Choose right hosting

2012-01-18T13:44:00.000-08:00

When we bye something we exept the best and generally people say that "you get what you pay" and that inexpensive web hosting providers don't provide you with high server uptime, quality features. In now days the industry is becoming more and more competitive and this thought is not as accurate anymore. When now are so much industries that can give you the same services naturally it cames in our mind: why pay more for the same service? There are plenty of inexpensive website hostingproviders that take exellent care of their customers with no limits on disck space, superior customer service, free domain name. But we have to kepp in mind that not every low cost hosting providers is reliable. We have to be very carefull!!!
99% of inexpensive web hosting review and comparison sites are fake. The owners of these web hosting sites earn commission through their affiliate or reseller links. Cheap domain hosting providers with the highest affiliate or reseller payouts are placed in top of lists created by these review or comparison sites.
These review and comparison sites will never tell you who is their own web host!
not always cheapest web hosting company is the best choice if you want to save.
Be careful with about the cheap hostings which you can find in search engines. You must be absolutely sure that it is a real hosting company, which will help you to create an excellent web site of your own.

Blogger releaases an iPhone App

2011-09-24T12:08:00.000-07:00

Google has finally launched an iOS app for Blogger. In doing so Google gives the opportunity to millions of users a simple way to write, manage and publish posts from their iPhones.

In now days almost every one has an iPhone, and almost every one of us cant stay the all day in their home. So this is a great opportunity for us.

The app, available for iOS users 3.2 and up, is rather straightforward. It allows users to compose and pblish blog posts complete with phoos and geotagging. It also lets the users to view and edit their publised and draft blog posts.

While the app works for the iPad, it only works in compatibility mode. We hope that they release an iPad app near future.

It seems like blogging service is overshadowed by WordPress and more lightweight competition. Google recently started investing in an overhaul of the service in an attempt to make Blogger relevant once again.

A new look for Blogger by Google.

2011-09-24T11:44:00.001-07:00

A new look for Blogger by Google.

Google is presenting us 5 new ways to view blog posts on Blogger, in an attempt to make Blogger more intersting for us and was the time to change the old typical way people consume content on the web to a new one.

You can discover new viewing options if you type "view" at the end of a blog's URL. The new look alter the entire experience of reading a blog, and this is not like traditional blog skins.

This changes are made only about modernizing the UI and really revolutionazing the blog consumptions experiences. Blogs should be utilizing the full power of the modern web, especially HTML5, AJAX and CSS3 technology that has made website more dynamic in the recent years.

Below you will see the five Views that harness the power of new web standards:

1- Flipcard: This visual view places square photos side by side in neat little rows. When you get your mouse to the photo you can see the name of the post, the date it was published and the number of comments it has.

2- Mosaic: This options takes the photo related to each blog post and turns them into a visual experience, a mosaic of photography.

3- Snapshot: This turns blog photos into a Polaroid-esque scrapbook with the number of comments and the tittle of the blog.

4- Sidebar: Create a leht hand menu bar with all of the blog's article as well as their comment counts. Clicking on a tittle opend the article to the right.

5- Timeslide: This is a three column layout that displays recent posts.

While Blogger is still one of the world’s largest blog networks, WordPress garner far more attention and have been more active launching new features and with new innovations. Google hasn’t made Blogger a priority in years, but the service is getting a major overhaul in 2011. These views are the first of many new features the company hopes will make Blogger the center of the blogging universe once again.

50 milion sites powers......?

2011-09-01T11:54:00.000-07:00

And the correct answer is WordPress. It is officialy now, the open source blogging platform
WordPress has reached an important milestone: It powers
more than 50 milions website, half of wich are hosted on WordPress.com.
Isn't this fantastic for WordPress.

The results of the statistics that are made about this website
certify that more than 287 milion people view more than
2.5 billion pages on WordPress.com each month, and on an avarage day,
WordPress.com users create about 500,000 new posts and 400,000
new comments. This number are not just words, this are the
WordPress'official stats.

However we have to admit that WordPress competitor Tumblr surpassed 20
million blogs, passing WordPress.com in terms of the
number of blogs hosted on the platform.

But there is an advantage about WordPress that Tumblr dont have.
WordPress lets users install and use the platform on their own web host.
Due to this simplicity of the platform WordPress can also be used
for runing various types of personal, business and comunity websites.

So dont hazitate work with WordPress.

