I have my own tech store

by

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on My World yet, but I won some fantastic software a few weeks ago in a blog contest. The software is called StoreStacker and it allows you to easily build a store that carries products from Amazon, Ebay, and a few other big online stores.

I built my first store on a sub-domain of one of my Tech blogs and it only took minutes to set up! Well ok … setting up categories for the products etc took a little longer than that, but once it came down to filling the store with products that part only took minutes! It’s amazing! I now have an online store with maybe 5,000 products or perhaps even more than that. I know the sitemap is HUGE!

I set up the store to carry high tech items like computers, computer accessories, computer games, video games like xbox 360 vintage PC’s, HDTV’s, digital cameras and more.

I probably won’t make many sales until I start getting some traffic to the store, but it’s a neat concept and you can’t beat free software! When I have time I create a few more stores – one that fit with my particular sites niches. Those stores will probably do better than the first store that I just created.

Have any of you tried using Storestacker or any other type of software to build your own store almost automatically?





So who’s going to Blogworld this year?

by

Almost every site I go to these days – well the social blogging platforms like Mybloglog, Blogcatalog and other BIG sites seem to have ads for the Blogworld expo this weekend.

I went last year and I thought it was great. I learned a lot- especially since I was also attending another blogging convention that was going on at the same time and I had a great time.

Of course it was in November last year. I don’t know what the temperatures are in Vegas at this time of year, but I do know that by November they’re perfect for anyone who’s thinking of taking one of those infamous Vegas vacations lol. It was quite comfortable.

Anyway … I guess I’m getting a little weary seeing the same ads on all the big sites. Perhaps if I were going to Blogworld I’d feel differently, but since I’m not … enough already!

It’s kind of like when you’re visiting a lot of blogs and you keep seeing posts talking abut the same product or service everywhere. 😉

Anyone going to Blogworld this year? Hmm I guess if you’re going you might already be there or traveling to Vegas right now.

Achy joints

by

I’m so achy these days. I think all the rain we had this summer is getting to my joints. I have Crohn’s disease and that can affect the joints as well, so the combination of a wet season and an autoimmune disorder attacking my body is wrecking havoc!

I’ve been talking more calcium and tablets to help with the joint ache, but I’ve been wondering if wearing a magnetic bracelet might help. I’m at the point where it’s probably worth a try … especially since it’s getting cooler outside and it won’t be long before winter hits. I’m sure I’ll be even more achy come winter.

If you have achy joints, maybe caused by arthritis, what works for you as far as managing joint pain?

We were so lazy on our vacation!

by

Chris was on vacation for the last two weeks and I just realized this morning that we didn’t even do the laundry once during his StayCation. LOL

It’s ok, we’re not smelly … we have lots of clothes. I guess I’ll have to put a few loads on tomorrow though!

We don’t have a dishwasher and we even managed to go several days without doing the dishes! By the time we did them on Saturday we had enough to fill both kitchen sinks.

I guess we were being lazy. We were going out and doing summery things in the city – like the hike I described in my Horses in the City post. We also had lots of drop in guests or went to visit relatives and friends during Chris’ vacation so we were busy, but in a relaxed kind of way. I guess that’s why my posts slowed down for a while too.

What did you do for your summer vacation – if you took one?

Leaking shower head – drip, drip, drip

by

Late last night after Chris had gone to bed and the dog was fast asleep I started hearing this funny noise … blop, blop …. bloop … I’d been watching TV in the living room so I turned the TV volume down and got up to investigate the sound.

As it turned out it was the the upstairs shower head that was leaking. That makes two shower faucets that we have to replace. The one in the basement has always leaked. Chris is the main user of the basement shower and he’s tried to fix that leak several times, even new shower heads don’t help.

So what he does for the basements leaking shower head is to turn off the water supply to the shower after he’s used it. Luckily the water control for that shower is easily accessible since our basement isn’t finished.

I think the upstairs leak will be easier to fix just by replacing the shower head or a washer, but the basement is a problem. We’re planning on renovating the basement sometime in the near future and we’ll be redoing the plumbing when we do it so we might be able to get by with Chris’ fix for a while longer.

Don’t you hate leaky taps and shower heads?
