Favorite 5 Blog/Website Tools

I have such a hard time featuring just 5 of my favorite anything, since I have so many favorites. This week I want to share some really nice blog/website tools I am sure all bloggers and website owners can use.

  1. Color Scheme Gallery- I love this color gallery! Any time I am out of ideas for colors, I can always find nice color schemes there!
  2. Yahoo Answers- This is not necessarily a website or blog tool, however you can reply to questions with links to your personal websites!  I often visit Yahoo Answers and check categories that pertain to my business so I can offer a reply and show off my website links. You just have to make sure you do not spam. I have actually got a good bit of traffic from them!
  3. iStock- I use this website allot of images. Websites and blogs that use images look so nice and iStock has a HUGE selection of images for sale. Images can be purchased by a credit system, and most images run 1-2 credits.
  4. EntreCard- A great way to get free advertising! It takes just a little bit of time and well worth it!
  5. Free WordPress Themes- A nice collection of free themes for wordpress users.
