More and more people are wanting to start their own websites these days. People are choosing to work from home and start web based home businesses, people are starting blogs and people are sharing information online more than ever.
Web hosting is something that you really want to look in to, not all hosting companies are the same. You want a company with great customer service that will help you when there is a problem. Problems happen, there isn’t much you can do to avoid them, so it is best to be sure that you have a hosting company that will be there for you to help you out when things happen.
Brain Host offers 24/7 customer service. They are available to you via email and phone support. They even promise customers a 99.9% network uptime. Those are pretty fantastic stats to work with.
Brain Host is also affordable. They offer flexible pricing options so you can get just what you need. They have hosting starting at only $7.95 a month which would be perfect for those of you looking to start a self hosted blog. They offer unlimited disc space, unlimited email accounts, unlimited domain hosting, site-building tools and even a 1 click wordpress install.
Check them out if you are in need of hosting!
I mean it’s kind of hard to reach deadlines and keep up with customer orders if your internet connection is not reliable. There is no way I would be where I am today online if I was still on dial up. If you have not upgraded, you really should look into it. Broadband connections have become a lot more affordable in recent years.
Another video game villain that sticks out in my head is Donkey Kong! That beast was hard to beat as he trough the barrels as you tried to save the girl. To me that stuff was hard! Now I look at all the video games kids are playing and find myself wondering how they handle it? I was stressed by some lil ghosts and a gorilla.
More recently it has to be the zombies from Resident Evil. Holy cow! I never thought a video game could scare me. This one did it. I have a fear of zombies anyhow and to see those creatures coming after a character that represented me sure got my heart pumping. Darn near panic attacks! I would play this at the tattoo shop in Virginia and get scared…everyone laughed at me. Those dudes were villains…totally evil!
What are your most memorable video game villains?

Below is a sampling of some current projects:
Amanda from Confessions from Householdsix decided she wanted to move from blogger to wordpress. Along with the move, she was ready for a new look as well. I went with Amanda’s personality and blog title to create her new header. I personally think it is a great match and works for her site. She pretty much gave me full creative freedom, I love that!
From what I can tell she is liking her switch to wordpress and is quickly getting the hang of the new blogging platform. Be sure to go check her out, she’s pretty awesome!
- An SUV, preferably a Suburban so that we could fit the entire family in comfortably and travel.
- I would purchase land, lots of it. Enough so that we could have a huge garden.
- I would build the home of our dreams, totally with a wrap around porch and a loft area.
- I would have a pool installed, maybe one that was semi enclosed, like with netted walls to keep the bugs away
- 4 Wheelers for the entire family! Imagine the fun!
- A house in Texas for my mom and dad, they live all the way in Georgia.
- New bedroom sets for all the girls, Morgan wants Brown and Blue Polka Dots.
- A Jeep for Jeremy, he sold his to move us to Texas.
- A horse for Morgan, she has always wanted one and has a huge love for them.
- A hot tub for my poor aching body.
Wow, it was actually kind of hard to list 10 things! There isn’t much we need, but many things that we want are very pricey. It would take a lot of work and a lot of saving, aside from emergency loans, haha…anyone want to give me one? What would you buy?

Lori, at My Kinda Rain, decided to make the jump from blogger to wordpress and wanted to start fresh with a brand new design! Keeping the same color theme of her original site will make the change a more familiar place to her readers.
We found a stock image that she loved, but the family just wasn’t quite right to represent her family. I changed it up and now it is perfect! Lori loves her new look and is excited about being on her own site! Congrats on the move Lori and please let me know if you need anything else!
NGKSoft is a New York, NY web design company specializing in website design, advanced web programming, e-commerce systems and search engine optimization (SEO). SEO is very important for your business site. I’m a graphics girl but when it comes to advanced programming and SEO, I would still have a lot to learn to be in the league of these NYC designers. I prefer to stick to the artsy side of things and do graphics only.
Some of the SEO Services you can look for are detailed keyword research and analysis. Expert link building to help make your site more popular. Authoritative content writing to keep them coming back and also setting up the structure of your site to be more search engine friendly. This is so very important! You want all of this included into your business site. It does you no good to have a great looking site if traffic is not coming in. People need to find your site to find your business!

First of all, I have to tell you how much I love the title of this site and how awesome Kadi is! She truly keeps it 100% real and she rocks! She came to me for a new design…one that is her! At first she was opposed to using her images, but I begged and begged! She sent me her gorgeous pin-up photos and I messed with them til they were the look I had in my head. I put it all together leaning towards a comic book or pulp novel type feel. I totally fell in love with the graphics from this site!
