Nice example of a reviews site.

I’d been looking into setting up one or more review type sites and came across a nice example that uses WordPress along with a plugin to easily allow readers to rate and review entries. In this case the site features hotels in Windsor, Ontario. I think I’ve been through there many years ago, but I don’t remember a thing about the city. Anyway, it’s a nicely done site - have a look at the Windsor hotel review site .

Looking for new web host

I’ve recently been looking for a new hosting company for this blog and another site I have. There are so many out there it’s not even practical t look into them all. I7ve checked out a few based on recommendations, and at the moment HostGator is looking pretty good. They have cheap plans at $9.95 a month for unlimited domains on one account. You can check out their hosting deals here.

I’ll post about this again when I come to a decision and actually make the move.

Alternative ad networks for publishers

Any web publishers looking for alternative revenue sources? A friend recently introduced me to this company:

FinditQuick.

They seem to go to a fair amount of effort to ensure the quality of the sites they place ads on. I’ll update on my results after I’ve tried them out for a while.

Diet information?

Well, now that Christmas is over, maybe it’s time to lose some of the weight brought on by all that food and drink. But which of the million trendy diet plans is the one for me, for you?

I see that this diet knowledge website has information on most of the big diet programs. I’m leaning toward the South Beach diet at the moment. If that doesn’t work, then maybe I could get thin by fasting… Desperate measures??

Will that cocktail make me fat?

On the off chance that you’d care, here’s where to find out how many calories are in that absinthe cocktail you just slammed.

Mixed drink recipes by ingredient

The site MixedDrinkIngredients.com has a bunch of cocktail and mixed recipes, organized by ingredient. I found some interesting cocktails containing absinthe there. It sometimes lists by a specific brand or type of ingredient. So I found these pages with absinthe coctails:

8 different mixed drinks with Deva Absinthe

1 martini variation using Mari Mayans Absinthe

and 11 cocktails listed under Absinthe herbal liqueur

Website about how to manage gout

Still on the gout research trail. This site is short but sweet - possibly related to the shop mentioned in the previous post? Natural Gout Relief.

Natural gout relief

Here’s an Amazon aStore with a few products related to self-treatment for gout.

To sleep, perchance not to sleep, that is so messed up.

Been hacking away at the online dictionary of dream symbols. Made a few minor design changes and added a much needed intro text on the top page (room for improvement still, but way better than nuttin’). I notice it’s inched up about 10,000 places or so in Alexa over the last week - could it be related??

I have a few ideas for articles, maybe a comparison of Freud’s and Jung’s theories on the meanings of dreams - I think I can make it a tad more nteresting than some of the other boilerplate I keep coming accross. Also want to add a lot of symbol entries and improve some of the current ones.
