Samsung Busts Out 30 Inches For Your Viewing Pleasure

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Samsung announced, today, its new SyncMaster 305T 30 Inch LCD display.

Imagine the extra width your life could have take the next step; bring the world to you. Viewing the 305T’s huge 30″ wide screen will change the way you see the world. Clearer, sharper, bigger, better, faster; this is the ultimate monitor, whatever your needs. Have you experienced it yet? With the SAMSUNG SyncMaster 305T, it’s not hard to imagine.

Imagine, indeed. The only problem with their product release notice is that the picture above doesn’t really show you how big the thing is. Don’t worry. I’ve got you covered. I happen to have a SyncMaster 245BW (24 inch widescreen) right here on my desk. It’s smaller, but it should give you at least some idea. For comparison of size, I placed a standard 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper in front of it.

By the way, I love mine. The picture is crisp and clear and I paid about $450 for it.

Before You Switch Hosting, Get A Coupon And Save A Couple Bucks

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

If you have ever paid to host a web site, you probably know how many hosting packages are available to you with varying levels of pricing and features. When you’re paying as little as $6.95 per month for stable web hosting, it can’t much get cheaper, can it? I guess it can, when you have a source like Lunarpages Coupons.

Lunarpages Coupons is a blog that offers exactly what you would expect from it, timely coupons for hosting at LunarPages.com, a large and time-tested web hosting company. Lunar Pages has been around since 2000 and has pricing packages comparable to my host. I compared the basic dedicated server package, which is very similar to what I’m on now for my 20 plus sites, and the pricing is the same.

The author of Lunarpages Coupons, Ben, posts new coupons as they become available. This can anywhere from a couple in a week to once per month, but he does a good job of making sure you are made aware of the newest coupons. He is also sure to let you know which coupons provide the best possible deal.

I’ve passed up a bunch of ReviewMe reviews because I wanted to be sure my first one would be about something I might have a need for and something I’ve posted about recently, which is why I decided to do this sponsored post.

I Quadrupled My Blog Income In 12 Days With Bla.st

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

I don’t claim to be an expert on making money online, but I try to get a couple bucks back here and there for hosting. This blog isn’t raking in the cash like some other people, but adding the Bla.st widget to my site is changing that.

Bla.st EarningsRecently, I wrote about how why you should ditch BlogRush and join Bla.st. I went out on a limb, touting Bla.st without having fully experienced it yet, and I have no regrets. BlogRush brought me zero visits and certainly didn’t offer any revenue to me, but Bla.st has brought me 3.58 new visitors per day, and the Bla.st widget has earned me $45.63 in 12 days. Considering I don’t make much from other revenue sources on this blog, this is great. I would think one of the bigger blogs could easily make this much every day with the widget.

Blast Stats

I will continue to use Bla.st and see how much more I can make, and I think you should, too. If you have a Bla.st card, use the widget on your blog, or decide to do either, comment below. I’m interested in how it’s working for you.
