In my search for photos to upload to Phototrade yesterday, I came across this photo of a beautiful sunset that I took many years ago when my wife and I were fortunate enough to go to Hamilton Island
for a business seminar. I don’t remember too much about the business seminar but that beautiful island certainly has left long lasting memories.

If you ask me what is the best toy that I ever had as a kid it would have to be my own personal swing set. I reckon that swing sets are marvelous as they not only provide enjoyment for the child but also a form of exercise. It encourages them to go out into the fresh air and move around. That is a whole lot better than sitting inside watching the TV or playing those stupid mind numbing computer games.

Everybody who uses Wordpress would have their favorite plugins and whether its because it makes blogging easier for them or because it adds ‘bells and whistles’ to their blog they would love these useful tools. I thought I would list my favorite.

1. All In On SEO: This will help tweak your blog for SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
2. Commentluv: We all love comments and this plugin will help to entice comments by linking to the persons last post on their own blog.
3. Dagon Sitemap Generator: I fond this really handy as it generates a fully customizable sitemap
4. Dean’s Permalinks Migration: I found this necessary as I used a permalinks structure that was not SEO friendly. The trouble is if I changed it it would break my all the old links to my blog. This plugin saved the day.
5. Wordpress Automatic upgrade: I found this to be essential as it will automatically update your wordpress to the latest version.
6. Zemanta: great utility for placing relevant images and links into wordpress
7. Show Top Commentators: Another plugin that rewards people for commenting on your posts.
8. Chitika eMiniMals: This is a gem as it increases the revenue per individual post. You need to be a Chitika member for this to work. You can join here.

Of course there are more that I use but these are my favorite.

I had a mate once who bought a new car and took the time to insure it for the first couple of years but then he let it lapse and figured it wasn’t worth it anyway. unfortunately for him he had an accident and luckily he was OK, but the car was completely totaled. The thing is that apart from losing his car he had to pay for the damages on the other car as well. So, if you are wondering if car insurance is worth it the answer is HELL YES!

this video is a scream and I something I really suggest you take the time to watch. This guy definitely has got Obama Girl’s tits, body or moves, but what he lacks in those departments he makes up for in humor. I reckon it would have to be the hi-light of Hillary’s whole campaign.

The way that technology is moving along these days, you have no sooner purchased a new computer and set it up that it has almost been superseded by a new one. While this may not be a problem for the average user there are some that really need to keep up with current advances and the best way to do this is through computer rentals. The obvious advantage, other than keeping up with technology is the tax advantage as rental is normaly fully tax deductible.

Another plus is that you don’t ever have to worry about computer repairs as this should be covered by your rental agreement. renting a computer may even be necessary for short term occasions, for an important meeting or a particular task, and renting would be the preferred option rather than buying one outright.

I knew that a massage is great for the body and for relieving a lot of stress that one picks up throughout the day but I never figured that it would include a facial massage? Still it seems that I am wrong and facial massage. I suppose those of us that go through a vigorous routine of face washing in the morning may have a hint of what a decent facial massage could accomplish and while there are many sites that will show you how to do this at home I reckon I work hard enough that I deserve the attention some beautiful soft supple hands working on my face. Heck I may even shave for the occasion.

I have come across a site that offers a domain name analysis that would be very useful for those wanting to protect their potential internet business. It involves taking a short quiz where you answer 3 simple questions. Upon completion of the quiz you will receive a domain scorecard that analyzes your domain name in 6 key areas of domain name success.

I tried it out for my loadofbullshit.com blog and got an overall score of 1 out of ten. It will then offer you solutions in how to improve your overall score and I can see where these solutions can help companies protect their domain. An example would be a company who sells widgets that had acquired widget.com. Unless they also acquired the other extensions such as .net, .org, .us, .biz etc they would have competitors setting up business virtually next door.

Another would be taking into consideration the misspelling of your domain. Unless you take this into consideration you would be losing all the traffic from people who typically misspell, use abbreviations and even use sound alike versions of a main domain name. Unless you take this into consideration you could be losing a lot of the traffic trying to reach your site.

Considering it is a free service it might just well be worth seeing just how well your domain name score card looks.

I remember how fascinated I was by the Banyan tree when I first saw it in Waikiki. It really was strange how it sent runners down which would root itself into the soil and grow into what appeared to be a new plant although it was still attached to the mother plant.

Another amazing thing is that I found another great site to host my photos. It is called Phototrade and what I love about it is that they actually give their members the opportunity to make money from their photos. At the moment they are in Beta stage and are only accepting invites from existing members. I have three invites so if your are interested just leave me a comment.

Before I leave this world I have to make my way to visit New York because I have heard that there are so many
Things to do in New York City! let’s face it, while Americans may take it for granted, there would be countless many people from around the globe who would feel as I do. And why wouldn’t they when you consider the amount of exposure we get to it through movies and such.

The thing is that if I was to go I would want to make sure I use the services of a trusted tour company, so I Googled it and came up with Trusted Tours & Attractions. A little research showed me that they are the Internet sales division of Historic Tours of America. Something I took note of was that they are not a fly by night company as they have been a leader in the family and heritage tourism industry in the States for over 25 years. They also own and operate heaps of sightseeing tours, museums and attractions.

The thing that really appeals to me is that I will never get bored because there is so much to do there and while I will make use of the tours I would also love to do a bit of exploring on my own. The thing is I wouldn’t want to get lost so it would be great if I could win the handheld GPS system by signing up for their newsletter! How cool would that be?

I’ve heard it said that there is also a hell of a lot of things to do in Los Angeles but I reckon I will have to leave that for another time. Isn’t it great that because of the advent of the Internet we have the luxury of
