A Homemaker’s Diary

Last few weeks I’ve been asked by 2 friends about web hosting services that are reliable for them to use. Since I only have experiences with one local and one overseas web hosting company, I just told them what I know.

What is important apart from the price that you have to pay monthly or yearly, for me it is the up time and reliability. I wouldn’t want my website to be down most of the time since the web hosting company is having problem and trying to fix it every now and then, especially if it is a business website. The site of webhostinggeeks.com provides reviews from real users, whether the budget hosting is doing good job or they suck big time..heh!

Of course if you are planning to pay for web hosting services, you need to know what do you plan to host there, whether it’s a blog, a forum, or a business website. You have to know roughly how much space you need and foresee the number of traffic that will visit your site. If you are still not sure where your Internet presence leads to, check out the articles they have at the site. It might take some times to digest all the jargon and technical terms, but you can’t expect your web master and the tech support to do everything for you, right!

I feel like doing some revamp on my wordpress themes for most of my blogs but I think I have to wait for Hubby to do it for me..heh! Especially with all the banner and paid links, it would be a hassle when I get stuck with the coding.

Anyway, while browsing, I found this site that offers many great themes for WordPress powered blogs.

If you are one of those people who like to change your blog theme every now and then, go and download quality and professionally designed WordPress templates for free at TopWPThemes.com

I kind of like this Fractalrainbow theme since it is made of 2 columns and have right side bar, same like my theme now. If I were to start a shopaholic blog, I might go for theme like Shopping Manual.

Nay, with this pregnant belly, I’m not in the mood of shopping at all, not even online..heh!Perhaps later once the baby pops out, I will share my enthusiasm in buying baby stuffs and come out with a new blog. For sure I will go dig out the themes suitable at the site..heh!

If you are new in using WordPress powered blogs, don’t despair. They have a page on easy installation guide. Just go, read and figure it out yourself..(easy for me to say..haha!)

I’ve heard about SocialSpark like ages ago. I even signed up my profile and submitted most of my blogs but got rejected..huhu! Well, between all day ‘morning” sickness and trying to type coherent length of words for money in exchange, I rather succumb to my all day sleeping and puking then.

Now I am back considering why is the rejection in the first place. What bugging me is what is sponsorship opps and what is the real opps? Do we write the post first and see whether the advertiser chooses our post then we will get paid or is it just like PayPerPost where you click to reserve and then write?

I am tempted to try the opps but what to do since all my blogs were rejected earlier..huhu! Maybe I just can’t compete with bloggers like KimberlyE who owns like 9 blogs, one of them is a cooking blog..heh!

I still couldn’t find the email of rejection, but if I am not mistaken it said something about my blogs being written mainly for sponsored post..duhhh! Nevertheless check out the opps choice they have over at SocialSpark, things like dieting, parenting, losing weight, you know all kind of easy stuffs that you can ramble intelligently..huhu! I don’t care if it’s mere $5, try accumulating that in a month you will be happier at the ATM machine later.

Oh, don’t bother if your pagerank is zero, they have their own means of calculation, to see how well your blog ranks among the others. But first sign up and see whether your blog will be accepted. Should I try to negotiate with them and beg that at least one of my blogs be accepted..heh! Still contemplating..

This year it’s been a quiet year in terms of blogging for money for me, but looking back at how much I’ve earned since February 2007, I think I deserve to pat myself at the back..heh!

This is the amount that I’ve got from PayPerPost alone. I think from another few platforms I’ve earned around USD1k++ as well.

So for those out there who have blogs and would like to earn money from blogging, do check out opportunity available from company like PayPerPost. At least it could pay for your domain name renewal and hosting..heh!

You see the blue badge on the right side of my blog, it will bring you one step closer to blog about the things you love and get paid by doing that.

Time flies..and now it’s almost April, or (not to exagerate too much) almost half the month of March..heh!

For those celebrating Christmas, it’s about time you dig the Easter eggs! Still thinking on what to get for that sister of yours, maybe this Spa Finder coupon will cheer her up.

Who said being a homemaker is an easy job? With no pension, annual leave and paid medical leave, a massage and facial will do her good.

With coupon codes from CouponChief you will never be out of ideas on what to get for your loved ones. Every now and then, new deals are available and all you have to do is click and browse. Maybe your sister in law will appreciate this Botanic Choice deal. Their GrayStop capsules could be the answer to delay the progression of hair loss and graying (talking about cheating the time of aging here..huh!)

For the kids? Go and check it out on your own, I have to go chase the bunny away from my kitchen…shooh shooh!
