Webhosting Options For Blogging

My 12 year old niece is pestering me to help her get her own blog up and running. She is always checking this blog when she has time on her laptop and really likes the idea of having a blog, so I’ve been spending a little bit of time here and there with her on this issue.  We have both been reading up on the web hosting sites that are available out there for folks like us. We don’t need anything fancy or frilly, but when it comes to webhosting it pays to do your homework a bit before diving in.

One article that we both read was regarding the Top Five Affordable Registrars, I was glad to see that Go Daddy and Yahoo were on their list as those are the two that I tend to lean towards to. Both are affordable, well known, well established and dependable, which are all good points to go on. I really had no idea that there were so many out there these days, things have gotten a bit more complicated than I remember, but we are still researching and will come to a decision by the end of next week. Then I’ll be busy teaching her all the ins and outs of blogging, sigh……..

A Ford Man

There is something about a New Ford that just excites me, my father was always a Ford man, he was proud to announce to anyone who would care to listen that he had only bought Ford vehicles all his life and I have followed in his footsteps as far as I’m concerned. The Ford Dealership and Maintenance Shop in town knows the family very well, we have been receiving Christmas Cards from them for as long as I can remember and am on a first name basis with the majority of employees that have worked there through out the years.

You can keep your Chevy thank you very much. I’ll just keep on buying and driving Fords and make my father proud of me while he watches me from up above, along side of my dear mother who didn’t care kind of vehicle it was as long as it got her to the grocery store and back as well as to church every Wednesday evening and Sunday morning.

Speeding It Up

I love the feeling when you get a new computer.  I remember when I got my HP. It was top of the line and it flew. I was loading files and flying through the internet even though I had a slow connect. As time went by it began running slower and slower to the point that I didn’t even want to use the computer anymore.  Then I was up late one night, ready to take a sledge hammer to my computer because it had frozen up yet again! The computer was thankfully saved because at that moment I saw an ad on TV that said “Help me speed up my pc”.  My computer limped to the site. Needless to say I’m sitting here writing this and it didn’t take me an hour to do it.  It is completely amazing!!!!

Online Relationships

We have all heard the horror stories by people, or about people that have found someone on the Internet, and things went sour. To be honest, meeting some one anywhere can be disastrous and can lead to problems, and more people are turning to the Internet for companionship and possible love interests.

My sister has been after me, for some time, to sign up at some of the singles sites, she seems to think that I need a wife to help with the running of the farm and the house, and is always emailing me with information regarding online chat rooms and dating sites.

I’ve spent the last few evenings checking out some of the sites that she has been talking about, so far I like what I read at Great Expectations, which offers a safe and secure online dating community with over 30 years in the making, that in it’s self says something about their company. Right now I’m still a bit gun shy, but it’s nice to know that there are some dating sites that might interesting to check out when the time comes.

Workforce Management Software

The task of Employee Time Tracking has now become much easier and can now become paperless, thus saving money, by going online and checking out Iemployee.com. You will see that Iemployee is a Human Resource dream come true, a self service HR management solution, a software that will make the use of a pencil obsolete.

The tracking of employee’s attendance and hours can be a challenge and take valuable time, so it only makes sense to take advantage of this type of program. Workforce management is a full time job, so the less paper work involved, the better for all concerned. Making this task easier and faster, can free up valuable time that can certainly be better spent else where.

I have never worked in and HR environment, but I have a good friend that works in a fairly large HR Department of a major retail chain, and she can tell some stories, that one can. She really has her hands full with all that is involved with all the duties in her HR “job description” I can only hope that they use some type of software program, such as this. I haven’t talked with her in quite some time, this may be a good time to check in with the ol’ gal.

Luck

I can’t begin to believe my luck.  I found a 48 inch flat screen TV for $40 at an online yard sale site that I look at now and then.  Now I just need to find a flat panel stand that I like at a good price too.  What I really want is a custom one that I can match to my needs, my taste as well as my budget.

Custom Homes

Although the economy has slowed new home building down to a mere crawl, they are still coming out with wonderful and intriguing new floor plans and new homes that are breathtaking to take a look at. When I look around the house here and see all the work that needs to be done to update so many things in the place and how much time and money that it will require, it can be a bit overwhelming and it is nice to dream of owning a brand new home that was custom build with my specific likes, needs, comfort and requirements, if that time would ever come to where I could be able to do so.

Tanning Beds

Having a nice tan is the least of my concerns, I spend so much time outside tending to the farm and the animals, I found that I have darkened a few shades since I took over the place just the last couple of years. Although I have to admit that from the waist down I am pretty darn pale, wickedly so. Guess I’ll have to start wearing some shorts at times come next summer in an effort to even up some, but I’ll always have white feet, you’ll not see me any whereon this property with out good shoes or boots on. Too many things that could hurt a person’s foot in this type of environment.

I don’t know if there is a tanning bed salon in any of the towns that are anywhere close by here, I may just have to stick my feet out in the sun for a bit each day or just deal with it.

Shooting The Breeze

Spent the afternoon talking computers with my brother-in-law, the family computer geek. Although most of what he talks about I really don’t have a clue on, but I usually walk away learning something. Today it was about secure data backup, not something that I really have to worry about but it was interesting non the less.

It felt good not having to ask him over to take care of any of my computer/Internet issues, it was just to basically hang up and catch up, since I haven’t really seen him since the 4th of July. We had a few cold beers, ate some chow and spent a few hours on the front porch enjoying a nice day that only got into the mid 80’s. A nice change from this extremely hot and humid summer that we have had to deal with. As much as I hate the winter I’m almost ready for the cold weather, this heat has been sucking the life out of me.
