No More Hassle Car Shipping!

Leave a comment

I once read that in the United States, there are thousands of people relocating from one state every month. According to my sister, the United States is such a huge country that moving from a state to another, even though it may be only a neighboring state could feel like moving to an entirely new country!

People who have gone through a long distance move would understand the amount of work and red tape to go through. That’s why it is always best to seek the assistance of professional movers. I mean, you are going to move EVERYTHING and I am sure that you want to make sure that everything will be handled with care, right?

If you are moving a car, then it surely is a bigger problem but then when it comes to car shipping, why not check our CarMovers.com and obtain free car shipping quotes first so that you can make a better decision on which company to go with? Also, if you require further information on car shipping and auto transport, this is a great resource site to start your reading!

I Can’t Open My Blog On IE Anymore????

Leave a comment

This is so grand and I don’t even know when it happened or how it happened but I can’t open my own f@rking blogs on IE anymore without it popping up an error window saying that access to my web address has been aborted [Operation aborted] and then all I get is “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”. I am so going to lose traffic because of this.

I understand that when I get this problem from some blogs that I visit, it is because of the theme. However, in my case, my blogs have been accessible for such a long time now until just now.

I didn’t even install any new codes or made changes or anything at all and yet
I am getting this error! I am so pissed off. Meanwhile, I can still access my blog through FireFox so I guess I will have to sleep on this for a little while and hope that whatever is throwing this error will straighten itself out by morning.

Never have I wished harder than now that the whole world uses FireFox.

Decorating A Home

Leave a comment

This Chinese New Year, my friend will be having an open house. Well, it is high time he showed off his new house to us. This house was completed at the end of last year but so far, this friend has not opened its doors to us yet. He said that he will only show it off when he has completed his interior decoration project.

Just last week, my friend was telling me how much he spent on dining room furniture alone. What does he expect when he wants everything to be classy, right? Moreover, you should see the bedroom furniture set that he chose from an online furniture store. It’s simply awesome and matches his personality to a T.

According to my friend, he is going to wrap up his contemporary living with convertible furniture in the living room. The clean lines of the design and contemporary styles and colors would be prefect for the architecture of his home.

So far, he has described all these to me in detail but come the holidays at the end of this week, I would be able to see for myself how beautiful he has designed and decorated his house. His wife would be so lucky!

WordPress Issues

How To Remove index.php from Permalink Structure

Leave a comment

If you have read my past posts, you would know that I am building a few more blogs. Well, for the past couple of days, I have been trying to figure out how to remove index.php from my permalink structure. This blog, as you can see, has index.php in its permalinks so I will not change it but for new blogs, I prefer not to have it as it would be shorter and neater to just show my domain name, year, month and perhaps the date and then post slug.

I have found two options to do this. One is by using a WordPress plug in where we have to have access to our Custom 404 file and redirect it to our root directory. Another is to edit our .htaccess file. But I don’t know how to apply what I have found to my own files.

I host a few blogs on my server and it looks as if I have only ONE .htaccess file. I don’t want to change the permalinks of old blogs for obvious reasons but I do want to start with a friendly permalink for my new blogs.

The weird this is that although I did change my permalink structure of my new blogs, which currently still has index.php in it, I am still registering a few hundred search hits. I did a search on the search engines and found that they are still showing my old permalink. So I wonder if these blog readers could find what they were looking for.

If you know of an easy way to help me get rid of index.php from my permalink, please drop me a note. I would be so grateful!

Being Fashionable In Reading Glasses

Leave a comment

I don’t know if you noticed but it seems to me that more and more people need reading glasses now than ever before and at a younger and younger age too. I think it must be because of the over-use of computer, mobile devices and other electronic gadgets that cause us to strain our eyes.

Because of this unfortunate trend, I think it is a great idea to venture into selling of reading glasses. Yes, some people may not think this is a lucrative business but if you are buying Wholesale Reading Glasses at a low cost and selling them one by one at retail price, I am sure it all adds up.

I believe that as more and more people’s eyes age faster now, these people would want to look fashionable even when wearing readers. They don’t want to look dead in wearing the kind of readers that our grandparent’s generation had to wear. The bottom line is that now, people have a choice. They can still look stylish wearing readers if they want to.

If you are thinking of going into business, you may want to consider giving these people that choice. So first, your will have to procure your wholesale readers but remember to buying low and selling higher is just one aspect of making a profit. You will still have to provide your buyers with quality products and unmatched customer service!

Top Searched Key Phrase On Yahoo!

Leave a comment

Last night, I was on Yahoo! and I read that the top searched key phrase was “Super Bowl recipes”. It still is sitting at number one now, by the way. Wow, I never knew that! I just wrote a post on “Super Bowl recipes” like a week ago and I did not notice any particular traffic surge from people searching for this key phrase, especially not from Yahoo!

I have to admit, though, that I have not been checking my traffic statistics as diligently as I used to these past few days simply for the fact that there are too many entries to go through and I don’t have the time for that.

Now, I just look at the numbers and I go like, “Oh, WOW! Traffic!” LOL I know, pathetic but I never denied that I am no traffic whore.

By the way, the number ten key phrase on Yahoo at this point of writing is “soap making”. Why would there be so many people wanting to know how to make soap, of all things? I don’t know. Maybe it is an international school project or something.

It’s kinda funny what people search for on the internet, right?

Exploring Spain Together

Leave a comment

My friend, Lawrence, was supposed to go to Spain for business but he thought that since his children will have a week off from school, he would take the family along for a holiday, at his own expenses, of course.

Lawrence said that he only has very short notice to pull a vacation together but he is going to do everything to enable himself come family time in Spain. He checked the website Cheaper Than Hotels which would be able to help him make last minute reservations. He just has to decide on his favorite hotels in each stop he is going to take, whether they are Benidorm Hotels or Sitges Barcelona Hotels.

According to Lawrence, he selected to make hotel reservations online because it is fast and hassle-free and his rooms could be confirmed via email. He said that because he could not speak Spanish, it would be better to write Costa Del Sol Torremolinos Hotels than to pronounce it and there is no risk of getting rooms in Costa Del Sol Marbella Hotels instead.

I was shown this photo of Salamanca, Spain and I must say that it is totally breath-taking. I think that it is a great opportunity for Lawrence to explore parts of Spain with his family because Spain has so much to offer.
