Banners and Amazon Associates

-
Searched and looked up a few blogs, searching for ideas on how to decorate and fill in my new blog. Many of them have banners and Uniersity of Liverpool advert on. A little reserach showed that Google's Adsense can display things automatically, based on the main theme of your blog. Sounds good - applied - then got rejected.. :(
  
  
Apparently you need to start writing before you can have this functionality. ("your site must contain enough text content for our specialists to review and for our crawlers to identify relevant ads to show on your pages.") I guess I will have to write a few posts first before trying that again.


Another popular option that came up was the Amazon associate, which let you display links to any amazon page.
 
Nice idea I suppose, after all I do get most of my things from amazon, so they will have pretty much what I have and recommend. So, joined Amazon associate, got accepted without trouble this time.

So, first task - tried to put up a MP3 player. They won't let you listen to the full song of course. But you all know where to look up "alternative sources". It has to be said, the prices of the music are actually much cheaper than how much they used to be, 89p is still affordable.

Playing around with the Widget option, finally I have some music on the blog:

woohoo! success.
Spent ages tweaking the size of the gadget and its location, which was a HTML nightmare, but that's another story.

IWEB trading platform, service review

-
Image
I had a frustrating experience today with my UK trading platform, IWEB. Upon logging in this morning, I was startled to see a message that my account was restricted and to call a provided number. I was perplexed about what could have triggered this. I called customer service, who speculated that an expired debit card on file may be the issue. After updating my details, I was told access would resume shortly. However, I remained unable to access my account the entire day, which was aggravating. While I understand technical problems occur, clearer communication and urgency from IWEB would have been appreciated in resolving this issue faster. IWEB is one of the ISA providers and shares dealing platforms in the UK, part of Lloyds Banking Group. I have been with them for several years. Customer service is usually friendly, and there is a web-chat service which I like. They offer the most competitive 'cost per trade' without a minimum number of trades per month (that I know of), and

What Gaming Taught Me About Life

    For all the young gamer out there Lately, after completing my professional qualification, I’ve had more time to pursue my hobbies and gaming has been one of my favorites. I find it both stimulating and relaxing to experience different worlds and challenges. I also believe that gaming in moderation has some real-life benefits. For example, it can teach problem-solving skills, teamwork, and creativity. These are all skills that can be applied to other areas of life, such as work and school. I believe that successful gamers can transfer these gaming skills and mindsets to other areas of life. Follow my channel, I need subscribers!
