Are You Upset For Not Getting Traffic?

I’ve learned in this short time since I’ve started this website that the most difficult part is not writing: I love to write and it’s easy for me, as I have may things to say. The biggest challenge is to get readers, traffic for the website.

I’ve tried hard to get traffic from Digg, which is a social networking webiste. Social networking means that I submit a story I think is good, other members read it, and if they like it, they vote. If you gather a big number of votes in a short period of time (hours), your story would get promoted to the front page, which has so many visitors that it has been said it had crushed many servers.

I wasn’t successful in my Digg attempt, therefore I decided to find some smaller social networking places were people are more friendly and give their votes also to strangers, not only to their friends. I found a few of them, and I had a nice surprise: not only I needed only 5-7 votes to get my story published, I also made a lot of friends and we had a lot of fun.

Who needs Digg, anyway?

Come To Wildwood For The Radio Disney Concert

Wildwood hotels will be very busy in July, that’s for sure. The reason? Well, the Radio Disney Summer Concert Series will be held in Wildwood, New Jersey at Morey’s Piers during July. All concerts will be free, and music lovers will have the chance to meet their favorites, as all top Radio Disney artists will participate in the concerts.

So, if you intend to come, you’ll have a lot of things to do in New Jersey, and you’ll have a great time, with all these events coming up. Morey’s Piers is a great place for a New Jersey vacation, anyway, so why not have both: vacation and concerts? You’ll have enough free time, as the concerts schedule is as it follows:
- the Magic Mondays: July 7th, 14th and 21th – all concerts are free and they feature artists who will perform live at Morey’s Piers.
- The Radio Disney Summer Concert series finale: Saturday, July 26th.This one is not free, but if you get a ticket, you can benefit from discounts for waterpark tickets for either Raging Waters or Ocean Oasis, or $10 off an amusement pier wristband good for all three of Morey’s Piers, or you can enjoy $15 off a one-day splash combined with a ride ticket.

The big surprise of the July 26th concert is that you’ll have the occasion to see Mitchell Musso from the Hannah Montana Show performing on the stage.

See you in Morey’s Piers in July!

Born Allergic to Shoes

I have a friend who was born allergic to shoes. Finding out about his disease explained me a lot of things: first, it was clear why is is semi-deaf: I know that there may be a connection between allergies and hearing, and it seems that he really had big troubles in his early childhood. That prevented him from learning to speak in the correct way, and he is now confronted with a low degree of dislexia for the rest of his life.

One of the allergies he’s got is to shoes. Not exactly to all kind shoes, but the ones made of artificial materials. the trouble is that some shoes manufacturers didn’t use to mention what materials they used, so he ended up by buying leather shoes with plastic interior, which gave him terrible itches.

This is so strange that he got diagnosed with very big difficulty, as all doctors were suspecting eczema, or micosis, and gave him wrong tratments for years.

This was the strangest disease ever I’ve heard about.

Protect Your Apple iPhone 3G

If you are looking for ipod nano cases or 3g iphone cases, you’d better do some research before getting to actually buy anything, because you may discover solutions which are by far the most elegant and unobtrusive.

For example, have you ever heard about ZAGG’s invisibleSHIELD™? This is an extremely resistant, transparent film, which is meant to be applied on the iPhone, thus protecting it’s screen from scratches and keeping it like new for a very long time. This innovative invisibleSHIELD not only protects your gadget from damage, but it also gives you the chance to win a free iPhone 3G, which is offered in the video contest organized by Zagg.

Why then would you buy an iPhone case, which most of the times doesn’t look that great, when you can have this solution and also participate in this cool contest?

Why Reseller Hosting Is Better Than Shared

If you have a website, you’ve probably heard a lot of talks regarding the shared hosting versus a reseller account. But why go for reseller, when you can have unlimited sites on a shared account which costs some $5-$8 per month, instead of $25 which is the average price of a reseller account?

1. Reseller accounts are better because you can have a dedicated cPanel for each site, thus giving you flexibility and control.

2. On reseller accounts, there is a facility which allows you to pre-install files on all accounts you make. You just upload the files once, and then, each time a new account is created, those files are automatically uploaded. In this way, a boring job of installing the same script on 100 domains becomes very easy and fast.

3. If something happens and one of your sites crash the server, you’ll get only that account suspended, instead of having all 100 sites down.

What do you think? It is obvious that for people who manage many websites, a reseller account is better than shared hosting, despite the higher price.

My Crazy Halloween Costume Idea

Halloween Costumes are always a great occasion for fun and laughter. I’m a big fan of Halloween, and I’ve always tried to exploit it to the full, by choosing the craziest ideas for my costumes. I just like to amaze the audience. I love those first seconds after I appear, when everybody shuts up and stares. You cannot imagine how funny it was when I dressed myself like a big piece of cake and I started chasing around my nephews around the house! I think they were afraid to eat their desert some good weeks after that Halloween!

How I still remember that other Halloween, when my wife and I dressed like the Ball and Chain. Boy, we were so funny! Too bad I was the ball, so I wasn’t able to sit at the dinner table because of the spikes I had all over. Not to mention that our dog, Toby, didn’t recognize me from the start and he tried to bite my spikes.

We’ve found these costumes at Costume Cauldron, an amazing online shop for Halloween costumes. For this year, I’ve already made my choice: I’ll be Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings. The Gandalf Adult Deluxe costume is available in the same shop, Costume Cauldron. My wife is going to be Betty Boop, so we expect the youngsters to fight to sit near her at the table. This costume looks so sexy that I think I’m not going to invite my male, single friends to join us for the Halloween pary. Not that I’m jealous, but you can never know. So it’s better to be safe than sorry.

The funniest thing, that final touch which makes the perfect masquerade, is the fact that at Costume Cauldron you can also find accessories and make up for the selected costumes. Too bad I don’t have photos from the last Halloween, because we dropped the camera on the floor and we were unable to retrieve any information from it. Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter, a we have the whole party on video.

If you are now thinking we are crazy to spend so much money for just one night a year, please find out that the costumes are affordable, and if you pay attention, you can find the special discount code at Costume Cauldron which will make the costumes even more affordable and the joy even bigger.
