I will be the first to admit that I am not all that organized when it comes to my files. I work from a couple of different computers, and because of my job and doing reviews I switch up quite a bit. So I end up with files on the desktop of several places. This… Continue Reading

Guest Post: 5 Essential Tips for Keeping Your Data Safe in the Cloud
Cloud storage could just be the best thing since sliced bread, what with seemingly unlimited storage capabilities, low cost, and quick, easy access to files. They even have something of a built-in protective measure thanks to the fact that data is spread out over many servers instead of being confined to just one like a… Continue Reading

Emma.com – A New Marketplace for Moms
As a mother it is great to connect with other moms to exchange info, talk about the whoas of motherhood (yes.. there are some), get together for playdates, or even swap and sell baby items that we no longer need.

U.S. Senate, the Internet Does Not Need Censorship
I told a friend last night that I was not “going black” today because I tend to stay out of political issues. However, that does not mean that I don’t have something to say about it. We live in the United States. *Supposedly* one of the big deals about this is that we have free… Continue Reading
Google Friend Connect is Going Away
Google Friend Connect (GFC) was the cute little box over there in the sidebar —–> that is similar to a Facebook LIKE box. GFC allows readers to ‘sign-in’ or join a blogging site. This basically just shows that they like you. And, they will see your blog listed in their account if they log into… Continue Reading

Do you remember when you had your first child (or 2) and you were very good about keeping track of milestones, etc. in the nice little book that you got at your baby shower? Well as time went on you probably made less and less entries. And poor child #3 did not have a book… Continue Reading

Customer support via social media is a big thing these days. There are several companies that have presences on Twitter, Facebook, and now even Google+.

Have You Setup a Google Plus Page for Your Blog? I Did.
I did it a few days ago. It was super easy. Almost too easy. Once pages are setup, some have expressed difficulty in figuring out how to switch between your own profile and your page profile. I admit that they need to make this option more prominent. On your main page, there is a little… Continue Reading

Keep Your Family Organized with an AboutOne.com Giveaway
The hot topic right now is indeed back to school. My kids are in their 3rd week back. I just talked about needing to remember teachers, classes, field trips, gym dates, etc. Ugh! It is SO hard to keep up with 4 kids. It really is. And they are still young, but I keep thinking… Continue Reading

Consider BongoUS.com for Your International Shipping Needs
If you run a US business that sells tangible product, international shipping is probably your least favorite part of the process. Heck, even non-business owners usually dread going to the post office or local shipping office for US shipping! And, it is just as frustrating for consumers. As a matter of fact, just the other… Continue Reading
Guest Post: Firefox for Android Released
Some would not think that a browser for your phone is all that important. But if you are a geek, you realize that it is. I downloaded Firefox on my Evo a couple of days ago and it’s really nice. I recently switched back to using Firefox on Windows versus Google Chrome to see what… Continue Reading

Yes, I have UK readers. Quite a few actually. And just like here in the US, they use broadband internet too. The below article helps our UK friends shuffle through the broadband offerings.

Amazon.com Just Fired Me
All in one week Governor Quinn has abolished the death penalty, and gotten all us lowly little Amazon.com affiliates fired. Ugh. This is the 2nd “blog income” blow to me this week. You may have seen me tweet about the other. I may post about that soon. Anyway, it’s not like I was making a ton… Continue Reading
Moved to Hostgator + WordPress 3.1 Upgrade
Ok. So this site and 1 other are now fully running on Hostgator. It took a couple of days for the move to complete. This is mostly because of DNS propagation. Yesterday half of the folks that visited littletechgirl.com were seeing the new site. The other half were still being pointed to the old site… Continue Reading
I’m Switching My Webhosting
After about a year and a half on Hostmonster, I am switching over to Hostgator. Why? Well, although it’s been pretty stable over the past couple of months, Hostmonster has gone down quite a bit. I have dealt with DB errors on days when my site got hit hard, and complete outages for several hours.… Continue Reading

To Hulu Plus or Not to Hulu Plus, That is the Question
A while ago I was ultra excited to read about the upcoming Hulu Plus and and I quickly signed up to be let into the preview. What I did not realize was that even for just the beta, you have to pay immediately! I mean, I would have kinda expected the beta to be free… Continue Reading
My Dear Alexa, why oh why do you torment me?
I have posted about Alexa before here and here. The “rumor” is supposedly the better your traffic gets, the more links coming in, and the more users with Alexa toolbars visiting your site, the lower your Alexa number should become. And while in other stats we want high numbers, on Alexa we shoot for low… Continue Reading
Before you buy online are you checking for savings?
I am huge on online coupons, whenever I make the decision to buy something online the first thing I do is check to see if I can get a coupon. This especially goes for Dell. But, I used to upgrade my equipment quite often… like every 1-2 years. I have gotten better on computers, now… Continue Reading
Surveys, polls, and petitions, oh my!
Collecting data about users, shoppers, petitioners, etc. used to take some hassle. Hire a bunch of teens to stand in the mall and grab people as they walk by. Call homes and have people hang up on you (before the “Do Not Call List” was implemented), or spend money mailing printed surveys that no one… Continue Reading
Are you hording domain names? :)
I always have like 2-3 ideas for sites and domains floating around in my head. If it’s a good name, sometimes I will grab it up and let it sit until I do something with it. This used to not work out too well since domains were expensive. Now, it’s easy. Cheap domain names make… Continue Reading
