wordpress app for blackberry

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:55:15 +0000

I love the fact that I can use the wordpress app on my blackberry to make a post on this blog. There are so many times that I am waiting for a flight, on a plane, on a bus, on the metro or anywhere that I have a free moment and want to post to my blog. I can not count how many times I have been sitting around and an idea comes to mind. Well know I can pull out my blackberry and make a post. If you have a wordpress blog and a blackberry you have to download this app.

Back Up Your Blackberry

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 18:35:18 +0000

I have had my blackberry for about a year now, but just backed it up for the first time. I was pretty easy. I just went to blackberry.com and downloaded the desktop manager, connected my blackberry and clicked a few buttons. I updated all my software and most importantly saved a backup on my desktop. My wife has a blackberry and one day out of the blue she lost all her contacts. I have over 350 contacts and would be devastated if I lost all those numbers. So after pushing this off for a long time I am very happy to say that I just did it today. I have also really wanted to have my gmail calendar and contacts synced as well. I just learned that this can be done by going to m.google.com/snyc . I am in the process of doing this and once it is done it will automatically snyc my calendar to my blackberry calendar.

Jay Z Concert at Verizon Center

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:52:05 +0000

I am really getting excited for the Jay C Concert March 3rd at the Verizon center in DC. I purchased my tickets using the stubhub website. This was the first time that I used stubhub. I usually use ticketmaster, but was able to find better seats for a much better price on stubhub. Once you purchase your tickets, stubhub will mail them to you and you will be all set.

Have you ever purchased tickets online or over the phone? I would love to know which website you use to purchase tickets. Please leave comments below.

Using SharePod to backup my Ipod and transfer Music to new iTunes

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 05:45:58 +0000

I have been meaning to do this for a long time, but just got around to doing it tonight. I must admit something first. That the emphasis on doing this tonight was because I just found downloading podcast. I know, I know this is really old business, but I am just getting around to doing this. I love audio books, live streams, and radio so it is only fitting that I would fall in love with Podcast. For the past 9 years I have had a 1 hour commute each way to get to work and back home. This is a perfect time to learn something new twice a day by listening to a podcast. So I downloaded a new iTunes and need to sync my ipod, but first did not want to lose the 1700 songs that I have on my ipod. So I am using SharePod which so far has been very easy and looks to be going well. I had to disconnect a couple times and the first time it loaded 1100 songs and then appeared to be stuck. But I am trying again to get the rest and hopefully will have a fully synced ipod soon. And most important can start downloading podcast and bring them along for the commute or when I travel.

Results from people in your social circle for upgrading wordpress manually video

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:24:32 +0000

Wow!!! Search is really becoming amazing! They now show results for people in your social circle. This is the first time that I have seen this, but it is truly amazing. Google is totally changing the way we search as we know it. This is going to really mess up the way a lot of people have been making money online. You can no longer just stuff pages, submit articles, link building. The days that Make Money Online people use to get to the top of the search engines and use monitization methods like websites made for adsense are long gone. It will now become a race to learn and use new techniques and tactic to get to the top of search engines. It is now going to come down to local search and if you are in someones social circle. Like if you are connected via twitter, facebook or linked to someones website. This is a huge game changer and going to make a lot of waves. to give an example of how I came accross this new google beta search algorithm was when I searched for a video on how to upgrade wordpress 2.3 to 2.9 . While scrolling down the results, I noticed the face of the one and only Garry Conn. At first I was shocked to see his face, but then realized it was because somehow google knows I am in his social circle.

Here is his result in google
