It’s Philippine Independence day today and google is celebrating it with us, Filipinos. And since this holiday falls on a Saturday it means we don’t have work on Monday. Yipeee! Long weekend for all working parents out there.   Looks like I am going to miss all those Philippine Holidays. heheh

Happy Weekend everyone!

Omniture Publish is one CMS website that allows people to add, update, or modify content on their business’s website without having to rely on IT. Programs like these are convenient for a number of reasons, including:
• Simple to use. You don’t have to be an expert in code to add web content. One-click publishing and interfaces that are easy to navigate make the CMS simple to learn and use.
• Free up your own IT team. When the IT staffers don’t have to focus on constantly updating or adding content to the website, they have more time to address other important issues.
• Get content out sooner. You can update or modify your web content quickly using a CMS website because you don’t have to wait for IT or other web professionals to do it for you.
• Save money. If your website needs are simple, a CMS website can save you money from hiring an IT team or web developer to keep your content current. You simply do it yourself through your CMS program.

Programs like the one mentioned above are loaded with features to help those who aren’t familiar with web updating, such as tools that allow you to preview content before you publish it or access online support if you get stuck.

This is my first time to visit Embrace Life. If I am new to a site the first thing I look for is the about page or the profile. Unfortunately, there is still nothing on the About page, so I just click on the profile to find out that nuts is the author of this blog, she is more than just a stay at home mom of two kids. She loves and embrace life.

The site’s color is green, the header have this green leafy background giving me the impression that this lady is a nature lover. She even have a story about Gumamela. With two column layout, minimal ads and widgets on the side bar, the site is clean and cool to the eyes. A widget saying her blogversary is in 220 days but her first post was done in January 6, 2009. I have to read more to find out. Anyway,  embrace life caters to wide range of topics. Just imagine having 40 posts already for the month of February. She is an active weekly meme participant of Mellow Yellow Monday, Yummy Sunday, Mommy Moments, Tuesday Couch Potatoes, Water Wednesday and Girl Talk.

Nuts never runs out of ideas to share from car accessories to camp activities.  With a PR of 3, this site is worth your time and visit.

I like the two column layout, very clean and easy to navigate. Navigation menu on top is also available, and I notice that this girl love contest also.  I like the look of a cork board on the back ground, plus buttons, that it would look like a bulletin board, as if pinning a paper with memo or love note. The touch is very personal that she even starts her article with “Dear Readers.”  This is as if she is just writing a letter. I think she really likes writing letter because she even started a weekly meme called Letters I’ll never send. I haven’t joined this, but I’ll try find time to join this week.

She writes with passion and with emotion. She’s a mother to two wonderful kids and enjoy watching TV with them. An active participant to weekly memes like Mommy moments, Tuesday Couch Potato, Girl talk, and others. I enjoy reading her posts especially with her new and cool fonts. Want to know what I’m talking about? Go visit her site!

Kaye gave birth to WAHMAHOLIC in March 2009. She was persuaded by her friends to get her own domain. But I guess she just did the right thing.
This is about a woman addicted to being a Work At Home Mom. The header shows a woman sitting in front of her PC, working. This is the perfect figure of Kaye, a WAHMaholic. The layout is so clean, with white background but with touches of pink. Very feminine. Though I’m not much fun of pink color, I find this site so cool for the eyes. It has two columns, the sidebar for advertisers and some chitchat for her visitors. At first I had a difficultly in locating the archives, until I found it at the footer together with contact, sitemap, disclosure policy, and of course, adgitize ads and entrecard widget. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it happened whenever I post a comment it doesn’t redirect to the page, but it redirects to a blank page. I’m not sure if it happens to her other visitors, but I tried it on different PC, used mozilla firefox, refreshed after seeing the blank page but the outcome is the same.

The contents of WAHMaholic is more on about her online gigs. How she earns online, doing some sponsored reviews, blog reviews for her blogger friends. She give tips and tricks on the latest earning programs she joins and how to do great in online gigs, just like her article about fillers.  She Creates layout for her customers and blogger friends,  GT’s New layout, is perfect, girls sitting, having a cup of coffee and talking. She really have a talent on web designs.
If in the future, I choose to be WAHM, for sure this site will be bookmarked for more WAHM tips and trick. Just visit her site and be amazed how addicted she is in being WAHM. You can also ask her for new designs for your own blog. Everything is negotiable(I think). ^_^

Comments, comments and more comments. That’s what I’ve been doing at Random WAHM thoughts before I decided to make this review. Actually, I was thinking not just twice, but thrice or more, about how to do this review, if it’ll pass as a review. And yes, while doing this I can hear my heart beats, maybe the guard can even hear it. ^_^ I just think I am so newbie in this reviewing thingy. But when the  flashed in my mind, I decided to do this. hehehe.

K have a new layout, just about one day old. Brown and green in the background. A girl idly but stylishly sitting on the banner. As I look at it, it reflects a girl randomly thinking, as the site suggest. The layout is really clean and easy to navigate. The sidebar, showing some sponsors, and sites where she earn money online.   Plus, her three column footer to show her latest post, latest comments, chitchats and the blog roll. You won’t get lost here.

K as all of you know is a Work at home mom, and I admire her courage to leave her company and choose to work at home and be with her Svet all the time. while reading her Initial thoughts on working at home, it’s making me think again on leaving my present company.

I like the way she writes and present her thought, she can be oh so serious but can be funny at times also. she can be a little bitchy also, but still will put smiles on your faces. Just visit her site and you’ll be inspired.

To top it all, she and her marce pehpot is running a huge contest, more than $500 is up for grabs, so don’t miss the chance and join the contest <just click the button above>, and don’t even forget to mention here that I referred you. hehehe.

Visiting AnakniKulapo is another first for me. I landed on this blog because of Kaye and Pehpot’s contest (again ^_^). He is one of the major sponsors and I need to review this site. woow! I am sweating right now.  But wait, when I opened AnakniKulapo, I smiled. Actually, I wanted to laugh loud but I can’t because I’m in the office and I don’t want other people to think I am crazy.

This is another site by buraot. Wow, he is not only good in Literature but also in Humor. The menu itself made me laugh, especially because at the FAQ, wherein he put ‘u’ (FAQu) making it look like he is saying bad words. Of course, there is the warning for the readers. The site is not for too young but also not for too old. Most recent posts & commenters, categories and some ads are on the side bar.  You can choose from the category what topics you want to visit, all written in Tagalog. I think the layout is clean and easy to navigate. Though, the site would be best enjoyed by Filipinos or people who can understand our language.

If you are stressed from your work or just stressed from the people around you, visiting this site would just put your stress away, especially, if you see his new office for 2010. Just a few words, but the pictures say it all. The pictures and his wordings in each article are really funny, I was even thankful that I don’t get really drunk like in “Malaimpaktong hangover for Women” Of course it has a counter part for men.  Do check it out.

Anyway, if you are looking a break from your stressful life, just visit Anakni Kulapo, and get a real good laugh.
