One of the many dwarf pine cone trees we have in our backyard.

Ya I know…you probably read a bunch of posts of people upgrading to the new wordpress version. Yup, I’m no different. LOL!

I finally finished upgrading all of my sites and both family/friends websites too. It took awhile but it’s finish. I only ran into one error on one of my sites which I’ll be fixing tonight because I don’t feel like doing it now.

What do I think of the new Wordpress?

You really want to know?? … I hate the default theme. It sucks and it’s just horrible to navigate around. Thank goodness for another theme being available called Fluency which can be easily installed just like any other plugin. At least this theme for the admin is so much better. It’s neat and organized to me.

Anyways…I’m off to go figure out how to get my Technorati incoming links back in my dashboard instead of the stupid Google ones that the creators of wordpress like…for what reason? I have absolutely no clue as those links are never updated! *sigh*

Byez for now!!

I forgot to post this on Friday, but I received the purse I won from a competition on Lori’s website. It is absolutely gorgeous and came with a matching wallet as well!! Take a look at it in the photo below. Man…I love mini contests with great prizes.

THANKS AGAIN LORI!!

Geeze…I’ve think I’ve hit the jackpot. That is, if the requirements were to get a billion spam on your site in one week. That’s what it feels like on all my sites. It’s just been a big BAM all of a sudden with the amount of comments I have to moderate, most of them being spam.

Not only that, but I check my referrals all the time. The amount of porn related websites that are using themes I’ve modified are insane. Are there seriously THAT MANY porn websites out there?? Wow…some of them even have just regular blogs names so I don’t know it’s a porn site until I visit it and see a big cock in some chick’s mouth. It’s crazy!

For real…sites like that should have a splash page where it outlines it being a porn site. Imagine if I opened one of my referral links when checking things from work or school?? OMG…I don’t even want to think of the embarrassment.

A few months ago I found out about one of the greatest things ever which is lifelock. I actually saw the CEO, Todd Davis, on the Montel Williams show. He gave the best insight on what lifelock is all about. Heck, he even provided HIS OWN social security number just to prove how effective lifelock is in identity theft protection.

Benefits of using LifeLock:

• you are covered by their $1 million service guarantee
• if someone tries to do something with your credit, you will receive a notification
• you will be removed from pre-approved credit offers and junk mail lists
• the bottom line: you’ll be safe and secure that no will can steal your identity or hijack your credit account.

How much does it cost? Only $10/month for the best protection against identity theft. Definitely something everyone should invest in because of the high identity thefts cases in our society today.

As being someone who has had their wallet stolen and my credit card being used, I swear by this program. My personal identity is out there in the criminal world because of the thief who stole my wallet right from my work place a few years ago.

Sadly, it seems that lifelock is only available in the USA. I hope they establish it in all of North America because I would love to have this protection in Canada. So for those of you lucky ones who are currently living in the States, don’t hesitate on this opportunity. It truly is something you’ll want to invest it. I am saying this purely from my own experience. You want to be protected and don’t want to deal with the aftermath of having someone steal your stuff. It’s horrible.

Check out LifeLock.com and protect you and your family from identity theft today!

I’m in total shock…man the weather is so weird nowadays. Just yesterday is was raining, well, it was more like flurries and it was freezing cold! Now today, it’s sunny and actually +1 degrees out. Nice…I hope the temperature keeps working it’s way up because it sure doesn’t feel like spring around here.

I want to plant some flowers out in the backyard but can’t because there is still snow everywhere, plus it’s just too cold to be outside for long periods of time. Hopefully by the weekend the temperature will be up? I really really hope so!

I hope summer comes sooner than later this year. It just seems that’s it’s taking too long especially with all the snow coming once again. *sigh*.

I have already been talking about vacations with my parents and what they have in mind. My father wants to go to Cuba. My mother has no preference. Myself? Undecided yet.

But thank goodness for websites like VacationRentals.com. At least I can find different vacation homes we can rent out such as the Florida Vacation Home section of the site. From there I can easily pick a specific location in Florida and see what rental homes there are. The best thing is that they have so many possibilities and many different cities all across the world. Sweet!

I have never been to Florida so it would be nice to go down there with my family. My aunt and uncle always talk about it too, so I’m sure it would be fun.

*looks out window* … I hope summer is coming … seriously I do.
