Wow, this is a very useful post! I have been thinking of setting up a website but I only know some ways of advertising it for free. For a beginner and a frugal person like me, your method contributed to my knowledge and helped me save my money. During my free time, maybe I should try writing at least three articles. I just hope that my schedule and mood will allow me to produce interesting and informative works. Thank you, buddy!

That's some cool sites. Bookmarked! :DThis is really helpful. Thank you for the list.

I'm from Manila, Philippines! I'm currently residing in Quezon City -- a part of Manila which is the capital of my country. I was born in a province quite near to the city and lived there until I was 10. The environment there is better compared to the city. Once you step out the door, you know almost everyone you see. While here, lots of people from different parts of the country are living... a whole lot of strangers.

Well, yeah. Just like what I've said, I'm not totally against gaming as it also gives good things for the gamer. I played educational games years ago (when I was 7 until 10) and these are the games that help me in my studies. Now, I don't play them anymore that's why I just stated the current benefit of gaming to me -- relieving stress (entertainment). That's the value of gaming to me. I prefer studying history with books but I agree to that. What I'm against is that some people choose to prioritize playing those "non-educational" games more than their work, school, or tasks and spending the whole day doing nothing but playing these type of games.

Just like what the other users say, it is a program that generates a challenge to confirm that the one registering to your website isn't a bot but a human. CAPTCHAs prevent spam posts or comments on blogs or forums and spam mails. The common CAPTCHAs are those that asks the user to type the generated text but there are also some CAPTCHAs that uses image. Personally, I like those image-based CAPTCHAs than text CAPTCHAs. Some text CAPTCHAs are quite hard to read while I find those image-based CAPTCHA, which will ask you to complete the puzzle, interesting. For me, they're easier than the common ones.When I don't know anything about building websites, spams and these bots, I really thought that CAPTCHAs are totally annoying. I wondered what's the point of entering random texts that are sometimes unreadable. They also say "Are you human?" and I was like "What? Of course I am !". Spam bots never came to my mind. But now that I know their purpose, I don't get annoyed with these CAPTCHAs anymore even if some text are slightly unreadable.

I also study with headphones on but these past few days, whenever I review, I usually go to a quiet place to make myself more focused on studying. But I guess it doesn't make a good effect since the silence kinda irritate my ears. Sometimes, I'll just turn on the TV but I can't help it but to watch the show. I think I'm more accustomed in listening to music while studying. When I was in review for college entrance exams, my seatmate kept playing distracting music. I just don't like the genre of the song and even if he's using earphones, I can still hear it. This made me annoyed and a bit distracted. So for me, I like studying with the music I like.I have seen some people who wants a complete silence when they study. They get annoyed when they hear noise or even music. In this case, it varies from person to person.

For me, VLC is the best media player. It gives the features that I want such as streaming videos, playing most media types, and taking an easy snapshot of the scene. It's easy to use too. The feature I found interesting is the ability to add video effects such as sharpness, adjustments, rotation, and zoom. I also remember using it to listen to online radios. But since it isn't listed on the poll, I voted for Windows Media Player. I also used Winamp on my laptop before. I can say that it's good but I still like VLC more.

I'm going to be a fourth year high school student this June. We don't have middle school here (as of now) that's why I'm already in the highest level in high school even if I'm just 14 (turning 15 this July). But, the government in my country decided to change our curriculum just some months ago. Another two years in high school will be added and this, they say, will be senior high school. My batch isn't affected by that though. So by 2013, I'll be entering college. The first batch to follow that new curriculum is the incoming first year high school (Grade 7) students this June. The first batch of Grade 11 students will be on 2016. :

I used Encarta some years ago. It's great but there are times that I can't find what I really need. I mean, the information is limited. Yes, it may be much more accurate than Wikipedia but Wikipedia gives a whole lot of information than Encarta. Encarta's content is just from some people in Microsoft. But in Wikipedia, everyone is allowed to share their knowledge about something. If you're going to look for the latest update of a certain topic, then I think Wiki will give it to you since anyone can edit the contents and with just a few minutes, the article is already updated while in Encarta, you'll have to wait for some months or maybe years.I just don't like the fact that some people will bother messing up some pages on Wiki. I have seen some pages with just codes appearing on the page. It's like the content was deleted and the codes are the only ones left. Even if I want to fix it, what can I do... I don't know the things to put there.

Personally, I don't like wearing make up. I feel kinda awkward when I use them or maybe I'm just not used in applying them. For me, having no make up reveals the girl's true beauty. I like the 'real' beauty not that one with 'add-on'. Well yeah, light make up is okay. It serves as a little enhancement and some look really good on them. But, there are also some who apply much make up that it doesn't look good on them anymore. It's like they are hiding their face behind that make up and I don't like that. It's best to let others to see the real you.

Yeah. I received the first email about myCENTS update 5 days ago. Just yesterday, it was updated again.

Hmmm... that would be the book my aunt gave me four years ago. That's the best one for me. I forgot the title and author though. I'm sorry.

Woah! Because of what you've said, I miss having a cat. When I was in my hometown, our dogs and cats get along well too. They always play but there are times that they fight too. I find it kinda funny when they just had a fight then after a few minutes, they'll be friends again. Oh, I see. Ummm... to whom did you give him? I'm glad that your dog never had any issues with food too. I've seen some dogs that are really picky when it comes to food. My dog's a Shih Tzu. When we bought him, we named him Nikko. The next day, the previous owner informed us that his name is Hatchi. So we decided to combine both = Nikko Hatchi. His name sounds like Japanese. He's crazy with biscuits and some junk foods.

I like the color! I'm glad that it's blue. Blue is my favorite. I prefer sites with lighter colors because, just like what Tulip said, they give off the welcoming aura. Since Xisto is a place for information, I think white, blue, green, or gold will suit it. The current color and layout of Xisto also looks really professional to me.

That's nice. Dogs are really caring, aren't they? They're always loyal to their owners. I haven't seen a dog that has a bad relationship with his owner. They are good friends too. That's why I love dogs the most. Why? Where's your dog?
