Just wanted to let y’all know that all contest giveaways will be open for comments until midnight on Sat, then I will compile the names. So get your comments in. I will announce all winners bright and early Monday Morning! Along with a super special announcement of how you can get most of these prizes (and some more) even if you aren’t chosen as a winner. Cause you’re all winners in my book. And your comments have been read by several authors today and the comments from them were mostly all the same, “Penny thanks for sharing that with me, it made my day!”. So get those straggling comments in, and scratch up some chump change this weekend cause we are having a super sizzlin summer sale monday where eveyone wins!

and uh, don’t think that means I am takin the weekend off here, I will have plenty more to say,

One more bloggy give away

August 1, 2008 · by Penny · 4 Comments

from my friend Phyllis Wheeler at Motherboardbooks.com her braand new book “Let’s Make a Web Page”

Is your child, aged 8 to 12, curious about the Internet? Through this 60-page E-Book, Computer Lady Phyllis Wheeler takes him by the hand and shows him how to make a Web site using easy-to-use software CoffeeCup HTML Editor, available for free trial download over the Internet.

Phyllis Wheeler guides your child through interviewing someone, writing up a paragraph, and pasting it into a Web page. Your child can find and choose backgrounds, animations, photos, and sounds to add to the page. She shows how to create links, too.

Finally, she teaches your child how to make the Web page the “home page” on his family computer. When someone opens up a browser, the page will pop up automatically. Separate sections for parents discuss Internet safety and how to upload to the Internet.

This E-Book will give your child hours of fun. He can go through the E-Book again and again, making different creations every time.
Take a look at Phyllis’s site and come back to tell me in a comment how this would benefit YOUR family!
