Welcome to Free Technology Solutions

I just love technology, especially FREE technology! As you will read in my bio, I have built and marketed my business using all of the FREE technologies that I will be sharing with you in this blog.
My latest challenge was my avatar, the cartoon character of me in the right side column. I have wanted an avatar of myself for months.  I could visualize it in my head but didn't know how to create it.
As I've stated in my bio, I am building my business on a "shoestring budget." After months of researching, I found a site that allowed me to create a FREE avatar and using Microsoft OneNote and MS Word I added the accessories that I wanted but were not available on the site.
This blog is dedicated to sharing all of the FREE technologies that I have used to design my websites and market my business.
I would love your questions, suggestions. If you know of any FREE technologies and would like to share them, please contact me. If I use them I will add them to my blog and give you credit.

The Cadillac of Vcards!



BusinessCard2 is a great new technology tool that will help you market your business and increase your SEO! In my opinion this is the Cadillac of VCards. This company has "Supersized" the vCard. 

What is a vCard?
vCard is a file format standard for electronic business cards. vCards are often attached to e-mail messages, but can be exchanged in other ways, such as on the World Wide Web or instant messaging. They can contain name and address information, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, URLs, photos, audios and logos.

You can add your card to any site or blog. Click on the different links on my card on the right side of this blog to see the many great features. Click here to see a sample card.

Are you a new business with a small marketing budget? This card can be used as a website! You can add all of the information that you would put on a website and for $5 a month you can have your own URL.
How do you share your card?



There are many different ways you can share your card over the internet:
• Import Contacts - Import contacts from any contact manager with one click into BusinessCard2
