They say diamonds are a girls’ best friend but not all of us can afford a brilliantly cut one for our collection. Yeah you probably can save up and buy that dream piece but why wait when potentially there could be an alternative choice. Ever heard of White Shapphire or White Topaz or the very populuar Zirconia? Well these the alternative “white” stones I am referring to. Check out the info below and you may not have to wait for that “diamond” after all :)

With the advent of social network sites, as well as blogs and forums, a person or business’ reputation is partially affected by the reviews and opinions of countless strangers who may never have used the service. In order to monitor how a corporation is seen by its clients and customers, both current and prospective, a service like http://www.reputation.com can prove invaluable.

The basic service offered by this site is to check your current standing by a variety of methods and parameters—to be able to know how well a business ranks in others’ opinions. This is a great tool but not necessarily powerful enough by itself. The site also offers more advanced services such as up-to-date monitoring and management.

Online reputation management allows a company to shine on the internet. This is accomplished through several means, one of which is managing online search results. Since search results can contain outdated or inaccurate information, being able to have a measure of control over these is critical. Sensitive information can easily spread by the use of forums and blogs, having reputation management services helps keep information out of the hands of the general public when it may be detrimental to a company.

By using online reputation management services, one can keep track of a company’s current standing and take preventative measures to ensure that reputation is not tarnished, as well as direct action to resolve any issues should they arise. Toward this end, http://www.reputation.com is highly recommended.

Naoko approached me with a request for a blog header that would be more eye catching and shows off her blog potential. I decided the best way is to have a full banner and remove the ad next to the header. I then create a montage of some of her images and the result is as seen below.

The look before…

If you are into Japanese food, Cooking Japanese Style is definitely the blog to visit!

Cindi, my blogger friend approached me once for a wordpress blog makeover. Unfortunately since my wordpress skill is less to be desired, I had to turn down the offer. However, when she approached me again to makeover her Blogger blog I was thrilled to bits :)

Cindi wanted the same picture for header, so I just cleaned it a bit and made it nicer to fit the overall theme.

This was the before look..

Before I left for Singapore, I got a chance to do my very first blog makeover on WORDPRESS! Jamie was blogging on another blogging template called MovableType and wanted to switch to wordpress for personal reasons. However, since she loved the template she already had, all she wanted me to do was to do an identical layout from her existing layout. So here it is. I did the basic layout coding, install the header, put in the background, make sure the colors are the same and Jamie did the widget installation herself :) So folks.. yes.. LadyJava Creations is now doing WORDPRESS blog makeover!

I’ve been asked many times about the differences between blogging with Blogspot and WordPress. Personally for me, I don’t see much difference in the two platforms. A lot of blogger feels that you’re only a real blogger if you use WordPress. Well although I myself have moved to WordPress (for businesses purposes) , I can tell you that I was very much a “real” blogger even back then when I was blogging with blogspot.

I was still making money from my blogs then (on blogspot) so definitely no difference in that department. Although having said that, there are potentially a lot more opportunity for you to earn more when you are using the WordPress platform as for reason advertisers prefers you to have static IP (which is what you will have if you have your own hosting) or there are advertisers programs that just need you to insert some php codings and blogspot does not allow that.

Potentially there is also a risk of losing your blog on one fine day simply because blogger decide that your blog was a spammy blog and with WordPress that won’t happen .. unless your hosting is gone.

This brings me to hosting issues. Reliable and dependable hosting is definitely deciding factor after you decide to move to WordPress for whatever reason.

I use hostgator and I’ve not had any complains with them. No sudden offline alert that my blogs are not reachable, their customer service is very helpful most times and they have been around for years.

If you decide to move to WordPress and wanna give hostgator a try, here’s how you can try them out for a month at only $0.01. If for some reason you are not satisfied they offer a 45days money back guarantee.

Here’s how:

  1. All you need to is go to Hostgator site. As shown below, if you already have a domain name, enter the “I currently have a domain box” (and if you don’t I suggest getting one from godaddy first. I suggest getting your domain separate from your hosting so that it’s easier if you decide to change hosting later).
  2. DO NOT CLICK on the “Continue to Step 2” until you replace the “Enter a Coupon Code” to ladyjavadeal
    How to
  3. Now click on the “Continue to Step 2”
  4. There will be three package types to choose from. I would recommend the “Hatchling” if you only have one domain name or the “Baby” if you are hosting more than 2 domains.
  5. After selecting the package, you will see that under the “Billing cycle” box will reflect as “0/mo” how to
  6.  You will now proceed to finish entering your registration info
  7. After making sure all is order, click on the “Create Account” butonhow to

 

Within a few minutes you will get an email from hostgator with all your login info. They will also request you to send in scanned photo id of yourself for verifying purpose. Don’t worry if you dont have a scanned copy, just use your camera phone and take a photo of it and send it to them.  That would be sufficient too.

If you do continue with them and opt for the monthly payment, please make sure you send your payment on time or risk your site being suspended.

I hope that is useful and do let me know if you need any help.

If you run a business and a business blog or website, you’ll know that making your presence known and creating an awareness to you or your business is essential to ensure success. That is where search engine optimization and social network tools like Facebook and Twitter comes in. It is important that your clients, future or repeat, know what you offering and can find you easily and since “Google” has become an verb, you need to get on that first page when potential clients search for those keywords that matches what you do.

Another avenue to put those keywords in super booster mode is to Buy Links from reputable companies such as Link Vehicle, a SEO advertising company that connects advertisers with top notch publishers all over the world.
