You should be looking for .wav files. There are tons to choose from out there, anything from South Park “You’ve got mail you bastards!” and plain “ding”-sounds to Austin Powers “You got mail baby!“. For example, check out ILoveWavs and TheSoundArchive.
When you have found a sound that you like, download it and then place the sound file in C:/WINDOWS/Media where Windows other .wav files are stored. If you save it some place else, you might delete it by accident later on and then you will get an error!

Some of you may remember that I had two WordPress themes up for download ages ago. I decided to put up my very second premade theme, Cactuus Blue 2.0 that I made a couple of years ago. It is not that pretty in any way (but there are people using it) and it should really be re-coded but it works and it is simple. If you want to play with a theme you can use this one!
The 2.0 theme has been “SEO’d” by Courtney Tuttle, has three columns, is NOT widgetized and works with WordPress version 2.7. You can do whatever you want with it, as long as the credits stay intact!
