How To Change Your IP if Using a Router
July 21st, 2008 
Another form of advertising, other than PPC, is using Craigslist. Now with this beast, you can only do so much before they will ban you and such. So I just thought I would 
share how I change my IP adress so things can run a little more smoothly.
I am running a Motorola Cable modem and a D-Link router (cheap but does the job). All I did was log into the routers admin at http://192.168.1.1 <standard for most. Head to the section where you MAC address is located and change it. I just changed the last two digits, then click the save settings button. Let it renew itself then head to your modem and unplug it for about 30 seconds. Then check to see if your ip has changed using www.ipchicken.com or whatever site you want. Thats it. Let me know if you have any other methods for doing this in the comments sections so other people can benefit also.

How To Cloak Your Affiliate Link
Ok, back to affiliate marketing… I am sure there are tons of tutorials about how to do redirects and such but this is my journey and something that I recently learned how to do. I have a code for php as well as html. You can use either one, I don’t care…
For html code: The website in bold is where you delete and add your site.
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0; url=http://www.minisitesecretsrevealed.com/offer-code/15078“>
</head></html>
- Highlight the code above and copy (CTRL-C) it to your clipboard.
- Open a blank text file in Notepad.
- Paste (CTRL-V) the code into your text file.
- Save the file as “minisitesecrets.html”
- Upload the file to your webhost.
- Now direct people to your new file - http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/minisitesecrets.html.
(NOTE: Be sure to test your redirect file before using it in any promotions.)
For the php code:
<?php
/**
* Place in a blank PHP page
*/
// Change to the URL you want to redirect to
$URL=”http://www.YOURSITE.com”;
header (”Location: $URL”);
?>
For this I created a folder call “recommends” and uploaded to the root directory of my main domain name. Then I created a php file with that code and saved as “whatever you want”, then uploaded that into that “recommends” folder. Thats it.
If you have any questions on how to do this just let me know via the comments… thanks!
Your Recommended Daily Allowance for Relaxation
Stress is the curse of living in modern times. Everyone suffers from stress. And the stress we suffer takes a heavy toll on our bodies, emotions and minds.
Feeling stressed out, worn out by fatigue or just simply having a miserable day, the best thing to do is relax.
Watching television may be a form of relaxation for some, but is not a recommended method by experts. When we watch TV we are bombarded with commercials, ads, sounds and images. So how do we achieve relaxation? If there are thousands of ways we can get stressed, one of them is not meeting deadlines, there are also many ways we can relax.
Breathing is one of the easiest methods to relax. Breathing influences almost all aspects of us, it affects our mind, our moods and our body. Simply focus on your breathing, after some time you can feel its effects right away. There are several breathing techniques that can help you reduce stress.
Another easy way to achieve relaxation is exercise. If you feel irritated a simple half-hour of exercise will often settle things down. Although exercise is a great way to lose weight, it does not show you how to manage stress appropriately. Exercise should also be used in conjunction with other exercise method.
One great way of relaxation is getting a massage. To gain full relaxation, you need to totally surrender to the handling and touch of a professional therapist. Believe me, I love my massages! Especially now that I am an old fart and all those years of mechanic work… it sure does help. There are several types of massages that also give different levels of relaxation.
Hypnosis is one controversial relaxation technique. It is a good alternative for people who think that they have no idea what it feels like to be relaxed. It is also a good alternative for people with stress related health problems. I have never been hypnotized, but I sure have seen it and sometimes it can be funny! 
These relaxation techniques are just some of the ways you can achieve relaxation. Another reason why we need to relax is because stress produces hormones that suppress the immune system, relaxation gives the immune system time to recover and in doing so function more efficiently. When life happens, we can become sick and not ever know why. Relaxation can really be of good use once a relaxation technique is regularly built into your lifestyle. Choose a technique that you believe you can do regularly.
