No-Nonsense Free Image Hosting: Use.com


Let me tell you a little story. So I was bored and I'd been spending the past 10 minutes just typing in random website names in my address bar, usually coming up with spam websites such as this (WARNING: Pop-ups).
But then, I decided to type in "use.com", just to see if somebody had taken that domain.
And where did I arrive but at a free, easy-to-use image hosting site. Use.com allows people to upload photos, videos and even web URLs without any registration. They then put your item with millions of others in a gigantic library of these things, which are fully searchable, making this site a bit like Flickr, except with a lot less hassle.
In addition to this, if you are a real internet junkie and want to utilise a picture for web purposes, you'll be happy to know that Use will provide your full image/video code in HTML whether you need a thumbnail or a full image.
Here's some more coding help: Use will make a custom auction-type template, which you can put onto numerous auction websites such as Craigslist and eBay, with a sleek background, border, text description and image slideshow. And all you have to do is copy and paste the code when you're satisfied.
Another helping hand for eBay is a little scrolling bar of your item images, with quick links to each auction. Just enter your username and password (don't worry, I tried it) and specify a background color for a pathway to a surge in sales.
With all this, just check out Use; it may even earn you a few bucks.

Experiment With HTML: HTML Sandbox


Hyper-Text Markup Language is one of the simpler computer codes but anybody can make a small mistake that could cost them big time. That's why HTML Sandbox was created.
This innovative site allows you to paste any code in HTML or CSS into a text box given and see the result at the page's bottom simply by pressing the "Submit" button.
This could prove very handy for a large web design project or just everyday coding. Some even use it to test every little code they can find or make; and it's really simple and no registration is required.
To add to that, there are quick reference pages for both CSS and HTML, providing basic information on both codes.
So for this free tool just head over to www.htmlsandbox.com
