To Better Grazing Grounds….

I ventured into a site called Woman Tribune and just upon stumbling, I my eyes widened. Now, being a person who likes freebies, I saw that they had a whole list of things from pads to diapers and even hair product samples. Not only that, there are articles that are must reads. Check it out!

Another site I happened upon was Logical Harmony. The site has a variety of article and blog posts about health, beauty, and fashion. I think it is resourceful, and like the other site I introduced, has posts about freebies. Do take a look!

In sitely news, I have re-opened Shameless Plug. Go on over and plug your site. Also, do not forget to try visiting the other sites that have plugged. The site had been closed for almost 2 months due to the fact that I needed to think of a way to make it better. I also needed to update the scripts and spice it up some. I did away with one of the rules of the site which stated that businesses could not plug their site. I do however offer “In House Sponsoring” which is 100 x100 banner advertising that can even be purchased permanently (meaning as long as the site is open.) Shameless Plug has been opened since late 2004, one of my older websites, so it will be around for some time.

As for my personal site, I am going to be upgrading the WordPress script this week. Please be patient during this time. I have been carefully researching widgets and plugins more to make this site better. Also, I forgot to mention that the handmade bracelet proceeds will go to Relay For Life, which I am a part of for the second year in a row. To make a donation, feel free to visit my RLF page.

On a server note, I ended up switching to HostGator for my server at Host Solutions. They are a top 10 webhost alone, and have their servers located in one of the top 10 datacenter locations.

I was previously using SurpassHosting (which I refuse to link because of my ire with them) and had been lead to believe they were an excellent service. :shocked: I had several issues, most stemming to downtime because now that I know, I had a fairly shotty server. PLUS, I ended up almost wasting a grand on another server, two of the months I had to suffer some 500 Internal Server Error or some type of error or some issue with visitors from various locations around the world unable to view a site on the server. :sweat: The other was that is took one and a half months for them to finally figure that my hard drive was failing. I had other issues which disappeared in my ticket support, not even archived or anything. I was informed by a gal whom is a lawyer that could take the issue with all my evidence to a small claims court. No matter SurpassHostings claimed to not be liable, that is merely bogus legal jargen meant to deter people from thinking they can when in fact they can take it to court. I expected to have a service that was professional and took care of what I needed, especially at the price I was paying and what they offered.

On further note of webhosting, Host Solutions is getting a new face. :cheering: It is slowly being converted over and I will be introducing better services because of the much needed move to an actual professional service. :noble: Host Solutions packages will also become a bitter better, but still start at $20/ year! :applause:

I am still looking for link exchanges. As for ringtones, I should have about 10 more up soon. Feel free to comment and leave a request. I can look. Please comment. Also, do not forget to plug your site at Shameless Plug.
