Hunting For Your Perfect Credit Card
May 21, 2008
Getting a credit card can be a difficult thing with the amount of credit card issuers around it can be a nightmare to determine just which one is the right one for you, and if you have bad credit history then the problem just gets twice as hard.
One place to find ome help is a web site called Credit-Land. They are a “finance related site” who specialise in credit cards. They provide good information about the different types of 0% Credit Cards and other types of credit cards on offer.
The credit cards are even devided up into categories such as credit cards for people with bad credithistory and Balance Transfer Credit Cards. Plus lots more such as ones that re highly recommended by the web site.
So if you are in need of a new credit card (I know I am) then get yourself along to Credit-Land and you will find all the information on their site that you will need to help make up your mind.

What Plugins Do I Use?
May 15, 2008
I have a number of plugins installed on this blog and some of them I feel should be on every blog that is online today. They help you get the most out of your blog and whilst there are other blogs who have better plugins they normally keep their list a secret.
Today I will expose to you (oo-er missus!) all to my list of plugins that help me keep I Need Discipline, Dean Saliba Dot Com and Wrestling Gazette in working order.
Adman - a plugin that I use to insert adverts before, after and in the middle of posts. Works with all ad code.
Akismet - This keeps my blog nice and neat from spam, it will catch about 99.9% of the spam, I’d rather get one or two spam comments to moderate a day than about 50-100.
Brian’s Threaded Comments - Does what it says on the tin, it threads your comments so you know who is replying to who.
Buy Me a Beer - A plugin that offers the reader a chance to donate money to you. I have a private modded version of this plugin to receive sponsors for the Dog Trust charity.

Related Posts - Places a link of related posts at the bottom of every post.
Sociable - A plugin that lists a number of social network links that people click to submit your posts.
StatTraq - Where in the hell would I be without this plugin? This is the plugin that tells me how many people come to my site, how they get here, what they look at and all sorts of other information.
Subscribe To Comments - Allows your readers to be notified of new comments to a certain post.
Trackbackers - Displays a list of domains that link to you the most.

Help Me Name My New Puppy
May 14, 2008
I had my dog of 13 years put to sleep about ten months ago after it was discovered, during an examination, that she had a tumour in her stomach that had gone undetected and had burst.
Well in the morning I am going to pick up my new puppy, a seven week old purebred staffordshire bull terrier. She is the only one left in the litter and she ether goes to a good home or to the RSPCA who will probably put her down.
She is black with a white patch on her face. My brother’s friend (the guy who breeds these dogs legally) has called it blackie in a lame attempt at humour, living on an estate with lots of ethnic people I can hardly keep on calling her Blackie.
So I am looking for a name for her.
I have racked my brains but can not come up with anything suitable (the best I could come up with was Scruffy after the dog on New Tricks but that sounds daft for a Staff) so I am opening the floor to people.
That is correct, I want you guys to help come up with a name for my new little friend.
To help you I will tell you that:
- She is very friendly and puts her head into everything (don’t leave you bag around or she’ll be in it!)
- She is rather dopey
- She chews anything and everything in sight.
- She loves her food.
If you can think of a name that will suit her then simply leave a comment on my blog and I will paw (pun intended) over the names and announce the result. Your prize shall be that nice warm glow knowing that you helped name my new best friend.

New Design & Great Free Offer
May 12, 2008
As you will have probably seen (well, if you are a regular visitor at least) I have given the blog a complete makeover with a spanking new design. To be honest the old design was very generic and boring and I thought it needed replacing. I am very happy with the new layout.
I have also monetized the blog a lot better than I did with the previous design. All I have done is used a mixture of Google Adsense (both banners and ad links) and Adbrite adverts. I was careful not to over do things as I did not want the adverts to take the eye away from the content, which is of course why you are here.
Not many other blogs will be willing to do this but if you like the way I have monetized this blog then I have a litle bit of good news. I am giving away the modified version of this template and it is for a price that I think everyone will agree on!
FREE!
That is correct, all I ask in return is that you join my mailing list and I will send you the modified template in a zip file via email.
Joining the list means that you will be kept up to date with the blog, everytime a new blog post or blog page is created people on my list will be automatically emailed and informed about it!

Google PR Update
May 8, 2008
Google PR has been updated and this blog has risen fro ma PR0 to a PR1 blog.
OK so it was a PR3 when I bought the domain but it fell to PR0 because the guy I bought it from was not using it. That is nto the point! We are on our way now!