I say all this because doing any business online, spending all those hours hunched over your computer, we can forget to take care of ourselves. Some days, I dont even eat because I am so entranced in getting a task done. If you have to put a timer on your desk, then do it.

Have A Great 4th of July!
I hope everyone is enjoying their independence day and eating some good food! Just remember what the significance of July 4th is…
FREEDOM.
A great meaning of this great day…
By Shelby Evens
Independence Day better known in modern times as the 4th of July is a grand and great holiday in the United States of America and is often a favorite of young people who especially enjoy the exciting colorful and noisy traditional fireworks. The fireworks, however, are but a symbol of the meaning behind the 4th of July celebration of independence. The meaning behind the 4th of July Independence Day holiday came about as the result of the valiant efforts and strong commitment of our American forefathers not so very long ago.
Amazing changes and events have happened since July 4, 1776, however, very important changes and dramatic events also occurred prior to July 4, 1776. Brave and restless people had uprooted their lives, left everything behind, and crossed the Atlantic Ocean to come to this land where they sought freedoms and rights not available to them in their homeland. They formed settlements here and organized into various groups of towns and colonies with their own local laws and rules, while still under the authority of the King of England. The country was being born and the ideals of just how and what those freedoms would entail were ironed out through controversy and cooperative efforts of the differing opinions of the day.
The vote for the United States to become independent of Great Britain actually occurred on July 2, 1776 by the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Congress formally approved the document, the “Declaration of Independence” on July 4, 1776. This declaration was the final break with Great Britain and expressed the united view of all of the colonies to become independent. This act was a culmination of dramatic events in which the early Americans faced a great deal of unrest that was accompanied by heartfelt and explosive rebellious incidents in their efforts to be free from tyranny. They were not deterred as they sought to identify, solidify, and maintain the profound and precious freedoms and justices they had so yearned for that they were willing to commit their entire lives to the values that they embraced.
This was, however, just a beginning point of establishing freedom in this great land, as at that time in our history, the Revolutionary War to complete the severing of our dependence from Great Britain was yet to take place, plus the horrific practice of slavery still existed, women were not privileged to enjoy most of these independent rights, and, sadly, Native Americans were being displaced and uprooted as they lost their native homelands to the onward movement of the American settlers. Since the momentous Declaration of Independence was signed and approved, our struggles to truly bring equality and equal rights to everyone has triumphed with many victories, while movements and progress continue to this day.
Even though it seems like such a long time ago, if you put it into the perspective that using a moderate lifetime of only 60 years, those 232 years since 1776 are less than 4 lifespans away from our present 2008. As we approach another 4th of July holiday celebration it comes to mind that our American peoples from all heritages and ethnic backgrounds can truly celebrate the enormous progress that has been made over the span of these minute and short 4 lifespans of time. Our values and ideals are far too precious to become lost through the fears and struggles we are experiencing today.
Our American forefathers successfully worked through strife, fears, and the bullies of their time to prevail in establishing this great country. We, as recipients and inheritors of their magnificent efforts, must hold our heads up high as we express our thanks and jubilation on the 4th of July Independence Day holiday celebrations that we live in such a great country, and we should be encouraged to work together, hand in hand, to resolve our problems and differences in order to maintain the integrity and values that the great and famous document, the Declaration of Independence was founded upon.
A significant point of evidence to remind us that all these differences can be overcome is the cooperative and friendly relationship and camaraderie that the United States and Great Britain have been enjoying for many many years. Those differences were very important to early Americans and Great Britain in 1776 that many risked and lost their lives over those matters at that time in history. Today it seems strangely remote and unusual that the United States and Great Britain would be enveloped in such a great controversy, and yet it happened. There is an important lesson here that we, too, can resolve all of our differences, and as we enjoy celebrating the 4th of July Independence Day holiday with the magnificent fireworks, tasty barbecues, traditional hot dogs, fun parades and other symbolic events that mark the freedom and birth of our great country, we share a common goal and belief that all people are created equal and that this country is founded on the belief of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all.
Have a good night!
