FreePrintable.net news

Hi from Kevin at FreePrintable.net, where a busy printer is a happy printer.

In this issue of the FreePrintable.net newsletter, I'll tell you how to get fresh, free coloring pages served up every day as well as easy access to my free fax sending service, FaxZero, thanks to new widgets you can install right onto your iGoogle or MacOS Dashboard. Also, I'm excited to spread the news about a venture I just unveiled called Tiplet, a Web site offering expert tips and tech support.


» Coloring & Fax Widgets

Can't get enough free printable coloring pages? How about seeing a new coloring page every day? MacOS Dashboard calls it a Widget; Google calls it a Gadget. Whatever you call it, it's a fun way to get a daily coloring page served up from FreePrintableColoringPages.net, DotToDots.net or another one of my coloring sites. Print out a new page for your kids each day, or just enjoy the preview illustration. You can download the Widget (Mac users) or Google Gadget (anyone) here:

I've also created another gadget: this one displays the fax submission form for my site, FaxZero. If you're not familiar with FaxZero, it's a handy service where you can send a three-page fax for free, or pay $1.99 for a "premium" fax with more pages and priority delivery. The Widget makes it easy to get right down to the business of sending a fax via the Internet. You can download the FaxZero Mac Dashboard Widget or Google Gadget at:

If you don't already use iGoogle or MacOS Dashboard, please consider starting. Both have a very user-friendly interface, and the dashboard can be your one-stop entry point to the Web, with a email and personal calendar preview, RSS feeds to your favorite blogs, and features such as news and weather built right in.
 
ALSO, if you do download the iGoogle gadget version of either, please take a moment to rate it on the download page. (Thanks!)


» Tiplet Tech Tips

I can't tell you how excited I am about my latest venture: a blog-style Web site where experts take on all kinds of technology questions, with a special focus on computers. It's called Tiplet, and it's something I've wanted to do for years. Please check it out at:

Tiplet.com

Tiplet is still in its early stages, having launched in late December, but I wanted FreePrintable.net newsletter subscribers to be among the first to know about it. I've been a computer "nut" since the 1980s, and I finally decided to round up a team of tech experts to tackle questions about everything from Windows Vista to online computing to e-mail. Tiplet is not technically a "free printables" site, but with several computer troubleshooting tips already posted and many more to come, I'm sure printing-relating issues will be widely covered. In fact, if you're having any type of computer or Internet-related trouble, please visit the site and fill out the form to submit a question to my team of Tiplet experts.

Thanks so much for subscribing to the free newsletter. Please keep your printer inked up and ready to go, because I have several new free printables sites almost ready to roll out, along with additions to the existing sites you already know and love. Remember, I get my best ideas from FreePrintable.net users, so please share any ideas or feedback you have!


  » Banners
It's only been a few weeks since the launch of PrintableBanners.net, and already there are some new additions, bringing the total of banner designs to 60+. There are eight new birthday banners (including such sentiments as "Over the Hill" and "It's My Party," as well as some Valentine's Day Banners. The banners are sized to one character per printer page and can be downloaded and printed for free, or pay $5.99 to use the custom Banner Maker to create your own, personalized messages.

This week's printables praise comes from Bob M., who shared: "Thank you so much. What a wonderful way of doing business you have. It is very refreshing in today's market to find an honest, square deal. I will refer anyone I can!"
