As much as I feel <sarcasm> smart and superior </sarcasm> after coding something really hard sometimes I do these really retarded things that make wonder what the hell’s wrong with me?!

When I began this blog I said and thought I could do paid reviews for 3 months, the time to save up money for another year of hosting and to have money to publicize my blog.

When I set it up for the first time I had bought a domain name for around 10$ and hosted it on the first free hosting plan I found, namely Freehostia a.k.a horrible nightmare. The server was as often down as functioning and customer support sucks big time, and as a customer you are not allowed to complain. You must smile and wait!

Well most of the reviews I wrote where refused because at the moment they verify the post my server was down. So I looked like a moron and submitted my posts over and over.

Then the inevitable happened, I used up my cpu% and/or bandwidth (Freehostia never gives out straight answers) so I had to upgrade. I used my hubby’s credit card with his permission and upgraded. These a-holes incompetent and arrogant providers terminated my account for fraud! It took about 7 emails to find out I had a typo in my phone number and since they could not verify, the deduced it was a fraud. Nice going Sherlock!

So again I lost my paid reviews. But that’s All write, that’s OK, I’ll write more…And I did but guess what I lost them again! That’s write, I didn’t read enough on the automatic plugin upgrades WordPress has. It suggested a new version of All-In-One-SEO…Again I did not read anything since I know and like this plugin. That was stupid and careless of me because my urls changed and my paid reviews are still being refused because the url I submitted leads to an error page.

I have lost 400$ twice so you can probably imagine what I am beginning to think of paid reviews…Before installing anything, read up on the subject it will save you allot of work and time. I will keep in mind that when something works good, why change it?
