Free Shirt Friday - PeaPod
It took me longer than normal to write this post because I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 and have been playing around with all the neat new options. I can show/hide the “Kitchen Sink” - ok, I find humor in the small stuff. I will definitely have to upgrade some of my other blogs, if I could just find a few extra hours in the day to play more on the computer.
So, without further udo, today’s tshirt is courtesy of PeaPod.com - “Spread Peas on Earth” with peas arranged as a “Peace” sign - you gotta admit that’s pretty clever advertising. I hope whoever came up with that slogan got a raise. Peapod is an online grocery store, and if you’re lucky enough to live in one of their service areas (Chicagoland, Milwaukee, SE WI, CT, MA, RI, NY, NJ, Washington DC, MD, VA), you can get $10 off your first order through this link. No Nebraska, drats. I order practically everything online, and someday I’m sure I’ll be able to order perishable groceries as well. PeaPod has affiliate programs through CJ.com (pays $10-$20 depending on number of actions) and OfferForge (pays $12).
I won $250 prepaid commission (or so my certificate says) from OfferForge at Affiliate Summit in Vegas, but I’m still waiting patiently for my check. And Squeak won a “Strategy in a Box” (or so her certificate says) from them, whatever that may be, and it’s ”valued at $2500″. She tried to “sell her box” for $25 to our dinner table that night, but didn’t have any takers, and she hasn’t even heard back from them about getting a prize. Their network looks respectable, but I’m not going to promote them until/if I get paid and Squeak gets a response. Because my favorite networks communicate and cut checks in a timely fashion.
Ok, I apologize for the rambling. You can read even more of my rants and raves at House For Kim. Have a good weekend!
Free Shirt Friday - Solio
I picked a green shirt from the pile today as I had lots of “green” on my mind lately. This t-shirt is from Solio.com. Solio is a Universal “Hybrid” Charger that’s powerful enough to charge all of your handheld electronic products (ie Cell Phone, iPod, GPS, Digicam, etc), anywhere under the sun because it can accept power from either the sun or the wall storing this energy within Solio’s internal rechargeable battery. I found the lowest price for the Solio Universal Hybrid Charger at Paragon Sports for $99.95. Cool gadget and sound investment, if you ask me.

And of “making green”, check out Revolution Money Exchange (PayPal’s newest competitor) where you get $25 buckaroos just for signing up. Remember when PayPal gave away bonuses for signing up? I do and reaped the rewards! Let’s hope this is as profitable.
And just because I like this “green” post, Are Green M&M’s Really Aphrodisiacal?
P.S. I upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.3.3 because I having troubles with permalinks not working, and now I’m having trouble making links in posts under “visual” mode (have to switch to “code”). I’m anxious for Version 2.5 to be released, and if it’s as good as it claims it’s gonna be, I may upgrade all of my other blogs.
Useless Stuff I Learned this Week
Here’s a few things I learned this week that are probably useless to most, but thought I’d share so I now have notes if the need to know arises again…
If your Performics affiliate links are all giving you a 400 Bad Request error saying the size of the request header field exceeds server limit, it means your cc-dt.com cookie has too many entries in it. If you clear your cookies the problem will go away.
If you get an error when you try to shutdown/reboot like this: “dwwin.exe - DLL Initialization Failed - The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down” - simply do a “Windows Update” under Tools in IE. Worked for me.
After I installed phpBay Lite Plugin, I got an error on one of my servers (I can’t remember the exact error), and it screwed up the posts if I tried to use the plug-in. I fixed the problem by opening up the php.ini file and changed “allow_url_fopen = off” to “allow_url_fopen = on”.
New Wordpress plugin I just downloaded - YouTuber that lets you add videos from YouTube and adjust the size of the videos so they fit into your blog. I was finding that if I tried to add YouTube videos to my House For Kim blog that my post column wasn’t wide enough, so it screwed up the sidebar if I added a video. This should help!
Update - YouTuber Plugin works great!
I also downloaded the WP-EMail Plugin so people can email posts on to a friend.Free Shirt Friday - eAdvertising
Today’s Tshirt is brought to you by eAdvertising.com, a division of LeadClick Media, Inc. Sounded just like a commercial didn’t it? I need to hop on this podcast bandwagon. Anyway, I can’t believe I haven’t joined eAdvertising.com yet, as I swear I am an affiliate for a trillion other CPA networks, so I just applied. I got the standard DirectTrack form and “will be notified in the next 72 hours.”
Speaking of CPA networks, there is nothing I hate worse than when they call and call and call and email and email and email me begging me to join their network. So I finally apply, mainly just to shut them up. Then they call and email again wanting a full explanation before they’ll approve me on why I’m joining and how will I run their offers!? Um, you wanted me, I don’t need you. Ok, off my rant rage now.
Notice my double screen monitors - love ‘em. (Ignore the messy desk) I think I need a third one as I usually have my laptop beside me as well. On the screens you’ll see a wordpress admin and my coupon code site. I’ve downloaded / uploaded a few more cool wordpress plug-ins as well…
Feed Logo/Favicon Plugin by my girl, Harley. She created this plug-in just for me! I wanted to be able add a logo and a favicon to my RSS feeds. I even found this site where you can create your own favicon from any graphic (and it’s free). The plugin doesn’t work for all feed readers, but it works good enough for me. Thanks Harley Quine! Next…
phpBay Lite Plugin This plugin allows you to add eBay auction listings to your posts and pages. You pick the keywords and how many you’d like to display. Pretty cool. See it in action here and below (I used “computer” as the keyword and wanted to show 2 results). Ciao!
