Blogging

Niche Blog

Leave a comment

The other day, I friend told me that I should grab an opportunity with a payout of $11 despite it does not fit into my qualifying blog. She said that I should not care so much about what goes into my blog as long as I get the money since our Page Rank has tanked and we will be struggling to earn a decent amount of money from our blogs.

And she told me that since traffic is not that high, it doesn’t matter because no one would care. Well, I DO. I try my best to write in the way that will fit into the niche of my blog, though I am aware that I sometimes fail.

Well, in the end I did not grab it.

Have A Smooth Relocation

Leave a comment

If you have read one of my earlier posts regarding my colleague’s relocation, you would know that it’s very important to look for a reputable mover, more so if it’s a long distance move.

This morning, I was told of a company that has a database of Long Distance Moving Companies. What they do is actually put these movers through stringent checks and pre-negotiate discounts with them.

If you are looking for a mover, just send in your request to this company at movingcompanies.tv and you will be connected to one of the many movers in their database. This will ensure that you will only have a top moving company handling your move and at an attractive rate too.

Moving can be a huge hassle and we don’t need a less than reputable company to help us mess up the move further.

Beautiful House Plans for Download

1 Comment

As I was checking a couple of sites on the internet like I normally do, I remember that my sister told me that she bought a house plan recently to build on her new plot of land. I felt curious because here, it’s either a cookie cutter house or one that’s drawn up specifically for us by an architect.

But then my sister told me that in the United States, there are many companies that sell house plans. If you are looking for Small Ranch House Plans, no problem. Looking for English Cottage House Plans, no problem either.

Companies like House Plans and More are making available house plans for all types of houses easily downloadable from their website. Just select and check out. That’s so straight forward. However, if you are up to adding different elements to your house to make it YOURS alone, you are free to make modifications too. But even if you do not make any modifications, the houses are beautiful enough, as can be seen from this photo. If you are looking for this Log Cabin House Plans, just go to House Plans and More. Yet, this is way cheaper than hiring an architect for an exclusive plan, don’t you think so?

WordPress Issues

Lots Of Plug Ins to Install

Leave a comment

I’ve got a bunch of plug-ins waiting to be installed and play with but then I tried these all on my other WordPress blog and I don’t know why now I cannot even log out of my own account. It keeps bringing me back to my WordPress Dashboard. I don’t know why and where the problem lies in and am not even sure if the problem is the plug in or the template. What do you think???

Also, it’s so frustrating to wake up every morning fighting spam comments on this blog. It’s not as if they are trapped by Akismet, though the majority of the comments are caught. Lately, they are coming through to my email box and I have to think that I have a legitimate comment only to find a spam comment! How many spam comments have I battled with so far? More than thirty freaking thousand and still counting!

It’s a super frustrating morning today. I don’t even have the mood to write anything good!

Dating In San Francisco

Leave a comment

For online dating to be successful, it’s best to look for people in our area. I am not saying that online dating will not work if you are living thousands of miles apart except that it is not easy to maintain a long distance relationship, what more a new and fragile one like online dates.

eRomance has a online dating site for local people who lives in San Francisco. This makes it easier for San Francisco Dating as distance will not be an issue. The chances of developing such a relationship will be greater too.

As I was browsing through the website and profiles of members, an odd thing struck me. It looks like the genders of members have been reversed. This seems to be a problem only on the home page as the profile looks fine.

And that got me thinking that perhaps that “single male” on the profile of a female member means that she is seeking a “single male” but that sounds redundant to me because I am not sure if anyone would purposely, actively seek out a “married male”.

Since online dating in San Francisco is a new section of eRomance, I am not sure if there are any success stories yet. It would be great and very encouraging if a page could be dedicated to successful dates in the near future. I surely will be looking forward to read that!

Facebook, Here I Come!!

1 Comment

If you read my earlier posts to Facebook, you would know that I have been resisting joining yet another social site. However, my mailbox has been full of email invites from friends. The reasons I have not joined till now because I am not a fan of social network portals and I don’t like to remember too make User IDs and passwords.

And I recently read that Facebook is very addictive. What’s so special in there, I don’t know.

Now, I may just sign up because I have so much free time on my hands already and I would like to give “face” to my friends. Also, I heard that there are games to play there too.

I am going to use that to promote my blogs, though I am not sure if it will work. In any case, I also read that people can make money on Facebook :) I have yet to sign up with the programme, though!

The Kona Travel Blog

2 Comments

I realize that although I have written quite a few posts on Hawaii, I have rarely touched on Kona and Kona vacation rentals. Well, in case that gave you the impression that Kona is a less popular vacation destination, then let me tell you that it is just as popular as Maui!

If you could spare a minute, you should check out the Kona Travel Blog right now for more information on Kona in particular and Hawaii in general. My friend, Gypsy, a Hawaiian, has told me many things about her people and culture, but to read all about them from the travel blog and view even more pictures give me a different perspective.

Of course, apart from getting information on Kona, you can also check out the Kauai Vacation Rentals that are available for tourists and holiday makers. In fact, you can get information on just about any vacation rentals in Hawaii!
