leave a comment »

As a frequent traveler, I often find it hard to sync my calendar with Google Calendar. I am not always connect to Internet and not always able to made change to my event on Google Calendar.

I finally have a little time to write up a tutorial about how to sync Google Calendar with your local calendar on Thunderbir and Lightning. Best of all, it’s all free.

If you are interested in saving your Google Calendar offline to your computer and re-sync them while you are on the Internet. Make sure you read through the tutorial. You will thank me!

If you are interested in sync your Thunderbird email data between computers, you should also read my other popular tutorial.

I hope you enjoy the tutorials. It makes my life much easier. Backup is always my top priority. I can’t afford to lose any important data. So do you!

After I post “Does your blog make lemonade? Make your blog interesting with header images“, I have been using post header images on almost every posts on this blog. I believe that an interesting blog header image will give the post some nice vivid touch. It also gives the reader a better idea about the post. All of the images I used in my posts are either licensed by flickr.com or taken by me. I include all those third party photos under my favorites page.

In many cases, I modify the images and make them look even more interesting. I love photoshop, the best photo editing tool available in the digital world. I used a lot of tricks to enhance the photos, including retouching, burning, erasing unwanted spot, rearranging the objects in the photo, adjusting the contrast, adjusting brightness, setting auto color, setting auto level and many other modifications.

I will start a series of photo collections every month to list the images that I used in my blog post. This will give my reader a greater idea what my photography taste is. So enjoy the photos and remember to read my posts!

In the past few months, I kind of left this blog alone and did not update anything. I have been focused on social networking sites suck as Twitter, Plurk, Sphinn, Zoomr and many other sites that I can get my name out.

Recently I decided to do DIY marketing to increase my online stores sales. Increasing my online store conversion rate is my top priority.

I know no one will read this blog post anyway, So I can not going to hide anything on this blog.
