When participating in a road trip, chances are you’ll end up staying at a bed and breakfast for a night or two. B & B’s are always so roomy and the people around are friendly.

I myself have been to at least one B & B and enjoyed my time spent there. The room was beautiful since it was Victorian styled. The food was well cooked and the folks were very welcoming and we struck up wonderful conversations.

If you live in England, you can stay at the wonderful penrith bed and breakfast. Stay for one night or a whole week. It’s up to you. You can find more information by clicking the link above.

Ted Murphy, the CEO of my favourite paid blogging company to work with - PayPerPost, is asking us posties for help with a new name for their much anticipated Argus release. As requested in his post, he would like our input on what name should they launch Argus under. Here are the domain names they have narrowed down to:

• bzzooka.com
• wompow.com
• tremblor.com
• cloudshout.com

My personal opinion about choosing one of these domain names is rather sour right now. None of them stand out and say “Blogging changes forever” or “Bammmmmm, what has hit the web”. I hate to criticize these names but here is my honest input.

bzzooka.com - Reminds me too much of Zookoda or even the Bazooka bubblegum. Maybe it’s just the way the domain looks to me. I don’t quite know, but it doesn’t seem original enough.

wompow.com - Reminds me of some kung-fu movie or some sorts. Nothing original here and doesn’t quite stand out enough.

tremblor.com - This name is the best choice out of all of them but to me it best suits one of those social networking websites like StumbleUpon or Tumblr.com.

cloudshout.com - What the….?? Where does this come into play? It definitely does not scream, “hey look here!” It sounds more like a shoutout domain then anything else.

I think PayPerPost needs to reevaluate these domain name choices because none of them catch enough attention to go with what Argus seems to be about. Isn’t Argus going to change blogging forever? At least go with a name suitable enough that is catchy, easy to remember, and best of all something people will recognize and remember. You want people to talk about it positively and say something like, “Did you here about *insert name*?” or “*insert name* is the next best thing to rock the web!!”

You need a name choice that is seriously going to rock the web. If you want Argus to be successful and be used to it’s full potential, then choosing the right name is crucial. Who knows, you may even want to pick a name that will have easy to remember abbreviations like PayPerPost = PPP.

I know the entire creative team at PayPerPost can come up with better domain names than these. Just take some time to actually pick a name that is relevant to what Argus is about but also has a catchy name that is easy to remember. Good luck!!!

I’m currently enrolled in an Office Administration program. We use alot of programs such as Excel, Access, Word, etc. One thing that we haven’t used is financial reporting software.

Using this kind of software would help us get a better understanding of keeping reports tidy when dealing with businesses. Who knows, I may even want to open up my own business one day. I dreamed about it when I was a kid. I even took entrepreneur and marketing classes in high school but never pursued it in college. I do know for a fact that I want to own my own photography studio and possibly a home daycare as I am educated in both those fields.

Who knows…we’ll see what the future has in store for me. LOL!
