ReviewMe launches. . . blogging makes money?

I just read Paul’s review of ReviewMe. Apparently, this service is open to anyone who has a blog or wishes to pay to have their products or services reviewed on a blog can join this service for free. Once you create an account you can connect with companies who are willing to pay you for your review.

I have to agree with Paul that this seems a bit dubious but hey you never know what people are willing to pay for I suppose. :) When you submit a sire various factors such as your Technorati ranking are automatically configured and a price is set for your blog. The site is very straight forward and easy to use, but I wish I was worth a little but more but hey I guess you can’t have it all. I will try the service out and let you know what I think about it. Go give it a shot, you can’t beat the price. :)

Update: Just letting you know that the site is having a contest that demos how the service works. If they accept this review I will be getting paid for it, I just thought I should disclose that. Also feel free to list me as a trackback or to comment on this service or what you think about bloggers taking pay to review products. Does this lead to less impartial bloggers?

Vote early, vote often

I voted today (I even have a fancy sticker to prove it) and I think that you should vote so that your views may be known in your government. Whether you voted or not what is your thoughts on the present Democratic process?

Update: Oops, I forgot to hit publish so now this is old. Uh well. :)

Well that was a lot of “fun”

Well I have now finished restoring everything to the way they should be! I have also promised myself to stop tinkering so much but I’m not sure how long that will last. ;) I have also played around with the style sheet as the default K2 style is a bit boring if functional. Please let me know what you think about the layout and if you find any bugs/glitches. I hope everyone has a great week! :)

A little too much tinkering

I’m not sure what I did but somehow I screwed up my wp-content folder on the server. I have since deleted it and will be restoring things from a backup that I have. Sorry about the downtime folks. :/

Some questions for pet owners

I was just wondering if anyone knew of some resources (books, websites, etc.) that might offer me some insight for the care of Cats or Guinea Pigs. I have one of each and want to make sure that I am taking good care of them. My cat Thor has an ear infection so he can’t walk well at present (another reason that I haven’t been around much) and its a full time job feeding him blended food and whatnot. As for the Guinea Pig Cavi, he is really skiddish around me and runs when I try to pick him up. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? Ive only had 2 cats who ran away and this is my first Guinea Pig so I woudl really appreciate it if anyone had any suggestions, etc. :)

The Mediacom Saga

My connection problems over the last few weeks have at last been resolved so I should be back into posting more regularly. Did you miss me?
