Well, For me, the first thing that caught my attention was the Google Page Rank notification to the right. I understand that it let's you know the importance of a website based on how the Google search engine ranks it. I believe there are things that it uses like link-ins, authority of the site linking to, traffic, and other things that might not be disclosed in the complex calculation. My first impression is that this doesn't really give me any information about the site. It could be that the site has been in existence for a long time and over time many have linked to it as referrers, but it could be that the owners are savvy and have strategically planted their own link-ins in many authority places online. It's kind of like saying to someone that because all your friends and family use my service, I'm right for you, too. It's a hazy thought, I know. It's just how I would rate the use of Page Rank as a factor in a choice for a website, but I can see how one might want to at least know. The next thing that I noticed was the Data Center locations. I guess it would help to know if your data center is in the US or some other country, but I don't think it matters too much. It matters if you are trying to determine where to host your sensitive data or if there is some conflict in the area that might cause your data to be at risk of destruction or compromise. Other than that, it might be okay to know. But I think a better thing to look at if you are concerned about the site going down is redundancy. Look at how the data is backed up and how many different servers are doing it. Also, knowing that a company has a server in more than one city, state, or even site location is better than knowing that they have a data center 2 miles away. Personally, the things that I would look for in a comparison site are the following: MySQL Databases (so if you build a list you don't have to go elsewhere) Subdomains that look like subdomain.domain.com instead of domain.com/subdomain (or at least the option) PHP Script (for placing certain codes and things to site like Chrontab which is just a kind of clock in background but unseen by visitors... in case you add a schedule of events with your list) Space (how much stuff will you be putting up...if you are going to be doing a lot of video, how much will you put up and how much traffic do you expect to be used daily or monthly?) Bandwidth (this will come into play if you have a lot of traffic and not enough monthly bandwidth...back to video use above) I hope this helps a bit. Good luck. There are some other things, but they are just dependent upon feel of the way the site looks and is set up. Also, if you don't like the level of control given by the site, you probably shouldn't stay with the particular host. Growfinancially

I suppose that because this link is from back in August might explain why it is no longer valid. But just in case I missed a post saying that it would be removed, I apologize for beating a dead horse. Anyway, I suppose I will move on to the next website to review. Thank you.

Well, I have 2 dogs. Ripley is a greyhound mix. Mosley is a cattle dog and boxer mix. Mosley is a fairly quiet dog and mostly calm. He becomes less calm when there's meat in the place as I guess most dogs are. Anyway, Ripley used to be the kind of dog who would bark when the doorbell rings; someone walks down the street if front door open; if he heard an abrupt banging noise; etc. The thing that I had read somewhere a long time ago was that you have to catch the pet in the moment to correct the situation. Obviously, there is no reason to tell your dog that what he did a few minutes ago was not okay. Their memories are not very long when it comes to something like that as they are random and not really measurable to the dog. Some people would argue that dogs are stupid animals, but I would tend to disagree. Think about the time you feed your dog. I feed my dogs their regular meal at about 7 or 8 pm nightly. When it's that time, they do not let me forget. They will whine and moan until I get the picture that it is feeding time. But when it comes to things that they did wrong a few moments ago, they don't remember and actually get confused when you try to scold them at a later time. I believe this is where some owners get in trouble with animal abuse and making a dog scared of you. Mosley, when I got him, was a victim to some sort of abuse because it took a long time before he wouldn't get scared at any sudden movement. Now, Ripley still does, at times, bark at sharp and abrupt noises. What I did was try to recreate some of those moments at various times in the day to be able to correct him on the spot. What I would do was tell him "NO!" when he would bark at a sharp sound like a thud on a piece of would like the leg of a chair. When pizza was ordered, he used to run to the door and act really crazy at the prospect of a visitor. I would always point at him and say "NO!" right when the bell rung. Eventually, he began to look for me to point at him and say "NO!" when the doorbell would ring. I think, in some ways, I may have traded one problem for another. I consider it a problem, to some degree, that he has to look at me because he really wants to bark and go crazy. On the other hand, I see it as a success that he knows he should not be barking at these things. I will say that I don't generally say much to him if he barks at night from an outside sound because I don't want to take that away from him. I also don't want to lose the built-in home protection he offers. I hope this helps you with your situation if you have not resolved it. Thank you so much for listening. Growfinancially.

Twitch, I certainly appreciated reading your post. I agree that there are many errors and typos written into content you might find here or anywhere else for that matter. I also agree that there are things that writers, novice or expert, could do to better their finished product. The way I personally see it is that there are some writings out there that are glaring messes on the surface. You can't help but to feel a certain twinge in your seat from having to read these posts, articles, etc. But doesn't content outweigh these writing problems? I might be inclined to think that it does. I would much rather read an article chocked full of useful information and poorly written than one that is eloquently written but almost completely void of any real information. Now, I don't mean that I am willing to keep reading something that is a complete dread to read. This is something that I don't really believe I can explain in greater detail than to leave it at being a subjective view on an article. As far as writing rules go, I do believe that we need rules to communicate, or we could end up in a state of complete communication disarray. We we all just be talking in randomness, but I think that this would then become a language upon itself. The rules, I believe, are in place to make communication effective, but I also believe that these rules are designed to keep the language from changing. Any language that doesn't have rules will still become a communicable over time as order will eventually come out of chaos. Here is a subject that could be stretched somehow into infinity, but I promise I won't do that here. Anyway, all that I am saying is that when evaluating writing, we probably shouldn't spend much time trying to determine if it is the best (or close) writing we've ever read. I think we should "fight through it" if it's a writing we are going to get something greater out of than the pain of reading it. Now, if you have options, it stands to reason that a person would want to get the information from a more-pleasantly readable source. I hope that someone in some part of the world gets something out of this in all their future readings. Good luck and good day. Growfinancially
