Inspiration at Home

Inspiration is a great resource, the problem is many of our kids don't have it at home. Check out My Webspiration http://www.mywebspiration.com/

Webspiration is afflliated with Inspiration and lets users create free online accounts.

It even has the option to download and upload the documents to Inspiration 8.

Jog the Web

This is great site in which you can create tracks. A track is a way to lead people through the web from one page to the next. By a simple click these people can go through the webpages YOU like, in the order YOU like and even read comments YOU left. You can do all this for FREE. Check out some examples.
