Now that Shawn is working again, there are a few things I’m wanting to try and save up for that I’ve been lusting after (for ages).

One being an Apple iPhone! I’m just dying to have one and I’ve finally made up my mind that I just want to save up for an unlocked one so that I can keep my current phone number and stay with T-mobile.

My biggest problem is that I am reluctant to buy one off eBay. I’m not entirely sure why but I’m really scared of a scam or getting ripped off with something so expensive. The couple times I’ve bought phones on eBay, the first one (a treo, I think) the keys didn’t work well and I had to ship it back for an unlocked Blackberry 7290. The damn thing was infact, not unlocked so I had to purchase an unlock code.

Of course there was an error during the unlocking process because the person selling the “unlock codes” did not have enough credits to give me a code so I had to buy yet another code from another seller.

I guess I just don’t trust people and I really have no clues what to look for when it comes to buying an iPhone on eBay. Am I protected by paypal when it comes to scams or does it depend on the seller?

I’ve never had a need for eye glasses but if for some reason I ever do, I would most likely alternate between contact lenses and framed glasses. Eye glasses can be cute and stylish but after being without them for so long I don’t know that I could get used to seeing myself in them or even just wearing them.

Once my friend (or cousin, I can’t remember which) had some samples of colored contact lenses and I swear I struggled and struggled to get it in my eye! What a pain!

Leptorexin is yet another diet pill that many people will try in hopes of it being the solution to their weight loss troubles.

I personally don’t believe there is a diet pill that is actually a safe and healthy way to lose weight and believe me, if there were, I’d try it.

I wouldn’t consider myself to be having trouble with my weight at the moment, I’m just lazy. And I really like food. I’ve been wanting to start an exercising routine by following the videos by SparkPeople on you tube. I’ve heard lots of good things about them!

Stop seeking, copying, resizing, uploading, and inserting blog pictures!

I am a blogger. I am a blogger who also considers herself to be somewhat of a photographer in the aspect that I love to be behind a camera. I don’t know if that fact technically deems me photographer, yet I do know that simply means I have a love for photos.

However, not all bloggers share the similar love for being behind a camera or even composing a photo. This is where blog pictures comes in. Everyone knows a sea of grey text is hard on your eyes and far from entertaining.

Blog pictures removes the complexity of finding, linking, and hosting images for blog. Acobox collects, screens, and hosts quality pictures for bloggers that adds to the quality of a writer’s content without pressuring them to find the images or a place to host them on the web.

Another important factor of using images on the web is copyright infringement. I speak from experience when I say that you have to be on your tip toes to not use an image that is copyrighted! NEVER use an image that you do not have permission to! Blog pictures assures that you will not be using an image that you are not granted permission to, therefore you do not have to worry about unnecessary or unexpected lawsuits!

If you just don’t have the time to be bothered with images for your blog, but would like to have the spice and interestingness added to your writing, please check out Blog Pictures. They provide everything you need without the worries that encompass finding images on your own.

Within recent months, I’ve finally spent a lot of time to get a better grasp of CSS and Wordpress themes. It really excites me because I feel like the freedom to create and modify my own themes as I want to allows more room for creativity. I also feel a sense of pride when my site or blog can wear a theme without a credit link.

Since becoming more comfortable with creating my own themes from scratch, I’ve developed a new pet peeve and that is when people use a free premade Wordpress theme, modify it, and remove the link back to the original creator.

I understand you put a lot of work into the presentation of your blog, I’ve been there. I’ve created graphics and sought out a WP theme that I thought would be easiest to edit because there were times when making a theme from scratch seemed impossible. However, just because you’ve edited something, doesn’t make it entirely yours–regardless.

What should you do if you’ve chosen to edit a previously made Wordpress theme?
1. Before you do ANYTHING, if you have found a theme that you think would easily incorporate the graphics you have made/envision to make EMAIL THE AUTHOR!!
2. Ask for permission to edit their theme if it is not clearly stated anywhere that you are free to do so!
3. Once you have permission to edit the theme, do so without deleting the original credit link.
4. Finally, you’ve created a look for your blog yet nowhere on our website is there notification that you did so. My answer to this is to add your own link to the footer that designates that you edited the original theme, eg:

So many times I have seen a blogger edit an original theme, remove the credit link located in the footer, followed by a blog that says “I used so and so’s theme.” I’m sorry! That is not practicing proper nettiquite! If you can’t create your own theme do not remove the credit of someone who can!