Blogging

2011-07-02T07:43:00.000-07:00

Blogging has grown very, very quickly. More that can anyone imagined. Now there are nearly 163 milion blogs over all the world with more than 69 thousand blogs every 24 hours. But blogging is a big industry that can give you more pleasure but also concerns. The more this industry is expanding you have to secure yourself because this expansion bring serios revenue.
Some of the new blogger ignore the legal aspects, so if you are a fresh blogger here are some thing that you have to keep in mind. In December 2009, the FTC revised their guidelines to bring social media and internet advertisers into the ix. But in doing this create a concern that is difficult to recognize an 'advertisment' in social media. So every blogger needs to be aware of the guidelines and take some simple steps to minimize their liability
1. Disclosure…
Bloggers need to open any material relationship with an advertiser or band. This relationship can involve anything from recieveing cash, free product in exchange for a product review or blog post. So disclose is good practise that maintains a level of trust between the blogger and the audience.
2. What consumers want???
Bloggers are more intersted to share things that can be appriciated by the others. So theres no interest for them to right about something that dosent show interest for others. In the end we want to do things that can bring up the curiozity of the others. If you fail in this you can resul in substantial fines.
3. Incorporate
The principal benefit of incorporating your blog is the separation of your personal and bussines finances, thus minimizing your personal liability.

How to add Google Fonts to Blogger blog

2011-06-28T03:54:00.000-07:00

Fonts are a important part of your blog design, so Im going to show you how simple is to add a new font on your site.

First go and find a font:
http://www.google.com/webfonts

After you got the font which will look something like this:

Now, go to your blog dashboard and click > Design > Edit HTML and paste font code after <head>

Now, its most important step, the code you got need to be edited, because like it is, you can't save template.

You have to place ; after v1 and / before >

So the font code above will look like this:

Now you can save your template, but its not finished yet, you should add the font in your CSS, for example if you like to use this font for the header, find this on your CSS

#header h1 {

and replace the font with this one 'Nixie One'

Do the same if you like to edit the post title

.post h3 {

or the sidebar titles

h2 {

Hope now its simple for you to edit your fonts styles.

The fashion production is changing

2011-06-27T11:53:00.000-07:00

We girls are addicted to fashion. We love to do shooping, to bye things every time. In other hands we love to recieve gifts from others that are especially clothes. The stylest and fashion editors have the biggest say in this field.

But know The fashion production is changing thanks to a more social web culture and better tools to facilitate online voting and even customization.

So in online fashion we can decide wich is better for our tase or wich is worse. In this case the sylists dont have to put out their design and confirm that people or better say girls didn't like it but they can put their clothes and designes online so we can give our opinion about that.

The result is both a more engaged shopper and less wast as manufactures and retailers are better able to estimate demand before garments are produced.

Is it better with partner?

2011-06-27T11:51:00.000-07:00

Let's try to analyze the question. I think we all know that we can get much more incomes when we are alone. The decision that we make ourselfes are better because we cant argue about something that can take us a little time. Do you agree with this statement?
I guess you are not. Only clever people that colaborete with others are very efficent and their business is going very well. I think with another opinion or with other people help we can get out of a difficult situations. Most of us were raised to be competitive, beginning at a young age in school and sports, and then right on through to the business world.
However, at least in business we’re seeing a shift toward companies that play well with others. We can go far without the help of the others. So i will suggest to you 5 steps that gives benefits to your collaboration.

1. Networking: Bussines are everytime in guard to help othe small bussines with every different problem. So you can make aliance with commplementary bussines like yours. Just remember that whatever you get out you will get back some day in return.
2. Inspiration and Suport: Sometimes we get our inspiration from the others, it is amazing how we can get strength and motivation from others. So i suggest you to become part of online forums and online groups where you can discus busines stuff.
3. Symbiotic Selling: I recomend to you to join to your business small business too that can also sell your product. In this way you networ of costumer will be wider and wider than ever.
4. Shared Ownership: Assets sharing can allow a business to lower its costs. So a storefront or office space is a good example to lower the costs of your business and risks.
5. Economies of Scale: Small business can form alliances with others that have similar needs to achive discount and to maintain servises.

Consolidate Debt through Debt Consolidation Loans

2011-06-25T13:29:00.000-07:00

With the credit card companies finding it more and more difficult to maintain that customers remain current with their debt, they've begin to offer debt consolidation loans through the use of credit counseling services. Through the use of a credit counseling service, consumers include multiple debts into one affordable payment. Through this payment, the creditors will be satisfied on a month to month basis. Unlike a debt consolidation loan that requires positive equity in a home, credit counseling services redirect the money on a month to month basis but through a recognized nonprofit.

When a consumer goes through credit card debt consolidation, that consumers credit score will not be hurt in a negative way. These programs are offered to consumers whom are finding it difficult to make minimum payments, or feel as if the minimum payments they are making are not being applied toward the actual balance due to high interest. When going through the credit counseling services, consumers will find that a majority of the newly structured minimum payment will go toward the actual balance and not towards interest rates and other fees.

These programs were designed to assist consumers who wanted to maintain their credit status. There is no limit as to how many creditors one can include when they wish to consolidate debt. These programs can help with all unsecured debts; such as credit cards and collection accounts. When considering ways to get out of debt, the debt consolidation program is by far the best solution to consider when wanting to become debt free.

