SmartFTP 2.5: Upload files easily for Free

09.18.2007 | 6:57 pm | FTP, Getting Started, Site Building, freebies

If you are looking to build a site you are going to need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program to help you upload your files from your hard drive to your server/host/website. You will probably want something simple too. I did! I know starting off I had almost no clue what to do. SmartFTP makes it simple for you. To upload files SmartFTP uses a drop and drag interface. If you can use windows explorer to navigate your computer you can upload files.

All you will need is the information your webhost will give you to log on. Then you will just drop and drag!

  • Address: Where to find your site. This could be the domain, IP, or something your host says to use
  • Username
  • password

Added Notes:

  • SmartFTP has relesed a new version (2.5) of their software.
  • SmartFTP states it works with Windows Vista

Increase Your Blog Visitors for Free

09.17.2007 | 11:30 am | Blog Rush, Blogs, Site Building, Traffic, Visitors, freebies

I just found this new way to increase traffic blogs and the best part is its free! It’s called Blog Rush. And its a bit like a banner exchange program where you collect “credits” for showing the Blog Rush code as well as for clicks/visitors you send. The banner for Blog Rush contains links to blogs with topics similiar to yours. You can see an example down and to the right. I think this is a fantastic idea to be able to reach readers of other blogs like yours! They are saying that they are having a good amount of growth already & I just signed up so lets see how it goes.
