cost something). Not too long ago, … Continue reading →

Staging your home yourself for a faster sale

Just about everyone who is trying to sell a house in this tough buyers market is advised to have their home staged.

The average cost of professional home staging is $2300 with the price range being from $1000 to $5000. There are also survices for a few hundred dollars that will lay out a do-it-yourself plan for you. While these services are very helpful, should you be short on money, … Continue reading →

With the fall season in full gear, at least here in the Midwest, my camera has been out a lot more often to capture natures changes, my children playing outdoors, and anything else my heart desires.
