However, it is possible to minimise the use of Microsoft software on a PC, and save yourself a small fortune in the process.

There is an interesting post on Net Business Blog about why it is better to build one website then building multiple websites.

I know many newbies wonder whether to build a traditional website or a blog for affiliate marketing. Both have their place, but which one is more likely to succeed?
