Wordpress on Windows XP

posted by: Vlad Akilov

I was browsing around the net when I saw a blog “[geeks are sexy] technology news“, they wrote up a “how to” about installing wordpress blogging software locally onto your windows xp computer.  This is very useful for people trying out new themes or just playing around with it, its also useful for people who never used it before to get used to it.  “geeks are sexy” wrote up all the steps needed to make this installation and only takes 10 minutes.  That program is called XAMPP lite.

Pay Per Post

posted by: Vlad Akilov

payperpost.com is a new site that promotes other blogs, it also pays you to review other site, doesn’t have to be a positive or a negative review.  The amount they pay you depends on the type of post. I think this is a great way to create a buzz about other sites and even your own, through the word of mouth, well in this case word of blog. And you get paid to do it, although some people might not like to make money promoting other people’s blogs on their own blog, it doesn’t even have to be a positive post, not that I’m sure of, it could be negative and still will get visitors, because of the talk over it.

Final thoughts
I think that this is great for everyone, because the advertisers get popularity and the bloggers get money, although keep your posts honest, and make your point across about the blog. Great site worth a click.
