This is Nutangs CHANGBANG dancing hula...



I was thinking about opening up a hula studio and teaching hawaiian dance. I am planning on opening the school in an expensive area. It is up on a hill where rich people live. They have their own little community of yuppy people that dont like to come down the hill to socialize.

I think I just came up with a name for my school... "Aloha O Panaewa Dance Studio"

How does that sound?

I want to use that name because it is a part of my daughters hawaiian name.

I was not sure what blogmad was all about or if it even helped drive traffic at all. I was talking to some people in the chat box under UCP and got some clarification. For every blog you view you will get a hit to your site. The ratio is 1:1. So if you visit 60 weblogs you will receive 60 visitors.

Allocation of credits is a new system that works like this:
"We have also made it easier for you to assign the credits you are earning to a blog. This means that while you are passively earning credits on services such as textlinks, they are directed toward your blogs in a split that you have defined. You can have 20% go toward blog 1 and 80% toward blog 2. This means that you won’t have to check up on the allocation everyday and the system keeps itself running.
The spending priorities are the same as usual, you give your blog a value from 1-10 and the one with the higher number will receive the majority of the traffic in a ratio relevant to your other blog priorities."

"Please note that the credits you allocate to the different services are immediately deducted from your account and put aside for the specific allocation you have set. Eg. if you assign 100 credits to surf bar and 15 to text links, 115 credits will be removed from your account."

So basically you can assign where you want all of your traffic and credits to go. My advice is to only register one blog. More than one blog is only meant for the ones that buy credits and can afford to spend them!!

Keep surfing!

Christmas Walnut Toffee

INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup butter
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 tablespoon corn syrup
* 3 tablespoons water
* 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, divided
* 1 (6 ounce) package chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Butter a 9 inch square baking dish, and set aside. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and corn syrup until smooth. Heat to 290 degrees F (145 degrees C) using a candy thermometer.
2. When the temperature has been reached, stir in 1 cup of the walnuts, and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. Pour into the prepared pan, and allow to cool. When the toffee is cooled, remove from the pan, and place onto waxed paper. Melt chocolate chips in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
3. Spread half of the melted chocolate onto one side of the toffee slab, and sprinkle with half of the remaining nuts. Allow to cool until set, then repeat with the other side. Break into bite size pieces when set.

Blogazoo is POO!

I registered with blogazoo recently. At first they denied my blog because they said Nutang has frame breakers and they do not allow any of our accounts access. Then I asked to Dave to fix it. So now I am in. However I am not getting any hits from the credits I have allocated. Blogazoo said that you only get hits from the credits you earn by the amount of people on their servers. So basically, there arent enough people on blogazoo so you do not get many hits for your credits earned.

In my opinion, it is not worth signing up for and wasting your time viewing blogs for credit!!

A Trekkie wears a uniform to a convention because s/he has heard that it is in style at the academy.

A Trekkie can't wait for the price to come down on those home food replicator units.”

Those self-identified trekkies, however, have their own fodder to fling. They associate the term trekkers with pretentious nuts obsessed over minutiae and details. Moreover, they accuse ‘trekkers’ of being too ashamed to admit they are ‘trekkies.’ Apparently this camp has the good graces of Gene Roddenbury, the creator of Star Trek. According to his former assistant, Richard Arnold, Gene Roddenbury spoke during a convention and used the term trekkie. Someone attempted to correct him, to which he responded, “Excuse me, did you say 'TrekkER?' The word is 'TrekkIE.' I should know, I created them." (http://www.trekdoc.com/database/fanfeed/1.htm)

I am new to this and I dont know the difference between an blog and a module. I dont know how to use the templates but I think I will like it here. It is much quieter than myspace.. this is just a whole new, different community.
