I definitely recommend everyone check out this site in order to make sound financial decisions. They also provide a Home Owner Insurance Quote, which can be really helpful.

I am about $300 away from getting my laptop for my business. As easy as it would be to finance it, it would be much easier just to pay upfront and get it taken care of. I’m getting a simple laptop, something I can do my business on. Nothing big, nothing too fancy (besides pink). I have been working my butt off so I can afford this.

5 ways to better your blog

1. De clutter your sidebars. All those awards and various blog network buttons taking up all your space? Move them to a post and give it a previous date. Now, link to that post on your blog.

For example, create a new post called “Awards”.
Now, at the bottom, click post options and put a date that has already passed on there so it won’t show up as recent. Post it.
Copy the link of the post. Go to dashboard, create a new page element (preferably links) and add the copied link to the element and label it Awards. Now, add it to your sidebar. You can also do this with blogrolls, and much more.

This will make your sidebars a lot less cluttered.

2. If you are feeling bored and don’t know what to say, chances are you shouldn’t blog. Wait until you have something to say.

3. When someone comments, comment back. Whether it be in the same post (what I usually do), or visit their blog and leave a comment, but let them know what you are commenting about if you do visit their blog.

4. You don’t have to do the same meme more than once, just because someone tagged you. Switch it up. Change the questions and do something different. 100 random things about you is a good way to start. It took me 3-4 days to do that one.

5. Have an appealing blog. One that looks good on the eyes. It will give readers a better feel of who you are, by how your blog looks.

A Free Consumer Resource – BadCreditOffers.com

Got bad credit? There is a site out there that helps consumers get back on their feet financially. With the number of “bad credit” consumers in the U.S. growing by the day, badcreditoffers.com is a great resource. Rather than applying for the first offer that comes in the mail, their site allows visitors to compare dozens of bad credit loans from major providers and find the best offer to fit their needs. And by making payments on time, consumers can begin their credit repair and, perhaps, rebuild their financial future.

Blogging & Marriage

I’ve noticed a lot of women lately have blogs. Men, not so much. Blogging for women is sort of like an outlet. We have “mom friends”, “blog friends”, “bff’s” and so on. Men really don’t care about that crap.