Unsecured credit card debt- how to eliminate it

2011-06-17T06:22:00.000-07:00

For those in some serious financial trouble, unsecured credit card debt is a huge burden and they need a way to eliminate this debt as quickly as possible. In the last few years due to the economic downturn, a number of people have fallen into debts or bad credit. There are a number of ways in which one can get rid of unsecured credit card debt.

Depending on who the credit card company is, one can consolidate debt for much lesser than what they owe. A number of credit card companies offer a reduced settlement for the customers. In this way, they ensure that they get some of their money back. Some companies are willing to wipe off almost 70 per cent of these debts. Once there is an agreement about the settlement amount, it shows on the credit record but does not adversely affect the borrowing capabilities of an individual. However, not all companies offer such an agreement.

Another option is to contact a debt management company. A debt management company will get in touch with all the lenders on behalf of an individual. This reduces the interest charged on the credit card or stops them completely. One normally needs to pay a nominal monthly fee for such a service. There is no interest or late fees charged for up to 12 months as long as the new repayments are paid timely and in full.

There are also a number of specialized lending companies who only deal with borrowers who have bad or adverse credit. Applying for a debt consolidation loan is one of the best things to do in such a situation. The unsecured credit card debt can then easily be eliminated by having all the debts with only one lender. This means one only needs to worry about a single payment rather than several installments every month.

Credit card debt reduction- Is It Possible?

2011-06-17T06:18:00.000-07:00

With the financial crisis in getting serious in the world, you can find that there are plenty of people who experience problems regarding the repayment of loans. Therefore, you would find that they would need to seek the credit card debt reduction services provided by some companies in order to get rid of the potential danger of filing a bankruptcy.

However, only some of the strategies for credit card debt consolidation or reduction are found to be really useful indeed. Therefore, you should try to learn the really useful ones so that you can have a fruitful work indeed.

First of all, consolidation to rescue is something welcomed by people indeed. You would find that the burden of debt would become heavy if you cannot pay the money back regularly for the credit card company. Many people would need to go bankruptcy without the proper help for credit card debt reduction.

Consolidation is an idea about gathering all the existing balances of the client's accounts. This gathering action can help to integrate all the monetary figures into one account and this is something that people find it useful. Usually, the monthly payment after the integration of accounts would decrease. It is because the interest rate would be reduced after negotiation with some of the creditors.

Individuals usually would find it quite difficult for them to manage the consolidation work. Instead, you would find that the work of credit card debt reduction would be mainly handled by the large companies. These companies would try to make sure that the payment of you would be due regularly. This can then help you to reduce the loan principal step by step.

Usually, the debt collecting process would be stopped. When you incur into a large amount of credit card debt, the creditors would try to hire some companies to make you pay for them. This might sometimes include annoying actions, like the action of calling you all the time. These actions can harm your normal daily life and this is one of the reasons why those people would want to seek help from the credit card debt reduction services. Yes, they do not want to be annoyed anymore so they would prefer to start getting the services from credit card debt reduction to end all the stuff.

Generally, you should find that the company would not charge you a large sum of fees. Some of the companies might ask you to pay for fees like the administration fees. But these fees cannot be collected unless the company successfully help you to make the consolidation work.

You are always reminded to check the latest government regulation so that you will be able to understand the potential traps in the plans offered by some companies. Searching online can help you to find information more accurately because you may need to read information from the previous customers of some companies. Therefore, you should not think that the time for research is a wasteful act. These acts actually can help you to save a lot of money later.

Photo on Facebook?

2011-06-15T13:22:00.000-07:00

Facebook is developing a Photo-sharing app…
It is a fact that, almost, everyone on this planet have a facebook account. Well this this social network we are connected to everybody that we know. Thanks to this social site we make new friends and find old friends that we didn’t hear about them for a long time ago.

The addiction that some people have for facebook is very unhealthy, but remains the fact that we couldn’t saty on internet without checking our facebook. When we get through the internet it is our curiosity that push us to know: have any of our friends post something on our wall? or do they like our photos?; did they tag us in any of their albums? and so many question and actons that we can do in facebook.
Facebook it is a very nice form of intertaining us. There are so many thing we can do in facebook. For example we can chat with our friend, play with them, or play with the games that for a period we were addicted to them.

People from their nature are very interesting to know where the other friend have been, or where did they spend their holiday. This information are well acompained from different photo. And now that we are at these section I am glad to announce that facebook is reportedly developing a photo-sharing app on top of its social graph.

Tech blog reported Wednesday that it had obtained 50MB of images and documents that outline the app. This move is very logical because Facebook own an extrapolation of its photo upload data and it is the largest photo collection on the web. There are so many photo on facebook, too much.
But this information is not confirmed, because thay say these are rumors and speculation. Well we hope this is the truth.
