Homeschooling, Reviews, Giveaways, Homemaking. This is my life, join me!
I love About.com and get newsletter from it on a daily basis. Today, this came in my inbox and I was so excited about it that I simply HAD to share it with my readers.
I am working on putting together a Google Analytics tutorial at the request of one of my readers and hope to have it completed by next week. If not, maybe I will have another quick freebie for you.
Welcome to the web wide weekend wrap up! Awesome news… although my survey giveaway is not over yet, I have been going through the responses and many (sooo many) of you have asked for me to provide freebies, coupons, and printables on my site. Well, that is a deal blog and a deal blog takes up a ton of time and takes a million posts. Since not all of my readers have asked me for those items, I didn’t want to start loading their inboxes with all that stuff. So, I called my wordpress blog host and added a sub-domain to my blog! So, now, if you go to www.3boysandadog.com/deals you will find a whole new blog! It isn’t totally ready yet, but I had some deals in my inbox that I wanted to share with y’all so I am opening it up to my readers now!
What does that mean? It means my Web Wide Weekend Wrap Up will no longer contain Freebies, Special Deals, and Giveaways (after this one)! Those will all be found on the new site. Thoughts, opinions?
Welcome to the May 7, 2011 edition of web wide weekend wrap up.

Leineriza presents Growing and Gardening in Silty Soil posted at Back to the Roots, saying, “Consider yourself lucky if you’re growing or gardening with silty soil. Next to loamy soil, silty soil tends to be fertile.”

Ever seen a crime-scene/investigation TV show when the victim is a teenager? You know those shows that the lead investigator takes this teen’s computer and looks for signs of where she/he could be, whom she has had contact with, things she may have said in an e-mail, on Twitter, or even in Facebook? In this day and age when our own children are much more computer savvy than we, it is vital to be one step ahead of them. Being vigilant of what our children do is important and when they are online, even more so. The world wide web (WWW) could be a wonderful place (like this lovely blog) or it could also be a scary place. How do we avoid or prevent the unnecessary? Since we can’t be in two places at once (though I wish I could bi-locate, almost on a daily basis) it is important to find the right piece of software that will be your “assistant”, sort-of speak, while you aren’t right next to your child(ren) when they are on the computer.I’ve heard and looked into many other programs in the past but never got a chance to “test-drive” one until now, introducing WebWatcher Parental Control Monitoring Software! From their website:
Webwatcher monitoring software is the best keylogger for Your PC or laptop because it lets you remotely ensure that there is no inappropriate activity taking place on your computer without your knowledge.
WebWatcher is your online chaperone! Webwatcher monitoring software not only helps you monitor what your child(ren) are doing online but also control it. That’s correct, you can either “white list” sites you’d like your child(ren) to go to or/and “black list” those sites you don’t want them to visit. So not only do you see what your child is doing online (from any computer in the house or at work, it works remotely) but you can also block those sites you definitely don’t want your kids to visit. This was one of my most favorite features of the program! You can also individualize this feature, for example I have a 13 year old and a 6 year old who share a computer. They each were assigned a log in so that the 6 year old would have different sites available to him and vice versa. This is how it works:
The beauty of it is that you can set up as many or as little monitoring as you’d like! If you want to give your child more privacy, that’s fine or if you want to know everything they did, that too is possible!
Set up was simple and setting up the monitoring was easy too! Don’t think you are computer savvy enough to do this yourself? Not to worry, WebWatcher will help you and do the settings that you’d like for you. How much easier could they make it??? Want to see how easy? Just watch this video demo of the software.
To order your copy by either download or to receive it in the mail, visit WebWatcher’s website.
