Request for some help!

Ok I need to get some help from someone who really knows HTML well, so that I can get my current blog template to work correctly. My blog looks exactly like I want it to when IM looking at it through FireFox at 1024x768 but when I look at it through IE things don't line up right. Also if someone looks at my blog with a screen resolution of 800x600 or lower my sidebar ends up underneath all my posts not on the side. I've been tinkering with it for a long time to get things to work properly but its beyond my knowledge of HTML. I really like my set up and I don't want to change it. I just want the sidebar to be on the side and it not be in the side graphic I have. So if someone out there could help me out or point me in a direction where I could get some help I would be most appreciative.

Update : Ok here is a link to a picture of how my blog looks to me. CLICKY!

Update : Ok I see how my sidebar and my main are determined by percentages. Is there any way that I can change them so that they are a specific width? So that they take up the same amount of space regardless of what a persons screen res is.

Scary!

Ok this terrifies me. Click on this link. This site will tell you where you live and your latitude and longitude. It was very close on for me. It came to within a few miles of me. That just terrifies me that in like 3 seconds a website was able to pinpoint my location within a few miles just by visiting it. How accurate was it for you guys?

Taxes!

Well I got my taxes done already. This is a record for me, I normally procrastinate all the way up to the deadline. It feels good to have them already done and out of the way. Plus I have a decent size refund check coming my way in a few weeks. YAY! I hope I never end up having to owe the IRS because they are never going to get the money from me. I'll build a underground bunker and hide in it and when they come for there money I'll yell at them "Didn't you take enough money from me? Why do you want more?" and then hide in my bunker until they give up. I'm just joking I'd pay them there money....... Eventually.

Amway/Quixtar is run like a MAFIA!

Came across another great article about Quixtar except this one isn't as positive as my last post. According to a crime expert Amway/Quixtar is run like a Mafia. Gee who would have thought? Actually this is just a new story written about the now famous Blakey report. But one thing caught my eye about Mr. Britt.

However, it should be noted that Bill Britt has since been booted out of Amway and is under investigation for a host of scams. According to an August 12, 2004, letter from Robert FitzPatrick, President of Pyramid Scheme Alert, to North Carolina's Attorney General, requesting an investigation of the Bill Britt organization, "Last year, it was reported that Bill Britt was involved in what authorities consider perhaps the largest single financial fraud case in North Carolina history in terms of the amount of dollars that disappeared," the letter stated.

I knew about the scam Bill Britt got caught in but I thought Britt just retired. But according to the article he was kicked out. Maybe I just missed one of QBlogs posts. Anyways check out the full article here. Its a good read.

Quixtar donates vitamin's to head start programs.

I found this article today on yahoo.

ADA, Mich., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Quixtar Inc. (http://www.Quixtar.com ) has donated $228,000 worth of Nutrilite® Kids Chewable Multivitamin/Multimineral tablets to The Healthy Foundation's Vitamin Relief USA program. These supplements -- some 720,000 tablets in 8,000 bottles -- will aid the foundation's ongoing campaign to provide vitamins to school-aged children at risk for malnutrition and nutrient deficiency.

Read the full story here.

I always like to read stories about the good things companies do. Sometimes we get a little to caught up in all the bad things. Not saying that we should ignore the bad things but that its nice to see a company like Quixtar doing some good.

Now I wonder if a copy of the plan comes with each bottle of vitamin's?

Movie Review : Elecktra!

I actually saw this movie a week ago I just havn't much time to blog recently. To start things off, I went into this movie with really low expectations and it surprised me it was actually decent. Much better than Daredevil was. But no where near as good as spiderman and Xmen. If your having a guys night out with your friends and you would like to watch a women in skin tight leather suit kick some ass then go see this movie.

Issues!

I'm currently having some problems with my internet service provider. I will be back to posting more regularly when I get this all sorted out.

Update:
Well it looks like things are back to working again. I go through Charter communications and I had to get a new modem the other day because my old one would reset every time it would get bumped. That was very annoying. Well when I got a new one it worked for like a day then wouldn't work at all the day after. My roommate asked around and he found out that charter was handing out modem's that were not compatible with there system. With this news I was going to go and trade my modem again the next day, but before I got to it I checked one last time to see if it was working and low and behold it was. So we shall see if this keeps up.

