Here is Useful Websites #29:
(Day 29 of my 30-day challenge!)
And what is the website you'll be introduced to today?
If you enjoyed the series so far and want to participate in the guessing game, see my blog on the Guess Useful Website #30 Contest. and leave your comments.
So far, I have mentioned about 28 useful websites. And here's 29th!
This has been the toughest day for me - and at some point, I thought I may not be able to post it.
I had my FiOS router stopped working suddenly and was wondering will I be able to make it for today's blog? Thanks to my son and Verizon support person, Anthony (he did not mention his last name), after about couple of hours of over-the-phone support, I could re-establish my Internet connection and am promised a new router on Tuesday. Till then, a make-shift arrangement for my last two days of blogging for 30-day challenge.
(Looks like, there is always a problem when you are in red zone...at some point, I thought I'll miss the touchdown!)
So, I am happy - back online and want to share my happiness... so let me make it a 'double treat' for you - two websites on the same theme - and you may have guessed it right, the theme is....(I have been postponing about one of them for last few days.) Floor Planner....

I have joined the blog-a-day blogathon for 30 days. This is day 29 of the 30-day-challenge. Woohoo..more than 90% of my journey is over! Just 1 more days left!! I am in RED ZONE now...and I know, it does get tougher and tougher as you reach your goal. In fact I am so much encouraged by response, I may add few more website at the end! And one more suggestion is to re-visit all of them in may be, couple of posts, covering 15 websites in each.
In these 30 days, what better could it be to share something either I learned from some of the ActiveRainers or some other resource online and share it with the group?
At times, I may not know where and how I learnt about the websites and may not be able to give due credit to someone who informed me about that, but I still want to Thank all of them who contributed to my knowledge which I plan to share.
I am trying to use different field each day - and have now more than 30 such websites. Will I continue after 30 days? Let's see - first things first- I want to completed this 30-day challenge. I am trying to avoid some of the more familiar websites and focusing on some that may not be known to most of you - and still, yes, useful.
You can create a free account on many of these websites and some of them may have some minimal subscription fees. I am sure, these websites will help you in your business - one way or another.
(Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any of these websites not do I derive any income from any of these sites - except that I do subscribe to some of these services. Please use them at your own risk - and let me tell you, I have used them and did not find it 'risky'.)
