Helping You Rock Out Your Site Like A Rockstar!

For those tired of not finding an active enough forum or want to try another one, I recommend Snark Forums. There are a variety of topics that the group contains and plenty of people to meet.

Some of the members there are extremely helpful and very savvy when it comes to being a code ninja, especially when designing your website. They will tell you how it is when it comes to design and I will have to say that I have learned a little by advice and reviews from some of the members at Snark Forums, previous to being a member at the community.

Anyway, since I recently joined the group, I have been enjoying it there and have felt quite welcomed. I recommend trying Snark Forums.

I have completed the website review of Velociteen. The site has a great focus, but the design really needs some work.

If you have a website that you want reviewed, you can request to have your site reviewed by me.

I always encourage people to visit sites that offer more information to consumers looking for web hosting. Why? Well, these sites are important in allowing people shopping for a new webhost a single place to check out reviews submitted by their peers. There are webhosts that open and close every day based on your input.

I cannot count the times I have had bad service since I started purchasing webhosting in 2003. Since then I became my own webhost.

It is not easy, but these web hosting review sites really do help. Consumers want to trust the service they buy. If a host is not genuine, or has a lot of technical problems, these review sites will reflect that in what the clients say about a company.

I recommend checking it out. If you are hosting with anyone, you should submit a review for them today at Webhosting Choice.

With social media being big, WordPress MU, which allows users to install mutiple WordPress and connect with other bloggers has finally developed even more into Buddypress. Months ago, I plugged BuddyPress as I thought it was great. It is a great alternative for those tired of Facebook and MySpace or Ning, but with those who had a big love for using WordPress.

I am a little bit behind from the announcement of this over at the BuddyPress blog, but I remember that there were people really interested in it. Personally, I think this takes WordPress over the top and heads above most blog scripts (or for some of you, blog platform.)

I think this is great, especially for those people who were into doing forums. Not only can you do forums, but basically just about anything from blogging. It makes socializing a heck of a lot easier. With people who offer subdomain hosting, Buddypress might prove to be a better alternative. BuddyPress contains some great features like extended profiles, friends section, private messaging, groups, streams (kind of like a Facebook/ Twitter feature), forums, stats so you can track your blog, and more.

Spring is here and there are a lot of opportunities to do things, like going on vacation or going to amusement parks. If you like to vacation in Florida, you might be able to win a getaway to Kissimmee. For me, I would love to just go and see the sites. I love to travel whether within the country or outside. I thought since I saw this opportunity, I would share it. Even if I did not win the sweepstakes, perhaps one of you who frequently visit my blog might win and blog about it.

Anyway, there are several getaways they are giving. One is a getaway for two people for a weekend (3 days/ 2 nights.) Another is a weeklong vacation for 4 people. The next drawings for winners are May 1, 2009, and June 1, 2009, so you might want to enter as soon as possible.

Sometimes just getting out is fun, no matter where the destination is. Just in case, Kissimmee, Florida has great fishing places, hiking trails, and is near places like the Kennedy Space Center, Silver Springs, and Bok Tower Gardens. The city is located in the central part of the state, a bit south of Orlando. That means that you can even visit Disney World as it is not far away.

I thought I would post a quick blog about a few places you can get some backlinks to your site. Some may cost, but others are free.

Hope this list will help you on your way in developing the backlinks you need to get your site out there and seen.

Almost forgot to mention, but I finished the website review for Honeymarie.com. If you would like to request a website review, feel free to request one.

Please remember to read the information and guidelines for reviews before requesting one.

Before I forget, thank you Alyssa for submitting your review. I hope the review helps you in what you are looking for your website.

I have to admit, when seeing this, it really drew my eyes. There are people out there paid to hack. Now, most people associate hacking with something negative, but there are two sides to it. What I am talking about is companies hiring people to hack in order to tighten their computer security. IT Security is something highly sought after for companies today since most are turning to using computers and the internet to get the job done. In a way you would be one of the people involved in making sure your company is not hacked. You can even study online to be certified for the position, which makes it extremely convenient for people who work and have a family.

EC-Council IClass has classes in Security Fundamentals, Ethical Hacking, Penetration Testing, Computer Forensics, Disaster Recovery, and Secure Programming. All of these subjects are important for those in the tech field as it is always developing.

There are free first look classes that you can check out to see if you would be interested in taking the classes or to set you on the right path, like being a Certified Ethical Hacker. The IT field is one of the highest paying jobs. It would not hurt to give this site a look and see if it is something that you would be interested in, especially if you are still looking for a solid career.
