I like this theme because it has that professional look but without glitz. I found it recently and use it on 2 of my blogs. No bugs so far.

Wow, she really made that place come out to another dimension. It is so inspiring to see there are people willing to make something like this.

And this is a great post, I love the way you write. Bookmarked.

Re: Is the Media Promoting Teen Pregnancy?

Nina — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:48:40 -0000

I would like to compare the society and parenting in US with the society and parenting in a different country - like China or Vietnam. I was there and what I've learned really changed my life.

Parents in US expect their children to grow up by themselves. Or wait for someone else to do their job - teachers and relatives. But more then often those who teach them are most unsuitable. Parent has to TALK with his kid.

In China and Vietnam parents raise their kids. Sex is not a taboo there. There are no teen mothers there. I was stunned at first. But after while I realized why is that. They dedicate time to their kids and are treating them the proper way - mature way. Talk with them openly, they are your kids. If you can't talk with then and show them what life is about, who should? Someone who will make a great mistake or will even abuse that right.

Isn't it surprising that this guy gets votes? This just tells you how many Americans think the same way he does. Shouldn't we go forward, not backwards in time?

Re: Comic actor Bernie Mac dies

I was very surprised when I found about his death. It's because I was watching his movie with Ashton Kutcher the day before, and he looked so young and energized. I remember thinking: This guy succeeded in life, made some great movies in past 5 years and can finally enjoy life. It's shocking to know that everything you have can disappear so fast.

That's a really interesting contest, too bad I missed it. I know few of them that would make you laugh. Hm, someone should make a blog about them :)

Ok. I'll write this date into my diary. And when my grandchildren ask me when did it all began, I will tell them it was today, when man programmed the robot to chase him around.

Be careful though. I am sure there will be some people who will want to play the drums themselves. I suggest you go and strengthen your abs a bit :)

Re: The credit card sized tool

You could probably do repairs with this and earn for a living. Your costs - $2.99 only :)

Heh. I wonder, will they produce a car that you can be driven with while you play Wii? ;)

Re: Back Up through the USB

It really is a neat solution. I am used to saving my important data on other computer, flash memory and storing important files on email.

Re: Pet Toy Hack - How to Make an Internet-Enabled Pet Toy!

Nina — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:06:08 -0000

It's an interesting idea, not only to keep your pet busy, but to have some fun. I can't even remember how many videos with cat+laser I saw. They always crack me up.

This one is too cute. Should be great with a summer dress and sandals.

Interesting design. Although, I am not sure what are magnets for.

Re: Entrecard, Is It Under The Influence?

Nina — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 04:37:04 -0000

I read about the fall of Entrecard at Blogger Unleashed ( I believe it was about year or more ago ) and I am surprised it is still there. It seems that there are always new people who do not know what is happening there. I completely understand how you feel, especially when you take into account that it's been done before (1MillWiki).

But I can't say that guy has bad ideas. If only he could follow through them.

Re: Ad Optimization is SEO

Nina — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 04:42:26 -0000

You are completely right about the searchers and readers part. And I love the way you push the Ads down, so the part with Ads By Google can't be seen without scrolling.

I see one flaw on your theme though. There are too many options for searcher to click, and that means lower CTR. I agree that you should have less ads (like you said in one of the posts here), but other links on your site are also a competition to those sweet ads.

I think people should know this and that there are more blogger who are ready to write about this, because it's the truth. I support this kind of thinking and you shouldn't feel bad about writing the post. Heh, and you were already prepared to ban some IPs. Haha!

Re: Ad Optimization is SEO

Nina — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:09:31 -0000

No problem. It's just something I experienced by myself. And if you raise CTR by just 1%, it's a success. Especially if you have large traffic. And your blog network does ;)

Re: How Many Blogs Do you Need to Make Money Online?

Nina — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:31:54 -0000

I see you have some great advices in these last few posts when it comes to making money online. I wanted to point you to one resource I use. Not that I think you need it since you have your own network that's kicking ass, but just to get few more ideas and increase your knowledge in overall. Blog in question is http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com/

If you have some time, read few posts there, because I am sure you will be satisfied with the information you find.

Re: Adsense Link Units Versus Regular Ad Units

Nina — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 16:02:10 -0000

Hm, why do I feel like I robbed you?

The thing is, you just showed me that something I was 100% against actually brings better results. But my experiment had a different outcome then yours. It seems that something changed during the last time I tested this. I will have to try Link Units again.

Thanks for this information Max, I really appreciate it. Now I have to do some changes at my blogs. And sorry for the $ loss :(
