It’s been an interesting week with lots of changes on the Web to keep up with and plenty of work coming through the door from new and regular customers. Word-of-mouth has got to be the best advertising you can ever invest in and that’s a concept that so many small businesses still fail to understand.

Of course times are tough and likely to get a whole lot tougher for the small business sector so I thought I would share this page with you. It’s a list of 51 different free computer programmes. Not all of them will be suitable for your business and some – like the registry cleaner - I would NEVER use but there are others that you will find useful.

There’s OpenOffice that gives you a whole suite of office software, PDFCreator that can creat PDF files from any printable document and plenty more that you may find useful.
