Florblanca Resort Costa Rica

March 25, 2007 by Tricia

My husband and I haven’t done much traveling together as a couple. That doesn’t mean that we don’t want to! It’s just that between our jobs, my being sick, and the two of us having gone back to school in the past we just haven’t been able to find the time when we could take a really nice vacation together.

One of the places that is near the top of our list to visit is Costa Rica.

You might need a little bit of background on Chris and I to understand why Costa Rica is near the top of our most desired vacation spots. To keep the story short I’ll just say that Chris and I really love wildlife, in particular we enjoy seeing and keeping reptiles and amphibians as pets. A holiday in a land known for it’s diverse flora and fauna just as Costar Rica would be ideal for us.

I was visiting the Florblanca.com site just now as they specialize in costa rica travel. The site is just gorgeous. It’s full of photos of Costa Rica and has information on just about anything you could possibly want to know about this absolutely gorgeous country.

There are so many things one could do in Costa Rica and Forblanca.com lists it all. There is information about the Florblanca resorts accommodations, excursions – such as “fly out” adventures, Costa Rica’s wildlife, flora and fauna, activities, special events and even information about how to get to the Florblanca resort.

Even if you’ve never thought of taking a vacation in Costa Rica. I urge you to visit the site just to look at the lovely photography. It’s a beautiful place, and I wouldn’t be surprised if after browsing the site and looking at all the photos if Costa Rica ended up being put on your short list of places to visit.

SimpleTags a great WordPress plugin

March 25, 2007 by Tricia

I’ve been busy working on organizing, fine tuning and even changing the themes for several of the blogs that my husband and I work on.

One of the new WordPress plugins that I’ve added to a few of our sites is called SimpleTags. It’s a wordpress plugin that allows me to tag each post, bring up related posts, and create meta tags for each page of my site, as well as a category and tag cloud.

Take a look at my category section on the right. I have a tag cloud there now so that you can see what subjects I talk about most. The tag cloud is in a roll up menu that I made using the Flooble Expandable menu script, and I’ve labeled the cloud “Category and Tag Cloud”. You can’t miss it if you’re looking for it.

If you do take a peek at the tag cloud you’ll notice that one of the biggest topics right now is “General Musings”. Now really … not everything I write about can be categorized as general can it? In fact there’s probably very few things that really are general. I just got lazy when I created this site and didn’t use categories as well as I should have from the start.

I know that a lot of people make this mistake. How many of you have a huge category section called “Uncategorized”? Yeah, I suppose the subjects you’ve talked about really are uncategorized if you left them in the default WordPress category, aren’t they? LOL

If you want to optimize your site so that some of the topics you write about will end up coming up on search engine search result pages you really should go over your site and make sure that each of your posts are categorized properly. Or that your posts are at least in somewhat descriptive categories. Believe me – you’ll end up getting a few more visitors if you do categorize your posts properly, and your current visitors will be able to explore your site and read any posts that you’ve written about on subjects that interest them too.

Adorable new Spring line of baby clothes

March 25, 2007 by Tricia

Chris and I have been hoping to have a baby of our own for a long time now. Unfortunately my illness makes it a bit harder to become pregnant, but we are hoping that before the year is over that a baby might be on it’s way.

Since babies are on my mind these days I’ve been paying a little bit more attention to stores that sell baby clothing and accessories. One of the stores that I’ve bookmarked is called Baby CZ. I’m sure that a lot of the mothers who read my site will be interested in Baby CZ.

Baby CZ was founded and is managed by fashion designer Carolina Zapf. The store has built a great reputation and has become well known for it’s line of luxury baby clothing. In fact, they’ve just come out with their new Spring line and it’s on sale too!

The baby and children’s clothing lines that you’ll find at Baby CZ are well made using quality materials. I’ve gone through the site looking at many of the designs and I think the styles are just adorable. You’ll find everything from dresses, cardigans, jackets, blouses, accessories and more at this online store. They even have cashmere baby clothes!

If you have a baby or young child, or need to buy a gift for someone that does visit Baby CZ today.

No new episodes?

March 25, 2007 by Tricia

Shouldn’t all the good TV shows be back by now? I thought for sure that all the show I normally enjoy watching on Sunday would have returned with new episodes this week.

Desperate Housewives is a rerun, Studio 60 seems to have been off the air for a few weeks now and a lot of other shows are re-running old episodes too.

I think this has been one of the worst television seasons ever. It’s not that there are no good shows on, it’s just that they keep taking excessively long breaks between new episodes.

Is anyone else sick of watching re-runs yet? I’m ready to rebel!

Protect your online privacy by hiding your IP address

I’ve always been concerned about online privacy, probably more so because I’m a woman.

Have you ever tried looking up someones IP address in order to find out more about them? Sometimes it’s really easy to discover things that others might wish to keep private.

Now just to explain a little bit. An IP address is a unique internet ID that’s assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider. Everyone has one. Your IP address might change each time you go online or it might always be the same address for as long as you are serviced by your current Internet provider.

If some really wants to find out who you are, and even where you live, your IP address might be able to tell them that information very quickly and easily.

Isn’t that a scary thought?

NetConceal incorporated was established in 2005. The company has concentrated on developing software products to protect online privacy and has created online security solutions for personal and corporate customers.

Now you can take advantage of NetConceal’s expertise and use their new NetConceal Anonymity Shield to hide your IP address.

The ability to hide your IP address that the NetConceal Anonymity Shield offers will virtually protect your privacy and keep websites from collecting your personal data when you surf online. Netconceal works by leaving random fake IP addresses whenever you visit a website that collects data.

You can use the Netconceal Anonymity Shield while surfing the web or doing any other online activity such as emailing your friends, relatives and businesses, or even when you’re using P2P file sharing, or chatting online using instant messengers.

The website knew I was located in Canada since I’m not yet concealing my IP address, so when I went to check to see how much this software costs it gave me the price in Canadian dollars. It’s $30.48 Canadian, and the US price is $24.95. That seems like a fairly low price to pay for online privacy and security doesn’t it?

If you’d like, you may download a trial copy of the NetConceal Anonymity Shield prior to buying the software program. A trial version will work for either 8 days, or 8 runs – whichever comes first.
