If you’re someone who likes to use online mail services to share your photos, documents of other files between family, friends and business contacts but are limited by often less than generous download or upload file sizes then there is a way around that hurdle.
With Driveway online file sharing services you can share large files with anyone online at the touch of a button. Or in their case a widget.
They have an easy to use and extremely versatile widget that you place directly on your desktop. It allows you to upload and download files between all the people that you know, bypassing the cumbersome and often limiting services of the file sharing sites. With this cool widget, you can even edit documents with one click from the widget toolbar and email them right back again.
Large files? Not a problem either.

I was asked a question in my forum the other day about the merits of setting up a free hosted blog as a way to make money. I had to think about that as there are many pros and cons to doing that, so I thought I’d share a little of that here, in case anyone has been pondering the same thing.
Free hosted blogs like Blogger, Wordpress et al are very popular with bloggers because it means an easy way to set up and maintain a blog and you don’t have the costs involved with professional hosting or the hassle with building your own website. You don’t need to know HTML or any other web code to write your blog.
With free hosted blogs, it’s pretty much all done for you. All you have to do is choose a nice template that you like for the design of your blog and then start writing! Simple.
If you want to start getting adventurous and adding pictures to your blog, that’s fairly straightforward too.
You can go even further and start adding the bits to your blog that will make money for you. Things like adsense are easy to add you a Blogger hosted blog, although Wordpress make life a bit difficult if you want to include ads in your blog.
That leads on to a decision as to which free blog host to go with.
Well, I’d recommend Blogger if you want to monetize your blog as it’s owned by Google and that means they ware more than happy for your to include adsense. Wordpress, on the other hand have a much better selection of templates to choose from, so if you’re not too bothered about making money from your blog but want a really nice looking one, I’d choose Wordpress.
My reasons for these two over the rest? Well, I used Blogger for my first free blogs and was quite happy with them. They are easy to use and easy to add more complicated things like affiliate links and graphics to, so making them very powerful advertising media. In fact, I still have a couple of Blogger blogs out there!
As for Wordpress, well all my professionally hosted blogs use Wordpress templates for two main reasons:
- Because they are very customizable and although they require some knowledge of HTML, that’s not a problem for me. So it’s really my personal preference here
- Because Wordpress comes with my cPanel from HostGator (my hosting company) and it’s dead easy to set up a blog on a hosted domain
Ok, I favour professionally hosted blogs because I have much more control over the way they look and what advertising I add to them, as well as having the host’s guarantee of 99.9% uptime, so I know my blog is going to be there whenever someone wants to read it.
But if you’re not as picky as me and don’t feel the need for professional hosting but want to monetize your blog, then go for Blogger. My preference!
