Gliffy is super-cool. It’s an online site/tool that allows you to create flow-charts, floor plans, and other cool images. You can use it for free, or sign up for a $5/month account for extra features. I signed up to give it a test run, and since I didn’t use it very often, I canceled my account. The good folks at Gliffy refunded my entire 3-month cost - very nice of them.

Last week I learned that I won a free copy of “Wordpress For Dummies” (by Lisa Sabin-Wilson) over at ProBlogger - cool! Can’t wait to get my hands on it - I’m a True Believer in Wordpress, and have been using it on all of my sites since 2002. It’s great to collect and read tips and tools all over the web, but to have all of it packaged up into one convenient book will be awesome. And since I’m a dummy, it’s a great fit.
