Have you ever thought about setting up your own website? Maybe for family or maybe for business. Well to do that you first need to have a web host to set your site up on. That’s the tricky part of any website. I was looking into setting up a site for a designer’s CT. I found a great free site that helps guide you to choosing the web host that best suits your needs based on several factors; disk space, bandwidth, monthly costs and set up fee. This site is Web Hosting Choice and I think it’s a great place to start for anyone who is looking into starting any web site. This site offers a wide variety of information as well as the search capability. There is a Quick Start Guide as well as a FAQ page and even an Advanced search area for those who know a bit more about web hosting. In addition there is the learning center area that has in depth information on potential scams among web hosting sites, domain names, cheap hosting sites and dedicated servers and why you should look into those. All in all, the site is a complete overview for web hosting and I am glad that I found it. It will make my job much easier as I continue to look into the CT forum site.

I’ve been approved to join the hundreds, no thousands of bloggers who are making the most of a great opportunity; getting paid to blog. I’ve joined the Pay Per Post program. It was very simple to set up. I just clicked on the icon on the right that says Get Paid to Blog. That took me right to the site. It’s very self explanatory. Enter the information to register your blog. It takes about a week to get approved. I did have to issue a tracking ticket through customer love, but they did respond to the ticket very quickly and I was approved. There are different opportunities for you to blog about. You see what you are qualified for, reserve the opportunity and then do a post about it. There are different subjects and different dollar amounts available. Some I’m very qualified for, other’s I’ll need to do a little research on, but the subject still interests me. There are a few that I know nothing about and really don’t care to look into. Those are the opportunities that don’t fit my style so I won’t bother with those. So I post once or twice a day and after 30 days, money starts rolling into my paypal account. I’ve seen other’s who have done it. Yen was the first person and I know that she does several posts a day. Heather also started a little over a month ago. She said she’s getting paid daily now and it’s helping.

So why try Pay Per Post? Why not. I have a lot of credit card bills and even more now with the holidays. Why not use any extra income I earn to help make those extra payments. I’m long winded and a sales person by nature. Why not do what I can do best - talk. So we’ll see how exciting I can make these posts. I know that I’ve read and learned a lot at some of the other blogs. Who knows, one of these posts may be of some benefit to you. Maybe this one. Want to try it out for yourself? Just click on the icon to the right and sign up for yourself.

Hi there!
Not much going on today but wanted to say hi anyway. For those of you who remember my post last week about the Kitchen Aid mixers, I got so many favorable comments from people who have them and they last forever. I decided to do a little research. You know how lots of places have a spot to review the items for other shoppers? Well most of the less expensive mixers didn’t get the most favorable reviews so I decided to go ahead and get her the Kitchen Aid. She’s gonna have a fit, so I’m gonna blame it all on you guys. lol. Actually I found one at Target on sale, someone posted about a coupon site so I got 10% off, my cash back for being an ebates member and FREE shipping. Couldn’t beat it. So thanks all.

So I’ve been hanging out at the chats over at SBB for their Holiday party. It’s been pretty lucrative so far with nice giveaways and it’s always good to see old friends. There’s a chat at noon today EST, stop by if you get a chance.

If you are on Blogger and use the Slide for your layouts/pictures and know how to get them to stick on top, please email me at carjaziscraps “at” gmail “dot” com. I’m sure I could figure it out but that would make me think way too hard this morning.

One last thing I heard on the radio today that made me feel old. Ten years ago today the comedienne Chris Farley passed away. Strangely it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago, but also feels like it was. Does that make sense? The Chippendale dance skit with him and Patrick Swayze has always been one of my favorite SNL skits ever. Useless trivia.

Have a great day and scrap happy!
