I Cast My Vote: Philippine Blog Awards 2009 Bloggers’ Choice Special Award (Visayas)

If I were to choose between voting for my blog, The Extraordinary Kiddo, and voting for another blog, then I’d probably vote… hmmm, let me think first. Hahaha.

First of all, it’s great knowing I’m part of the long line of nominees for the Philippine Blog Awards 2009 Bloggers’ Choice Special Award for Visayas. Together with me are some friends and co-Cebu Bloggers Society members (like Mikyu, Aika, Kristine Roa and Jayr). My classmate’s boyfriend is also one of the nominees.

But where will my vote befall? Should I go narcissus-style and vote for me and only me or should I cast my vote on a blog deserving to be branded Bloggers’ Choice?

What Is Your Web Hosting Provider?

Web hosting – a good topic of discussion. Since probably most of my readers and droppers-by here are also bloggers, talks about web hosting wouldn’t be much of a hard thing to do. 5mc6a8pry7

Anyways, for those of you who are also on paid hosting for their WordPress, Drupal or Joomla blogs, can I ask you these questions? Continue reading

Think Green, Think Super Green

Green ethics – one of the most unusual words to hear when you talk about web hosting. Green ethics simply mean running a technology-bound life with sustainable development in the forefront of the principles adhered. Since natural imbalance and ecological backlash are one of the hottest topics nowadays, companies try to contribute to the lessening of nature’s destruction by simply going green – by reducing their carbon foot print. From Wikipedia, carbon foot print is “the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product”. To achieve this, companies make use of “green” devices, those that produce lesser carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

One of the few web hosting providers who adhere to green ethics is Super Green Hosting. Super Green Hosting makes use of Dell servers that produces 20% less carbon dioxide than the average server. The company also is involved in tree planting projects which of course is very helpful to combat global warming. But how could you be of any help? Here goes: Continue reading
