One of the best things about having a web site like this is being able to give away wonderful gifts that my visitors would have to pay for if found elsewhere.  Some real prices go up to $50 and beyond, and some pieces are free, but priceless.  Either way, owners of the software want to get acquainted with my readers.  Therefore they get some free advertising here.  The latest piece that has come my way is a story organizer.  Use it and you'll be able to flip through your stories in any way that will help,, by size, by type, by category, by sales or distribution.  Many of my visitors are new to everything so I have packed the instructions in with the gift.  RIGHT CLICK Here and download your package today.  When wondering about a software product, one thing you do want to watch out for is a coder that cannot spell.  In code, every symbol, every letter, every punctuation mark must be 100% correct and it must be exactly in the right spot in the proper sequence. If the coder can't even proofread his own ad copy, how can you trust them to go messing around with everything on your computer? I do NOT download their product, even if they offer to pay me to do so.  Yes, bribes have been offered. There are now many free products on the web that are better than anything you can buy in a store, your browser is probably one of them.  But let me tell you right up front, that some free products will maim, mangle and maul your computer up so badly you will wish you had never heard the word free in your life.  I have gone to great pains to point you to free software that is also great -- or priceless.  If you get software anywhere else, make sure it has been tested by the giver and that YOU trust that giver.  Even then you can get stung occasionally, but at least you will have minimized the probability as far as possible.  ** Let's get rolling here.  The first thing every writer needs is a great word processor. I paid $900 for just a word processor (I needed one that did everything, including checking my grammar) so I know the value of a great processor.  "OpenOffice" comes with a word processor, an html editor, a spreadsheet, presentation manager, and a terrific drawing program.  I have been using this software for years and I prefer it to anything on the market. The drawing program has so many options, permutations and possibilities it will open your mouth. The latest version of OpenOffice – even comes with PDF and Macromedia Flash export.  PDF is THE Adobe Acrobat® format that every platform can read, including MAC computer users.  Most books today are being offered in PDF.  This one does automatically insert links for you.  OpenOffice is also completely free. You can download it right now!    The REST of this amazing software package is Priceless, a bargain at any price. If you've been publishing on the Internet for any time, you know that the true power of eBooks comes from adding a single viral element - you need to make the eBook re-brandable. That means, you let your readers change all or parts of the affiliate-links in it, giving them a great incentive to further distribute your eBooks. Until now, this was only possible if you converted your eBooks into Windows-only *.exe files.  ViralPDF is one of the most powerful marketing tools you can BUY.  Click HERE for a PDF reader 0NLY if you don't already have one. Speed Typer can catapult your typing speeds to astronomical. What about Adobe Acrobat's reader?  It can be downloaded for free from: http://get.adobe.com/reader/   Make sure you UNCLICK the McAffee protection, unless you want it.  Otherwise, go to the bottom of the page and look for the download button. Once you have Adobe loaded you can simply double click on any of our books and have it open in Adobe Acrobat.  There is a piece of software MADE for ScreenWriters.  I could just put it here and let you download, but this guy giving it away has such a fascinating story that I'd be cheating you if I didn't send you there to get it.  So, Click HERE! And, hey, read the guy's story; It really is fas-cinating.

http://artdhtml.com/  Art DHTML Studio.  This site offers quite a few FREE Java Scripts.  All the scripts I tried were easy to figure out and quite useful.  The one I wanted most I never was able to figure out, but of course that was the most complicated one there, the triple series drop down menu.  The owner of the site offered to make it work for me, but I declined.  Now, the glow text script I fell in love with and used it everywhere for months.   Then, like Henry Ford, I decided people were tired of it because I was.
