Free custom text logos, and water effect

Hello, and welcome. My name is Martin O'Sullivan. This is an introduction to what I do for people that have their own web sites that they made for business or other purposes. This blog is new, and in the coming days will have much more in it to what I am explaining now. My goal is to stop people for paying what they can get for free, and end up with an amazing site for their visitors to view. I ask for nothing in return. Not even a thank you, haaaaa. If you use just one free service, or save money by getting one free program? I have succeeded.
I have been helping people for a few years now find ways, FREE ways, to add wonderful, and amazing FREE services, and special effects to their web sites. My own web site has the examples each month with a Free service of the month, and even Free program of the month.I have decided to add blogs as another tool for people to find my site, and decide if they wish to add one or several of these free services to their sites. Or perhaps find a free program that is web related, or even not web related.

Allow me to explain what I offer, and keep in mind it is all free. Not just the services I find, or the programs, but I charge nothing as well. Totally free. It is more than a hobby, it is a passion of mine to help people turn their sites from a basic plain site to an amazing site.
To give you a taste of what you will find on my site:
* Free site search engines to add to your site, just to search your site by a visitor.
* Free services to create amazing titles, and logos
* Free web mail forms for your visitors to contact you.
* Free phone numbers you can use for voice mail by your visitors.
* Free chat programs you can insert in your site to talk directly to your visitors
* Free service to have your own newsletters mailed to your visitors.
* Free scripts for many special effects, such as falling leaves over your site for fall, or snowflakes, scrolling movable text, slide show for photographs, embedded video players, fade from one of your pages to another when a menu choice is selected, and hundreds of other scripts even more amazing then the last.
* Free Flash intros with no need to know Flash.* Free animated Flash, and HTML menus.
* Free HTML editors to do your own code, or even for those who don't know HTML code? Free HTML WYSIWYG editors (Just type, and insert pictures easily)
* Free programs for any topic for you, your children, anyone. for business, entertainment... anything. (Great media players, system utilities, communications programs, business programs... Anything)* Free button creators.
* Free templates
* Free polls
* Free bulletin boards
* Even Free advice with HTML coding
* Free flavicons (those little graphics you see in some big companies address bars)
* Free Flash audio you create of your voice, or music that people can hear on your site.
* Free "Send a friend our site" forms for visitors to relay your site to someone they know.
* Free games you can add to your site to play right on your site.
* Free counters, visible or invisible to keep track of your visitor count.
* Free services to collect money such as Paypal
* Free service to translate your site into dozens of different languages to make your site truly international.... and literally hundreds of Free services that are too many to list.

Oh, did I mention all this FREE? Haaaa. Well, it is. All of these are out there, nothing to join, subscribe to, or sign up for. Just go to the site that has it, get it, use it. Simple as that.
An example would be if you wanted your site to have a menu that moves when the mouse is on it, or change color. You could use the typical menu with text (Home, about us, etc) or have a beautiful animated menu that flips when selected. Is it hard to do? No. Just go to the link in my site, fill out the information of the name of the menu button, and what page it will lead to on your site, generate the code, insert it into your site... Done, and FREE.

The example site is also being reconstructed to be more fluid, and simple. Doing so, I have removed many services temporarily to be resurfaced by links, and examples. I hope to complete the new site within days. However, you can still visit my site to see some goodies. All that you will see that actually makes up my site are the same freebies I offer, and many more. I would be a hypocrite if I paid for a site and services, then told you about free ones to use for yours. Even the hosting of the site is free.

In closing I wish to say that I hope in the coming days as this blog, and a few other blogs are created, and filled in, and the main site is refurbished, you check back to see what you can put on your site for free.
See ya soon :o)Sincerely,

FREE WEB SITE SERVICE OF THE MONTH

2Being this blog is new, I thought I would throw in a past free service for this month. One of my favorite free services at that. Also, since the free program of the month is about what to do with a text title, or logo (or any photo for that matter), this service offers great title logos that you can design in seconds. The the web site is called Cooltext Graphics Generator, and allows you to make great text logos, or buttons for menus or other needs. This is one of the best, if not thee best free service for this. On my main site you will see my text logo banner. Cooltext made it for me in seconds. Just go to: http://cooltext.com/Default.aspx and select a style (I select for mine BLEND). You then can pick the colors to be used, the fonts to be used, and more. Just click when ready, and you get the banner to be copied and pasted, save to your hard drive, and insert it in your web site. Besides my own title logo on my site, I use this free service for buttons on other sites I have made. If you would like to see an example of these buttons go to: http://safekidshaven.org/ and you will see 4 I made in various colors (red, green, blue , and orange). I have used other services for these needs, and I have found this is by far the best, and easiest to use.


FREE PROGRAM OF THE MONTH
This months free program is amazing. Turn your title/logo from a stagnet non moving photo graphic into a fluid water ripple title/logo. This FREE java applet can be made easily with the free program that is offered for download by ANFY. I rate this FREEBIE for intermediate web masters, not beginners, but beginners are welcome to try and use it too. On thier site you will see two free programs to download. Choose the Anfy (Java) download button. Then when installed, open it, and check off Image effects, and select WATER. They offer 52 amazing FREEBIES with this one program, but I think the water effect is amazing enough for now. If you succeed? Go for the others if they interest you. The URL is: http://www.anfyteam.com/ I refer to their site to see their sample. Also after installing the program you will have a preview of each effect there too (Much better then the one on their site). I will be adding this effect to my main web site in the coming days for myself too. Enjoy!
