Email: Hide Your Address

It's a sad and annoying fact; spambots are continually crawling webpages all round the globe, harvesting email addresses, builiding mailing lists and spewing out spam.

Less successful attempts at protecting email addresses are Address Mungeing or deliberate obviscation using (at) instead of @ in the address.

However, a more foolproof solution is to display your contact address as an image and there's a free service that will do this for you in three simple steps...

Go to Safemail

Enter the email you want to hide in an image...



Choose a font and style to match your web page...




You're good to go, just click 'Create Now'...

 




The resulting code can be applied to a variety of platforms and safemail will even host the image for you.

Shell cleared 3.25 Billion dollars and then laid off 5,000 people


Can you believe they made that much money in one quarter and then laid off over 5,000 people?

You see this is the problem with working for someone else, you are at their mercy. Just to give you an idea of how ridiculous this is, they could pay 70,000 people $50,000 per year each for the money they cleared in just this one quarter, but instead, they are going to cut 5,000 jobs...

Millions of people are flocking to the Internet to take control of their life and their financial destiny and this is good, but the problem is that many of them have no idea what to do or where to go and unfortunately too many of these people end up getting cheated and ripped off by the scammers online who are promising riches with no work, no money and no time. It all sounds good, but the reality is those scammers will end up sucking every dime they can from you and sleep like a baby at night.

Working from home is the dream of many people, but just like working a regular offline job, you need training, tools and resources to accomplish your task.

There is now a site that includes all the tools, resources, and training you need to succeed online. You can get started free and review all they offer for a full 30 days and you don’t need a credit card to get started.

After 30 days, you decide for yourself whether or not the system they have created is for you and there is absolutely no pressure to continue, no BS hype about making millions and no lies about doing no work and just cashing checks.

I'd like to invite you to review this service and see for yourself how you can really work from home with the right tools, resources and training.

Like I said, no BS here - if you contiinue with your account after 30 days evaluation, it's going to cost you some wonga, but accounts start at just $9 - and Yes! I will be paid a percentage, but you get the opportunity to grab your own partner link and tell all your subscribers about this great resource :0)
