There can be many reason why someone may require a car rental service, ranging from interstate business trips, holidays to just making do while you car is having some major repair work done. Now while there may be be some good deals to be found with a bit of Googling, why go through all the effort of sifting through the porno and other unrelated sites when all you have to do is log onto Advantage Rent A Car to see what special deals they have for your State.

Personally, if I am to rent a car I always go for one that I can’t afford and so wouldn’t normally get a chance to drive. I reckon I am not the only one who feels like this which is probably why these guys are offering up to a 50% on Luxury and Convertible car rentals. Gee, I may even rent a Hummer and feel like King Of the Road!

Yep, I’ve just received another email joke and although I realize it’s probably all over the net already I reckon that there will still be a lot of people out there who like me have never seen it before. If you are one of those I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train set in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son saying, ‘All of You B*****ds who want off, get the f**k off now, cause we’re in a hurry! And all of you B*****ds who are getting on, get the f**k on, cause we’re going down the tracks’.

The horrified mother went in and told her son, ‘We don’t Use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS! When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want You to Use nice language.’

Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed    Playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, ‘All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for travelling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one.’

As the mother began to smile, the child added, “For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat b*tch in the kitchen.”

Fortunately this does not seem to be such an issue today as there now exists many firms that will cater to this very important market, so that now women can feel good about how they look right through their pregnancy.

I found Yet Another Threaded Comment or YATCP but that wouldn’t work either. AJAXed had one included in their pretty comprehinsive package but unfortunately once again it would not work with this theme.

Finally I found the one that worked and it happened to be one that I used before called Brian’s Threaded Comments but there was an issue in that it did not work in well with the dark background of my theme. As I know stuff all about .php I thought it best to ask for assistance but unfortunately I couldn’t find anything so I gave it a wild bash. One thing to remember when playing with any files is to always make a backup in case you screw something up. As it was I managed to get it working.

The only other problem I had was when I happened to check the blog out using Internet Explorer (IE) as I normally use FireFox, and I noticed everything wasn’t displaying well at all. This was a disaster as so many people still use IE and meant picking another theme unless I could resolve the problem. Fortunately the helpful members at Aussie Bloggers Forum were able to help me out and so I can now keep this them.

I reckon that the one thing that is holding them back is the confusion from not knowing what hosting company to choose. This is not surprising when you consider how many webhosting companies are out there trying to get their business. Perhaps if there were to visit The Web Hosting Geeks who have listed the ‘Top 10 Web Hosting - Best Web Hosts for 2008, it would help to convince them to take the self hosted blogging plunge.

In todays business market the bottom line is the most important thing and because of rising costs it is getting harder and harder to achieve an efficient bottom line. One has to consider that any costs saved is worthwhile especially if you can do it without getting an inferior product or service. Let’s face it, it is a competitive world out there and cost savings can be achieved by those willing to take the time to look for them.

Just as an example, if you already have a email marketing software ask yourself whether it is the best one on the market at the best price. Can you save money and thereby cutting costs by sourcing one for somewhere else? Remember that these days, more than ever before, every dollar counts.
