Got Approved

I am so happy today because I got emails from several online affiliate programs saying that I have been approved to become their affiliate. In my excitement, I got very confused in what to do next. So I spent the next hours trying to figure things out. And since I won’t get any money doing nothing, I decided to grab some banners and put them up on my blogs. I am not saying I will get instant hundred dollars over night in affiliate marketing but it would be a start I guess to have banners on my blog.

Anyway, I hope I will be successful in this new endeavor. I hope it can help me earn a few dollars a month. :)

Now Running in Self-Hosted WordPress

If you have noticed, my blog is already running under self-hosted WordPress. This blog should have migrated to wordpress last year but I wasn’t able to move immediately because I wanted the perfect WordPress theme for it.

blogger to wordpress

So now, I am already running under WordPress blogging script, thanks to Marz AC who gave me this beautiful digitally scrapped inspired theme!!

Of course the transfer is not always easy because I needed to configure the technical side of self-hosting and making sure that I have backed up all data to ensure transfer of posts and comments. I also need to ensure that all my posts are back in the same way as before so that Google will not have a hard time looking for my blog’s posts.

Anyway, I thank God that it’s all finish in just a few hours. I still have to write about car insurance companies and I don’t have the luxury of time just to sit around and wait. I am already in cramming mode!

So, how do you find my new home? :)

Thank You Mommy Marz AC!!

I was supposed to find an effective ab workout for me to learn so that I can trim my tummy but I was joyfully sidetracked. Why? Because my Marz AC was generous again! She gave me this personalized digiscrapping theme!! Isn’t that great!! Thank you Marzie!!!

Anyway, if you like to have one made for you, both in blogger and wordpress, my Marz AC can do it for you! Her services are very much affordable. Her online store/portfolio of her services will someday be seen at DigiScrap Themes. For the meantime, the blog is still in under construction!!

Again, I thank my Marzie AC for this!!

Bella Grace Third Digital Scrap

I wish I can claim that this digital scrapping layout was done by me. Unfortunately, I am not a PRO yet when it comes to digital scrapping. I made this one with www.widdlytinks.com. It’s easy to do actually, just upload, adjust and your finish!

Anyway, I used this layout so that I could wish a Merry Christmas Day to all my readers and visitors! Have a wonderful holiday season!

Back Online!

Finally, my internet connection is now back! Thanks to my ever dearest husband who manually relocated and installed my broadband canopy. We have saved around $35 just for the relocation fee.

Anyway, I have been offline for several days so I will be a little bit busy in the next few days. I need to sort out my emails, respond to some, settle some online bills and start working on many pending tasks. So, I will be spending a lot of time in front of the computer this coming week. I just hope that I will remember participating in my favorite memes and do some digiscrapping on the side.

By the way, I haven’t prepared anything for this day but I want to greet you all a blessed Happy Easter Sunday!!

Updates on My Plans

Updates on my blog’s migration? Well, to be honest, I haven’t found the right theme for me. I haven’t even started downloading digiscrapping freebies. I am trying to think if I should keep my old looks (since I was the one who made it) or make another one for WP. For a newbie WP user like me, I am still in the dark when it comes to WP codings. I felt like I have just adjusted to the CSS codings blogger has and now I am faced with PHP. It’s mentally tiring!

Anyway, if I find a perfect WP theme as a base, I would probably keep my old looks and maybe add some digiscrap elements to make the header more personal and attractive. The one I have now is so plain. It doesn’t express my creative juices. LOL!!

Something to Celebrate?

I don’t know if I should celebrate or what but I am really glad to know that this blog of mine has gained a considerable amount of green ranking. Yup, that’s right! Life and Scraps has a page ranking of three!

To be honest I am happy because it has a rank but still I am quite upset for a little bit because this blog of mine is no longer doing assignments from other companies. I have remained loyal to those who really took care of their bloggers (and for long time bloggers, you know what I mean).

Anyway, should I treat myself or what? What do you think? After all, I still hoped that my blogs will gain considerable ranking and this blog made it! So, should I buy sexy clothes or some new PC accessories?

New Domain for An Old Blog

I really don’t know what came over me but out of the blue, I bought a new domain! Yup, as you can see, this blog of mine is publishing itself using www.lifeandscraps.com instead of her previous blogspot sub-domain. Maybe I just felt that it’s high time for my older blogs to have a domain of its own. It seems that I have been busy buying domains and creating new blogs out of them which I seemed to have flanked naturally. I was not able to maintain them as planned because of some recent physical changes in me.

Anyway, if you happened to visit here from my old blogspot, can you be so kind enough to edit my domain to my latest? That is www.lifeandscraps.com. Thanks in advance!

Before I forget, I might be doing some changes here in the next few days. I will not be changing the theme but I might do some re-arranging and deleting along the way. So, watch out for the new Life and Scraps!

Happy New Year!

I know it’s late. I was not able to greet you all on time since I am busy tending my new online business and with that, please accept my deepest apologies. I am really sorry.

Anyway, it’s been a whirlwind in here. My blog suffered an ON and OFF with that green bar up there. I was stripped off and then given and then off. I just don’t know why the green bar giver couldn’t fix his mine on me. Oh well, his the boss and I might as well accept the way he does things right?

So, how about you? Did the New Year go smoothly? Did you gain weight because of the holidays? ^_^
