You can create a website for your book, or just a website for yourself as an author, which will allow readers to quickly and easily access your work. Make your website easy to find and navigate, and allow your readers to view and maybe even comment on your poetry. Choose a simple format. Make sure that your poems look good on the online page and that the line breaks and font meet your standards. You can decide whether every poem will be published on one long page, or if readers can simply view a table of contents and click on the poem they want to read. Remember that a website is a great form of advertisement. Use your site to not only display your writing, but to promote your writing. A blog lets you release each poem individually and quickly get reader feedback as your blog readers leave comments, and it gives readers an easy way to keep up with your poetry by subscribing to your blog feed. You get no payment up front, but it's the easiest way to get reader feedback. Research the various blog hosts and pick the one best suited to your needs and budget. For a blog, set up your site appearance, URL, subscription options, and any custom web coding necessary to make poems display properly. Once you build a readership, add advertisements to your blog if you want a source of revenue; or, release your poems as an e-book or physical book that can be purchasedadded value in such a compilation may include illustrations and a special foreword from you. You can also easily edit a blog, so you can go back to make changes, or even add some poems to your collection. Just be wary about online reading attention span. Someone who reads your poetry on your blog may not be planning to give your work as much time and attention as someone with an e-book of your work or a physical copy of the book. If you feel that confining yourself to this attention span spoils the creativity, avoid using this outlet for your poems.

Summary: Publish your poetry through a website. Publish your poetry on a blog.

When your sibling has bothered or bullied you to the point that you're frustrated, take some time and create space between you both. Creating space and seeking privacy can give you time to cool off, think about your thoughts, and return to the situation when you're less frustrated. Some examples of space-making activities might be: Going into a bedroom or office and doing school work Taking a long bath or shower Leaving the house to hang out with friends Joining a club or activity group Going to a library to read or use the internet While constantly avoiding problems with your siblings is unlikely to change their behavior, ignoring them when they act out can be a powerful tool. Often, annoying or irritating siblings (and people in general) are seeking attention from you. If you deny them the attention by ignoring them, you can show them that their behavior isn't working. If they're bothering you and making you frustrated, count to ten and try to avoid retaliating. Walking away and taking a break from the situation can diffuse things. Just like asking a parent for advice or intervention, asking a parent to separate you when things get rough can be a good way to stop your sibling's bad behavior.

Summary: Spend time away from your sibling. Ignore their bad behavior. Try hard to keep things peaceful between you and your siblings on your end. Ask a parent to separate you.

If you find that your fountain has developed noticeable algae, the first thing you need to do is thoroughly scrub the individual components of your fountain. Take your fountain apart and clean each surface using soap and hot water and allow to air dry before reassembling. Wipe down the fountain with distilled white vinegar or a solution of 1 cup of bleach per gallon of water before soaping and rinsing the fountain. Rinse bleach thoroughly. Unlike preventative treatments, algaecides are meant to kill off existing algae growths within a fountain. Algaecides are available in home improvement stores as well as online and specialty retailers. Check the algaecide bottle to see how to properly use the product. Check the bottle to see how much product should be added to the water and at what frequency. Non-metallic algaecides work better in fountains as they are less likely to stain. If heavy algae growth continues for extended periods in your fountain, consider replacing the pump to get better water movement and circulation. You may be able to do this yourself, or you may want to call in an expert depending on the size of your fountain and your level of experience. Fountain pump systems can differ greatly. Check with your manufacturer to see what components your fountain requires.

Summary: Scrub your fountain. Use an algaecide. Replace your pump.

Park the car on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Park at home or at an auto garage if possible. If it turns out you can't fix the problem on the spot, you don't want to be forced to close your hood again to drive to a mechanic. If you're not familiar with the car, look for the interior release latch under the steering wheel, low down near the driver's door, or in the corner of the glove box. This often has a picture of a car with an open hood. Some older cars only have an exterior release. Look for a latch under the front lip of the hood. If you are locked out of the car, skip ahead to fixes that do not require interior access. When working correctly, this causes the hood to move upward a short distance. If you hear a noise but the hood does not move at all, the hood is probably stuck. Continue to the next step to fix it. If you do not hear anything, there's likely a problem with the cable or latch mechanism. Skip down to the next section. If the hood does open partially, all you need to do is press the exterior latch at the front of the hood. This latch is usually at the center or just to one side, and may depress upward or to the side. Stand outside the driver's seat and reach in to hold the interior release in the fully pulled position. With your other hand, slap the hood with an open palm. If you're lucky, the hood just needs a jolt. Take care not to dent your hood. You may need to use force, but keep your hand in an open palm position. Have a friend pull the interior release and keep it in that position. Stand at the front of the vehicle and pull up on the hood slowly but steadily. If the only problem is rust or grime, you can usually overcome it. If the hood won't budge, don't force it. Chilly weather or frost can cause the hood to stick. Let the engine idle for a while to thaw frozen parts, then try opening the hood again. If the hood still won't open, the cable or latch mechanism might be at fault. Continue to the next section to keep troubleshooting. Once you get your hood open, check for broken latch parts or a frayed cable, which needs replacing. If you don't see obvious problems, just lubricate the latch with a penetrating oil. It may also help to lubricate the cable with a spray lubricant. Insert the straw nozzle at the cable's end, between the inner cable and outer sheath. Pinch the area with a cloth and spray. Do not use silicone spray under your hood. It can contaminate the oxygen sensor, throwing off engine performance.
Summary: Park the vehicle. Locate the release latch. Test the interior release latch. Slap the hood to get it unstuck. Attempt to open the hood with an assistant. Leave the engine running in cold weather. Inspect the latch after opening.
