    I heard Facebook would start charging it's member's a fee! Is this True?

    No I don't believe Facebook will ever charge a fee. Even on their homepage it says that it is free and always will be. They are getting ridiculous with the promoting posts and pages tho in my opinion, but your membership will remain free. I am getting annoyed that my posts on my fan page do...

    Beginner

    I took C ++ in college, tho I was not able to continue to pursue a degree. It was almost 12 years ago now. It can be worth it to learn C++ if you really have an interest in learning it, otherwise no it probably will not be worth it. It can be a challenge and it can be fun, but you do have to...

    Has anybody tried SiteLock?

    This may be for all websites whose hosting company offers this, but I posted it here as it is my Wordpress blog that I got offered this for. Have you tried SiteLock? It is supposed to scan your files and help protect your site from being hacked and also keep your site free of Malware. It...

    Posts with bad grammar/english

    Bad English or grammar would not keep me from publishing the post if it was clearly not spam. I appreciate all comments from all my readers and if they cannot speak English, I will not let that stop them from being a part of the conversation. Now if it is at all spammy (not relevant to the...

    A section for Pinterest?

    Hi, I was wondering if we could have a special section under social media for Pinterest. It is growing strong and really is a great place to get traffic, especially to a blog. I get a good amount of traffic from it and I am not as active on Pinterest as I should be! There are things to learn...

    Do You Use Google+?

    I find it easier to get more people to follow you and also interact with you on G+ then on Facebook. G+ doesn't keep certain posts from displaying to people like Facebook seemed to start doing. I like that my Google+ profile and also my pages come up in Google searches along with my websites...

    Do you install WP manually?

    I went through my hosting company that has an automatic install. I wouldn't know the first thing about installing it manually and didn't realize you could so I am glad that the hosting company has this! Many hosting companies have the automatic install that is safe and secure so you should be...

    Do You Like Blogger?

    I didn't know they were blocked in China. Can you visit blogs that are on Blogger or is it that you just can't use it to publish blogs? Just wondering if people in China would be able to view my blogs that are hosted through Blogger.

    Do You Like Blogger?

    I use both, I have a few blogs on Blogger and I also have a self hosted Wordpress blog. I really like them both, but as I am learning Wordpress a little more I am finding that there are a lot more things you can do with it over Blogger. Blogger is great tho and I have been there since 2007...

    Facebook Ads Coupon

    Facebook used to have coupons in different business magazines but I have never used them. Entrepreneur magazine used to have them every so often. Not sure about seeing them online any where tho, I have only seen them in magazines.

    Microsoft AdCenter

    I have never tried either, I have not run the PPC ads (tho I may use a voucher I got too.) Google is a bit expensive for certain keywords and I am wondering in Bing would be a bit more reasonably priced for you? They are gaining in popularity, I know people who prefer Bing for the searches -...

    How do you encourage visitors to leave comments on your blog?

    Yes I think adding questions is a great way to get comments! People like to share their opinions and giving them the opportunity at the end of the post will help encourage them to do so. When I write a post (of course my situation will be a bit different since mine is about parenting so it's...

    How do you verify ownership for Google Webmaster?

    I was able to get it this time, thank you! Yes I finally saw that I could go in through Wordpress and edit only my header which is easier then Blogger - Blogger you can't pick out just the header. It was driving me crazy as I kept getting the recommendation to upload the file instead of editing...

    What sites have Blogger templates?

    You are welcome! It was always my favorite site for free templates until I decided to add my own pictures and create a more "this is me" for my family blog. I have had a hard time getting a nice background picture behind my blogs when I customize them so I just have the pictures on top. It was...

    Making Blog Private on Blogger

    There is a privacy setting in Blogger that you can keep it from showing up in Blogger and search engines. It is under settings then basic. I have never made any of mine private but being it is a setting in your dashboard I would imagine you could change it again later.

    How do you verify ownership for Google Webmaster?

    I have a webmaster account and all of my Blogger blogs are verified, but I have not been able to verify my Wordpress blog. It is a self hosted blog and I have tried to upload the file that Google gives you into my hosting account, but Google seems to not recognize any time I add it. I know...

    Where can I find free photos to use on my blog?

    I usually take my own pictures, but I will also use Zemanta for pictures and related posts to add from time to time. It works with Wordpress and Blogger (possibly others but I don't know.) When you sign up for Zemanta, you can have it as a Google Chrome plugin and it will work in your blogging...

    What sites have Blogger templates?

    I used to always go to finalsense(.)com for Blogger templates. They have free templates and they usually have something for a variety of occasions and niches. Now I decided to use a template through Blogger and then I design it the way I want it. You can really do a lot of changing to the...

    Hostgator Review

    I have their middle hosting plan but I am considering upgrading to business since it is on sale and only about $2 more a month now then what I am paying. Is this limited too? I am supposed to be able to host unlimited domains, disc space and bandwidth. I have been quite happy with them so far...

    Suggest Few Nice WordPress Themes

    I actually like Mantra theme which you can find through Wordpress itself. It gives you the ability to change a lot of things you would want to change and you can also put a picture for a header if you choose. It is professional but yet easily personalized to make your blog look friendly at the...
