Yogile – Sharing Photos Made Extremely Easy

Yogile is a photo sharing service that takes all the obstacles out of the way. With Yogile, you can start a photo album under your account, and family and friends can contribute to that album without even having an account of their own. That’s what I think sets Yogile apart.

For instance, let’s assume you have taken pictures at your family’s last Christmas get-together….and so did several other family members. You can create a photo album and let all your family know where the pictures can be viewed. They can easily contribute their pictures to that album, and there’s just no hassle what so ever. You can password protect the album so just anyone can’t add to the album, but you don’t have to. There’s a minimum amount of buttons you have to push, and the fact they don’t have to create an account to take part makes it as easy as pie! Check it out….it’s free.

My Regrets About the ‘copyright dispute’

As I’ve had more time to think about this issue, the more regret I feel for taking part in it, and realize that whether I think New Media Maze responded to me correctly, doesn’t matter.

When the issue first came to my attention, there were plenty of people telling me “not to back down”, and that I “should speak to a lawyer”, etc. I realize now that I got way too caught up in this.

Goodbye 1and1 Hosting, Hello Hostgator

Hostgator - Best Web Hosting

One of my most popular articles on this site, as well as one of the articles that brings in the most search engine visitors, is my How to Install WordPress with 1and1 Hosting article. I believe the reason for this is because there are many people who’ve run into the same problem trying to get WordPress to connect to the database on 1and1′s servers. 1and1 doesn’t like to play by the standard rules.

1and1 is not only the most well-known web host, but they’ve also served my website quite well. As my site has grown, not to mention the fact that I now have multiple websites, my needs are changing. This post is not to bash 1and1, because they have provided me with good service. But I believe Hostgator has a set-up that will better meet my needs. Read on to find out why.

Regarding Advertising

advertising dollars

Since the changes I recently made to this site(new design, ads, etc.), I’ve decided that the only affiliate ads that I will have on this site, are products that I use myself, and that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. It’s all too easy to throw ads up based on the amount of the payout, but I’m not going to do this…there are plenty of people who already do.

Here are my current plans. I’m going to keep spots for four 125×125 ads in the sidebar. For now, I’m going to keep two of those as affiliate ads for products that I use and would recommend. The other two spots, I will offer to you.

Time to Adjust, and Tune Up Antbag.com

If you haven’t noticed the last few months, I’ve not posted as much as I used to. The primary reason for this is the fact that I’m rethinking the direction I want to go with this website. When I started this blog, it was just a personal website…nothing more. Then I figured out how to build a WordPress theme, and that knowledge + the little HTML and CSS know-how that I had, I ran with it. I put together a fairly nice variety of free themes. Then I started writing a few tutorials and taking on work for pay. Most of that work has been me fixing things for people(adding logos, sidebars, fixing errors, etc.), and there has been the occasional custom theme.

AT&T’s Fast-Access DSL Service and their Laughable ‘Tech Support’

Here lately, computers and related components have not been very friendly to me. As I reported earlier, I recently got a new laptop computer. Everything is fine in that regard. Now, I’m having major problems with my DSL connection….and this isn’t the first time. My service is with AT&T(formerly Bellsouth). When it works, it works well. When problems arise, good luck.
