Blogs(A.K.A. – Weblogs) are the BIGGEST thing going right now online because of there many uses for both the Web Surfer and the Internet Marketer.
But, you probably already know that so for the purpose of this article I’m not going to talk about ‘Blogs’ in general because I’m sure you’ve read enough about them by now and/or you already have a few kicking around the net.
What I’m going to share with you Right Now is something I discovered while surfing the net researching Tag and Ping tactics and Social Bookmarkleting because I run more then a few blogs online and wanted to find out how I could take advantage of this whole Tag and Ping and Social Bookmarkleting thing with as little effort as possible.
If your new to this whole Tag and Ping game then let me give you a quick summary of what a Tag is and what a Ping is so there’s no confusion as you continue through this article.
Tags – Tags are simply category names and are selected by you using keywords around whatever niche your blogging about and are included within each post you make, that is, if your blog is set up for Tags.
Ping – By Pinging your letting the weblog trackers(like Technorati for example) and the search engines now that your blog has been updated with fresh content and is ready for their spiders to come and crawl your blog for indexing into their databases.
This is where the – Tags – come into play for your blogs posts because as soon as the social bookmarkleting service spiders your blog, it will list your post under that given Tag you chose. So it’s very important you choose your Tags wisely.
Now that you know the basics of the Tag and Ping concept, lets now get into what I discovered so you too can incorporate it into your blogging mix, whether you use WordPress, Blogware or Blogger as your blogging software.
But before I do, lets first talk about what Social Bookmarkleting is for a quick minute.
Social Bookmarkleting, just in case your not quite sure, is simply a collection of your favorite articles, blogs, music, restaurant reviews, photo’s or whatever it is that you find interesting on the web and is saved into your public profile through whatever Social Bookmarkleting service you choose.
Technorati, Digg, del.icio.us, furl are just a few Social Bookmarkleting services available on the web which is why I’m writing this article because I discovered a COOL plugin that you can use on WordPress, Blogware and Blogger blogs that will connect you to over 50+ social bookmarkleting services through one click of your mouse giving your blog audience multiple options to share your blog post or blog with the world which in turn will increase your traffic and popularity of your blog.
Lets face it, adding 50+ social bookmarkleting buttons to your blog would be a VERY tedious endevour so why not take the short cut for a change and install this plugin and let your reader make his or her choice.
To take advantage of this plugin right now go to Socialize-It.com ==> http://www.socialize-it.com
This plugin is absolutely FREE and only takes minutes to install on your blog.
Make sure your choose your Tag wisely as well. I recommend you go to Technorati – http://www.technorati.com – and look at the TOP 100 tags since Technorati is the BIG Daddy in the blogosphere.
(TIP: The bigger and bolder the Tag the more popular the topic is.)
After you’ve done that, start Blogging.

