Wordpress is ACE!

Just over a week ago I decided to make myself a Blog (this one). I had attempted this about a year ago but that time I used Blogger. I didn’t keep up with it for too long and it soon fizzled out and I gave up.
This time I have decided to use Workpress. It’s far easier to use and customise. I realised that my hosting has Fantastico De Luxe installed. Through this I installed Wordpress. This took about 10 minutes to do, so far so good. I then looked about for a new theme as these are apparently easy to install. I found one I liked, unzipped it and uploaded to my webserver. Within the Wordpress administration area you then see the new theme. Simply by clicking the activate link and your new theme is there for all to see! (wow).
I have been so impressed with this that I have held up developing a few gift sites I have domains for and today setup another site using Wordpress instead of designing the site myself. PersonaliseYaGifts is the result in a few hours. We’ll see how it goes in the next few days and weeks.
Wickes Pressure Washer

Product: 120bar Pressure Washer
Merchant: Wickes
I received this Pressure Washer from the Wickes affiliate programme as a free gift for being one of a number of people to join the programme and get a link up on one of my sites. Fiona MacPherson, the programme manager, is an extremely helpful and plesant person. She sends out emails regularly with offers and codes to promote. Suprisingly, this is something you don’t always get from a lot of programmes. (That’s another story for later!)
So, getting onto the pressure washer itself. It arrived ready to be assembled. This consisted of putting the handle on, connecting the high pressure hose and finally putting the wheels on. It took little more than 20 minutes, brilliant!
The pressure washer was ready to go, and go it went. Connect to a standard tap or the end of a hose and you’re ready to go. The unit is compact and readdy quite powerful. It gets the green from patio stones, mud off the car with ease and with the cold weather and salt on the roads, it’s quick and easy to rinse off you car when you get home. It’s only downside for me is the length of the electrical cable, as with most goods you buy, they never seem to give you enough. Apart from this little niggle, I would recommend this pressure washer as a good middle of the road costing unit.
It had to happen!

Well, as I said, it had to happen eventually didn’t it?
I’ve decided to get myself a blog. Why? Well, I think I need one to express and share my views and news on Affiliate Marketing and life in general.
I won’t make any promises about the topics and frequency of posts that I’ll make, but I will try to post at least once a week.
