Hello Page Rank

Oooh look, little old Jeoberpta now has a page rank 1 — how lovely. I love having page rank on my domains because it lets you know that you are doing something right and that your effort is paying off and your site is becoming more popular.

I used to have two page rank 5 sites a few years ago but I stupidly let them die out, now the highest that I have is a page rank 3.

I enjoy watching the ebb and flow on all my sites :)

Take the hassle out of adding blog pictures

One thing that I like to do on my blogs, not just here at Jeoberpta, but on all of my blogs…is include images in my posts — I think visuals always help and they add a certain style to a blog post.

What I usually do is write a post, then think about what picture would look nice and fit in with it, then I start searching free photo sites and google image search and the like — once I find one I like I have to check I am allowed to use it, save it, resize it, upload it and insert it. It’s a bit of a hassle.

Blog Pictures | acobox.com

So, was I ever glad to come across AcoBox.com a few days ago! They offer free blog pictures, but what makes it so great is that I don’t have to worry about checking if I am allowed to use the image or not — if it’s on the site it’s OK to use. I also don’t have to save it and upload it before use as they host it for me and should it need resizing, I don’t even have to do that manually as it can all be done on site.

They just took all of the hassle of adding blog pictures to posts. Hurrah.

A boring old Sunday

My day. Got up and spent 4 and a half hours online trying to restore my reality tv site that I had to switch to a new host. I still have some things to do there, and although I can access it I don’t think any one else can yet — it’s caused me lots of stress so far, and it aint over yet. I don’t even know if it’s going to be staying where it is now so I might have to move it again, nnnooooooooooooooo.

I made myself a ‘I don’t know how to cook’ style Sunday roast for one because the other half was out. This comprised of instant gravy, a microwaved chicken pie, tinned green beans and tinned potatoes.

Then I went to the gym and did some running on my elliptical, I didn’t enjoy it because I am full of cold and must be all congested because I could really feel my chest burning/hurting. I still stuck with it for 50 minutes though, yay me.

I just watched a few hours of TV. The Amazing Race Asia and Strictly Come Dancing.

And now I am going straight back to working on my sites. Curse you, Dreamhost.com.

My other sites

I love doing a lot of things in my spare time, but by far and away I spend most of my free time running websites and blogging. I simply cannot get enough of blogging. Let me tell you a little about them…

I have my ‘other’ personal site, that I have pretty much abandoned now. It’s sad but I just lost my love for it, I have run that site since 2001.

I have my reality tv site, where I post videos, news and opinions about reality tv shows from around the world and it gets a lot of traffic.

UK Bargains covers knowledge on cashback sites, freebies, killer offers and vouchers and the like. I love saving and earning money online, so it’s only fair to share my skills, right?

I have a blog all about my weight loss journey and quest to live a healthier life.

I also run a 3rd personal blog. Oooooh. That’s a lot of personal blogging huh?

All I need now is a blog about my impending nuptials and one about bingo and I’ll be set :)
