Not Everyone Wants To Connect Their Facebook For Everything
I for one , hate to connect my Facebook in order to leave comments on blogs (surprisingly I don’t mind to connect to my Twitter).
I only have one Facebook account and it is personal!
So I do not wish to connect and share my details. Facebook is a place for me to connect with my friends and family.
However, I noticed that some people just love to use their Facebook account for everything on the internet.
It is also rather annoying to see sites offering Facebook connection as another option to sign up or log in.
This is my personal opinion.
What is on your mind?
Do you connect your Facebook account for every little thing you do on the internet – commenting, sign up, log in, e.t.c. ?

CMF Ads : Why I Love It
CMFAds – Blog advertising, low cost, high value
I joined CMFAds a few years back (can’t exactly remember when). At first I was sceptical about CMFAds. After all I was earning peanuts (seriously that’s what I thought back then!). Then again, I realised I should not expect to get rich overnight with CMFAds. It is not about the money. It is about the exposure for my blogs.
After all exposure is what CMFAds about (blog advertising, low cost, high value). This is not “get rich quick” so you have to be patient and persevere. It is difficult for me not to love CMFAds.
#1 Blog Advertising at Low Cost
I can get 50 unique clicks for just $0.20 (it means I get 50 unique people to visit my blog).
For as low as $0.30, I can get 10,000 page views (impressions). This is known as Network ads. While it is not guaranteed that people will click on the ad, at least my blog banner makes appearance 10,000 times (often a little more) on the blogs with CMFAds code.
The latest ad available is known as Fireworks (Firework Ads). Get 50 unique clicks for $1.00. It is different from Spikes because you don’t have to click on the ad to earn money. You earn money when other people (anyone, not just members of CMFAds) click on a Firework ad on your site. The rate – $0.008 (4 times the rate of clicking on Spikes, and you don’t even have to click).
#2 Earn Money The Easy Way
Click, click, click… That’s all you have to do.
At the rate of $0.002 per click (also known as Spike), you might think, “meh, it is not worth my time”.
Then again, why not give it a try especially if you are on the internet most of the time?
You just have to click and it’s like one second per click.
If you have Firework Ad Code on your site, you earn money when people click on the Firework ad on your site.
#3 A Supportive Community
CMFAds Forum is a great place to hang out, especially if you are the type who likes to hang out in a forum.
CMFAds members are friendly and they are willing to share knowledge with those who seek it.
What are you waiting for?
Be a member of CMFAds and discover all the benefits you can get.
Post #300: 17 Hints for Remembering Better
This is post #300 and I have been wondering what would be the best thing to share with you.
Now as a writer (or virtual assistant), memory plays an important role, because we need to remember a lot of stuff – work, clients, contracts, ideas, e.t.c. It is very important to have a good memory (to remember all the important details).
I just have to share this with everyone. I can be forgetful from time to time and these tips would really help.

1. Understand thoroughly what is to be remembered and/or memorized.
2. Spot what is to be memorized verbatim. It is a good plan to use a special marking symbol in text and notebook to indicate parts and passages, rules, data, and all other information that is to be memorized instead of just understood and remembered.
3. If verbatim memory is required, go over the material or try to repeat at odd times.
4. Think about what you are trying to learn. Find an interest in the material if you wish to memorize it with ease.
5. Study first the items that you want to remember longest.

What do you think of these tips?
I think #1 is the most important of all.
Title-o-Matic
Found this at Language is a Virus.
Title-o-Matic is designed to help you find a suitable title for your masterpiece (i.e. creative writing).
So if you have a story to tell with no suitable title, get some ideas from this generator.
Here are some suggestions from the generator.
1. Storm Drain Mysterious
2. Ferry Sad
3. Seagreen Ghosts
4. Mist White
5. Pools Pink Lemonade
6. Red Apple Pink
7. Shining Dream
8. Lady Bugs Icicle
9. Star Smog
10. Tropical Stalker
I would suggest that you change a word or two in the titles generated to match your story. These are just some rough ideas to help you find the right title for your work.
