Loy Meets World

It was my pleasure to be chosen as one of the finalists for the “Tell Us Your WordPress Story” contest by WP Web Host (though I expected it all along ). However, despite all the best efforts and hard work I expended towards making my entry worthy of a literary masterpiece, I still feel that it’s not enough to win. The contest organizers have left it to the public to vote for the winners, and although there will also be winners chosen by the judges, it’s better to be sure of everything.

You can view my entry at my other blog LuisMedilo.com.

Please vote for my entry by choosing “luismedilo.com” and clicking the “Vote” button at this page. As of this moment, I’m at fifth place with 8% of the total votes. Well, I don’t think people appreciate my writing too much…hehe… But if you do, please take a moment of your time to vote for my entry.

Thanks!

I’ve been nearsighted since childhood. I guess I got this unwanted trait from my bespactacled father (wherever he is now) and how I wish I could live normally with perfect vision. They say that nearsighted people are usually intelligent. Well, I could have bought that argument but I’d rather have average IQ with perfect eyesight than be a genius who look like a total dork with all those heavy glasses.

A few months ago, I wrote an article about WP Web Host entitled “The Best Web Hosting for Wordpress.” I have nothing but praise for this wonderful web hosting company. Not only are their servers fast, their reliable support team is always ready to answer your questions and help you with anything related to Wordpress and blogging. In fact, they even helped me move my blog from my old web server to a new one on WP Web Host, without breaking a sweat.

And now you, too, can experience Wordpress web hosting at its finest without all the complicated issues and problems that are commonplace in other web hosting companies. To help you, I am offering a 30% discount on annual and biennial plans. Just go to WP Web Host and use the coupon code LOY30 to get 30% off on your hosting plan. This means that you save $24 on annual plans and $36 on two-year plans.

Who would believe that US President Barack Obama has a doppelganger (look-alike)? Actually, not just one doppelganger, but two!

Ilham Anas, a photographer from Indonesia,  and Gerardo Puisseaux, a Cuban-American PR rep, are two of the latest Obama look-alikes who are cashing in on the “Obamania” craze. Gifted with the external physical attributes (at least in facial form) of the new U.S. President, Ilham and Gerardo are thanking their lucky stars for the chance to impersonate their idol.

Blogging contests are a dime a dozen nowadays. Many bloggers are offering contests to promote their sites, ranging from Twitter contests to “blog about me” ones. However, here’s one blog contest that’s too good to be passed up. Entredropper is giving away a total of $130 in cold cash plus 2,000 Entrecard credits to 28 lucky winners!

When I read the contest requirements, I could hardly believe my eyes. It’s way easier than other blogging contests which require you to visit and sign up with numerous websites. I don’t even have to subscribe to their RSS feed, though I might do so if I win (sarcasm!). All I have to do is to write about my favorite Entrecard blogger (hmm…who might that be?) and then I qualify to receive the $40 first prize. Just what I need to buy the premium Wordpress theme I want.
