Meals Made Easy

By mcangeli 9 days ago from http://delusionsofgrandeur.org

I do all the cooking. I mean, if I’m at home and someone needs popcorn or cereal poured, its all me. Amy tried cooking once and she managed to set an egg on fire boiling it, so I do all the cooking. I’m usually struggling for ways to make dinner for the four of us that would be eaten by all. Its tough with two under five year o

Why Blogging is Like training for the Olympics

By mcangeli 26 days ago from http://delusionsofgrandeur.org

When Michael Phelps trains for a competition like the Olympics, he really trains. Most days he swims four miles in preparation. Others he works outside of the pool on building muscle mass and endurance. The man is a machine and its no wonder that he’s on pace to set an Olympic record of 10 Olympic Golds in his career.

Thats so RANK!

With all the brouhaha over the google bitchslap that took place towards the end of 2007 (in case you didn’t know, google penalized sites who posted links with out nofollow for payment) something was bound to step up and take its place. The question is can a new comer survive in the shark eat shark world of SEO and Page ranking? IZEA (payperpo

Thirteen ways to blogging success
In no particular order…

1. Find a Niche. Pick a subject (or a couple of subjects) and blog about those specifically. Don’t jump from Britney, to Politics, to Software reviews to auto racing on the same blog. Your posts would be everywhere and no one would be able to follow. If you want to blog about a

He wanted to know which ones I liked, so I thought I’d let everyone know. Here are five of the better blogs I came across on EntreCard. I think I’ll work on a five of the worst finds on En

Abandon Ship??

By mcangeli 243 days ago from http://delusionsofgrandeur.org

It appears that several of the bigger players are abandoning ship in hopes that they aren’t dragged down with it. The promises made by BlogRush head John Reese have failed to materialize as more and more bloggers pull the widget from their sites in an effort to rid the web of such bloaty scripts. I had posted back in November about my experie

LT2.0 Wordpress Theme Release

By mcangeli 248 days ago from http://delusionsofgrandeur.org

I’ve developed a free, widget ready (I think) theme for WordPress thats based of a site redesign I was working on for another site. I’ve decided not to use the design for that site and thought it appropriate to make it a cool WordPress 2.3.2 theme. The site is a two column layout with a footer area. The header automatically pulls the tags for

Make Entrecard Work for you

By mcangeli 254 days ago from http://delusionsofgrandeur.org

Dropping cards for traffic sounds like it is too good to be true doesn’t it? In fact, it is a little too good to be true, there’s more to EntreCard than just dropping yours where ever you feel like. This past week, I’ve taken the opportunity to visit a lot of the sites that Entrecard plays host to (and I’m no where near done yet) and its been

A western with a twist at Delusions of Grandeur

By mcangeli 267 days ago from http://delusionsofgrandeur.org

Its sad when really good TV never gets a chance to realize its full potential. I was watching tv late last night as I waited for one of the puppies to return home from a walkabout and as I surfed the comcast channel guide, I came across the SciFi network which was running episodes of the cult hit FireFly from 11pm until 3am. I didn’t stay up

Shaking up the Political World at Delusions of Grandeur

By mcangeli 268 days ago from http://delusionsofgrandeur.org

One poll at a time apparently. On the side of the Democrats it seems that Hillary Clinton’s lead in New Hampshire is Slowly Slipping Away. This is good news for Obama and other Democrat wanna-bes. It was once thought that Hillary was unstoppable but thats beginning to show not to be the case as the primary season nears (less that a month away

9 Steps to Upgrade Wordpress at Delusions of Grandeur

By mcangeli 269 days ago from http://delusionsofgrandeur.org

If you’re like me, you’re a bit hesitant to upgrade to the latest release of Wordpress. DoG was running a very good install of the last 2.2.x release and I wasn’t in a rush to upgrade it for several reasons. The largest reason and one you can still see some of the effects of on the site, is that the theme I’m using, Redoable by DJR hasn’t bee

Ok, that was cheese, but these two definately aren’t. The light and airy sound of Soulfire is reminiscent of Jack Johnson, Ben Harper and others who play lightly on the strings.rnrnFrom their page: “Soulfire was formed around a fire in the mountains of South Africa’s Cedarberg region.
