Best Priced Las Vegas Hotels

2 Comments

I read on one of my friends’ blog that he is addicted to Las Vegas. Hehe I shall not disclose who because this is such a small world. However, I will just say that this guy writes about gambling A LOT. It is just that he did not disclose WHERE.

I asked him about his trips to Vegas and he says that although he could always cover his expenses with his winnings at the casino, he will feel guilty about paying more than he should for accommodation. He said that he could always get best priced Las Vegas Hotels from websites like Best of Vegas and see no point not to take advantage of something that is beneficial to him.

I checked out Best of Vegas just a minute ago and noted that they are able to provide the traveler with some of the best Vegas deals. If you are heading that way, you really should do the same and save a little money here and there!

WP Blogs Upgraded To Version 2.5

Leave a comment

I’m a little crazy. I spent Sunday afternoon upgrading all ten of my WordPress powered blogs to the latest, spanking new version of WordPress. Of course, visually, it is more appealing, I never liked the deep blue but from what I understand, we could change the colour of our dashboard. I remember that we used to have orange for our group blog.

Although I can’t claim to have used all the new features, what I like about WordPress 2.5 is the edit mode where the edit page is still open as we edit. Oh yes, nothing that I love is the one-click upgrade of plug-ins. Boy, I was click happy for a little while there upgrading all my plug-ins!

What I do not like, and was surprised that after six months of development, that nobody found it not likable is that our category column is at the bottom of our compose box. Side is the best for people like me who want to publish as fast as possible and not waste time scrolling down for the category box AND scrolling down again inside for the relevant category.

Also, in EDIT mode, the SAVE and DELETE buttons are just next to each other. I could just imagine someone who deleted his post whilst trying to edit it. Other than these, I can’t think of other things that I like or dislike. HHmmm will update later.

I bet before the week is over, there will be a new security patch released LOL

April Fool’s Day

Leave a comment

The day is coming to an end. Being April Fool’s Day, did you get fooled? There has been much misinformation on the web today and many people have gotten fooled. Sometimes, it is funny but if you were the one who got fooled, you would not think that it is as funny as if you were the one who pulled the prank.

I shall not be compiling all the April Fool’s Day stories that were published online today and fooled some people just because the scenarios were plausible or because the people who said them are authorities in their field.

Nah… I was not fooled at all. I guess that is because I am aware that today’s April Fool’s Day and also the fact that I did not go around busybody-ing in blogs, forums and websites LOL

Where To Buy Discount Disney World Tickets?

Leave a comment

My sister asked me this question the other day. As if I know? She is the one going in and out of Disney World in Orlando, Florida! Not me. But I remember reading about Orlando Fun Tickets, a website that offers Discount Walt Disney World Tickets to holiday makers to Orlando, Florida.

Not only do they offer discounted tickets to Disney World, they also have cheaper tickets for many theme parks and places of interest in Orlando, Florida. If you are going for a holiday alone, then you may think that the discount is not much but if you re going with a group of friends or with family, then the savings is a big welcome, believe me!

I told my sister about Orlando Fun Tickets and the kind of tickets that she could get. Can you imagine that going through Orlando Fun Tickets, you can even get them cheaper than getting them directly from the gate?

Free Keyword Extractor For WordPress Powered Blogs

Leave a comment

A couple of days ago, I was searching the internet on how to add meta tags to my blog and to each post. I found a couple of WordPress plug-ins that was supposed to do the trick but I left them unused because I do not know how they work and I did not see any changes at all. The reason I wanted to add meta tags is because I read that with this optimized, I could drive more traffic to m blog because the search engine bots would be able to crawl my blogs better. As you know, traffic is very important to a blogger, especially to a blogger who is trying to monetize her blogs.

Coincidentally, I was told of this free auto keywords extraction from Wordsfinder.com that is said to be able to automatically extract our text and generate keywords relevant to our content. I checked out the demonstration on the website of Wordsfinder.com and it looks like a pretty easy tool to use. I mean, just type in your text and then just click on the GENERATE button and it will call up the number of keywords suggestions that you have set. Five is an optimum number.

I have already downloaded the Wordsfinder WordPress plugin and gotten my API key. Like I mentioned, it is free to use but only for personal blogs and up to ten queries a day. I will begin using Wordsfinder from now onwards and hopefully there is a spike in traffic. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

MacBook Air

Leave a comment

Did you already read about the new MacBook Air? I watched its new video and I must say I am very impressed with its revolutionary design and features. See, I have so much free time on my hands that I even could spare the few minutes to watch a video of a product that I have no intention to purchase.

Although I have to admit that from US$1799, the MacBook Air is not that expensive considering its weight and size, to think that I will splurge that much on a laptop is crazy. Well, if I do that, I must be crazy already!

You know, I was not impressed with Mac products previously and had no interest in them until I laid hands on the Apple iPhone. I can say a thousand times that I wish that it supports 3G but I would not trade it for any other device, unless it’s a 3G iPhone hehe!

Managing Fifteen Blogs

Leave a comment

My friend was surprised to learn that I have fifteen blogs. How can one juggle that many blogs when there are only so many hours in the day! What surprised her even more is that I am a known procrastinator! I admit some time back, I was unable to manage my time properly and ended up feeling overly stressed when it should be something enjoyable to do.

Well, I have better time management right now and juggling fifteen blogs is almost “nothing”. Did you read an old post of mine on rotating my blogs to update by using an exercise book? That’s right. Sometimes it’s better to go back to basics!

Time management is a whole lot easier to stick to if you have set career goals to achieve. I was advised by my friend to set a mid-term goal that is not too difficult to reach. If it’s an impossible goal, I would feel demoralized. Therefore, even for personal goal setting, we have to be realistic. With that as the main focus, we would be able to make full use of our time in the best possible way.
