Keeping Your Garden

It’s almost autumn. Soon the tree leaves will burst into beautiful colors. This is my favorite time of the year because of the colors and what they do to the landscape but this season also means more work for people owning gardens because it’s time to prepare and protect the plants for the coming cold months and of course, there is the endless raking of fallen leaves. The lawn should also be continuously kept before it will be completely covered with snow for healthy grass growth next spring.

If you are faced with the same house work, you might consider making things easier for you by getting yourself a strimmer. A great strimmer with the following details can be ordered directly from BlackandDecker.co.uk:

1. The 18V Strimmer grass trimmer cuts more grass per charge than any other 18V Cordless String trimmer
2. Cordless Freedom with no danger of cutting cord
3. High Torque: using a unique geared-drive, the cutting line loses less speed when trimming allowing you to get the job done faster
4. Quickly converts from trimming to edging
5. Automatic Line feed system, saves you time and effort
6. Telescopic shaft for improved ergonomics and comfort in use
7. 18V Slide-pack battery interchangeable with other 18V Black & Decker® Cordless Products

All these details plus the Black and Decker Strimmer comes in sleek design that is stylish ang ergonomic at the same time. Not only man can use it but housewives can easily manage it as well. It’s a must have once we get our own garden.

Uploading Photos to Your Blog

When uploading a photo to your blog, be sure that you had it resized specially if you are going to display just the thumbnail of the photo. In this manner you are saving a lot of web space. Another reason why you should resize your images before uploading them is because your blog will load faster. A blog that needs to display a 3.2MB photo will take more time to load compared to a blog that only needs to display a 150KB.

If you are afraid that your images will lose vividness and colors when resizing, then you are not using the right software. Photoshop is an excellent software. It has a more major purposes but it is also great for resizing photos. If you don’t have the budget for the software or if Photoshop is too complicated for you, there are other photo editing software in the net that that you can download for free. Don’t depend on Microsoft Office Picture Manager when to resizing your photos because is an awful software for this purpose.

The above photo is resized using Microsoft Office Picture Manager and below photo is resized using Photoshop.

Switching to Wordpress?

I started this blog to give short Wordpress blog tutorials to my friends who just started using the Wordpress platform. I was actually the one who installed their blogs for them and because I didn’t have enough time to teach them individually, I created this blog and I told them to visit this blog every now and read about how to use their Wordpress blogs.

But after a few times of logging in to their Wordpress blogs, they told me that it wasn’t difficult at all to blog because the platform is user friendly. They find it as easy as using MS Word and I agree. I think that it doesn’t take a scientist to use Wordpress. As long as you are not afraid to navigate the platform and as long as you can easily learn from your mistakes, learning how to use Wordpress for blogging should be a piece of cake.

Wordpress is the best blogging platform out there because other than it is user friendly, it is also flexible. Free themes are scattered all over the net and there are free plugins for each purpose.

So if you are unhappy with your blogging platform, don’t be afraid to switch to Wordpress.

Start Your Blog in a Paid Hosting

Many would say that creating a blog in free blog hosting sites is ideal for first time bloggers for them to get their feet wet but for me it is the best to host your own blog early on. Why? Because when you think you are ready to move from a free hosting site to your very own paid hosting and paid domain name, you’ll feel a great loss for having to leave your blog which you have exerted a lot of time, effort, and creativity in.

If you are afraid of not knowing how to start your blog in a paid hosting, you’ll find several “how to” articles about it in the net. Plus there are also a lot of web hosting plans that offer a ready to install wordpress blog. At Web Hosting Choice for example, they offer quick start guide for first time webmasters and bloggers. And normally, Web hosts have their 24/7 support to cater to clients questions. And there is also the option to hire somebody to do it for you but you need to be extra cautious when finding somebody to do it for you. Normally, web hosts have this service too but if you prefer other people to do it, it’s better to research about them and carefully check their portfolios before hiring them.

Starting your blog in a paid domain and paid hosting can be scary and difficult at first but it is worth it to have 100% control of your blog.
