One of the most unforgettable experiences I have online
January 8, 2009After experiencing blog deletions, I tried to learn about web hosting. Glad to purchase my first web hosting with blue host (BH). Gosh, they are one of the best. Their buttons are easy to use and navigate.
When I’ve decided to purchase a domain in which I’m the second owner, I am having a hard time hosting it with BH since they are tight with domain ownership and they are asking me a particular username and password since that domain is still an add-on from another hosting which I didn’t know. Too bad! I should have checked it first before purchasing that domain. Anyway, since I already purchased it and I am having a hard time making it as a blog, I need to make another step. I asked the company on where I bought and I even give them a screen shot from my hosting about the situation and their answer is that they are only selling it. If they didn’t know that it’s still an add-on from another hosting, I also didn’t know about since I’m only a customer. Well, I just wanted to know the reason since that particular hosting is not a small one and I’m afraid that I’ll be in trouble with that domain. Thanks God I’m not in trouble since it’s an expiring domain and thus it’s for sale in the market or for total deletion when it’s not being purchased.
So, I told my friend about my experience and she said everything will be fine. She also said that she will ask one of our friends to host for it. But I want to have my own since I need to customize my themes. Well, there is no other thing that comes into my mind that time but to purchase another hosting. I paid around 40 something bucks for my 2nd hosting plus the domain privacy of 8 bucks plus. I tried to read more on that particular site of which I will not mention since I don’t like their system. He-he-he! I tried to purchase another privacy thing and like business registration thingy in which I didn’t use it for I don’t have any business to register for I’m only a small blogger.
When I finished paying, my blog is up after they set up my hosting. It’s okay for me that I need to wait for several hours for I learn some lessons. But, you know what? I wasn’t able to gain back my investment from it the way I expected it.
You want to know the result? I just used that blog in importing my files from the 3 blogs I have made with the other blogging platform. That time, the version of that blog is still 2.6.1, so it’s easy for me to import files. Thus, my conclusion is that domain is not meant for paid blogging. God gave it to me to save my other blogs. Well, I can’t used my domains under my BH hosting since I already upgraded it with the newer version in which it will not import files from that blogging platform.
So, all in all, I don’t have any regrets of purchasing that domain, with the domain privacies along with the web hosting and other things since it saved not just one blog but three blogs that I have. And that’s one of the most unforgettable experiences I have online. I’m thankful that I experienced it for it gives me some knowledge about web hosting and the like.
Add your site URL
October 18, 2008Google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl is what I used in submitting my site/s in Google. And I’m sure this is being used by everybody. This is one way of indexing a site each time the Googlebot will crawl. So, for new bloggers, try to submit or add your site URL to Google through that link. Anyway, with my experience recently, most of my sites are all cache quickly.
See if your site is being cache
October 14, 2008Wow! I’m pretty amazed with the cache of my site. I just changed my theme photos recently and it’s being cached right away.
Now, speaking of cache, I know most of you knew already how to do it. But I’m posting this for newbie as a tip for them on how to see the cache of their sites. Newbie, in order for you to see your site if it’s being cache by Google, just type this on the search section of your browser: cache:http://www.putyoursitename.com. For example with my site, it is cache:http://www.glaringinideas.com (see the result below).
There is also another way in searching if your site is being cache by Google and the result is still the same. Just open google.com and type cache:http://www.putyoursitename.com to see if your site is really cached. Proper cache of a blog site is one of the requirements of most companies so try to see if your site is REALLY having its cache.
English-Grammar-Spelling Editor
October 9, 2008In order for you to have articles explicable enough most especially when English is your second language, you should be having an English-grammar-spelling editor. And the best editor is MS-Word. Just purchase the Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2007 for the price is affordable. Rest assured when you will decide to purchase this software your article will be free of highlights or fragments and that, you can come up with a better, not hard to understand compositions. Well, at least if it’s not perfect for others, it won’t be having some highlights when it will be edited by them using their own word editors.
Actually, there is a free word editor similar with MS-Word. I know you are familiar with this OpenOffice.org. But the last time I used their free software, they don’t have a grammar editor though they have word counts and thesaurus together with other features same as MS-Word.
Since I need a grammar editor, so that’s why I’ve decided to buy MS-Word earlier this year so as to help me create readable comprehensible articles. And with this, I’m hoping I do have decipherable articles and not hard to understand though my words are just mostly simple.
