BlueFur Blog 2.0

If you haven’t noticed our blog redesign now named BlueFur 2.0 is online. We do have a few small changes we would like to make to it from some of your previous suggestions.

I would like to thanks Nate and his team at Unique Blog Designs for doing a great job. If you need to take your blog design to the next level then you may want to consider using Nate’s services.

If your on a tight budget you can download our free WordPress theme.

First Facebook Web Hosting Sign-up

Published on Sep 17, 2007   //  Emerging Markets

FacebookToday we received our first sale from a person who randomly found us on Facebook. BlueFur has been on Facebook for less then a month now. This customer contacted me in regards to using WordPress even though they were not a customer yet. I tried my best to help them but it turns out their host was not able to fit their needs. They signed up with us and should have WordPress already installed now thanks to Fantastico.

If you own a business then I suggest you create a group similar to our BlueFur Fans group. Then push out an invite to your friends and customers. The viral nature of Facebook should work for you too. Another tip is to keep your group updated with new pictures, posts and news. This will bring your group above the fold and draw new people into your group.

If you are apprehensive about being on Facebook add yourself as your company instead of using your name. Joining Facebook could result in increased sales or traffic to your site so join up today.

Great Gadgets: HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion

Published on Sep 17, 2007   //  Gadgets

Navigating your way around town just got a little more interesting. There are plenty of portable GPS devices available on the market and it can sometimes be difficult to choose the one that’s right for you. It doesn’t help that they all start to sound the same after a while, proclaiming that they boast the latest SiRFStar III technology, turn-by-turn directions, and a huge library filled with points of interest. At the very least, the HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion will be fun to look at.

That’s because instead of providing you with a boring two-dimensional map, the directions given are in three dimensions and what’s more, landmarks are actually depicted on the screen itself. As you can see through through the provided picture above (courtesy of Aving.net), the Eiffel Tower is just to your left. Even lesser known buildings appear to be included in the maps, because a little further down the road to the right is a cluster of buildings.

Other features on the HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion include a 4.3-inch WVGA touchscreen display, Windows CE 5.0, a 600MHz processor, 1700mAh battery, SD memory expansion, and Bluetooth 2.0.

Discussion: Make Money Online

Weekly Discussion

I have noticed an abundance of blogs that try to niche in the topic of making money online. I believe that this topic has become over saturated at this time and that there really is no value in having any more blogs on that topic.

What do you think? Is that topic being over discussed on blogs now?

Personally I think that if you are going to start a blog on making money online then choose one aspect of it and then become an expert on that one topic. An example would be to blog just about affiliate sales online.

What other topics would work?
