Thank You!
Yes… i was Blog of the Day with my favorite online company .. Izea Inc..! thanks to all who came by.. and to some who left comments.. as well as emails.. and msn. I am truly touched.. you all have been really great. In this very small community, one finds true friend.. from blogging. Some who had been so kind as to send me food from home. I will never forget the kindness shown. Alot of ppl are very nice .. but there are some .. whom I was a fan.. but no longer am now. It’s quite disappointing how blogging can bring out the very ugliest character in some. Isn’t it better to be a good and honest blogger..?? I want to be able to sleep peacefully at nite.. and not have to worry.. about breaking the rules.. or making enemies. Life is too short..! enjoy it.. and be honest.
Guide To Web Hosting
I depend on the man for all my web hosting needs and without him, I think I would be totally handicap. I think what deters me alot about learning more about web hosting is the technical terms and the long, long matter-of-fact articles that can get real boring really fast for me.
If you are like me and want to learn more about multiple domain web hosting, here is where you can go to. The articles and tutorial are short and the articles here are really some of the questions I would like answers to. As an owner by association to a computer store, it is great to learn more about these stuff that way, I can answer some of the questions that our customers asked all the time from the man.
Web Design & Blogging
Turning websites into blogs is what we do for some of our customers in town. There has been a demand for it of late because I guess some people are beginning to realize that a blog can help to buil your business. Of course I am not the one doing all this work for our customers, it is the spouse/boss who had been doing it.
For a layman like me I wouldn’t even know where to start, those ftps and phps, I really don’t know much about it. It was easy enough for the man to update information and sort it out by categories or by tags, but a getting a new look for an entire blog is as easy as downloading a theme. It only takes a few seconds if you know what to do.
Reading up constantly on good sites that shows you how things work and gives you useful information is important for the kind of work we do. A lot has changed over the years when it comes to coding; javascript and flash which are now among the most popular formats is something that’s new to us, whereby we had depended on HTML for the longest time.
Stylish Design is relatively new and a growing resource containing useful information on designing web pages and setting up & maintaining server software. You can also learn about search engine optimization, web directories and more on different tools and softwares.
Blog back Up
Back up your blog with this free online blog backup service at blogbackup. Runs over the internet and you get daily back up, no installation required. And it works with any blog. Awesome..! I’ve gotta start using it myself .. afterall, i don’t want to lose any of my work to viruses or hackers.
Under One Roof With Banner Blindness
As an owner by association to a small business, even I know and understand the importance of advertising online. In this day and and age, not one person I know goes without the internet. The internet is a very powerful and useful machine and can be utilized to its maximum potential if you know how, but how many of us are an experts in it..?? How does one find and capture the right targeted audience? What is online advertising and what makes you different from your competitors..? How does one break through Banner Blindness..??
For any company looking to stand out and succeed in online marketing as it exists today, and to successfully stretch and optimize your advertising dollar to gain success in a short period of time, one needs a marketing agency that has expertise in bringing a company like yours up another notch. Bannerblindness.com boasts of all the above and more to offer their potential clients, the under one roof agency that truly understands the online medium. Offering what you and your company needs and focusing on increasing your site traffic, online revenue, viral syndication, banner creation and more. Why mess with the mediocre when you can have the best.
A Fan Of The Store
We were at the mall today.. doing grocery shopping when we met someone working in the mall, telling us.. that he was a fan of the store’s website. It was really nice. I didn’t think that alot of ppl from this town read PB’s blog . .but apparently someone does.. it’s kinda funny.. and amusing. Plus he also noticed the sponsored postings.. but i don’t think he really knows how much we make from it.
Fast Web Hosting
As a blogger and a small business owner, fast web hosting is very important to us. Page loading time and the least down time is very important to us and if are like me and unhappy with your web hosting company, now is the time to change because Simplehelix is offering a unbeatable package starting at $4.95/month, no contract needed, and no penalties for early termination.
Boasting of being the fastest hosting in the nation and using technology and server optimization, they are much faster than any competitors you can find in the blogosphere. Not only do they have highly skilled engineers working along side with you, extensive benchmarking on their servers were done to achieve the fastest processing server one can provide. You would be glad to know that they only utilize the latest Intel Xeon Quad Core Multi-Threading Technology.
Enjoy the most affordable Linux hosting packages with rich features in their hosting plans and a 24/7 customer support team to assist you at anytime.. and in any region. The stability of this webhosting company where down time is at its lowest and uptime at 99.999%, is what i look forward to as a blogger, an offer too good to refuse.
IZEA Rank For Real Ranking
Before writing paid reviews, ranking of my blogs didn’t mean a thing to me. I write because of my love for writing.. and because I wanted to chronicle the life of my daughter - the miracle of my life, my life in Canada and also the business I run together my other half.

I have great faith in the IZEA ranking even though it is the newcomer in the ranking field for this ranking tool focuses on blogs and strives to provide not only an accurate ranking system, but provides data for the advertisers and which blog really benefits them. For both the advertisers and bloggers around the world, this will definitely benefit both parties instead of some random ranking that isn’t accurate at all.

The more people who uses IzeaRanking will make it more accurate. No need to “kowtow” to Lord Google anymore, because Google PR is not accurate when it comes to traffic and visibility.

