I recently found this blog appropriately entitled "Dummies Guide to Google Blogger Beta" and have used it extensively. It has helped me "hack" all kinds of code for this blog. Don't worry. If you are a new blogger and the word "hack" scares you, this only refers to manipulating the code in your blogger template. This site covers everything for the beginner and then some!
Thanks to the author of this site for compiling everything that I needed to know about how to easily spice up my blog. A good example is how you got to this posting. In the normal blogger format, all posts are published in their entirety on the main page. Thanks to a handy bit of coding provided by the "Dummies Guide", I was able to publish just a few lines of each posting followed by a "Read More" link which took you to the entire posting. Learn all of these tricks and more! I have this bookmarked and use it lots (trust me... LOTS)!

Over the next few days, I hope you will notice the changes that I am putting into this blog. First is the obvious visual change and a few more to come. Hopefully it it will be more eye appealing. I am also playing around with the sidebar a bit to make it more user friendly and relevant. I am going to be adding some new labels that will make the blog easier to use and will allow me to incorporate some other blog information I think would be beneficial to you guys. I am fooling around with and affiliate manager and as soon as that is programed, you can count on monthly updates on earnings from my efforts! I am also going to start a category which will be for "other" offers and such. Lots of the paid programs I am using are now interested in having links and reviews to things which do not directly fit in the scope of the blog. They do however fit indirectly since the entire point of the blog is about making money. I will write these reviews or post the links and let you know my experiences with them as I go! So please, link to me and I will link to you! Let's share some information and make some cash in the process!

Another cool site that I was introduced to today was Bid4Prizes. It's an auction site where you can bid to win awesome prizes like plasma TV's, jewelry, and more. But what makes this site so addictive is that the lowest UNIQUE bid wins. I found this a bit confusing at first so I found something that I liked and tried it out. After registering I found this awesome Apple iPhone that I wanted and bid 24 cents. If my bid of 24 cents is the lowest unique bid, I win. What that means is if two people bid 1 cent then the lowest unique bid is 2 cents... and so on. There is an option to play via your cell phone but I chose the free option to play bid4prizes online! Stay tuned to see if I win!