For anyone that wants to earn money online, the future looks brighter and brighter. Today, I want to appeal to single moms. If you are a single mom, first and foremost, I salute you and want you to know that you are my hero. My husband travels quite extensively, and each time he is away, I become a single mom for a little while. One of the hardest parts for me, is juggling all the different hats I have to wear and never having enough time to take care of myself. Taking care of me gets put on the back burner.
To all the single moms, I know it can be exhausting. My goal is to give you an opportunity to take care of you. You have courage, you are a master task juggler, you are self less and you deserve to take care of yourself. If not for you, your children deserve a mommy that takes care of herself. Not after today, will you be able to say that I don’t have the money. I want to inspire you to consider online business opportunities. Quite simply, a fifth grader can earn money online, I want you to see this as a source of freedom. What would you do with a little extra income? Pay off debt? Buy clothes? Dare to dream!
As I discussed in an earlier post, single moms that want to earn money online have 2 simple goals:
1. Drive traffic to a website, where you sell services or products or both;
2. Convert website visitors into customers.
Let’s look at each goal from the perspective of a single mom looking to supplement her income and earn money online. I am going to assume she is on a limited budget. So the good news is that there are so many low-cost or FREE options for her, that there are almost no barriers to entry for the single mom that wants to earn money online.
FREE Website
She can get a website up and running for FREE and looking quite impressive by creating a blog on WordPress. All she has to do is go to www.wordpress.com, register a blog, pick a theme and start posting. Honestly, that’s it. From this blog, she can sell products, services and even e-bay auction items. OK, so the website is up and running, now what? Next, she has to drive traffic to her website.
FREE Traffic to her Website
One of the easiest and FREE ways to drive traffic to a website is through social networking. Why? Because it’s viral. All you have to do is build your social network and then direct them to your website. That means, set yourself up on Facebook and start adding friends. That means, getting a Twitter account and start following people. That means, getting a channel on Youtube and start posting your home videos. And the list goes on. If there is one segment of the population out there that is good at building a social network, it’s single moms. Single moms have their fingers in so many pies, thanks to all their kids’ activities, so it’s very easy to quickly build a network. Think of your network as a form of currency. If you are a single mom and have developed a decent sized network of friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter, you have an incredible, valuable asset and you can go to bed tonight with a big smile on your face. You just need to unleash its potential. If you don’t have a large network yet, it’s really easy to build one….and again, it’s FREE.
Converting Traffic to Buyers
Now, the key to getting traffic to a website is actually converting your website visitors. Once again, single moms have a hand up on lots of other people because, most likely, they have built a relationship with their website visitors through everyday life. People do business with people they like. If you can be real, honest and open with people, simply through posts on your blog, the updates on Facebook and the tweets on twitter, you will eventually find a following of people that want to do business with you. It really is that simple.
Now, all you have to do is find something to sell. A great place to start looking for something to sell is either affiliate marketing or network marketing, or both…because the upstart costs are minimal and the speed with which you can get started is very short. One more reason I recommend either of these – the income potential is unlimited. For affiliate marketing, where you promote other people’s products, but earn a commission when they buy, a great place to start is ClickBank, www.clickbank.com. For network marketing, if you want to get involved but don’t want to prospect friends and family, I have an amazing, simple, step-by-step system that you can test drive for just at Earn Money Online.
I wish you the best of luck. Please know that I believe in you…you deserve to start taking care of yourself today
Recently I decided to modify my configuration of Drupal 6. Previously, I had just one site, and I had innocently left everything in the default/ directory. This install in retrospect was easy but not an example of good planning. I later had to do some minor changes when I decided to migrate to multi-site.
When it later became clear that I wanted to host multiple sites, I had to move my ‘files’ directory from inside of /sites/default to /sites/central-america-forum.com. That was easy enough. I moved the settings.php file, cleaned the cache (I have devel module installed), fixed my hard-coded logo URL in my custom theme (oops) and it was running without a hitch.
except… I then realized that my modified installation hadn’t properly transferred knowledge about the exact location of the images. Most images were not displaying – not Random Image block, not user thumbnails, etc.
So then I found some tips on Drupal: changing “files” directory configuration setting. No problem. I didn’t even put the site in maintenance mode. I just backed up the db, fired off this sql: update files set filepath = replace (filepath, “sites/default/files”, “sites/central-america-forum.com/files”) ; and most images were back.
Except.. User thumbnails not showing up. So I fired up firebug for drupal (I had this module installed), and examined the queries for the user page … eventually I realized ‘duh’ and just went to the database and did ‘describe users’ which made it clear that there was a ‘pictures’ field equivalent to the ‘filepath’ field… executed this sql update users set picture = replace (picture, “sites/default/files”, “sites/central-america-forum.com/files”) ; And it seems that everything is now working nicely. Of course the htaccess and robots.txt files are shared, which I might have to consider seriously in the future, but for now I think it’s ok.
** NB – Update – January 1, 2010. I just received the following news about a drupal module that can help you automate this migration:
I just wanted to let you know that based on your post and experiences I’ve had of migrating sites in a mult-site setup I’ve created a module to make it much easier. I also wanted to add it to your post for other users who happen to find your blog post as I did when I was looking for an easier way to migrate.

So in some ways this module was created thanks to you and your blog post!

customers in the web hosting industry search for hosting plans, reliability, connectivity, uptime guarantees, etc. and therefore Dedicated servers are the most preferred web hosting solutions. However, the customer should choose a hosting plan in accordance with the requirements. There are several Web-hosting of various web hosting providers will be offered to the customer to choose one according to the requirements of the Web sites and applications can be hosted. You will also find dedicated server hosting involved with various types of data and configuration options by customers is available for selection. It is therefore necessary that the customer selects the right dedicated server in order to achieve a good performance and the requirements are met.
If you compare Dedicated Servers , you are different servers with different RAM allotments found, provided the bandwidth and storage capacity. This is mainly due to the capacity of the Dedicated Server related, but when it comes to dedicated web hosting, one of the most important factors is the processor that is being offered with various dedicated servers. Processor of the server affects the performance of the server and thus the Web sites and applications are also affected. The processor of the Dedicated server is also known as a CPU to execute instructions is responsible. Dedicated hosting is offered include various types of processors, the single-core, Dual Core, Quad Core and Dual-Quad-Core. Single-core processors are used by customers running any heavy applications, and those who have just launched a dedicated server, whereas dedicated servers with higher configuration processors are usually from customers seeking a higher configuration have used is required.
single-core processors are the own, you can choose when you start with Dedicated Server Hosting . Dedicated server with single-core processor have a processor in a single chip and are thus given the orders to the processor (CPU) to be carried out in the best possible way. After the tasks are fulfilled, cache to the commands so that it is possible to save them again as needed. However, if the data is not stored in the cache is required, the RAM is needed for the server or other external storage device from the system bus to retrieve the data. For this reason, the performance of dedicated servers with single-core processors are affected, and the CPU is slower. Single-core processors are fine, when it comes to the implementation of limited tasks at a single point of time comes, however, if running multiple tasks at the same time, there may be some problems.
The reason is the fact that the processor of the Dedicated Server up and down, has to move to the tasks. Although the election would be single-core dedicated hosting not cause problems for you if you with it off or you do not have many applications or Web sites run at the same time. However, the recommendation to a dedicated Web-hosting provider, you can upgrade your server to any point in time so that you choose a dedicated server with better processor selects Incase your needs are met not with single-core dedicated hosting .
