My friend Linda wants to start a Personal Chef business.  She’s been doing a lot of research about it and thinks that there would be a good market for it where she lives.  She’s always loved to cook, and I have to admit that she’s never cooked a meal that I didn’t like!  I think that’s a great idea for a business for her!  So she’s in the process of getting set up with marketing and planning her service contracts, etc.

She asked me to help her to put up her website.  So I’ve arranged to get her URL for her and am now looking into the right website hosting service for her to use.

I like the webhostinggeeks.com website because they rank and rate a lot of the best hosting services.  I especially like their green webhosting reviews; I want to throw business to any company that is working proactively towards improving our environment!

I like how they explain what green webhosting is, and how it can help protect our environment.  Their list of green hosting companies shows some are wind or solar powered, some are carbon neutral, and some claim to be 300% green.  And I find it very appealing that the rates for these green website hosting companies are very reasonable.

We came home from camp early this weekend. The baby was cranky and the weather was rainy, so we decided to pack it up and come home.

It’s a good thing that we came home when we did because when we got home we found that a tree had been struck by lightning and fallen up against the house.  So we needed the time here to clear up that mess.  It would have been awful to come home late Sunday night to find that when we both had to get up early the next morning!  Isn’t it funny how life throws you a curveball sometimes!  Thankfully there wasn’t any serious damage to the house, just cosmetic stuff.

We had no sooner finished cleaning up that mess than we got a phone call from the boss that he wants us to help teach his daughter how to create her own website. So she’ll be coming over tomorrow and I’ll be working with her, showing her the ropes.

I’ll be helping her to get her own domain, and help her to decide which webhosting service to use. I’ll direct her to take a look at the webhostingrating.com website and read a few of their articles about webhosting and their reviews of which webhosting services would best fit her needs. I think that they are a good resource to turn to when looking at getting a new webhost.  They review hundreds of services, not just a few, so it may take a while!

Then I’ll give her a crash course on using Front Page, and creating a blog

As a young mother, you can imagine that I don’t always get to watch my favorite television shows when they are airing because my parental duties interfere with leisure time!  That’s why I was glad to find a great website -Spreety TV Online : Watch TV Shows Online Free.  This website lists television shows you can watch online for free – all in one quick easy location!  So I can find my favorite show – Burn Notice – for example without a lot of searching around the web!  I love it!

Just when you think you’ve heard of everything, you hear of a dating website for horse lovers!  My cousin Stacy tells me that she has found out about a dating club for horse lovers and she has taken advantage of their offer of FREE sign-up to see if she might be able to meet “Mr. Right.”  My hubby butted in with his “two cents” and said he thought she was more likely to meet “Mr. Ed!”  (Smart aleck!)

When we finished laughing, Stacy told me that she heard about the website from a friend of hers and she decided to check it out.  Stacy claims that it is a social networking group for horse lovers that want to meet other horse lovers, and it doesn’t have to just be people looking for romance, it could also be for people who just want to make new friends who share their love of horses. Besides, having an equestrian cupid might not be so awful!

Stacy has always loved horses and rides whenever she gets the chance.  She’s been talking about buying her own horse someday and has started to look around to see where she could board it when she gets one.  She’d love to find someone to go riding with!

I just received an email from a cousin that lives in a very rural area of Australia.  I was so surprised to get an email from her!  The last I’d heard from her was by US Mail, and she complained that she lived in such a rural area that she could not get Internet Access!  That news alone was a big shock to me because I’ve had Internet access for such a long time; it seemed to me that she would have had Internet access for a while now too!
