I was reading the web hosting articles and tutorials that I found today on the webhostingrating.com website.  My sister asked me to teach her how to set up her own web page, and I figured that I really didn’t know that much about it to really teach someone else!  So I turned to the Internet to try to educate myself better.  My mother always used to say that the best way to learn something is by teaching it to someone else!  I think she was right!

One of the things that I like about this particular web site is that it has recommendations based on ratings and reviews for the top 10 web host companies, but it also reviews and rates companies that provide cheap web hosting too.  There’s a lot of information packed into this site!

I was reading that President Obama has asked the EPA to consider allowing California to require better fuel efficiency in cars. I think that fuel efficiency should be required in all of the states, not just California! I don’t think there is a valid reason in the world why so many cars and trucks get such poor fuel efficiency! The technology is out there; we should be using it!  One of the reasons the big 3 car companies are struggling right now is because they keep producing gas hogs, so people are buying foreign cars that get better mileage!  They need to wake up and smell the coffee!

I don’t have any idea whatsoever why I stopped using the shop.com website for my Internet shopping.  I used to go there all of the time for comparison shopping.  I think that it was the very first resource that I learned about on Internet shopping.  I liked them a lot!

Well, I can’t remember who it was that led me astray, but I’ve recently rediscovered shop.com. I think that they’ve improved their site since the last time I have visited it. They have a really nice clearance sale going on now, and a link to coupon offers that I don’t remember being there before. They have contests and sweepstakes a link to stores that offer free shipping. I’m bookmarking this site in my shopping category for future reference!

Over the past couple of days I’ve been hearing and reading about President Obama’s stimulus package, and how it passed the House but did not get any backing from any of the Republicans there. Seems the Republicans want more tax cuts and less spending. Well, I think that the plan sounds like a good one, and I hope it passes and that it brings the economy back into a healthy state. I know that there is no “quick fix,” and it is a huge mess. I’m glad I’m not the one who has to figure out how to fix it!

My aunt has a 2008 Toyota Prius that she has put a lot of miles on.  I’ve been envious of her Toyota Prius ever since she bought it.  She likes to brag about how she gets 50 miles per gallon with her Prius Hybrid, so she says she doesn’t worry about the price of gas.  Well, I think that even though she gets such great mileage she should still worry about the price of gas!  After all, when the price of gas goes up, so does the cost of everything that we buy – food, clothing, everything!  I guess she’s just a little bit naive about how the world really works!

I’d like to buy a hybrid vehicle the next time we buy a car; I like the looks of the Honda Insight.  The reviews on that sound promising!  It may be a couple of years before I have enough money to buy any new car, though, so I’ll be interested to see what else comes out on the market!
