How to Download Free Bluetooth Ringtones
It is easy to download free Bluetooth ringtones if you know how to do it. In fact, the term 'Bluetooth ringtones' is not quite correct, because Bluetooth do not provide ringtones, only the means to transfer them from your PC or laptop to your cell phone
Step1
If you compare free Bluetooth ringtones to what you get for a relatively small monthly payment, it is probably a better deal to pay for them. Most sites offer real ringtones for from $5.99 a month upwards, with $9.99 about average. For that small cost you can get unlimited downloads of realtones and wallpapers. What would you rather have? Free ringtones that are old and embarrassing or the best and newest you can get, renewable every day if you want, for 33 cents a day?
Step2
Do you really want to be the guy or gal who has to answer that phone ringing out Leapy Lee or Home Sweet Home? I am not exaggerating. However, this article is not about what ringtones you want to be answering, but about how to get them onto your mobile phone using Bluetooth.
You are going to need a Bluetooth dongle, although why it is called a dongle is unknown. It must be boys and their toys, because we all know how some guys like to play with their dongles. Dangling your dongle is a well liked pastime in some quarters! So, get your dongle: you can buy one on eBay for under $10 including postage, and install it onto your computer using the installation disk. It looks a bit like a USB memory stick, and you simply insert your dongle into the appropriate slot and make the connection to the software.
Step3
You also need a cell phone that has Bluetooth. To find out if yours is suitable, go to 'services' or 'settings' and check out 'Connections'. If you have Bluetooth, you will see either the name or the Bluetooth logo - a white double triangle making the letter 'B' on a blue background.
What you have to do now is to search on your computer for the downloaded free Bluetooth ringtones, and then activate Bluetooth on your mobile phone. You can now browse the cell phone folders using your PC or laptop - Bluetooth provides the interface that allows this. It's just like browsing through any directory structure, and once you have found the area in which your ringtones are stored on your mobile phone, you can either copy and paste those you want o transfer from your computer, or simply drag and drop if you are using two windows.
Step4
The dongle provides the interface between your PC or laptop, and allows you to transfer the free Bluetooth ringtones from one to the other. You can also do the same the other way - transfer files from your cell phone to your PC, and you can use the same procedure to upload wallpapers and games to your mobile phone.
That's how it's done, although the term free Bluetooth ringtones is a misnomer, because all Bluetooth does is to provide a means of transferring MP3 and MIDI files from your computer to your mobile. So, whether you want to use genuinely free ringtones or pay a nominal sum to have unlimited downloads of the latest chart hits, a Bluetooth dongle enables you to do so quickly and effortlessly.
You don't need to pay for ringtones anymore.

Create a PDF Ebook - For a Beginner, by a Beginner
If you are going to create a PDF ebook, you are going to need a software program to help you do this. This article does two things. First, the article helps the beginner understand the Adobe software package and how it relates to ebooks. Second, it provides a free alternative for creating your own PDFs. Since this was my first attempt at creating a PDF, this article was written for a beginner, by a beginner.
This is my general understanding of Adobe and how this company relates to PDF ebooks.
Adobe Systems created the portable document format (PDF) in 1993.
Adobe Acrobat is a family of computer programs created by Adobe Systems. According to Wikipedia, they were "designed to view, create, manipulate and manage files in Adobe's portable document format (PDF)".
Adobe Reader is one of the programs within the Adobe Acrobat family. You can download Adobe Reader for free. This software is used to view and print PDF ebooks.
Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is the software package needed to create PDF files. At the time of this writing this package cost $299.00. (You can also use Pro $449.00 or Pro Extended $699.00).
In summary, if you would like to read PDF ebooks you can download for free, Adobe Reader. If you would like to create PDF ebooks as well, then you need to purchase one of Adobes software packages, such as Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard.
Since I know that I would like to create PDF files, I have decided that I will need a software package to do this. I do not however, want to spend $299.00 to create my first PDF ebook. Adobe looks like a great product and a package that I may buy in the future, but for my first project, I would like to do this as simply and as cheaply as possible.
OpenOffice
I recently found out about a product called OpenOffice, similar to Microsoft Office. This is free software which can be downloaded at openoffice.org. I found this product via a "You Tube" video. After watching the video, I visited the website at instantebookpublishing.com. The website provides information about ebooks and includes a copy of the video mentioned above. It's a great nine minute video that walks you through creating your first PDF with OpenOffice.
I have recently put this product to the test. I downloaded the software from OpenOffice and used it to create my first PDF ebook. Creating the ebook took less than an hour following the simple instructions from the video. Again, this was my first PDF and it took less than an hour.
The PDF included internal links and one external link. The internal links allowed me to jump from a table of contents directly to the chapter I wanted to read. The external link was simply a link to my website. Creating these links were very easy and the video shows you how.
So, I was able to create a PDF ebook at no cost by using the following:
1) Open Office - the word processor allows me to create PDF files.
2) instantebookpublishing.com - nine minute video showing how to use OpenOffice to create a PDF.
3) Adobe Reader - allows me to read the ebook (even though not created with Adobe).
