Writing Work for About.Com Experts

Expertise (things like education, your job, location, serious hobby, and established writing ability, etc.) in a subject and consistent quality of writing ability can translate into a very nice additional income for you. About.com has a large list of topics on its wanted list. You can access their information on the link below; there's a lot of information provided to help you decide if you want to apply and compete for the work.

Again, your own personal scrutiny of the offer and company behind the job offer is required. I neither work for them, nor have personal experience with them.

Can Anyone Help With Windows Internet Explorer Glitch On This Blogspot?

Anyone have any idea why this Blogspot has a Windows Internet Explorer glitch that appears saying:

  • "We're sorry an unexpected error has occurred. Please excuse the inconvenience and try again shortly."

"Shortly" has been ongoing for a few weeks and nothing I can do at the control panel has helped and I can't locate anything in the help section that helps. I am not a computer tech. Taking items off and checking the blog hasn't made any difference.

Any ideas what I can do (besides abandon the blog and do something else)?

Comments/suggested fixes appreciated.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to the reader who took the time to find out what was wrong and your fix was right on target! Now I can work on my other computer problems so I can work on getting caught up on emails and all the rest of the things on which I am so far behind. Thanks again and again.

Great Stuff - A Universal Truth Done in Rap Music Video Style by Fr. Stan Fortuna

Please don't accuse me of having You Tube-itis lately, because I can't deny it. Among some not so great things are great things.

I will get back to again posting more work from home jobs leads, recipes and stories and articles on free education and so on soon. Since my blog really is not intended as a single niche looking at one subject over and over (though there is certainly nothing wrong for those who do that well), there's surely something here of interest for you in previous articles.

This one music video in particular, well, I just had to post it because the whole subject matter is such a universal truth -- everyone does have to suffer in life -- we think of those whose wealth insulates them from the every day drudgery of life, never really thinking that often times with their enormous wealth comes problems to match. This really puts things into perspective, even as it is an equalizer of sorts.

And you would have never thought I liked RAP MUSIC, well, I didn't, until I saw this one. It's worth the time to watch....and reflect on life.

Telecommute Your Way To Earnings From Home, IT Consultant, Web Developer, Transcriptionist

Telecommuting is becoming very popular and competition for jobs is increasing. Fortunately, it also seems that more companies are permitting employees or independent contractors to work from home. If you already have employment in a type of position you could handle entirely from home (or partly from home and partly from the office), you might want to discuss your request. However, do your homework first on companies that permit their own employees to do this so you present your request in a manner that is favorable to your employer.

The following links were located on the net and are unresearched, your own due diligence is required to determine the legitimacy of any company listed below.

IT Consultant: MyBizOffice is looking for an IT Consultant skilled in SAP, Oracle, JAVA -- they are looking for elite consultants as W-2 employees. For more information, view the job posting at http://www.devbistro.com/jobs/56339

Web Designer/Developer: JKPorto Inc. IT & Executive Recruitment is looking for candidates for a full time – 40 hours week person who is local in South Florida, but will consider telecommute – some of the skills wanted are PHP, DHTML, JavaScript, CSS, AJAX, XML, design, MySQL. For more information, view the job posting at http://www.devbistro.com/jobs/56331

Transcription: Here is a company that looks for transcriptionists, their employment information is on the link that follows. While they do not indicate that they are hiring right now, most of these types of companies will take notice of someone who has a solid work background with great skills that meet their needs.

Their site indicates that they receive many applications, and that they hold them for review as need arises. If you are really capable and interested in this type of company, it could be very worth your while to familiarize yourself not only with their requirements, but also with the process of obtaining and completing work online so you are ready and able to work if qualified and they contact you for work. http://www.tigerfish.com/employment.html

Three Stooges Museum In Spring House, Pennsylvania, It’s Another Reason To Come Visit Pennsylvania



If you are a fan of The Three Stooges, there is a museum for you to see during your trips through Pennsylvania (by appointment). One of the Stooges’ relatives has preserved much of the memorabilia. Here is more information and how to contact Gary Lassin – just click on the directions tab at http://www.stoogeum.com/

If we ever drive to that side of the state, we will be stopping there. The Three Stoogies were always favorites of not only myself, but my husband and his family. The Stooges’ were great entertainers and if you have never watched any of the episodes, you can get them on DVD at eBay. Maybe we will have a family reunion some day at one of the residences that has a home theater – the episodes would be great on a big screen.
