Some of you may have noticed that I had been reviewing several web hosting sites. Now my attention is now turned to Web Hosting Bluebook – another web hosting site with its own top web hosts to offer.
Unlike some of the other sites that I had mentioned here, Web Hosting Bluebook appears plain and simple. There isn’t anything more beyond their list of their best top ten websites. However, I was not disappointed at seeing each worded reviews: the reviews tackles the specific advantages and disadvantages of each web host in terms of features, price, reliability and support. An overview which describes the background of each web host is also mentioned. There’s also a summary which, to me, is an overall evaluation of the web host that’s mentioned. At the top of each detailed review, an outline of the main features is also mentioned, which is a good thing to the one who reads such reviews. Aside from the worded reviews, each web host has a table where it is evaluated according to features.
The reviews are not really the only things in the site. Look further up the navigation menu of the site and you will see a forum, a blog, some articles about web hosting, free WordPress themes, a newsletter subscription and even a page of hosting glossary.
The site seemed plain and simple, but for someone who simply looks for the best cheap web host service then this site is the answer.

Since I started earning online, I discovered those online radio stations one by one. Because I have a fast internet connection, I am able to enjoy most of these online radios stations without that annoying interruption.
Today, I got the opportunity to take a peek at another online radio station: Kerchoonz! The site is still in beta, but at a glance, the site design impressed me. It plays music from famous artists legally for free!
I clicked at the mini-player at the top of the site and waited but it did not play any random music. So I decided to sign up for a free account. In no time I saw my account’s dashboard. However, I clicked on that mini-player again and still, it did not play anything. I was disappointed, it would have been better if that mini-player could play random songs right away without consulting their online help manual. Anyway, after looking around, I was able to play music after selecting a specific artist.
I learned that there’s more the Kerchoonz, not just music. I can choose to upload videos. There’s a section for fun games too. I’m also into social networking, so I am able to add links to the other social networks such as Facebook and Twitter where I actively participate in. Their KWidgets are also interesting: I saw seven widgets which is actually a good thing, since many users have different tastes. I’ve taken one of the widgets from the site and featured it here below this post. Feel free to add one to your blog’s/website’s sidebar, if you wish.
K Alliance, a full-service computer training provider, is also offering a+ CBT training videos for people who want to get A+ certifications. If you don’t want to commit yourself to a rigid boot camp schedule which puts everything on hold, then consider self-training using K Alliance’s CompTIA A+ Certification CBT Training Videos which are packed in CDs!
If you really need to upgrade your skills without taking the time off your duties, then a CBT videos like that of K Alliance is, perhaps, the solution to your needs.
K Alliance courses is not simply buying off a set of training videos and just using those stop, pause and play buttons to learn. You actually more of a complete package along with those training videos: interactive hands-on labs, a course map where you actually choose which subjects that you want to learn, online notetaking and bookmarking, and of course, the facility to print out those lessons. You also to printout a certificate of completion after finishing each interactive course!
Indeed, getting those A+ certifications is now easier with this kind of CBT video training. Learn at home or after your day job. These A+ certifications are geared for technical support fields such as IT technician, help desk support and other technical roles.

Perhaps one of the things that I like to actually see implemented on this blog is the use of email newsletters. At first I thought that this is just an optional part of the blog, but when you see your blog growing, email marketing can be a powerful tool that can bring more money in.
Over these past few days I’ve been busy configuring WordPress blogs which are designed for listbuilding purposes. I actually learned from that experience – I had not noticed that some blogs are made for a different goal: to get people to subscribe to their email list. The email list is often used to pitch in offers to attract people to buy a particular product or service.
I saw a few mailing list software and got to play with them. I just saw one from ActiveCampaign – they call it 1-2All – which offers a 30-day free trial limited to 250 subscribers, 2 admin users, and up to 4 mailing lists. To start with the free trial, an account with ActiveCampaign had to be setup before the download can proceed.
After the trial period, one can opt to order either a full license version or the lite one. There are even a number of add-ons to enhance the functionality of the email marketing software.

I do sell my services as a web developer but not all websites need the services of a professional web developer. Simple websites can be done through a host’s site builder. One such service is that of BlueVoda, a software program which claims that it can help anyone create website in 30 minutes.
I provided my name and email first to go to their download page. I still had to wait for a couple of minutes for the email to take me to that download page. It did not take long for me to download the file, I was able to install the BlueVoda software in my PC without any problems.
After the installation, I saw two programs installed. One of these is an FTP program while the other one is the site builder. The site builder is the one to use to create a website: any newbie can use it just like any a word processor such as MS Word. I tried to find built-in ready made templates but I was disappointed by the lack of those things. Only an observant user who has tried to follow instructions and view tutorials on the BlueVoda’s website will be able to find unthemed DIY templates that can downloaded from the site. I also expected to have that kind of wizard that pops up when a user tries to create a new website.
BlueVoda is free, but the catch of this freebie is that, one needs to have pay for a Vodahost account to easily upload that finished website.
