I’ve been toying with the idea of launching a blog all about freebies, discount codes and other online vouchers. Primarily because being an affiliate of many web affiliate schemes I often have such offers sent to me – which can sometimes mean a saving of between 5% and 20%, which is a nice little discount in anyone’s book.
The blog is already setup – Vouchers 4 U – and I intend to add codes, etc to it as things go along. However, I’m still not 100% sure that it’ll be worth my while as the market for this type of ‘code sharing’ appears to be pretty much cornered.
Still we’ll see how it goes for a week or two and then I’ll re-assess the situation then. In the meantime, if you do fancy a peek at the type of vouchers and codes, etc I’m likely to publish – take a look at Vouchers 4 U.
I was glad to see my attempts last night to get my blog updated via my mobile worked – not so sure why the 2nd attempt had the “—- ?Sent using a Sony Ericsson videophone” bit appended to the end of it though. Maybe it was because it wasn’t from a gmail account. Anyone else had this problem?
Also haven’t figured out how to add ‘Labels’ to the posts when sending from a mobile *frown*
On an altogether different subject, I went to Asda’s shopping today – for a change as it’s usually Tesco’s – and probably because of this it dawned on me how stressful (perhaps too strong a word) shopping in supermarket can be. I mean you see hundreds of people meandering around a largish store at very different paces, but all seemingly wanting either the same item as you or wanting to go in the same direction as you. I’ll be honest, I get quite agitated often when I’m out doing the shopping. People are often quite rude as they barge, push, shove, clonk past you without a murmer of “excuse me”.
I’m sure ‘Trolley Rage’ must be on the increase and no doubt the marketing moguls at the supermarket chains are rubbing their collective hands with glee – as vast hoardes of people abandon their visits to the local supermarket (cattle market more like) in favour of doing their grocery shopping online. Sounds like a great marketing plan doesn’t it. Have you noticed how nowadays less stores seem to do the shelf re-stocking overnight, it’s actually during the day? It makes manourvering your wonky 4 wheeled trolley even more arduous and prone to user frustration. I wonder why?
Hmm, I never used to consider myself a cynic but now I’m not so sure. Maybe it’s age *smile*
Here I am lazing on my king size bed still trying to get my darn blog to accept emails!
Hopefully I’ve setup my other email account up correctly on this Sony Ericsson Z610i.
So here goes … HELLO WORLD … is there anyone there?

This is a quick test post from my 3 mobile using the Google mail application I downloaded. Hope it works 
I’ve finally succombed to the new features being offered by using Blogger’s layout and you are now looking at the results! Being able to move and add content blocks in a widgets kind of way makes life far easier and I’m glad I’ve taken the plunge. You can read more about it – in a more technically knowledgeable way – here.
Seeing as I’m been twiddling with the code, I also thought I’d add a Digg button to the blog whilst I was at it. Regards and respect to this blog for the anonymous assistance. I hope you dig the new layout and stuff ho-ho.
No training for me today, as I’m far too busy trying to install a Google Mini appliance – but more on that another time.
