Tips and Tricks

Backing up your computer is probably one of the things that are far from your mind. You might not think about it at all. Honestly, I only think about backing up my computer and the stuff I have on it when something goes wrong. Luckily, I haven't had anything horrible go wrong yet. So, when do you back up? How often do you think is good to back up?

When I first saw this image on Crestock I thought that it was one of the most beautiful images that I have seen for awhile. Can you imagine my shock to find out that it was being offered for free today? If you want it I suggest you go grab it really quick.

Beauty blogs that are good and don't give the same copy and paste articles are hard to come by. Actually, I have yet to even find one that is up to date and is not some boring "this is how you put on eyeliner" type blog. Do you have one that you could recommend? Perhaps you have one of your own and you do reviews and such. Actually, I lied. There is one which I really liked but can't recall the name. They do reviews of products such as Rubis tweezers and make up and then also have giveaways.

The easiest thing for people who are making a website to do is clutter up your sidebars with ads and widgets. When you clutter up your sidebars with these things then you are making your website slow and clunky. There is nothing more aggravating on a visitors end than a slow website. You could have the best content in the world but if your site is slow it will push people away from it.

If you look at your site and think that you have too much stuff on it, then you probably do. Keep it simple. Not everyone cares about the time in your home or the weather where you live so don't put it on there. Text blogrolls are fine because it doesn't take long to load them. Imaged blogrolls take too much time. It is really a matter of common sense!

If you want to find out your website speed then take the website speed test.

Spring. Summer. Both two seasons which are notorious for bugs and the problems with them. For me the main problems are with dust mites. They are horrible bugs that constantly bite me unless I take proper measures to get rid of them or drop their population. You can read a various amount of sites and the one thing you will see pop up constantly is to get rid of fabric curtains and get shades that they can not live or breed in. So, the perfect time to replace all your shades is now. Justblinds.com has a lot of blinds that you can pick from that will make your house pop and not allow dust mites to live in them. My personal favorite from their site is the wood blinds in Express Wood. I love it. I love this site. It is so well laid out that you will have no problems browsing the site and finding your next set of blinds.

Going to the movies is a pretty hot thing to do in the summertime. It is fun and you can stay out later because it gets lighter later. So why not use your movie going experience as blogging material? You can review the movie that you went to see or basically just tell what you thought of it. Remember try not to use spoilers for the movie in your post. People don't like it when movies are ruined for them!
