Hampton Inn goes online and gives away a free hotel!
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.
What would you do with a whole hotel (100 rooms) for a weekend?
The Hampton Inn is offering you at most a great way to get together with your friends and at least a great way to just get away for the weekend. To me, both sound pretty good.
The Chain Of Friends Sweepstakes gives you the chance to win their Grand Prize; an entire hotel for a weekend or one of 100 first prizes; a weekend stay for you and three friends, which will be drawn daily.
Who would you bring is you had 100 hotel rooms at your disposal for a weekend? I’d have to make it a huge Social Media occasion, getting together with friends from online and… offline. Just having a lot of fun all ‘round.
Of course, traveling and hanging out with friends makes any trip that much better, right?
Hampton made it easy to enter – just enter the coupon promo code “Friend” when you book a room with them or just fill out the super short form on their site with a little info about you. I entered – I figured it was worth a shot.
The nice thing is that when you fill out the form, you’re not automatically entered into their promotional mail database – you have to opt yourself in, which is down to you whether you do or not. Maybe that’ll make you feel a little better about entering 
Go ahead! Check out the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes
Tubu Hosting Gets even better with grid technology
Image via CrunchBase
Tubu Internet Solutions now offers Grid powered technology on all US hosting plans.
Unlike their hosting competitors Tubu Internet Solutions’ Grid powered hosting packages don’t cram thousands of web sites onto one server giving it a single point of failure. Grid hosting means that clusters of servers instead of a single shared hosting server to increase performance and redundancy.
All new hosting accounts go grid automatically, current customers have the option to move their accounts to the grid if necessary.
Also, non-grid packages are still available to those who need special features.
Naturally, because this is Tubu we’re talking about here the hosting package prices haven’t changed. Normally, with many hosting companies the grid technology is expensive but Tubu being Tubu is keeping their rates low.
What does grid mean? use of the grid technology means that your site and your data are spread over a number of servers. This means that if one server experiences an issue the other servers are there to pick up the load, also the strain on a possibly very busy site is spread over a number of systems thus maintaining site and system stability.
Get your site hosted right at Tubu.net
Get a domain you’ll be proud of (and can afford)

What exactly is keyword density?
There is a lot of SEO talk about Keyword density, it seems to be a phrase that SEO professionals often keep to themselves, some kind of a secret tool.
Making best use of your site keywpord density isn’t hard though. You just have to keep in mind the practice when you’re creating your content.
First of all, and I’ll always tell you this, write for yourself, write for your reader, write for your audience, don’t write primarily for SEO and Keyword Density.
Keywords are certain, pertinant words in a post or on a page. They briefly describe the top of the content insaid post or page. For example, a couple of keywords for thios post would be search engines, keywords, density etc.
Keyword Density is how often your keywords are used in relation to other words in your content combined. If I were to write a post that was full of keywords and nothing but keywords it would have a very high keyword density.
The same works in reverse, if I were to have a great deal of content in a post or on a page and very little in the way of keywords it would make for a lighter keyword density.
What is a good keyword density? well, this is something that of often discussed and more often disputed amongst professionals. Firs I’d like to remind you that you should always write from you, for your reader and least of all for SEO.
Search engines have very, very complicated algorythms that look at page content and relate it as best it can to what the user is typing into the search box.
In years past cunning and devious webmasters filled pages on sites with tons ofcurrently popular keywords whether they had anything to do with the site or page content or not to just have them rank in the search traffic. Of course the search engines got wise to this and this is and elevated the importance of Keyword Density.
A good Keyword Density rule of thumb is around 2%. Posts and page content should normally be around 200 or 300 words. At a 2% density it makes a good balance.

Why recycle your mobile phone?
How many mobile phones do you have? no, not on you, not the working ones, the ones that might be sitting around your house.
How many mobile phones have you had? what did you do with the device you upgraded from? so many people throw away their old phones when they upgrade or update their phones.
Cellular technologies have advanced far more and far faster than many other technologies. It seems there is a new phone, PDA or smart phone being released weekly and we all have to have the latest deviceto stay ahead of the hi-tech curve and just forget about our old devices. I know I have left old cell phones laying around in a drawer for quite a while before I got around todropping off for recycling.
Why recycle your phone though? can you really get money for old phones? How much good does Mobile Device recycling really do the environment?
It isn’t a new concept. Charities have been collecting old phones for a number of years. Now you can get cash for your old phone and help the environment at the same time.
It might only be a couple of bucks but it is a couple of bucks that you didn’t have before. Right? Many recycling companies even provide free mailing envelopes for your devices.
What good does it do the environment? Well, no matter how small phones contain metals, chemicals and other materials that can be toxic in landfills. Recycling puts the metals and plastics back into circulation cutting down the effort put into manufacturing.
There are a lot of recycling services around. Be sure to compare and get the best deal for yours.
TechBurgh.com: Moved
Since the first post waaaay back in 2007 TechBurgh has grown by leaps and bounds. The TechBurgh blog is far more popular now than I ever though it would be.
To go along with the increase in size and demand the decision was made to move the entire blog to a new server on the Tubu Internet Solutions network.
Hopefully you didn’t see much disruption as the move happened. Already we’ve seen a noticeable difference in speed.
So yes, we’re splashing out and spending a couple of bucks per month on a hosting account with Tubu in oder to serve you better
Also…. there are lots more exciting changes in the pipeline
Thanks to Owen Cutajar (@OwenC) for taking care of the move stuff and making sure it all went so very, very smoothly. Owen, you’re great!

Adobe InDesign: the ultimate tool for graphic designers
Are you thinking about pursuing a career in graphic design? Do you enjoy creatively constructing documents on the computer, but are frustrated by the lack of options on the program you’re currently using?
Lucky for you, Adobe stepped up to the plate and created a program that effectively meets a wide variety of graphic design needs. This comprehensive desktop publishing program goes by a practical name that’s easy to remember and is widely recognized in the design industry: InDesign.
InDesign is Adobe’s innovative program that allows you to design and develop your own publications using a variety of tools such as text wrapping, precise image manipulation and placement, and color handling. This program is a newer version of the original PageMaker – it builds upon the quality already present in that great Adobe program to offer you the most accessible desktop publishing program available.
Why InDesign blows other programs out of the water
For those of you who are stubbornly hanging on to the past, it is time to see the light. Microsoft Word is a great word processing program, but when it comes to graphic design, you need a program that has exceptional design capabilities.
To help make this argument clearer, here are a few of the features Adobe InDesign offers to expedite and improve the design process:
* A large, non-printing workspace where you can place elements of your design that you are not yet ready to use
* An extensive toolbox that allows you to easily perform tasks such as: selecting text, rotating and cropping objects, drawing constrained lines and shapes, inserting placeholders for images, zooming, navigating and much more
* Five palettes – colors, styles, master pages, layers and hyperlinks – that each have multiple tools and can be merged together to create and control different aspects of your design
* Palettes used to develop and manipulate stroke, color, gradient, transparency, paragraph styles, characters, swatches, pages, layers, navigation and much more
As you can see, InDesign is equipped with many tools and capabilities that other programs just do not have. Even when compared with other design-specific programs, Adobe InDesign still comes out on top. This unique program offers a sophisticated environment for graphic design and publishing.
If you are considering a graphic design career, or if you are already in the field and need a program that will meet all your needs, it is time to embrace InDesign. There are countless tutorials available on the Internet, making it quick and easy to learn this beneficial program. Give yourself the competitive edge you need to succeed in graphic design careers – start doing some research and learn how to use InDesign today.
