Chaos in the city

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

If you think there is chaos in your city today, take a look at San Francisco in 1905.  People walking every which way on the road, streetcars passing by, horses and wagons adding to the chaos.

Turn up your speakers and listen to the accompanying music, very appropriate and enhancing to the video.

Kevin Riley interview with Granny Blogger

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Here is a video we shot in Atlanta while my daughter was attending #NAMS. Kevin Riley came all the way from Japan to attend the conference.

My granddaughter and I toured around Atlanta visiting and sightseeing while my daughter (her Mom) was busy at the workshop.  It was a very enjoyable four days for all of us.

I just made a short video on screentoaster about switching between windows on your computer. I would say it is not very professional but you should go to Screentoaster and see some others or try it yourself.

Here it is

Exercise Your Mind

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Whenever I want to relax my body & exercise my mind I pick up a pencil & my sudoku puzzle book.

You can buy these books at the dollar store and they have many puzzles in them ranging from easy to very hard.

Don’t get too wrapped up in them though because once your mind is exercised and fit to go to work you will want to concentrate on writing your ebooks or how-to guides.

Kevin Riley has published so much in this regard that you need never go anywhere else to begin your own product creation business.

Website Hosting Services

Monday, February 8th, 2010

By Eleanor McCallum

Over the past several years I have set up a number of websites and used the services of 5 different Web Hosts.

In this article I will try to explain some of the features of these services and compare prices, ease of use and the capabilities of their Cpanels.

The hosting services I am familiar with are:
1. Netfirms
2. Host Papa
3. Host Monster
4. Host4Profit
5. Host Gator

Four of these allow you to set up a website using WordPress. Host4Profit have their very own wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) process for designing and publishing a website.

Host Papa, Host Monster and Host Gator feature Cpanel with its groups of icons for Mail, Links, Preferences, Logs, Files, Security & Software/Services.

Using Fantastico, which is the most commonly used Software, a WordPress website can be initiated and easily set up by anyone.

With regard to pricing, the monthly fee for each of these webhosts is probably within the same ballpark. Once you have made your choice, the ability to add-on more domains for no extra cost is a bonus.

Host4Profit will allow an additional domain to be hosted for five dollars extra each month. I really don’t see the advantage of paying this added cost, when you can add on a domain for the same monthly price, using Host Papa, Host Monster and Host Gator.

Netfirms seems to be geared to people that have little or no knowledge of web hosting so it is a very good web host for a Newbie to use.

I have been advised by those in the know, that when you register a website through a particular web host, it is best not to use them for your monthly hosting, e.g. you register a new website at GoDaddy or Namecheap. You would then arrange monthly hosting with one of the webhosts I mention here or any other that you might choose (but not the webhost that is your registrar).
