I have always wanted to write a novel, but when I site down to write it, my thoughts go faster then my hands and I miss all the good stuff. It’s very annoying and I usually give up after a while, but I have decided that maybe I will try again after takeing Dragon’s typing speed test! This test proved to me that I can really use this product to write a novel, in fact I’m thinking of using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for NaNoWrimo or National Blog Writing Month where you write a novel in one month. I don’t think I could do it on my own, but if I use the Dragon program I may have a chance and actually do something I have been wanting to do since I was a freshmen in high school.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred This program is great but it does cost money and I always spend time researching a product before I buy it. I have been looking at Dragon Reviews to get an idea of what others think about it and so far I have to say it all looks great. This would really be useful for me anyway even after trying to write that novel so it would be a great investment that I could use for more projects, like blogging and school papers. This would really save me some time and I would be able to spend more time on my design projects and looking for a job for when I graduate. If your interested you can also take the test I took and then pick up your copy. I’m planning on getting the one for a PC as that is what I have, but they also have a Mac version for those of you who have one of those.

Do you like to talk? I know I do and I tend to put things together better when I speak them then when I write them out. When it comes to blogging though you have to be able to write well and type fast right? Maybe now you don’t have to, you could check out this new program called Dragon Naturally Speaking I love the idea of this program as I could have a huge use for this. I think for what I need I would just have to get Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Standard. I sometimes am stuck sitting in my car when I’m doing audits. There is not a lot of room for me to pull out my computer and type up anything, If I had this program I could easily get blog post done or papers done for school without having to wait until I had more space. I also have to exercise a lot as I’m diabetic and trying to lose weight, I could easily get on the treadmill, walk and get my blog post done without having to worry about having the time to do them.

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Preferred is a great program because it allows you to type faster then most people can by allowing you to talk, but it also starts to recognize your voice instantly allowing background noise to disappear. This is also offered in the standard version, but with the preferred you also are able to use another device when away from your PC and you can create shortcuts to help your work move faster. If you are interested in learning more you can check out NYT on Dragon a revew done by David Pogue.

I could possibly use the preferred version at a job after I graduate so it will be a product I keep in mind and will probably invest in before graduation. Anything that will help me to complete task faster and easier will really help me to succeed in both blogging and interior design.

I am writing my frist post from my new laptop and wow does this take some getting use to. I’m sure I’ll be okay eventually, but getting use to using the keyboard is going to be fun. I like this one though and tomorrow I will be doing a review on it on savey spender. So check there if you want to know more about it. I will tell you it’s an hp and has a web cam with mic. so I may start doing a few video post soon as long as you all can stand looking at my mug.

So far I have watched a dvd on it while I was waiting for things to download, but it was differently worth the money I paid for it. I’d write more about it here but it’s been a long day and I’m tired.

I’m still waiting for my student loans to credit to my account. I’m hoping they do soon and that I can get my refund this week. The school has not bothered to tell us when we will be getting the refund since Friday is the 4th of July. I’m just hoping I don’t have to wait until August like I did last year. That would suck.

So anyway I’m trying to be good and not go crazy. It’s not working as my computer keeps reminding me why I need to get a new one. The worst part is after I get my money I still have to order the laptop online from Wal-Mart.com, because the laptop I want is not available in any store in my state. It’s only going to take a week to get here though, so it will be okay once I order it. It’s just waiting to see if I get that money that sucks.

I’m still trying to decide what laptop to get. I have a great hp picked out at walmart.com, but at the same time a friend of mine is trying to talk me into getting a dell. She said that upgrading the dell memory is cheep and easy, since I would have to upgrade it for what I will need it for, but I have heard some bad things about dell.

I don’t know I have an Hp now and I love it, it works great and only has problems because I got a bad video card when I upgraded it myself. Other then that it runs fine. I guess I have some thinking to do.

I am always looking for ways to save money. I do though want to get good service or a good product in return, that is why I always do research into things before I buy anything. One of these things is web hosting. I have heard so many people talk about linux web hosting and free blog hosting and I just got so confused at one point that I was almost ready to quit. Luckily I did some research. I checked out each hosting website, I got an idea of the cost of each one and narrowed them down from there, then I started reading other blogs like web hosting rating, to see what other people thought of these hosting companies.

I finally decided on blue host and my blog was born, well my new one anyway. I have been with blue host for just about a year and I’m very happy with them. I have tried a few other services since then with some new sites but nothing has made me change yet. One thing I did learn was that just because a hosting company works for me, doesn’t mean it will work for you so check into what you are getting and make sure it is really going to give you what you need.

Once again there is a great way to make some cash, that is really very easy. It’s a new product just out of Beta release that can help you make a search engine friendly website quickly and it will create a great income for you. The product is called Kwikcontent and it really is an interesting idea.

computer program for website buildingThe program creator just sold a site they made for $9000 on site search. That tells me that there program works well and is something that people are interested in. This program will help you to keep your site updated so that your readers don’t get bored and it also is customized for the keywords you choose.

I like this idea because when I had a few sites, I spent so much time finding articles to put on them that I wasn’t able to spend the time needed to promote and fix up the site, they didn’t last long and I lost out on a lot of money, visitors and time.

So if your looking to get a website going, but are not sure where to start and need some help, check this product out and let me know what you think.
