How To Widen MailChimp Body and Sidebar Newsletter
MailChimp: “MailChimp helps you design email newsletters, share them on social networks, integrate with services you already use, and track your results. It’s like your own personal publishing platform.”
Mail chimp templates seem to have a real problem with the width, and sometimes they are so skinny your emails that you send out can look stupid and ridiculous!
There is a easy fix to force it to widen, click on the edit button of the body or sidebar, then click source, and add the following code to the bottom of the page.
<img height="1" src="space.gif" width="500" />
Change the width to whatever you want and click save. Problem solved!
Automatically Shutdown Computer At Certain scheduled time
This tutorial will shutdown your computer at a certain time even if users are logged on or off and will check to make sure they aren’t still using it before it shutdowns.
- Create a .BAT File by opening up notepad and when you save as, select all files then name it shutdown.bat.
- Put the following text in the file “c:/shutdown.exe –s” and save it. When this .bat file is run it triggers the shutdown.exe file under windows and your computer will shutdown.
- Now to schedule it, open up Scheduled Tasks under control panel or task scheduler which it is known under vista/windows 7
- Add scheduled task, select the .bat file you have just made (i stored it in C drive), perform this task daily, start time 6PM, enter the administrator credentials and finish.
- Now double click the task and go to the settings tab. Under Idle Time, "only start this task if the computer has been idle for at least 30 minutes" and i also ticked the next box so it continues to check up until 12pm until the computer is idle.
In my Workplace i did this on 5 computers, because the others have remote users, i worked out it saves $100 per computer/per year totalling a $500 saving per year.
Other Notes:
- You can also include various maintenance routines in this .bat file when it shutdowns. For example, mine cleans all temp files and runs a defrag on the local drive. To Implement this, install Crap Cleaner on the computer and add the following code to your .bat file.
“C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner.exe" /AUTO
defrag c: /f
c:/shutdown.exe –s”
Does Freagle Work?
I’ve just started another blog. Yep don’t you know it.
Check it HERE
Last night on Today Tonight, a popular TV show on channel 7, a money making scheme was shown called Freagle.
Shown as the “Easiest Home Business Ever”, Today Tonight presented this story, interviewing people who have had major success using the program and the two of the site owners. Some would say the site has just paid some big bucks and used the today tonight as a big ad campaign for their money making program. I’m not going to discuss that part but if your interested, head over to this blog where its currently being discussed.
The site http://www.easiesthomebusinessever.com.au is a monthly subscription program you can sign up to and they claim that using the program you can earn over $100 an hour following the simple tutorials and using their in house software called Freagle. Freagle also owns other companies such as Freestuffday & Layby.
Ok, So What’s This Site All About?
Does Freagle Work is me going through the program blogging about every aspect of it. I’m going to see if you really can make money from it and then help you do it in the process. If it doesn’t work. I’m going to spam the blog all over the net and make sure people don’t give these creeps any more money :)
Phaser Computers SEO Improvement
I’ve been looking at getting more clients and expanding my computer services business’s. I currently come up 2nd on the map with a google search but no where to be seen in the list of website pages.
I also noticed there isn’t much competition with computer services on the coast on google with all sites having low page ranks and not very good SEO techniques.
So i renamed alot of things and optimised some code and will be monitoring how it goes.
I’m also going to change the content on the site to be more streamline, the current wording and pages are boring and look like they were left from the template upon which the site was built.

New Portal To All My Sites & Services
I decided I should have a site that lists all my sites and business’s and to plan a bit ahead for the future if some of them ever get “big.” Think i’m going to head into a similar structure Richard Branson set up with his company Virgin.
For now check it out here.
