According to Wikipedia, " Consumerism is a social and economic order that is based on the systematic creation and fostering of a desire to purchase goods and services in ever greater amounts." Today's technology was brought about by consumerism, agree? The desire to improve one's life, how to easily deal with everyday's chores, how to manage the office effectively and efficiently, how to maximize the use of the resources available and more are all brought about by consumerism. Through the use of the different media available today, more desires are created. Buyers or consumers are enticed to buy more than what they really need. But then again, the question will be: "How do you know or measure which one among these things does a person really need?" Some would answer, well, if he can live without it then he doesn't need it. Going to the extreme, there are many people who loiter the streets, without a home. They were able to live without home but does...

As I've mentioned in my Domain Renewal post, billings arrived few days ago. Time to pay my domain name registration bills. As a blogger who wants to earn money online, you don't really need to buy a domain name. There are many free alternatives like Blogger, WordPress, Xanga, Multiply, and more. If you just started blogging and has not yet proven there's real money online just by writing, then why not use the free alternatives? No registration and annual fees on domain name registration and web hosting fees to worry about. In short, no bills payment to think of. Do I earn that much? Well, not much, too. That's because I have my own lazy periods. :) If you checked my archives, there are periods I had not posted for months. But I do earn a few dollars even during my lazy period and that's what makes blogging enjoyable. Well, for those months I have not posted anything, for sure, I am busy with something else offline. Not really lazy, though. Anyway, since bills payme...

If you are blogger and you are using Facebook, then you are probably familiar with the application NetworkedBlogs which is one of the tools being used by bloggers to syndicate their web articles. I have not been a regular blogger for sometime and I have not yet explored all of its functionalities so what I'll write is what I had observed. The first time I used NetworkedBlogs, my feeds were pulled as soon as I published my post. Since I had not yet then automated the publication on my Facebook page, I had to manually syndicate the feeds. That was before. Then, I changed my settings such that newly published posts will be automatically pulled and published/syndicated. Unfortunately, the pulling portion is not as fast as before. Maybe, it's because the number of users have already increased. Another thing that is worth mentioning as per NetworkedBlogs FAQ is that the frequency of pulling the feeds is dependent on the number of followers. The lower number of followers, the longer t...

It's that time of the year again when there's nothing you can do but pay for the registration of domain name if you want to keep it. Otherwise, it will soon be snatched immediately especially when it is a pricey one. Since I started registering my own domain names, I've tried different domain registrars. Currently, most of my domains are registered with Namecheap. A few of the features I love with NameCheap includes Domain consolidation - see all your domains you own here in a single page. You don't need to remember individual domain names and their codes. Easy to use domain control panel which lets you perform almost all activities like setting up DNS, changing contact information, etc. You will also have features that will allow you to delegate control to another user. You can grant access to all or limited features based on your requirement. You should also have an account, if you buy a domain name from someone and would like to use the free transfer between...
