Having a good domain name can often mean the difference between a successful blog and one that never gets any visitors. It will most likely be the first thing that your visitors will encounter, and remember your blog by if they ever find your blog online. Many bloggers still use their internet provider’s domain name or a free blogging service to get their messages online.

With good domain names getting scarcer and scarcer, some people are willing to pay top dollar to get hold of one. I’m proud to say that I paid just $10 for my one, well actually $7 as I used a GoDaddy discount code. While I’m cheap when it comes to running my blog, many people shell out vast sums of cash to buy a domain. You

Well, after finalizing the blogs theme and plugins yesterday, I was ready to kick back and relax to an easy day of content writing. That was until I logged in the Admin control panel and was greeted by the news that the new version of WorPress, version 2.6 (A.K.A. “Tyner”), had just been released.

Well for once I think my luck is turning. I’ve been browsing the net looking for an affordable and easy to use video camera when I noticed that my “online idol”, John Chow, is giving not one but two Flip Video recorders away on his blog.

The Flip Video recorder would suit my needs perfectly. I need a camera that is small enough to carry with me everywhere I go and also easy to use. Judging from all the reviews this camera has received all over the net, this seems like an awesome little tech toy.

While you are not going to be ale to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster on it, it still manages to take relatively good quality videos and stores them on its internal memory. The camera has a built in USB connector, so you don

After selling my old Acer notebook to my brother in April, I have been relying on my aging iBook for my day to day computing needs. My wife has also been using the iBook for her university projects. This had led to various issues and time constraints which has had a serious affect on my productivity.

To combat this affect, I decided to invest in a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad about a month ago. The main aim of using the ThinkPad, was to aide my online money making ventures. I think it has had the opposite result though. The switch from OS X to windows XP has been a nightmare for me and the
