Instead of making a phone call, writing a letter or taking a trip down to your Local Counil, FixMyStreet allows you to file a report directly from your computer. Thus eliminating all of the usual hassles and time constraints associated with reporting a problem via the normal channels.

Once you have filed a report, this service will alert you via e-mail as to when your Local Council has received the report and again when the problem has been fixed.

Is there any problems on your street, that are the responsibility of your Local Council, which you feel are not being addressed? If so, then take a visit to FixMyStreet.com and they'll get on their case for you.

Here is the definition of the word 'Grill' that I found on the site...

 Meanings of grill:

1. Teeth
2. A gold/diamond plate that is molded for your teeth. It is decorated with diamonds and/or gold. Usually worn by rappers, Nelly, Paul Wall, Mike Jones and many others.
   

There are several ways to surf this site. The easiest way is to type in the word you want to define in the dictionary, like I did. Put in the term you want to define and click the search button.

Or, you can go through alphabetically, A-Z, and browse slang words by letter. Or you can click Random at the very end of the A to Z listing and get a random word. There are also random listings that change on the main page.

You can even add your own slang terms to the site if a search for the word turns up nothing.

I wouldn’t want my children using a lot of this terminology, that is for sure. Another warning that I just noticed: some of the examples do have profanity in them, so I wouldn’t recommend showing this site to kids.

Update: 14/06/2008

I submitted the word iBanter to the Urban Dictionary, as I run a few sites called that, and it has now been approved, listed and it's definition is available to view here. Please give it a 'Thumbs-up' vote if you do!

What's unique about WidgetBox, is that anyone who adds your widget to their site can make all the changes they need to the widget to make it fit their site's design - like changing the size or colours - without affecting the original widget. Why not try it by clicking on the ''Get Widget' button at the bottom of my one above.

WidgetBox also has a very large community of members who may rate and comment on your widget and who also may become new readers of your blog once they discover it.

To use your own WidgetBox widgets here in your blog's side-bar, you'll first have to enable one of the 'HTML Modules' in your blog's design wizard (HTML modules are not available in group blogs) and add the code for your widget in that.

If you need any help, please ask in a comment below...

I've come across a really good image hosting site, that allows you to upload, store and share an unlimited amount of images, with no file-size, bandwidth or time restrictions and is totally FREE too.

The site is called 'iBanter Photo Pimp' and it also allows you to add some really cool effects to your photos and images if you want to - like silly hats, big noses, funny teeth and various bling items, etc.

To give you an example, you can turn a photo like this one:

(click on above image to see the larger version)
What's more, there's a social element to the site too, which allows other people to rate and pimp your photos. Remember, it's FREE, so just go ahead and have some fun with it by clicking here...

Well not any more...

I came across this great site just the other day, called Polaroize, that gives you the power to make all of your images so much more interesting. It does it by adding an effect that makes them appear as though they are somehow completely seperate from the page itself and are sitting on, or floating above, it.

Here's an example below of a really boring (but also very sexy) photo of myself, as I would have normally added it to a blog post or web page in the past:

And below is exactly the same photo, except that I have edited it using the Polaroize website:

I'm sure you'll agree with me, that the second photo looks much more interesting than the first one... and yet the only changes the Polaroize website made to the image, was to add a white border, slightly rotate the image to the left and then add a drop-shadow to it - all with just a couple of clicks of my mouse. Now it kind of looks like a photo taken with a Polaroid camera, don't you think.

It's so easy to create this effect for your own images using the Polaroize website. Simply click here (or click on the image above) to go to the Polaroize website now. Then click on the 'Browse' button to select an image from your computer and then hit the 'Upload' button to generate your new image. Once your new image appears on your screen, right-click on it and choose 'Save Image As' to save it to your computer. Viola... how easy was that!!!

What do you think of the Polaroize website? I'd really like to know. Will you be using it yourself, or not? If you do decide to use it to spruce up your blog/website, then why not pop a link in a comment so we can see what you've done. Do you know of any other sites that let you do cool stuff with your images? If so, then please share them with us!
