Shifting Sidebars #15

Our Net - LegalDocs.  Downloadable legal documents and forms for many common situations encountered in the US.  Many free, many fee (discounted).  Similar to Nolo site (not in sidebar).

Google Suggest Explorer.  Not a Google product, but a handy knockoff of the ’suggest’ search phrases function now available in Google web search.  Both make searching easier.  While Google suggests search phrases dynamically as you type in search terms, Explorer captures in static form the output (with links) for any search phrase.

Language - Polly Glotto.  Text-to-speech (’talking’) translator.  Lots of fun.

UsingEnglish.  Excellent English as Second Language site.  Register to get more from it.
