Thanks to Wordpress timestamp feature I am able to write posts without publishing them immediately. Instead I can write posts, like this one, and set the timestamp so the posts are only published at the time I specify. This feature has made my life so much easier and it gives me the weekends off for a change.

The mornings in our house tends to get a little hectic Mondays thru Fridays with my wife and son running around like crazy people. This is why Saturday mornings have become so special to me and my wife as we have, or should I say ‘make’ time for each other.

Before my heart attack I used to work 7 days a week teaching people how to be proficient with their computers and software. This usually left me stress and tired most of the time. Not the great guy to live with.

I no longer work ridiculous hours and I have even dropped teaching in classrooms. I have also helped most of my website design clients find new web designers so I can dedicate more of my online time to my own blogs.

Taking weekends off was very strange at the beginning. I was itching to be in my office but that slowly changed after a few weeks and now I look forward to Saturday and Sunday.

I still get up at 5 am but that’s because I now feel life is too short to waste a day staying in my nice warm bed.

I still hit the office on the weekends. I take the two minute commute to my office, if you include a quick trip to the bathroom and the to the kitchen for coffee.

Once I have my coffee I can relax and dump any junk mail. This makes it easier when I start back to work Monday morning. I can enjoy my coffee and catch up on useful emails before most people are even out of bed.

By the time my wife of 25 years is up I am done in the office, all cleaned up and ready for what ever we have planned for that day.

Social Networking With Blogging Zoom

What is Blogging Zoom

The Blogging Zoom website is a place where bloggers like you and me can share our content by voting for it. The more votes your content or post the closer to the front page. Getting a blog post on the front page can send you huge amount of traffic just like other social networking sites.

Who Can Use Blogging Zoom?

As long as you are blogger you can have your content zoomed. Not a blogger, then Blogging Zoom isn’t for you.

Blogging Zoom users range from hobby bloggers like me to bloggers that just want to share their opinions.

Blogging Zoom’s Mission

We are here to give every blogger, popular or not, a chance to showcase their content and talents. BZ was created by bloggers for bloggers, and we are dedicated to providing people with the tools and knowledge they need to increase their blogs’ popularity. We also provide a platform where bloggers can meet others who share similar interests and talents. You’ll find content on nearly every subject in BZ so no matter where your interests lie, you should find the service to be useful.

How does a story get published, or promoted to the front page?

When a blog post, story or article is zoomed, or voted for by enough users, it will be published and promoted to the front page of Blogging Zoom. The amount of zooms required to move a story or piece of content to the front page is determined by the total number of users that have voted positively and negatively for that content.

Just like other social networks your work can be deleted if you break the rules so be sure you them.
