BC Bloggers: Food that Takes Me Back to my Childhood

image source: google images

Childhood memories are always precious. We tend to smile once we remember one, isn't it? One of the best reminder: FOOD. Once we eat or see a food that means a lot to us especially reminding us of our childhood, we always smile or tell our friends about it. For me, that food is COTTON CANDY. Different colors, cotton-look-a-like, seems yummy to eat. I can't forget the first time I bought and ate a cotton candy. I always thought of it as cottony, mouth-watering but eventually, it makes thorny feeling on my tongue. Funny but I liked it of course. I never thought of a kid not wanting this candy. From the colorful appearance up to its sweet tastes, no kid would ignore it. Until now, I really don't know what are the ingredients of this one, only I know, of course theres a lot of sugar and maybe food colors. I don't know either how it is made. All I knew is  it is made through a machine that maybe designed for making cotton candies. It's like magic to me really.

BC Bloggers Meme #2: How Much Time Do You Spend on Facebook?

     Image from: google images

A lot!!!

I could say that I am a facebook addict. Why? It is because I can't resist the urge to check my account every 5 minutes. Even in my office hours, I spend a lot of time checking updates and status of my friends (but ofcourse not affecting my job). Actually I don't have that lots of friends like others having thousands. At first, I don't really know how to use this social networking site, I thought it is more complicated but when I tried it once, it became addicting, adding the convincing powers of my friends to just even try it once. That once did a great effect on me. It is more user friendly than what I am using and honestly saying, I could not even open my old social networking account because my attention is on facebook. 

Almost all of my friends, classmates, relatives and people I know have an account and all of the news about lives are almost posted on their walls. I even have met my cousins and other relatives on this network, having them unknown to me since birth. So there's no way on resisting what facebook could offer. Adding the photos and video uploads, where sometimes are helpful finding who you wants to find. What I think is that, some government offices could easily trace a person just by looking at the person's accounts (if they are using their real names). But ofcourse it could not be that accurate. 

For now, I am using this free instant messenger linking to my facebook, YM, gmail and other accounts. It is more helpful because I don't need to open my account just to check for updates, messages and invites because this messenger gives me pop up notices on my desktop if one of my friend updated or posted something. I even use this for facebook chatting. Using this almost lessen my urge to open my account every minute.

Well, summarizing, FACEBOOK is GREAT!!! Everyone would agree but using this should not affect our everyday chores. There are lots of sites for us that could even help us earn money while browsing, just like blogging. It could also be linked to facebook. So just try and facebook could be helpful.

Thanks to last week's participants!

Page Rank: 2

Wow, surprised! I can't believe it! When I checked my PR yesterday, I repeated it again and again just to make it sure that my eyes is not cheating me. It seems that for so many months with N/A Rank, I don't really expect that it will go back to PR2. After changing my theme last month, I checked all the possible reasons why I can't get a PR, read almost every article discussing on how to increase it. The one that really confused me is about the www and non-www sites. I don't know how could I redirect my site to the one I preferred to use. I can't change it in my webmaster tools either. So I think I can't go any further but just to wait and go with the flow, post and visit sites everyday. I lose hope of having a PR and only expect visits from my co-bloggers and doing my everyday chores of blog hopping and then sharing my life to the readers. It is my life since I lost my PR last year and I am happy of reading comments and messages on my posts and message box. But now that I got what I am looking for, I don't know what to say but "Thank you Google".

CMF Ads 1st Proof of Payment

Another proof of payment, this time from CMF Ads, one of bloggers free advertising site. Just like adgitize, you have the choice to be a publisher or be an advertiser or both. I've been blog hopping and noticed this ads that has similarity with adgitize. I became a member last June 2010 and received my first cash out last January 2011. Income came from clicking what they call "spikes", blogs who pay for advertising within the site. The good side of CMF Ads is that you could use your cash balance to advertise your blog or simply cash it out. Minimum cash out is $1 but they will pay you less 10% for taxes. You could also set of how much will it cost for advertisers to advertise to your site. If you have a higher PR, then you could get more advertisers at higher cost.

Warning: Visiting this site may harm your computer!

Ooopps...do not close please. Just read, maybe it could help. I've been using google chrome browser today and surprised when I open my site (angelrhona), this warning sign appears:

Do you encountered something like this? I also opened my site in my mozilla firefox browser and it goes well, no warning signs. I am wondering why? Anyway, having this red background, it seems to be a virus to me. I have read the contents of course because it is my site, I don't want my visitors to just close my site and not even take a glance on it. Curiosity hits me and I have click this message on the warning sign (2nd paragraph if you could read in the photo):

For detailed information about the problems with these elements, visit the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page for entrecard.mad1421.com.

And this is what it says:

Well, thats it. And to tell you what I've done...I logged in my blogger account, find my entrecard page element/gadget, clicked edit and checked on a word mad1421.com and erased totally the whole html tag containing it. They call it entrecard chicklets anyways.

For your information, I put the code on my site, I think a few weeks ago because I got interested in showing my popularity rate in entrecard, I am seeing a lot of that on other sites and it happens that I read something about it while I am blog hopping, followed the instructions, got the html code and pasted it in my site. It is running perfectly until this message appear so I think I don't have any choice but to erase it.

Changing My Blog Template

I am planning of changing again my blog template within this week. Although I am very satisfied with the appearance of my current template, I have this problems in its features and I don't know how to really fix it. Maybe I will be needing a help on finding a new one for my blog. Do you have any suggestions guys, any sites where I could find one? I need one that I can be easily managed, maybe a 3 or 4 column template, user friendly.
