What a difference in mortgage rates!

by

I’ve been talking with some of my friends who also happen to be home owners and we were comparing our mortgage rates. What I found out was that california mortgage rate are a bit higher than they are here in Ontario.

I’m wondering now if the mortgage rates are a little higher because the US economy isn’t doing quite as well as Canada’s? I haven’t heard any recent rates but the last time I did I think our unemployment rate was lower and well … our dollar is certainly climbing. If our dollar gets much higher it will hurt our economy.

What do you think?




Visitors leaving website links

by

I’ve noticed that one of the newish frequent commenter’s on several of my blogs is a Las Vegas Real Estate agent. She signs her posts with her business name and I know after reading some discussions on a forum that this has thrown a few people off.

Why? Well, we all get spammers coming around trying to leave comments so they’ll get a link to their site. This isn’t the case with this lady though. Yes she is a real estate agent but she’s also a blogger and she leaves legitimate comments that relate to the post.

Hey, I’ve got blogs and websites and there’s been times when I’ve been on a site that related to one of my websites and I’ve left the address for my site when I signed up to leave the comment. I don’t mind when others do this from time to time … I mean, not everyone has a blog, yet they still might enjoy reading them.

It’s the people that leave multiple links in their comments – even in legitimate comments that bother me. If the link doesn’t really relate to the post or the comment I really don’t care for the extra links.

I’ve removed the nofollow tags from my sites and as a result I’m actually giving away a tiny bit of my sites PR for each outgoing link. I don’t like to give out extra if there’s no good reason for it.

Keeping up with all the blogs

by

I find that I haven’t been getting to this blog as often as I’d like to post all the interesting tech related finds that I come across almost every day.

I don’t know if any of you reading this have more than one blog or website, but I can tell you that the more you create the busier you get! No kidding right?

I’ve been so busy with other work lately that I haven’t had time to do one of the main things that used to always allow me to keep up with my blogging and have regular articles daily or at least almost daily.

What I used to do was prepare articles in advance. If I was in a writing mode I’d get busy and write a number of articles at once and store them as drafts. That allowed me to release one a day or as needed without having to think about it too much.

I think that’s one of the main things that I have to get back into doing in order to feel like I’m maintaining my websites properly again.
