If you’re reading this, odds are you’ve encountered our power rankings over the last couple of months. They started as a COVID project for my kids and I; For years we’ve all been obsessed with them, and as many of us are, convinced that we could do a far better version than any out there. It has been an amazing experience; If you’re a football fan or family I encourage you to give it a shot. Every Saturday for 2 months my 4 sons and I have taken over the living room. Each Team has an index card with the…

It’s official. Joe Biden has won and Donald Trump is out.

Some people will be celebrating, others won’t be. But what we have to realize here is that this is democracy and it’s time for change. We have had 4 years of uncertainty and trying to make sense of Donald Trump. It’s been hard. Now it’s time for the real politicians to mop up the mess Trump has made. Democrats and Republicans alike have tidying up to do. This isn’t about the party that you support, it’s about removing a dangerous man from becoming more dangerous. It’s about giving people…

In October 2020 I decided to start using WordPress. Something I had pondered on for a while but every time I went over to WordPress it just seemed so overwhelming. Especially since I was used to the very basic Blogger platform. Or basic in comparison to WordPress anyway.

So I spent over a week moving some articles across to WordPress and also creating some new ones.

I took the time to familiarize myself with the platform as best as I could, but there is going to be a whole lot of learning to be done with WordPress.

I had seen…

Are you an Amazon affiliate and trying to figure out exactly what the best products to put on your site for your specific niche are?

Amazon Autocomplete

There’s a very simple way of finding out. Something I didn’t think of initially, until it occurred to me that when you search on Amazon, it suggests search terms. Amazon Autocomplete. These are popular searches by other users of Amazon. A bit like Google suggest.

This is probably already a well known tool to use by some Amazon affiliates, but not all.

So here I am sharing this with you, so that you…

There’s nothing like a series about a pandemic in the middle of a pandemic. Right?

Well Amazon recently released the series Utopia. Funnily this was filmed before the current 2020 pandemic which is COVID-19.

10 Reasons why you should watch Utopia.

1. It’s currently free to watch on Amazon Prime.
2. It’s current, even though at the time of filming, it wasn’t. Which is a little scary. Utopia is actually a remake of a British version from 2013.
3. It has a lot of twists and turns.
4. It isn’t predictable
5. It’s great to binge watch — but it requires your full attention as it gets complicated!
6. There are a few…

I didn’t go to the doctors because I had symptoms of diabetes, I went because I was having abdominal pains. Not internally, just under the skin — near the surface. So I was fairly certain it wasn’t anything internal.

However I had numerous blood tests and scans and although to this day I still don’t know what the pain I am suffering is, I was diagnosed with diabetes type II.

This was somewhat of a shock to me, but with my diet not being particularly great, I guess it wasn’t surprising.

I was put on metformin tablets, to be taken…

Finding out your site is unreachable when you submit it to Google Adsense using the Blogger platform.

I tried different ways to solve the problem I had with connecting my site to Google Adsense and the whole ‘your site is unreachable’ reply I kept getting. Various article posts online took me in different directions and had completely different steps. One site even took me through a bunch of steps which ended up where my site was completely off line and I had to spend around half an hour to an hour researching how to get it back so that the site would work again.

A lot has changed in the 10 years or so since I last…