WARNING NEW MLM ALERT!

*Warning* You will probably only get this post if you have ever been in a MLM!

While browsing some Blogs I came across quite a few posts calling BlogExplosion and BlogClicker the MLM's of the blogging world. Because you can build a dowline of people that sign up through your referral link and earn credits from them.

Well after much thought I've decided to start my own Motivational tool business to grow my blogging business. This business will include:

1. 4 tapes a week costing $8 a piece, that have absolutely no blog business building value.
2. 1 meeting every Friday night at various locations across the country to ruin your weekend. These meetings will be 5 hours long, telling you how worthless your blogging life is and that is will suck until you join my group.
3. 1 seminar every month on a Saturday to further ruin your weekends. Seminars will be an all day event for how great my group is.
4. 1 major seminar every 3 months on a weekend to make you give up any hope of having a fun and relaxing weekend.
5. 1 book of the month to further distance yourself from having any sort of of life outside of my group and blogging.

Now click on the links below and become a member of my downline and Motivational tool business.



*Warning* Through my tool business I will make far more money off you than you could ever hope to make by joining my business.

*Disclaimer* This is just a joke people don't take it that serious sheash!

Resident Evil 4!

Yesterday I purchased a great new game called Resident Evil 4!



If you have a GameCube and like action games then you need to own this game its one of the best games ever made. The control's are perfect and the graphics are awesome. I played it for like 5 hours straight yesterday and I can't wait to put in some more time with it.

Political Leaning!

While browsing some blogs I came a cross a test to take that shows your political and social leanings. While I normally don't take tests like these because most of them are kind of pointless, I really wanted to know where I stood. Well here is how I came out.


At first I thought that didn't come out like I thought then after a minute I thought actually that came out about right. If you want to take it click here.

BlogClicker!

While surfing tonight I found a great new way for promoting your blog its called BLOGCLICKER. I like sights like this because you have to read other peoples blogs in order to get traffic to yours. I love reading other peoples blogs, because you get a real sense of what people are really thinking, instead of just relying on what the big media corporations are telling you what people are thinking. I find it great that there seems to be a blog about just about everything. Just think of some of the wall subject and I bet you can find a blog devoted to just that. So what are you waiting for sign up for BLOGCLICKER.

The 7 Mistakes you can make doing MLM.

I found another great article on Entrepreneur.com today. Its titled Watch Your Step. It talks about the 7 worst mistakes you can make in network marketing.

Clicking on each one will bring you to a page talking about each one.

1. Falling For MLM Imposters

2. Expecting Instant Wealth

3. Signing On In The Heat Of The Moment

4. Choosing The Wrong Product

5. Joining A Start-Up Company

6. Selecting The Wrong Sponsor

7. Neglecting To Assess If MLM Is Right For You

These 7 mistakes are a great guide to go by if you are thinking of starting a MLM or Network Marketing business.

One of these that stand out to me is the 2nd one Expecting Instant wealth. I think the reason most people think this is because this is what you were lead to believe when you first get started in a MLM. When I was in Quixtar I was told that with 10-15 hours per week for 3-5 years I could be earning a 6 figure income. I don't know about you, but I or someone else might consider that a instant wealth statement. Let me see for a few hours a week for a few years I'll be making 100k plus a year. Yeah! JACK POT BABY! NOT!

Deals you should never say yes to.

I found a great article the other day on Entrepreneur Magazines Website. Its titled Just Say No. The article talks about deals you shouldn't agree to.

Any deal you don't fully understand.

Any deal requiring lots of money upfront.

Any deal you're asked to do in a hurry.

Those are just a few listed in the article. I wish I had read it before I had gotten involved with Quixtar. It would have kept me from getting involved. I encourage anybody about to get started with any business opportunity to check this article out. It just might help save you some money and some embarrassment.

Another good one listed is.

Any deal that sounds too good to be true.

Isn't funny how we keep falling for that one time after time, even though we should know better?
