Read the Hawaii Travel Blog Instead

Leave a comment

Based on the traffic that comes to my blog from people searching for key phrases that have the word “Hawaii” or its variation, I can safely say that this is a very popular vacation destination. However, this is not a travel blog, so I am not sure that I am giving them the information that they are looking for of the photos of popular Hawaii home rentals.

If you ask me, what they should do is to read a Kauai Travel Blog for all the happenings of Hawaii, the people and its culture and tradition. bookmark the blog so that they do not have to search for it on the internet each time they are looking for Oahu Vacation Info or information on any other Hawaiian island vacation.

Reading the blog will also help them to plan their trip better, just like what my friend, Doris is doing. She makes it a point to check it out every morning and I believe she will do it until she lands in Hawaii. Haha!

The Things To Do In Hawaii

Leave a comment

After writing a few posts on Hawaii, a couple of friends thought that I am an expert on Hawaiian holidays! No, I am not. I just know what was told to me and what I read on the internet from forums and blogs. One of my favorite places for Hawaiian travel news is the Kauai Travel Blog.

If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, not necessary Kauai, then check this blog out. You will be able to obtain information on Kauai vacation rentals and other Hawaiian Islands, and also get to know the culture and tradition before actually experiencing them in person.

Best of all, you can plan What to Do in Kauai firs before actually boarding your flight. This ensures that you do not waste time thinking of what to do only when you have arrived.

Some of my friends do not plan their holiday beforehand and they get disappointed with the vacation plans all the time. I think that this could be easily avoided with a little preparation. Don’t you think so?

Tit For Tat

Leave a comment

When I wrote the post, Domino Effect, little did I realise that it was only the tip of the iceberg. What pisses me off is that because bloggers are trying to save their butt, or maybe they have attained such a “high” rank now that they think that could stand tall by themselves without the little contributions that all of us did by linking up to each other, or that they have forgotten their roots and how they practically wrote in to have a link exchange, they removed their blogroll and that is going to hurt the rest of us.

So, as a tit for tat, I am going to set aside some time to visit everyone on my blogroll and delete those who removed me from their blogroll, keeping those who are still linked to me. I am going to be mean because good girls like me get nowhere anyway.

Don’t worry, it won’t hurt you, not for at least three months anyway, and by then hopefully, you all would have found new people to link to you. What I am disappointed is that I thought that we had a pack and that we are all in this together.

Blogger’s Subscribe To Comments

Leave a comment

Did you notice that Blogger now has the option for us to subscribe to comments when we leave a comment on a blog post? Well, it’s about time they added more features to Blogger.

While the option to subscribe to comments is a great addition, I think it is more important to have the ability to have reply comment email and the basic Categories. Tagging is not the same, OK? And what about scheduling posts to publish at a future date? That would be awesome for bloggers like me who will write a few posts in one sitting?

The reason I didn’t even upgrade to the new layout is that it is too rigid and you can’t place stuff where you want them to be but only within widgets.

I know that Blogger is a free platform and all but with a large team backing it, they can do better that what it is now. I actually prefer to use Blogger if only they have all the features of WordPress plug-ins minus the comment spam!

Digital Photoframe and Penholder

Leave a comment

With the advancement of technology, sometimes it is getting hard to keep track of our digital photos. For instance, speaking from experience, I take photos with my mobile device, all-in-one webcam and digital camera. Sometimes I just wish that I have a place to just pop all my various memory cards into one slot and then view them all without laboriously transferring them and then viewing on the computer.

This was how I was introduced to the digital picture frame. I think it is a great idea to to have a portable frame like this to seamless view my photos without installing special software to the computer.

While browsing through eframestore.com, I noticed this TAO digital photo frame desktop penholder. It is only $97.99 and I think it is reasonably priced and great as a gift or for personal use. Just place it on your desk, pop your memory card on the slot and start viewing the photos. With a 3.5″ TFT LCD screen, image quality will not be compromised yet small enough to not to be intrusive on the desk.

This desktop digital photo frame and penholder also comes with an analog and digital clock and alarm and a slot for one pen. It can also be connected to the PC via USB port.

Don’t Blog For 24 Hours? Don’t Kid!

Leave a comment

I received a review request for a product but the sponsor requests that I write a review, publish it on my blog and guarantee that it is the first post on the blog for 24 hours. They have to be kidding, right?

To have a post at the top for that long, I would agree if the product to be reviewed is something of more valuable. A pack of consumer products just don’t cut it.

I am surprised that there are some people who jumped at the chance for the “free gift” in exchange for a review post but then perhaps they did not read the fine print. It actually is not a matter of value of the product to be reviewed but to be told when to post and when not to post, it is really suffocating to me.

I don’t understand how people can stay away from blogging for that many hours. I blog even from my mobile hahah!
