Here’s a collection of great places to visit, stores, and other things I’ve found on the web. I’m guilty of spending a little too much time on social media and not browsing the web like I used to, as in actually visiting people’s websites and poking around. I also realized that most blogs no longer keep a favorite links list anymore, so I decided to create one!

Blogging Tools
- AI Voice Generator I'm interested in trying this in the future. It can turn your blog articles into audio with natural sounding voices. Great for anyone who is blind, or who needs help focusing to read. (Great for ADHD people with longer articles.)
- Color Thesaurus
- IG LineBreak Caption Generator Use this for generating proper linebreaks in Instagram captions if the tool you're using to post tends to erase them.
- Instagram Hashtag Composer Enter the first hashtag then it will recommend others and let you know which have the most reach.
- Recipes Generator I no longer use this plugin but it's great if you're working on a website that doesn't support Wordpress plugins. Can also be used for crafting tutorials.
