Simplybox and Free Photos
Two of my newest favourite sites to share with you today are …
and
With SimplyBox, you get a new toolbar on your browser window (Note to self and anyone that can help: I have 8 of these toolbars that are quickly using up too much space at the top of my browser – anyway I can minimise these all the top? Wasting too much space!), then when you see a picture, video or piece of text that you like, you simply box and save it. Then, when you look at your set of boxes on the internet, not only will you see the image that you liked, but it is still linked to the original website, so you can quickly find it and correctly attribute the image you are using. Works great with CompFight.
Free Photo Printing does what it say on the tin. It directs you to photo printing sites along with the codes that you need to get free or reduced photos. Fabulous! (Thanks to Sarah Fox for the tipoff!)

Hi,
Thanks for mentioning us in your blog post!
To the point about too many toolbars, if you are using Firefox, you can actually hide the toolbar (or have a single icon placed next to the Location bar, or in your status bar). Here is how you can do that:

Unfortunately Internet Explorer does not have the same flexibility. However, you can hide the toolbar entirely in Internet Explorer and just use hotkeys (also shown in the link above).
Hope that helps!
