I found this amazing product its called USB Cell Batteries you can find it here at firebox.com the idea of it is you can plug it into a USB port by taking the male part of the battery top off which reveals a USB male connector which you can plug into any standard USB port which will then charge the battery.
Its a amazing little gadget all ‘Geeks’ must have this your out and about come across a small computer you can just plug it in or at college/school go in the IT room and plug it in, this product can save you so much money compared to actually buying standard AA batteries.
They also have a few others in the making such as Triple A (AAA) and also the 9V batteries.
You can buy it at firebox here USB Cell Batteries its a brilliant price and worth it!
Oh why Opera why can’t I use you so?
I’m starting to get a little annoyed at how I really like Opera and Firefox, recent reasons i haven’t been able to switch to Opera is the fact Firefox has its build in spell checker which I love because my spelling is a mess a lot of the time.
so that’s the first problem I have second is del.icio.us I love my plugins for it as I loose a lot of my bookmarks well to put it another way Firefox looses my bookmarks all the time, so in Opera I don’t have that plugin.
Opera the refreshing feature is fabulous my favourite feature if your posting on forums it is a life saver you can just enable it to refresh every 1 minute or something and then just flick your screen over to see if theirs anything new.
The sidebar with notes, mail etc… its a amazing feature saves so much time, your on a site want to jot some notes down while reading no need to open up notepad you have a pad next to your browser!
I’ve never looked at the stats properly at Christmas time but it went down quite low at Christmas which I wasn’t too surprised about I expected a fall in visitors, but it hasn’t harmed anything it just dropped to the amount of visitors I got last month.
What was everyone else’s stats like at Christmas?
This is a proud day for me, I have just noticed my first spammer on typer tappers!
Now how i see spammers is the idea that when you get one your website must be doing
okay it means other people are getting your links and you could be ranking high in Google or Yahoo and surprisingly enough I’m happy to see my first comment spammer I shall be keeping his post up their but removing the links.
If you would like to see my Christmas spammer you can find it here on “A Messy Blog Is A Unpopular Blog”
I would love to hear some stories of your first spammers.
UPDATE: Over Xmas I received another 5 comment spams, on that one post alone.
Well I got my bank statement the other day looked at it and found I had £2.00 from 1&1 Hosting and Domains I used one of their affiliate links on one of my links pages which I put up a while ago now and it gets under 20 unique visitors every day.
So I got thinking about this as I haven’t had any success with Ad sense lately, I though I should try putting some adverts around the pages, so I used my 1&1 account to put a advert below the header and then joined Affiliate Future which allows me to add tonnes of adverts their is a massive database of clients you can use for example Firebox if you refer a user using your link you gave them once they order something you get a certain percentage of the profits.
Make 25 sales or more and receive 11%.
Make 50 sales or more and receive 12%.
Make 150 sales or more and receive 15%
Their is a overwhelming list of clients its really worth a go, I shall be trying it out for a couple of months to see how it goes, a lot of forums I’ve visited they have said use affiliate links instead of PPC (pay-per-click) advertising.
