new harmonized GST/PST sales tax which will apply a 13% sales tax to
everything we purchase.
Things That Were Not Subject To The Current 8% PST Will Be Now Taxed
As a result, things that were not previously taxed under the current Ontario
Provincial Sales Tax (PST) will be taxed at 8%.
The new 13% tax will therefore apply to things like your electric bill, your
gas bill, your water bill, condominium fees, insurance ...
So a few months back I signed up for Kontera publisher account. Installation went smoothly and I've been making a few bucks everyday. But then over the next few weeks I've started getting a few complaints from my users, their complaint was that the site looked too spammy. And I agree.
This is the invisible line of running a website putting advertising on it. Its' the line that has never been clearly defined and it moves everyday, how much advertising is too much. So one of my first actions was to take down Kontera, it was just a few bucks a day so it wouldn't affect my master plan too much... yet the weeks after, I kept seeing the message don't put all your eggs in one basket... and ...
First off, I would like to apologize for anyone who's attempted to read my blog over the past few weeks... it's been a crazy past two months. I've been working on a major redesign of aboutmyplanet.com and it's finally live.
There was a major redesign of the UI, you could say it's a brand new site. However on top of that I've been able to recode the entire backend templating system of wordpress. What I've done is build the entire system in OO PHP Classes which makes the code so much easier to read and much more organized. It allows me to easily add new additions to the system much faster then before.
I've also implemented a big bridge between wordpress and vBulletin which works ...
Wherever you look on the net you see tips and lists of how to implement SEO onto your site. The thing is you can't just go and do your SEO optimization once and be done with it. If you're going to do SEO yourself you need to take a few months and learn it yourself and then use what you learned on ongoing basis. SEO is one of those things that takes weeks and months to truly be able to see what’s working and what’s not. On top of that Google and other engines go and change their code every often, so in a way you’re always guessing what works.
When you invest the time to learn SEO you quickly learn that content is king and really the best thing for your website long term is to focus on content alone. Here are some quick tips on SEO:
I find myself often asking this question... when will I quit my fulltime job and work for myself... And by working for myself I don't mean find projects to work on for other people (at least not entirely). The problem is we spend the most amount of our time working for someone else. It's a vicious cycle that I hope when broken will reap major benefits.
I've been working for seven years right out of school and only for the past year I've really started looking at how to make money online, by using your own projects.
People are always out on the lookout for how to make money…from my experience you need to start in your daily life. I’ve never been an advocate of buying expensive lunches or that cup of coffee for $5. Brilliant business plan BTW. I’m also not cheap, I spend money when I feel I’m getting a good value on something or celebrating a particular occasion, I think it’s smart living.
One of the biggest achievements I’ve accomplished to date was buying my first condo. I was 24 and after losing quite a bit of money on the stock market I finally decided to put my money into good use and buy my first home. The first step was getting an agent, they make sure you get out there and actually ...
For those of you who have been living under the rock, there is a TV revolution going on. Let me get this out of they way first... yes I do "borrow" TV shows off the net. Let me tell you what... I'm really not sorry... the amount of money corporations are making off us is insane... and there are no limits every year it's more and more and it will never end, unless we do something about it. I agree people need to get paid, but in my opinion entertainers get paid way too much, yes they do entertain millions of people but that's just because the way the system is setup. There is plenty actors out there who would be happy to work for much less money. I feel like I'm getting off topic here, all ...
Thanks for the tag Belle, I must admit I got a little bit of a second wind in trying to blog more frequently as well. I'm not sure why but I suspect to get a bit of focus in my life.
In the past few weeks I've had a lot happen, we recently purchased a new condo... so with that came a move, we just finished moving last weekend. I've also accepted a new position as a Sr. UI Developer as JumpTV. This after working at my company for seven years, so it's going to be quite a change for me. I've also had a bit of an incident playing basketball and I've been seeing dentist left and right trying to figure out how to fix my teeth for less then 10,000... but that's here or there.
So back to the subject at hand... why do I blog. As you can see I don't blog much but I hope I can change this.
