Anyone Looking for a Long Term Hawaii Rental? - 10/31/08 02:42 AM
We have lived in this beautiful three bedroom house in the Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii.  It has an expansive lanai with panoramic ocean views.  The finishings on the interior are very well done.  We just purchased a house in Waimea and have to move.  We are looking for someone that may want to rent the house after us.  We should close mid-December.  The monthly rental payment is $2500 plus utilities.  It was worth every penny.Please contact me at 808-987-4519 if you or anyone you know may be interested.

We were scheduled to get married in Mexico next month at Dreams Tulum on the Riviera Maya.  Due to some government issues, that resrt may be shut down during the dates we were going. 
We are now looking for a new wedding destination in that area.  We are not looking to stay in Cancun and want something that is kid friendly and not adults only.  Any recommendations?

WordPress and Godaddy - 10/20/08 02:12 AM
I have been blogging over the course of the last week attempting to get help setting up a WordPress blog on my site.  What I found out in the end is you can set up a real simple WordPress blog when hosted by Godaddy using windows hosting.  Once you try to take your blog further with much needed plugins, etc it does not work.  It also will not allow you to work with the code on the dashboard.  I hope people find this before they get started on a blog with Godaddy.
If anyone has any questions with the basic startup … (5 comments)

I need help with WordPress Headers - 10/17/08 05:31 PM
I started a blong on WordPress yesterday and got some good help....better help than I got from WordPress' web site.  Here is my problem.  If you go to www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/waikoloabeach, I finally got my header on there, my problem is that it does not fit.
What my book and google searches say to do is:Go to Design--theme editor--SS Style Sheet and then adjust this
#headerimg  { margin: 7px 9px 0; height: 192px; width: 740px;
Then click update file. 
Once I do that, it just puts the old numbers back in.
Does anyone know where I am going wrong?

Does anyone believe that an outgoing link to a BBB or Chamber helps your status? 
If so, I struggle to see where that would be true because anyone can link out.

Blogging ~ Should I use word press? - 10/16/08 02:42 PM
I was reading through some blogs yesterday and saw one by Jeff that hit on something I was goingt o write about.  He had about 50 comments and I put a comment, but never got a response so I thought I would just do a blog on it and maybe get more feedback.
I have been wanting to incorporate blogging into my sites.  I started with the Blogging tool that Godaddy offers.  It is good for blogging, but not for SEO.  I have heard WordPress is the best to go with.  Do you agree?
This next questions is for the experts (HAHA).  … (20 comments)

Link Directories - 10/14/08 04:54 PM
Doen anyone have any sites they recommend me checking out to get links?  I have a well optimized site and now I am focusing on trying to get some additional links.  I am not really enjoying this part of it by the way.  The only good part of it is that I cam across ActiveRain and I am enjoying the knowledge I am gaining from here.

How do you get Comments and Views? - 10/14/08 04:51 PM
I have been on Active Rain now for a few weeks.  When I write a blog I typically get a lot of views and a couple of comments, which I respond to.  All this happens within the first hour of me submitting the blog.  After that there are no return comments new comments, and few views.How do you get more people to view your blog?

Just curious as to people favorite night of television and their favorite shows?  For me, Tuesday night has become one of the best nights of television ever.  I love the show House (even though it is not as good as it used to be).  The new show Fringe is really interesting and it is my fiances second favorite show ever (Lost is first).  Tonight will be the Cleaner finale, which should be good.  I will also be watching the Mentalist for the first time.  I heard that one is really cool.  It is funny that I have this list because I … (4 comments)

Hawaii Vacation Rental Update - 10/11/08 01:37 PM
After a horrible week with the stock market, the vacations rental inquiries in Hawaii have seemed to come to a halt.  The winter looks to still be busy due to renters that come out to Hawaii annually.  Christmas still looks to be busy as usual.  Many people made plans to come to Hawaii over Christmas months back.  The new outlook shows that Americans will probably spend Christmas closer to home this year while spending about the same as years past on gifts.  With that in mind I do not feel there will be many more Christmas reservations unless something changes with the economy … (0 comments)
