New Domain – Cheap? Contest

May 23, 2006 by Tricia

I need some suggestions. Contest involved!


I want to get a new domain but I don’t know which company to buy one from. I bought my last two directly from my hosting company, but they charged me close to $15 per domain. I’m pretty sure I can get a new domain or two for a little less.

Any ideas?

I can’t use Go-Daddy either. My hosting company has some kind of problem with Go- Daddy domains. I think they don’t transfer properly from one host to another.

I want to move all of my bl0gs over to one domain. Which will mean moving Tricia’s Musings and perhaps Odd Planet over to the new site. I’m not even sure what I’m going to do with Odd Planet. I was thinking about re-designing it, but I think I’ll hold off and possibly move it first.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good domain name? Something easy to remember, and not too long?

Now here’s the contest part:

1. Give me some suggestions on where I can purchase a domain for a low price. If I decide to go with the company that you suggest I’ll give that person 250 BL0GEXPLOSION or BL0GMAD credits. If the company is suggested more than once I may only give credits out to the first person to suggest that company.

2. Name the Domain

Suggest a short but memorable domain name. If I decide to use it (and can secure it!) I’ll give the winner 1000 BL0GEXPLOSION or BL0GMAD credits.

3. I may choose to go with a designer, especially if I move Odd Planet. It desperately needs a re-design. I like WordPress so the two new sites and likely Odd Planet will be WordPress sites. If I decide to be too lazy to do it myself I might get a designer to help me out. Suggest a designer that does wordpress sites (not too expensive, we might be talking three sites here!) and I’ll give the winner 500 BL0GEXPLOSION or BL0GMAD credits if I go with a designer.

Who do I choose?

May 19, 2006 by Tricia

I put my site up for rent early this morning and when I checked there were 10 bidders! How am I supposed to choose?

Do I choose one of the youngest sites to promote it? I did think about doing that, but of the first 5 sites that I listed below one was created in May, and the other four in April! Arghhh.

Ok back to the old stand-by … who has bid here before and who has bid most often without yet being selected? Why that would be Noi from Voicing my thoughts, of course!

Noi has just finished redesigning her site and changing addresses too! She’s very happy with her new design so it would be nice of you to stop by and tell he what you think.

In her own words:
“You can call me Noi! From Singapore, this blog consists of thoughts I have chosen to share. Thoughts shape the person that you are and that is what this blog all about. Shaping myself under hot pressure so I can be a diamond. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! I believe in the law of sow and reap and whatever you do you will get it back. So if you do good, good will come to you if not..u know what will come to you.”

I’ve found her site to be very thoughtful and inspirational and I hope that you will too.

Bad Rating?

May 17, 2006 by Tricia

OMG! Someone gave my site a really bad rating over at BL0GEXPLOSION! All 1’s ??? Come on … only a site that either doesn’t load at all, or that’s full of racial slurs and hate deserves all 1’s. Really.

I don’t care all that much about my rating, but this is so out of whack. I wonder if there is someone going around on BE, like there is at BL0GMAD, giving everyone bad ratings?

It just seems so mean! It also makes me feel very distrustful of people too. Was it someone I battled against yesterday? (The rating occurred last night) Someone that saw my site in the BL0G rocket? Or even someone that I talked to in the SB? I’m trying to be friendly, perhaps make some friends and most of all have some fun, but someone doing something like this really makes me wonder about people.

Want to do me a favor and get my site rating back up to where it should be? BTW where it should be is for you guys to determine, I’m not begging for a high rating, just a fair one. Review my site on BE and tell me what you really think.

Thanks!

The Battle Rock Spot

May 12, 2006 by Tricia

My tenant this week is a law student whose studies are over for the summer. Unfortunately he won’t be sitting idly enjoying his summer vacation as he will be moving to another state and starting a new job. No rest for the wicked weary.

His most recent posts are amusing tales about a computer illiterate dry cleaner, and a robot like grocery store clerk. I’ve enjoyed his writing as I’ve gone through his posts, and I hope you will too. Visit the Battle Rock Spot and judge for yourself.

Some great reading can be found by visiting the other sites that bid on my space this week:

Get a Grip on Life

Winged Emotion

Advertising for Success

Jenster’s Blog

Long, Slow, Beautiful Dance

Consult a Goddess

Meltwater. Torrents. Meanderings. Delta

Enjoy!

What’s a Kid Zoo?

May 4, 2006 by Tricia

I had a really hard time deciding who to pick as a roomie this week. It was a very tough choice, but I kept coming back to a site that I’ve been reading for a while now- My Life in the kid Zoo.

Undercover Angel- as the owner of the site is known, is the mother of 4 children. Wow! Many of her posts are stories about interactions with her kids. They are well written, and often humorous. One of her latest posts is a bit sad, her husbands son is in foster care right now thanks to his ex, and Angel and Jake are very worried about this child and are hoping to get custody of him soon. Please give her some support on this issue. Oh and read her Thursday Thirteen – 13 Most Embarrassing Moments – it’s so funny.

Spreading some blog love, the other bidders were:

Stupid People Shouldn’t Breed – Observations about the stupid things people do, well written, humorous, also rates other sites on occasion. I liked this site enough that I plan to start reading it regularly. Check it out for yourself.

Useless Advice from Useless Men – Hilarious site. Write in with your questions and get advice from the useless men. Great reading.

All Night.org – Interesting site, latest post is about a creepy guy in the movie theater – sounds like a stalker, check it out.

– Personal diary, inspirational phrases, holiday photos

The T-Stop – Amazing writing, this is a site that I’m going to read regularly from now on. I enjoyed every post that I read on her main page.

Full Metal Photographer – Always has great photographs. I enjoy viewing this site daily to see what the latest photo is about.
