GreenBucks

We stay and wait for my husband to come from the office for about 2 hours in SM Megamall every Monday and Wednesday. By we I mean my two younger children and I.

it is dinner time when we go there. We bring milk drinks with us as their drink as they have their dinner. We usually just stay in the mall’s basement food court near the parking area we chose to avail of.

The children usually choose Greenwich for food. We used to order those meals with fried chicken, pizza, macaroni salad and drinks. Lately we have been ordering their rice meals like Chicken a la King or Adobo or we go for another kind of food from a different food store.

Anyway, the Greenwich Macaroni Salad is often LEFT UNEATEN. The kids do not like this and neither do I.

Why they have to put fresh tomato and sliced lettuce bits in the macaroni salad, puzzles me so just because. Somebody clue me on this, please 😀 This part of the meal goes to waste so we do not buy these anymore.

The children love macaroni salad, they do, but this one is not a favorite.

GreenBucks went to the WordCamp Philippines last September 6, 2008.

The lectures that I have attended were the following: Blogging 102 which is basically about how to advertise and have contests (plus where to get the prizes to be given away) to increase the blog’s juice on readership and traffic.

Then I attended the Building a Blogging Community. This is very timing since my friends and I just launched a new group writing blog, the FilipinoMomBlog.

I also attended the lecture on plug ins and SEO.

Then Mr WordPress himself Matt Mullenweg, presented the new developments for WordPress including the WordPress 2.7 which will be available in November.

I had fun learning new things except for one major mishap. My (Sandisk) SD card decided to go nuts so I lost all photos of the lectures that I took. I just took several photos again but the new WordPress 2.7 photos were in those that were probably lost 🙁

Incidentally, some of my photos were recovered last night. Woohoo! (insert Plurk banana dance here) Thanks hubby!

Web hosting.

What is web hosting? How does one have an online account, a blog, a corporate website? How much does not need to put up for these services? What are the best web hosting services being offered in the market today? Is the web hosting provider secure? What about data recovery? What about the other technical aspects of web hosting?

These are just some of the questions that would-be bloggers and corporate/business owners would want to know details about when they get interested in setting up online sites. Blogging and putting up corporate sites is not just about writing and putting up photos. One should learn at least basic technical aspects of putting up such sites.

If one wants to have his own domain and be hosted by web hosting services, then one should be able to understand the basic ins and outs of this endeavor.

One of the best ways to learn about web hosting is to read articles and web hosting tutorials. Sure, it is good to listen to the advices of friends who know about these things but reading makes one understanding these things better. Web hosting rating should be scrutinized too, to know the leaders in the market.

Also, one of the concerns would be the cost of the web hosting package. For would-be bloggers, they can opt to start with a starter package. They can probably get a different package once posts have been made and traffic to the site has been increasingly going up.

For corporate sites, they can opt to get the packages for exactly what they need to accommodate everything they may want to put up in their site.

If its any consolation and also for added credibility, better check web hosting awards to also know which companies have been given due recognition in the field of web hosting services.

Check out this web hosting site to view the packages being offered.
