Miscellaneous Free Stuff These are the online services that didn't fit well into any other category.

free-ENGLISH Rating: 10/10

• Here is a website that helps you improve your English speaking skills if you speak English as a second language.
  
  Ames Bible College Rating: 10/10
  
• This Christian institution of higher learning offers free non-credit distance learning courses covering a curriculum that "integrates personal, community, and special applications of God’s Word". College credit can also be earned through the courses by paying an admininstrative fee.
  
  Cheerful Chums Rating: 9/10
  
• I can't necessarily say that this website is particularly useful, but it looks quite amusing. Cheerful Chums is an online cartoon generator, which allows you to enter characteristics of a person and have a cartoon automatically drawn of them. You can have up to two characters in one picture.
  
  ALbumTown Rating: 9/10
  
• This website can help you share your photos online by posting them in an "album" format. The "albums" have a variety of features to allow you to effectively share your photos with others. Unfortunately, the free "albums" feature advertising.
  
  Stuphcom Rating: 9/10
  
• This service, similar to Quickdot, allows you to type messages in a manner similar to a "bulletin board". There are even character's faces you can insert into your messages! I don't think that it's as popular as Quickdot, but it's just as useful if any of your friends use it.
  
  Neopets Rating: 9/10
  
• Do you remember what a Tamagatachi was? They were these little Japanese toys the size of a wristwatch that simulated caring for a pet that everyone had to have back in 1997. This is sort of like that, enhanced by the power of the Internet.
  
  FREE Resume Posting Rating: 9/10
  
• Here is a free resume posting service that may be of interest to some people. While I personally can't test or confirm whether it really works well or not, my experience with online promotion of any sort is that you usually have to manually submit to various sites to get good results. Still, it's a free service.
  
  I4U Free Price Watch Rating: 8/10
  
• If you like to get the lowest prices possible on online purchaces, I4U Price Watch might be very helpful. It monitors prices on items you select, and sends you an e-mail when the price reaches a certain level. Currently, the service is only in Beta testing and only works with Amazon.com.
  
  Embroidery Design Spot Rating: 9/10
  
• This website offers free embroidery patterns in a wide variety of file formats. New patterns are added monthly.
  
  buysellcommunity.com Rating: 9/10
  
• This site offers free sixty day classified ads. The ads are the same quality as you would expect from a larger classifieds site, and there does not seem to be any advertising on the site other than the classified ads themselves. The main drawback is that the site has not attained a great deal of visibility yet.
  
  Fax - Fax Rating: 8/10
  
• You can sign up for this company's online fax retrieval service for a 30 day free trial. Through this service, you can receive faxes and have them converted into .tif files and read them on your computer. While this looks like a very useful service, unfortunately it's just a free trial.
  
  GameMagician.com Rating: 8/10
  
• This website is designed to facilitate the trade of used video games. Through its system you can buy and sell games with a fictional currency. This service is only available in the U.S. and Canada.

• This service is a downloadable program that allows you to make free phone calls from your computer.
  
  PlanIT 3D Rating: 8/10
  
• This website is a resource for free meshes, textures, and sound fx. Personally I'm not an expert in this field, but the website does look to be interesting if you're into that sort of thing.
  
  Free Sheet Music Downloads Rating: 8/10
  
• If you're looking for sheet music online, this website is a good place to start. This site is only a directory, though; they don't have any sheet music availalbe for download directly.
  
  Country Corner Crafts Free Woodcraft Patterns Rating: 8/10
  
• While I won’t pretend to be an expert carpenter, it does apper that this website has some good patterns for your wood craft projects. The patterns are available for non-commercial use only.
  
  FreeCraftz.com
  
• This site offers free craft patterns for you to print off of your own printer. They include primitive, Christmas and country crafts. FreeCraftz.com is obviously worth checking out if you're into crafts!
  
  Haloween Coloring Pages Rating: 7/10
  
• This website has some free graphics available that you could download to use as coloring pages for children. I don't know how people would really find it all that useful, but if you're looking for something to keep your kids busy it might be worth checking out.
  
  My ParenTime's Printable Checklists Rating: 7/10
  
• Some checklists that can easily be printed and used by your family.
  
