Hi Shari,<\/p>\n

I see you are still getting contributors, but we need more so I put a link on my Home Page to your blog \u2013 in the prime position right at the top. The \u2018Get rich and famous\u2019 on the Internet theme should intrigue them. the sun is still shining in England, I hope it last through Sunday, the roads will be quiet and I can take more photographs for my digital art school.<\/p>\n

I am doing the rounds of the social networks today trying to catch up and counting all that virtual money I have! It\u2019s a shame it\u2019s not real, we could retire on the billion dollars I have on one site! lol.<\/p>\n

note: “virtual money is a start”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have talked to my friend in China, she has just gone to bed, she has an early start tomorrow. They are 8 hours ahead of England and now I have Rachell on Windows Live in Nevada who is 8 hours behind England. She\u2019s on early, it 3:40 here. My Chinese student friend will show new students around the university and meet them at 7 in the morning; for this she gets free food for the weekend. I commented they are getting generous, next year they will hand out text books! It seems they have no plans for text books next year either. I think my student friends will be shocked when they come to England to do post graduate studies. I think it will be an exchange scheme and their university has links with my local university and so they will at least know someone here. I have looked ta the courses and the International business course is a masters and at a campus about 8 miles form here.<\/p>\n

I have also been contributing to a thread about frugal living on LI, they are stealing our idea! Say no to credit cards and say yes to getting rich and famous! <\/em> Networking is important on a lot of social networking sites and even having something in common with your connections. I play Farmville on Facebook and I\u2019m on level 83. I don\u2019t just play, I win! I can then blog on a website and have a page of Farmville Secrets!<\/p>\n

note: see FARMVILLE is not “nonconsequential” [One newbie mistake<\/a> is to be too judgmental before you know what’s what]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Getting back to frugal, I bought a book from Amazon for less that \u00a32 (about $3) that is a very clear guide to doing a website with Dreamweaver 8; OK, it\u2019s not the latest version but still does a good website. I must read the rest of the book, I have 300 files on that website and launched it a week after we got the domain name; coding by hand for the first week in HTML using notepad! I learn fast and have CSS working now!<\/p>\n

More ideas on HOW TO GET RICH<\/strong><\/p>\n

I may have a Frugal Friday blog once a week when I get some more webspace to put WordPress on. My Chinese friend thinks I\u2019m really good at doing Chinese horoscopes, I wonder if you can get rich doing that? I was hoping she would do those, it is so much more convincing if you happen to be Chinese! I have to come up with business ideas for my two Chinese friends when they come to England. They are thinking of getting jobs, they will make more money in business and they won\u2019t need work permits. Maybe translating people\u2019s names into Chinese so they can have them tattooed somewhere very personal? Tattoos and piercings are very fashionable amongst people with too much money and not much sense. The other option is in translating, they must both be close to fluent in English when they come to England; that isn\u2019t easy but they work hard and study at weekends.<\/p>\n

As writers of course social networking is important to us to get new ideas to steal from people. I steal ideas all the time and then patch them together and with a little word craft I have something worth writing about. The secret of success of course if diversity, being able to talk to someone in China, play Farmville on Facebook; both at the same time and then switch to chatting to someone in the USA, do some blogging, plan what to cook for dinner, listen to Fantasia on British Seasongs and shout at next door cat \u2013 all at the same time. This is multi-tasking in the 21st century!<\/p>\n

note: Give someone a fish and he’ll have dinner with Mike. Teach him to fish, and he can give Mike dinner every night.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m going to drive to a fish and chip shop and get chips for dinner. People around the world are really interested in what I have for dinner. The picture of a fish and chips shop was really popular when I put that on my website. I must find that again; it could be on photobucket? The young girl in the photo learning up against the counter had legs up to her armpits though that attracted a few comments. I have all my art on photobucket it saves me web space. I have had some good comments about my photography and Neodigital Art. It\u2019s a very exclusive Art movement\u2026<\/p>\n
