Family Time

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

Easter dinner was delicious, of course, and it was especially nice because we were able to spend time with my cousin and her family from Southern Maryland. This is a long way for them to drive and we weren’t sure they would come this far for dinner, so I was glad to see them walk in the door around 1:00 pm.

While the women fussed in the kitchen, some of us guys got around to talking about computers and the internet. I was talking to my cousin’s husband about creating a family blog so we could all keep better informed. He was very interested in learning about getting a family domain name and signing up for website hosting to get the blog started.

A good source of information for beginners is on a site that reviews, compares and rates hosting companies. I looked at their Top 10 list and was surprised to find that I am familiar with each of the names listed. I even have my blog hosted on one of the companies they reviewed, and I will agree with everything they said on their site.

I like to read blog articles on sites that I visit if they have a blog. Sometimes you get more personal information and opinions that way. They recently added an article about blog templates that even I did not already know the information in the article, and I’ve been working on my blog for over 3 years now. Just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Finding the Best

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

So many people are using the internet now and the trend is that more and more people will continue to take advantage of it. One thing that is overlooked on the internet is the importance of web hosting. Whenever you develop a site, having the correct people setting up your site is a key to having a site that looks professional. The problem is that there are so many choices that it can be hard to decide which the best is.

The first thing that most people want is reliability. There is no sense in supporting some thing if it doesn’t work all the time. That’s why it’s important to compare the different services that are out there. Cost is another factor. Getting a good rate for your hosting services can mean all the difference. You want to find the Best Blog Hosting you can in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

Another factor that has been on everyone’s mind lately is the environment. Many people don’t know that this is a concern for bloggers too. The good news is that there are Green Web Hosting services available. They use alternate energy forms to power their services and thereby help keep the planet greener. This is important to me as I want to leave the earth better than I found it.

Keeping Busy

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

One thing that really made the internet was the ability for people to play games. There are so many to choose from and there are many that are free and fun. I like that a lot and so does my son and daughter. One game that my son really likes to play is called boxhead 2. He can usually be found playing the game with his friends in his room. They love the game and play it all the time.

I must admit that my son does branch out from time to time and he and his friends can be found playing a game called age of war. They all like that game as well and spend many hours playing it. It can be hard for me to get him to do his homework, but as long as he keeps his grades up I don’t mind. My daughter spends time on the internet herself and I’ll tell you about that.

One thing my daughter is interested in is making money. She babysits whenever she can so she can have money to spend on the clothes she wants. Another thing she does is called blogging for money. She makes a few extra bucks each week doing that. I ma not sure what it is exactly, but she likes to do it and I think that’s great. I’m just glad my kids keep busy doing things they like to do!

Hard Times

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

Recently, times have been hard economically. Everyone has been struggling to make a dollar and it seems that it’s getting harder every day. That’s why I have been looking for ways to improve my income level. I don’t really have time for another job and so I was looking for something part time. It also would be really nice if I could work from home on my computer.

Anyway, I was talking with a friend of mine about ways I could accomplish my goal. That’s when he told me about rich jerk. I thought he was full of it and so I just brushed off the idea and forgot about it. It wasn’t too much later when I heard the name rich jerk again and I must admit that my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to check out the site.

It turns out that the site is all about making money online. This was just what I was looking for and so I watched a video about how it’s done. I wanted to start right away as I wanted to be a rich jerk too. I know that the money will soon be rolling in and I will have accomplished my goal of adding extra income to my life. I hope everyone else checks out this site as well.
