But for the benefit of those who do not have an idea about Blogger and WordPress.org; they are platforms used for managing, maintaining and updating a blog. The duo, are the most famous blogging platforms. While blogger is brings about hosted blogs, the latter brings about self-hosted blogs.

I know how much people search for the means and ways to make money blogging even as a beginner. I once searched for such information and I have looked for several ways and methods of making money as a new blogger. But sometimes, what people look for isn't always best for them. Most bloggers in a bid to make an affiliate sale have made a lot of newbies believe that they can start making money from their blogs as soon as they create and launch it.

A good number of internet users if not all have come across and solved a captcha. Captchas are antibot checkers employed by websites to impede scam and spam. but these captchas are somewhat annoying and the latest and now most popular member of the captcha family, Google recaptcha, keeps popping up here and there in an absolutely unbearable and annoying manner. Solving captchas over the years have become somewhat harder and uncalled-for, especially with the spread and popularity of Google recaptcha. Solving captchas used to be fun and easier when users had to type in words and numbers as seen correctly but now reverse is the case as most websites have began using google recaptcha and recently, in order to have access to some websites, you need to prove that you are human! obnoxious I must say! To avoid getting stressed over selecting all roads, cars or signs, you could simply use Google Chrome browser. It's sickening that out of 10 sites you visit in a day, at...

Whatever happened to not caring about people's thoughts and rants? What happened to being yourself and fighting what you think you deserve? So long my intentions are good, why do I have to shy away? Why do I have to attempt reading people's thoughts about me?

The crowd Staring might not even care! The mouths moving probably never moved because ...

I promised myself before creating this blog, that I was going to use it as an avenue to share my struggles, be it virtually, physically and probably emotionally. But, I guess I've been a little bit too uptight in doing that! Well, I'd love to take the bull by the horn today and spill my thoughts about a worrisome pest and lifestyle. Procrastination!  What can I do? what should I do and  what's there not to do!  It's a characteristic I don't want but fail to fight off properly. It always finds its way into my head when there is something important to do and on many occasions, I lose out! I'm still fighting it in the craziest way and gaining grounds one step at a time, but I'm willing to try something different and bigger if anyone's got a better option because, I feel so far, my best haven't been good enough. If you've been a good friend of procrastination, you might want to Read mfishbein's guide on overcoming procrastina...

I've written so much about blogging to an extent that a regular visitor of my blog should have had a good knowledge of what it is all about. Blogging is a beautiful practise and it has grown bigger than just a piece of cake! Different people use do for different purpose. Some just love to share and save their life experiences, hobbies and personal life issues while may others do it for something deeper, to make money. There is a 99% chance that most bloggers have heard of “Open Source CMS, WordPress", the most popular free application for running a blog.

This is probably one of the most enticing domain promo I've ever come across online. This offer comes from Namecheap, one of the leading Domain name registrars and web hosting companies. They offer Varieties of products and services. The promo has been ongoing for a while now but it's not too late to go get a domain for your business. There are more than 10 domain extensions to choose from, but they are limited to specific extension and niches. The domain extensions in the offer are naturally more expensive than the conventional extensions. Although this promo is amazing, the extensions might not appeal to everyone, depending on what they are interested in. But getting one of them for as long as 5years is fair enough to end up bringing in that income you've always wanted. 5years is really a long time. Below is a Screenshot containing a list of the Domain extensions registrable at $0.48 for 1year or $5.58 for 5years. So, from the screenshot above, did y...
