My Blog Has Been Approved!

by Cecile Cinco

I’ve mentioned recently that I’ve joined an advertising company, Link From Blog, that will pay per review. I joined because my friend got paid. I was approved in a short while and when I was, I immediately looked for opportunities. There’s quite a number of them and I just bid on those that I think I would be able to blog about.

My Friend Got Paid So I Can Now Try It!

by Cecile Cinco

As a problogger (a blogger earning money through blogging), it is my natural inclination to find better ways and look around and learn from other bloggers’ experiences what work and what doesnt. Although there are a lot of scammers, there are still some that are for real, having honest-to-goodness good business ethics with bloggers…and paying is the number one barometer whether it’s for real or for kill.

Get $10 Sign-Up Bonus While You Still Can

by Cecile Cinco

It started when I was curious about ‘Craiglist Exposed’ but found out that the ebook is for sale from $1.99 to $79. I searched and searched, looking for the same but free. If I can get it for free, why not? These could be the way I can get disney world tickets!

As I searched, I not only found the particular ebook I was looking for but several others, in fact, a lot others, that are useful to help me make money online and develop my online skills.

The list below is what I found, all for free if I join for free, and I even get a $10 sign-up bonus.

All I have to do is visit the ads sent to me and I earn points. The number of ads depend on the categories you ticked. A maximum of 10 ads per day will be sent to you so if you visit them all, you get 10 points. It’s basically an advertising pool and you get a share depending on your effort.

You can get paid by cheque or by PayPal when you reach payout level which is $50 for PayPal and $55 for cheque.

The downloadables are already a great resource for me, which is what triggered me to sign up. I think it would benefit you too so you might as well want to take the opportunity while it’s available.

How To Make Your Images Clickable

by Cecile Cinco

I received an IM with a message asking for help on how to make images clickable. If I’m not mistaken, it was sent to many, but I’m not sure.

Anyway, I never thought he didn’t know at all since I perceived him to have something to do with web development so HTML would be simple…I assumed.

This mini-tutorial assumes you know basic HTML. You can also make use of it in blogs when you edit using HTML (Wordpress) or CODE (for others).

There are basically 2 parts to make this work: your image URL AND your destination URL. Believe me, you don’t need to enroll with the online universities just to be able to accomplish this task.

To make a simple explanation…

If your destination URL is http://myblog.com/destination.html

and your image URL is http://myblog.com/image.jpg

your basic code goes like this:

“>
“>

red = part of syntax

As I said, this is basic…barebones….There are other tags that can make it more complicated but as far as making an image clickable, this is it.

Another tip. If you have a thumbnail and you want the bigger picture your destination, just specify your destination URL appropriately…just like what I did to my thumbnail picture in this post above.
