Valentine’s Day Screensavers & Wallpapers

It’s Valentine’s Day and what have I found for you? It’s Valentine’s Day screensavers and wallpaper from ScreenSavers.com, the leader in screensavers and desktop wallpapers!

What do I like about Valentine’s Day? It’s all the pink and red colours. I just love them. Personally, I do not use screensavers because I am ALWAYS required to look at the screen, there is no chance at all to use any screensavers.

However, I do change my desktop wallpaper regularly. Since my computer is switched on almost the whole day and night, I love sprucing up my desktop with a different image and surprise myself when I first turn on the computer monitor. Sometimes, I don’t even remember that I have new wallpaper, that’s why!

The only thing I do not like about downloading wallpaper from ScreenSavers.com is the toolbar they force us to install and a desktop shortcut to an affiliate. Aw… come on, I am sure they can provide these to us totally free?

For The Love of Reggae & World Music

If you have read my old posts, you would know that I have been searching for sites that offer free music. Gone are the days of downloading songs from the internet, unless we want to risk being fined or jailed. Looking for quality original music is not easy but looking for free original reggae music is harder still.

This morning, I was told about a free reggae community site where members get to share their love for reggae music. Contributors are required to register with the website at http://www.versionist.com and although it is free, a minimum $4 contribution via PayPal to the site is much appreciated.

If you just want to listen to great reggae music, you don’t even have to register. I was even able to download the mp3 files to play on my computer or iPod. I think that Versionist is providing an excellent platform for aspiring reggae musicians and music lovers to share the love for reggae and world music.

Like I mentioned earlier, Versionist is a community portal so you can expect to find blogs, forums and sharing of photos and videos by members, apart from music. I checked out a couple of blogs and it is kind of cute that the blogs have the same layout as the homepage and forum.

My question is, are you a fan of Reggae, Accapella, Ska or World music? Visit Versionist and explore the talent of members! You will be surprised at their creativity!

Obligation-Free Quotation For Faxless Payday Loan

If you are so desperate for some quick cash that you are contemplating applying for payday loans then do yourself a favor by comparing the various companies that offer payday loans, check their terms and conditions, repayment schedule and most importantly, their interest rate.

There are some lenders who would require you to go through a lengthy process while there are some that offer No Fax Payday Loans and there is not even a document that you are required to submit for verification. Whatever policy a lending company has, make sure that you understand thoroughly what you will be putting yourself through should you take out a loan from them.

I think that you should know that payday loans come with great responsibility and you have to make sure that you will be able to repay the loan on time without letting the interest snowball or you would be in a worse financial shape than before taking out the loan.

Quick Facts On Top Online Casinos

Do you know where you can read reviews on at least fifty online casinos? If you do not know, then you should check out Pro360. This is a very up-to-date and comprehensive portal that caters to the serious gambler who prefers to play casino online. I prefer this personally too.

On Pro360, not only will you be able to read the reviews and get a quick low down on each of the fifty top online casinos, you will also be able to get tips and tricks on playing to WIN. This is of course an acquired skill but then it takes a lot of reading too and you can read about then on Pro360.

It does not matter what casino games you are into. If you check out the site, Pro360, you will be able to see all the casino games and sports gambling on the header. These are the games and more that you can play on any one of the top online casinos.

Blogging And More On Thoughts.com

If you are a blogger who started a blog independently, you would appreciate how difficult it is to bring up the blog from scratch, building traffic, loyal readership and ranks. However, if you join a Blogging Community and start your blog from there, it will be a lot easier because of the ready readership and traffic among members.

Two months ago, I was introduced to a blogging community at http://www.thoughts.com/. On this portal, once you register an account with them, you will be given a free blog where you can easily create your own space online, sharing your thoughts on anything that catches your fancy.

Each new post is given the necessary exposure with a link from the homepage of thoughts.com under Recent Blog Posts and your posts can also be easily searched via cloud tag. You can also be featured in the member’s photos section. All these are very important features that will bring you readership. Let’s face it, it does not matter how good you write if nobody reads it, you know?

If you are up to more networking, Thoughts has a very active forum where you can socialize and link your blog from your signature. Make use of the free space for photos by sharing your photos with readers. I notice that readers like to see photos of the bloggers. Perhaps this makes them feel as if they KNOW the blogger.

Out of the so many bloggers on Thoughts.com, how do you know who are the better bloggers? Well, members of the community get to rate others’ posts. These are listed under Popular Posts.

Thoughts.com is actually more than a free blogging platform but a full-fledged blogging AND social networking site. If I have the time, I would really like to start a new blog there but as it is, I already have more than ten blogs!!

Facebook Favorite Games Application

I wrote in a post not too long ago that I have had friends sending me invites to join them on Facebook. When Facebook was newly launched, they adopted a closed door policy where you can’t know what’s happening with the site unless you sign up.

To be frank, I don’t really want to join another social site because I don’t use these sites and only log in when I receive a private message but with all the invitations to join, I feel like I am snubbing my friends so I may succumb to the pressure.

A few days ago, I read that Facebook is very addictive. There are many applications that we could add to our profile like the Favorite Games application.

If you have read my other blog, you would know that I am someone who gets easily addicted to games. As it is, I am already spending too much time playing games. If I were to set up a profile on Facebook, I could add this Favorite Games to my profile to track all the games that I have played, am playing and would like to play.

I could also track other people’s game profile and this is the best way to look for interesting games to try out and buy instead of searching everywhere on the internet for news and reviews. Oh, oh… there goes my resolution to stay away from games!!!

Shall I sign up with Facebook yet? I am trying to hold off as long as possible!

Shogging Price Comparison and Merchant Review Site

I have been to many price comparison websites which allow us to compare prices for the same product from different online merchants or retail shops and I have read through many merchant review posts on blogs. But when you add these two powerful features together, you will get Shogging!

Since it is going to be Halloween soon, I decided to check out if there are any great deals on Shogging before I Buy Costumes. According to Shogging, the featured store for Halloween costumes is BuyCostumes.com. They are currently having a blowout clearance sale where costumes are going for up to 90% off retail price. I think this is a great opportunity to buy their Halloween costumes!

Shogging has also provided an opportunity for consumers to give their review of the merchants. This is a good avenue to share their experience shopping from these online merchants. Before making a purchase, it will do you good to check their deals and offers and read the product and/or merchant reviews first!
