Something useful... For blogging

This post is not so much about something that is tried and tested, it's more something that is useful.

I have been looking a blogs on the social networks I am a member of, and I am not always sure that we are all blogging correctly. Now I am no expert, so I don't even think I'm doing it correctly, however I found a good resource. Best of blogging.

It has great ideas on blogging and how to get the best from your blog, how to maximize visitors to your blog and how you can maximize your earnings. Best of all it's a free site so no sign ups, no spam mail, just very useful information. Best of blogging has great information and it's well worth a look.

Gibline or Giblink - Whatever you want to call it

I joined Giblink last year. So far I have been paid and I find it a very positive experience. It has a profit sharing scheme, and a business social network. You can chat with like minded people, blog, advertise and generally get in touch with other people and network.

I have however seen lots n lots of blogs (outside giblink blogs) being exceedingly critical of how it works etc;

I have to say it's just not true. I HAVE BEEN PAID!!! There is a long term goal to Giblink, and it possibly takes someone willing to take a chance to see it. I have seen 1000's of programs all promise the earth, moon and stars. Like selling entrance to a program for $997 dollars. When I looked into those types of programs, they were offering NOTHING, just wanting people to pay $997 for entrance to a database (well that's the impression I got).

With giblink you have options to pay but basically it works out at $600 a year and you can pay monthly, quarterly or yearly, and you will get monthly and lifetime shares as well as getting a share in the revenue. You also have access to the business social network. Not only that but you have a domain and hosting webshop, where you can buy your own e-solutions or you can sell them to others.

So before you listen to someone who is NOT a member of giblink, you are better off listening to someone who is. It's a growing site, and has everything you would expect from profit sharing to social networking.

So if you wanna know more about the revenue sharing or anything else about giblink just click any of the links throughout this blog. I never hurts to have a look.

Scratches on Hardwood floor or furniture

OK, getting rid of scratches on hard wood floors or furniture can work out to be very very expensive.

This is a tried and tested tip to make these scratches almost invisible (it will not remove them completely, that is really a french polishers job).

OIL and VINEGAR. Yup oil and vinegar. If you mix on part vinegar with one part olive oil (or any type of vegetable, sunflower oil, basically an oil you would use to cook with). Mix as well as you can and pour on the area with the scratches. Leave it to soak in for 12-24 hours and then rub off with a dry cloth.

The oil softens the scratches and the vinegar removes any dirt that makes the scratches visible. If it's a clean scratch, just use the oil, the vinegar helps better when and item needs a bit of a clean too. Works a treat on antique furniture that you may want to sell but have the additional costs of geting re-furbished.

Hope this is useful to you.

Babel Fish

As the internet has really made the world a whole lot smaller, languages is one of the biggest stumbling blocks that you can come across.

If you are looking to translate pieces of text or words one of the best resources is Babel Fish (just type it into any search engine and you'll get it).

Now I am a native English speaker, but I live in The Netherlands. I can understand nearly everything, however there are stumbling blocks for writing etc; I have found babel fish very useful. Now don't get me wrong, it's by no means perfect, the grammar can sometimes be questionable, but you will get your point across.

So if your looking for a quick free online translator than babel fish is the one for you.

Hub Pages

With all the competing ways of getting your google adsense out there, there is a great service that will accept your adsense account. The best thing about them is, is that the search engines are VERY quick to pick up on your articles.

You need www.hubpages.com. Not only can you publish your own articles, but you can get some very interesing information, and you can request information form others. As you all know, the golden rule for Adsense is "Content is King". Hub pages helps you achieve this. You can publish all your articles and once they are not filled with spam and promotion of one particular program etc; they will stay published.

So if you do have an adsense account, and you can write informative and interesting articles (they really do need to be original) you can easily join hubpages and get your information read.

Hubpages is free to join, and you can have several income sources (adsense, ebay and amazon. So just check it out and join

Free Web Hosting

With all the hosting packages that are out there and all the extras they offer you if you're not tech minded (just like myself) it can get extremely confusing, and it's easy to get bogged down.

I have found a BRILLIANT free hosting company, they have everything that you need whether you have your own domain name or whether you want to use their sub-domain. You have sql, php, file management, e-mail etc; Basically everything you would expect from a host and all for free.

Even though you can get your own domain name, you can easily use thier sub domains. And it's not an intrusive sub-domain, so you get http://yourdomain.890m.com. How unobtrusive is that? They have great support and the control panel is very simple to understand and use. They even advise you as to the best FTP software to use (if you don't know what FTP is, it's basically a way to transfer your files to your hosting account).

The only thing that you may find a drawback is that if you want free hosting for many sites, you can only set up one every 24 hours, but that's a small price to pay for something you are getting for free.

The link you require if you would like more information (and don't forget it's FREE even to open an account) is http://www.000webhost.com

It's truly worth your while visiting!