An Open Letter to P.P.P.
Yes.. i was about to write an open letter to P.P.P., taking the example of ProBlogger and his letter to Adsense. It was intriguing to read what ProBlogger wrote and it surely apt the feeling i had for P.P.P. yesterday.
I was angry of course.. yesterday.. but like always.. i never write or say anything.. when i am angry.. i give myself 3 days.. before doing anything. That way, i know I am not acting stupid. What about you ..?? do you rant and throw tantrums.. and wanna punch someone .. when you are mad..?? Oh. btw .. everything is resolved.. and P.P.P. is still my favorite ppl.

Groovy Homepage
I love my online homepage to be different from others .. in fact I would love for it to be unique. We all spend hours in front of the computer.. and what better way to show off your stuff… to friends and co-workers .. by either having your favourite celebrity on your homepage or ever using your own images that you have.
I bet all mummies out there would love to put up pictures of their babies/kids and as for those in love.. i’m sure the hunk in your life.. is the current picture you want to show off. Those who don’t have kids or boyfriends or lovers or part-time boyfriends .. they can show off their pets. It’s really fun.. and the men.. wouldn’t mind a sexy and provocative picture of their favorite star that they adore, afterall, all men ogles .. irregardless of their age.
Personalize Google makes it so easy for you to make your homepage, unique and awesome.. and talk of the day. More features are expected to be added on in the near future, since it is afterall powered by Google. It takes seconds to personalize your homepage as they are found in different categories like celebrity, sports, pets and pictures from the space, to reflect the romantic nature in you. So have fun.. be groovy.. and upload any pictures you like or used the already ready ones. Goodbye to plain old blue nothing on it online homepages.
A Gift In Return
A couple of weeks ago, I posted on PPP’s forum about how I would love to do something as a group for Izea/PPP team. Not just me.. but calling out to all posties who if not for Izea/PPP, wouldn’t have gotten ahead with their bills, and many other luxuries that we couldn’t afford. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that Izea/PPP is God.. but if you and I have been posties, you will know what I am talking about.
“Christmas is just round the corner.. and as posties.. we’ve all been thru’ alot lately. I am sure you know where i am coming from. But we have to give credit .. where credit is due.. and we’ve never had a more hardworking and dedicated team.. than Ted & his team. Sure we have had our ups and downs.. etc.. etc.. etc.. but is there something we can do for these folks..?? to show them .. we really appreciate them..??I do.. but if we can make it a team effort.. with as many posties . .doing it.. it would be great..! what say you ..??”
Seriously speaking, I’ve never met someone as nice, genuine and a matter of factly way as Ted Murphy. Never putting anyone down.. in any written articles or conversation. As for the team, yes .. i know we have our ups and downs.. and teething problems.. but I know for a fact that they are doing their best. Yes.. i’m very proud to be a PPP postie and in the past 7 months, I feel alot more useful than just helping my spouse with his business. I’ve made my OWN money.. since coming to Canada. It feels really good and I’m sure alot of bloggers out there .. know exactly how I feel.
Anyhow.. coming back to doing something for Izea/PPP team, Postie homeschoolZoo came up with a great suggestion about donating to a charitable organization picked by Izea/PPP team. And yes.. Ashley from PPP informed me this morning, that they’ve picked Habitat for Humanity. Read A Generous Gift at IZEA’s blog. Like my grandmother used to say, always give back to society, so here.. posties… this is your chance to give back to society, give generously, give whatever you feel comfy with, give because you have been given. Give for the nice folks at IZEA/PPP .. if you have ever had something done for you by the team.. irregardless if it was Ted or anyone at IZEA/PPP .. GIVE..! Trust me.. IZEA/PPP has done alot for me… but that’s for another post.
I thank you all .. from the bottom of my heart.. for all those donating or planning to donate. This is the best Christmas I’ve had.. because I’m able to do something back for the people who have done stuff for me.. and made my life a better/more meaningful one.
Give the Gift of A Home This Holiday
Rudolf Plan
Christmas is definitely a time for giving and getting all stuff at the best price ever. This Christmas, one can get the best ever web hosting plan of the century. A plan called Rudolf Plan definitely means.. Santa is on our side. The most affordable and not to be missed web hosting plan. Just a one-time payment of USD$95 and you get 250GB disk space, 3000 GB bandwidth, unlimited MySQL databases, PHP4, Webmail, professional website design tools and an absolutely free domain for life..!!
No hidden cost.. no gimmick, see it as it is.. and no recurring fees. But offers end when the Rudolf plan of 1000 is sold..! so hurry.. not miss this offer..! if you have a loved one or a family member that you haven’t bought any presents for, this may be the best present you can give to him/her. So awesome is this deal. .that you will regret it.. if you don’t get it. No more worries about paying your webhost ever again, no more complications with keeping track of paying again and again. And what’s best is you are not bonded to it forever. If you don’t like THC you are free to go, at any time. Within 30 days, it is absolutely for you to try out and decide but after 30days there will be no refund, but you don’t need 30days to know if you like your hosting company right?
Chez Pim
If you donch know Chez Pim by now.. than you haven’t been blogging long .. and you are someone who doesn’t like food at all.

Petite Chez Pim is also behind the charity drive called the Menu For Hope. Nope.. i donch know Chez Pim on a personal level.. but she sure loves some of the same kinda food that I loved.

Anyways.. pick up a copy of food and wine.. and see how Chez Pim cook and entertain during her skiing trip in Lake Tahoe with her famous chef b/f.
