Hi-Tech Stuff

There were some interesting links and information about phishing and other such scams on the internet.

I sent an email to someone I did not know and was astonished to be told by my email service that the address was suspected of being a home for phishing scams. So I promptly dropped that email. I get enough of the ones from strange banks asking for account information or telling me I am about to receive millions if I will just comply with their wishes.

A new type of article called a charticle is now making its appearance. Apparently, it is a compilation of text, images, and graphics that are taking the place of articles. According to my source (Freelance Writer's Report for November), these are appearing in the Florida Times-Union among other papers. See www.grumpyeditor.com if you want to keep up with what's happening in the newspaper world.

So, we are supposed to be writing three blogs this week. Or last week. Well, this is the second one, but I am not entirely certain what the third one should have been about.

Just hold on, folks, for the next instalment when all will be revealed.