  AllFreecruit Rating: 7/10
  
• A website with free "jobboards" for posting jobs to. They claim to offer free "jobboards" for websites.
  
  Long Island Share Group Rating: 7/10
  
• This site allows users to upload and download pictures in order to get around firewalls and share pictures with others. It looks like a promising site, although the hit counter looks pretty low right now.
  
  eFax Rating: 7/10
  
• Here is a service that allows you to receive faxes online.
  
  Horse Racing Systems from Bet-Won.com Rating: 7/10
  
• This website offers free horse racing picks from New York, Florida and California race tracks via e-mail. You only need to submit your e-mail address, although they claim that "from time-to-time we may also inform you of updates and products."
  
  All Free Online Childrens' Books Rating: 6/10
  
• As downloadable e-books have shown, the literary world is rapidly moving online. This website marks the latest step, by providing free childrens' books (with advertising) in HTML on their website. Personally, I don't think the idea works too well right now; the books don't include any rich media that would be advantageous over printed books and the books are not illustrated to the same depth that you would probably find in an offline book.
  
  Okongo Not Rated
  
• I can't figure out what this site is about! Supposedly, it has something to do with finding low prices for goods. All I really know about this site is that it has a few links to free stuff sites.
  
  FilesAnywhere Rating: 4/10
  
• Do you need a place to store your files online for 30 days? If so, then you should check out FilesAnywhere. However, this is only a 30 day free trial, with 50MB of space.
  
  Mandala Coloring Rating: 3/10
  
• This website claims that coloring is an incredibly therapeutic activity, and invites you to sample this by printing out one of their manadalas to color for yourself. From what I remember from Language Arts 8H, a mandala is some crazy form of art from India that symbolizes your personality. There isn't much on this page, though, hence the low rating.
  
  Coloring Therapy.org Rating: 3/10
  A very similar mandala to the one offered above by Mandala Coloring.
  
  Astrological Chart Online Rating: 3/10
  
• If you're into astrology, this might be a useful tool for you. Personally, I'm not astrologically inclined, so it's worthless to me. You can aslo contact the webmaster about adding the astrology chart to your website.
  
  Fonts
  
  FontGuy Rating: 10/10
  
• This nicely built site has plenty of excellent fonts for you to download, all completely free. There are also lists of the top fonts and font authors.
  
  Abstract Fonts.com Rating: 9/10
  
• This site claims to have 555 fonts available for download. Also, they are all well categorized. It looks like one of the best fonts sites on the Web.
  
  Font Island Rating: 9/10
  
• Here's a good font site with a wide selection. Unfortunately, the fonts are only categorized by letter, making it difficult to find a particular font.
  
  1001 free fonts Rating: 9/10
  
• As you might have been able to tell from the name, this website has 1001 free fonts for you to download, in windows and mac formats.
  
  Dingbat Depot Rating: 9/10
  
• I never would have guessed that there was such a wide spectrum of dingbat (pictorial) fonts available before I visited this website. Dingbat Depot has an astounding selection of dingbats, in a multitude of themes ranging from animals to outer space. Definitely a must-see website if you're into dingbat fonts!
  
  High Fonts Rating: 8/10
  
• The fonts at High Fonts are pretty good, and there is a decent number of fonts to choose from. The only thing I found difficult was the fact that the fonts were sorted alphabetically, not by style, so you really have to know the name of the font you're looking for or browse through all of them.
  
  FontZone Rating: 8/10
  
• 669 free fonts await you if you visit FontZone for your font hunting needs. It looks like a great quality fonts site.
  
  Free Typewriter Fonts Rating: 8/10
  
• Not just another general fonts site, this site specializes in free typewriter fonts, as their name suggests. They do an excellent job of providing free typewriter fonts though.
  
  Font Mania Rating: 7/10
  
• There's nothing special about Font Mania, their selection is good but not well organized or detailed.
  
  XMAS FONTS.com Rating: 7/10
  
• This site has a limited number of holiday related fonts. It's worth checking out if you're making a website or publication about Christmas!
  
  Fontfree.com Rating: 7/10
  
• A fairly nice free fonts site, Fontfree.com provides tons of fonts for free. Their site layout is nice and easy to navigate, and it's fun to browse through all their fonts.
