We are always looking for websites to share with you that provide value; and this month we've found one that provides major value.  There is a website that is part of the federal government's Hope Now program for people concerned about their ability to make their mortgage payments.  If you are a homeowner, and would like assistance negotiating with your current lenders for a Loan Modification (not a refinance), hopenow.com may be able to help.  This is a free program.  Full text has more details.

We are proud to announce that we have launched our new website!  We built it with the same CMS engine that runs lots of big websites, including portions of ABC Family, NASA, Lifetime Entertainment, Novell and thousands of others.  Don't know what CMS is?  It is a way for site owners to manage the content of their site through their web browser, without the assistance of their web developer.  We can use the same CMS engine on your site if you want the ability to edit the content of your site on your own.  Full text for more detail.

If you are not familiar with Excel's Auto-Filter feature, it is pretty handy.  Even if you are familiar with this feature, you may not be familiar with the combination of subtotal() and Auto-Filter.  This short 90 second video demonstrates.

If you are using Office 2007, but are frustrated when you can't find the features, Microsoft has released an animated interactive command reference tool.  This tool can be viewed through your web browser (just set a bookmark), or can be downloaded to your computer.  Full text for more.
