December's top tipsters...
Great month for submitted tips! The results and in. Here are your winners...
1st Prize - $100
HOUSEHOLD
Add aluminum foil under iron board cover
If you add a layer of aluminum foil under the cover of your ironing board this will prevent the steam from the iron from penetrating the padding of the ironing board and reflect it back into the item of clothing you are ironing. This way your ironing will be more efficient and fast.

2nd Prize - $75
EMPLOYMENT
A smart way to work with your boss
A good working relationship never fails. If you wish to get along with your boss well, learn more about his personality - his attitude, temperament, work habits, family background and some intangibles to understand his mental dispositions. Mold your actions and reactions to these indicators to avoid work friction. Give a try. This technique really works!

3rd Prize - $50
TRANSPORTATION
Avoid interstate speeding in non-home state
You should never speed, but speeding when not in your home state could increase your chances of receiving a ticket. Police know that out-of-state speeders are unlikely to leave their home state to fight a traffic ticket in court. It is tantamount to a guaranteed conviction, and they are on the lookout for these non-resident speeders. Be careful when you travel!

Daytipper now includes sub-categories
Up until very recently, all of our tips were grouped into 17 categories. While this was an easy way to organize our content into logical groupings, we always wanted to support something a bit more precise.
Good news!
We now have the ability to assign sub-categories to all tips. It's going to take us awhile to dig back through the catalog and assign sub-categories to previously published tips. However, all newly published will be assigned a sub-category when applicable.
Expect to see additional sub-categories rolled out in the coming weeks.
You'll now notice that published tips on the Homepage include both the category and sub-category listed directly above the tip title. Click on a tip category (via the navigation pane on the left-side of the window) and you'll then see all sub-categories within that category. It sounds more confusing than it is. :) Browse around and you'll see what I'm talking about.
As always, we welcome any ideas and suggestions for sub-categories. Write us at info @ daytipper . com.
Happy New Year!

The top 3 tips published in October of 2008
Thanks to everyone who submitted. I'm pleased to announce that prizes are being allocated to the following three tipsters...
FINANCE
Pay down debt before funding 401k
Some will try to disagree but 401k needs to wait until you are out of debt. Let me explain. When in debt you have negative interest charging against you. If you have 401k, there is a positive interest coming to you. You are not helping yourself here. Put all your money to eliminate the negative interest first, then put more into 401k. This will give you more in the long run.

TRAVEL
A little bit of home
If you travel frequently, it can be stressful. One way to alleviate stress is to have a little bit of home with you. Take a few small photos of family members to set out. Take your own pillow case with you. Carry travel versions of your favorite scented candles. Small touches like this will make even a hotel room more comforting and homelike.
Kimberly in Sonora, CA
PETS
Babysit for pet before you buy one
Next time you get ready to get a new pet, look into babysitting someones pet for a week first to make sure you can handle the responsibilities. Online directories are full of people in need of pet baby sitting in return for monetary earnings.

Include a few inside jokes, let them see that what they thought of as a flaw actually is a great trait, and make them feel better about themselves.

Exciting News From Daytipper
New Incentives for Daytipper Contributors
We've listened to our users and have heard that you would like your submitted tips published more quickly. To this end, we're pleased to announce some exciting new changes to the Daytipper website. As of September 1 2008, we will be offering cash prizes of $100, $75, and $50 to the top three authors with the most useful and popular tips in a given month.
At the same time, we will be ceasing our current policy of paying per tip. This new policy will allow us to publish much more content, and grow the online community even more quickly.
Was your tip accepted before September 1, 2008?
Don't worry! We will honor all payments to you once we publish your tip to our site, as promised.
Also, the newsletter has returned and will be delivered into your inbox every Tuesday and Thursday.
Thank you for being a valued Daytipper contributor and visitor. We hope you are as excited about these changes as we are. Let us know what you think.

I wish all rejected tips were this hilarious...
Do you have sweaty hands? If so, Lance has a perfect solution!
"The solution is weird, but it works! During your first piss of the day, pee a bit on your hands, rub together, and then rinse off afterwards. Sounds gross, but it works!"
Someone out there willing to try this and report back?
