WMD-Editor.com - The WYSIWYMean Editor
2008-06-09 06:39:00 What it doesWMD-Editor , aka the WYSIWYM Markdown Editor, is a streamlined HTML editor for your blog, for forums, for comments and for basic content in general. Unlike the more common WYSIWYG, WMD-Editor brings you What You See Is What You Mean, the difference being that straight forward ‘what you get’ type editors fail to make your texts more accessible. Handicapped people and mobile users for instance, don’t benefit from WYSIWYG. HTML is meant as a descriptor and that is exactly how WMD leverages it.

It’s freely availble for download and works with all major browsers including Opera, Konqueror and Netscape.In their own words”WMD is a simple, lightweight HTML editor for blog comments, forum posts,...

Get Rid Of Ants Without An Exterminator [Household]
2008-06-09 05:00:00 Has warm weather brought a plague of ants down upon your home? We’ve talked about deterring ants with baby powder, but frugal blog fivecentnickel.com shares the following more aggressive method: First, pick up some boric acid powder (available at most drug stores) and mix a small amount of it 50:50 with table sugar. There’s nothing particularly scientific about this ratio, so it’s fine to just eyeball it. Next, put some of this mix into a small container such as the the cap from a milk jug or the lid from a 2 liter bottle. Finally, drizzle some water into it to make a slurry (i.e., a thick suspension). That’s it — you’re now ready to kill some ants. Some ants feed off fats and grease instead of sweets, so you can make this mixture with peanut butter instead of sugar should the first round of ant warfare prove ineffective.
