Everyone loves to hunt for a bargain, but you can’t always find them online. Many of the stores that we carry online coupons for also run weekly ads & sales in-store (as well as on their website). We’ve compiled a master list of the all the Weekly Sales Ads & Circulars we could find into an easy to digest interface, as always drop a note in the comments if you think we’re missing something!

Blogging can be a frustrating activity, there’s a number of steps that you need to go through to get that perfect post from your creative mind onto your blog. It could be something as simple as coming up with the initial idea, to making uploading all the photos attached to post or ensuring that the formatting of the post is spot on before you hit the publish button.
Posterous
Gone are the days of logging into WordPress. Posterous makes it ridiculously simple to blog, or infact add any type of media you want to your post. Simply send an email to post@posterous.com & you’re all set to go. The beauty of Posterous is that it recognizes media within your email & automatically formats it in the post.
You can either take a Posterous subdomain (i.e. yourname.posterous.com) or use your own domain, they’ll also give you 1GB of storage for images/photos & other media.
One of the drawbacks of using something like Posterous is that you really need to be starting your blog from scratch on it. It’s difficult to port over from another software or platform & bring the SEO benefit with you.
Many of us (just like the blog here) are using WordPress as our blogging platform. WordPress inherently has a number of flaws, the biggest of which is that you need to log in to create your post. ScribeFire almost turns your browser into Posterous (minus the pretty stuff they do with Images/Videos). [click to continue…]
Optimizing your website for maximum effectiveness is by far one of the best uses of your time (when you have an existing customer base), it is much easier to make your existing traffic go further than it is to gain more traffic (and keep it).
We’ve put together a collection of our favourite real life test examples (A/B Tests & Multivariate) that have actionable data and results that you can test on your own site. Some of the tests below have seen upwards of 300% improvement (you’d need to triple your traffic to see similar improvements).
Know any tests out there that we’ve missed? Drop us a line in the comments.
Yesterday I came across this post on coupon clipping by Ramit Sethi. In the comments a few readers are discussing how to use Evernote to organise their coupon clipping (since you can search for text within images), then find the right coupons quickly before they’re about to go shopping. Saving up to 60% on their shopping bills.
This got me thinking. I already use Evernote for a number of things:
Home Insurance
I’ve stored images of all the valuable items in my house on Evernote in case I ever need to make a claim. Pretty straight forward.
Archiving Bills
I scan & archive all bills on Evernote. This allows me to reduce clutter, protect my privacy a little better (no bills lying around) and also means I can keep much more data without needing physical space to store it.
Tax Receipts
I’m really bad at keep paper receipts, so I scan everything into Evernote so when tax time comes around everything is in the one spot.
Working from anywhere
Applications like Evernote & Dropbox make it easy to take your work anywhere. Start working on a blog post at home, then head out with your iPad. You could finish that post wherever you wanted & publish it without waiting to get home to finish it off.
Research
If I’m researching a particularly big blog post chances are that I will have lots of information in different places. Evernote allows me to clip the information I need & keep it all together. I could put it in one note, or create a own tag for that topic.
Meeting Minutes
I find Evernote very good for taking meeting notes. Create tags for the meeting and you can easily scan through previous notes. [click to continue…]
