Get paid to blog
We all need to pay the bills at crunch time, and after browsing through a couple of sites, I have come across a few ways to make money through your blog. You could advertise on blogs, or affiliate banners, but most of the time, the payout is quite low.
One site I have come across recently is Smorty. Smorty allows you to” get paid to blog” by writing a review on a product by one their advertisers. You can also sign up as an advertiser, and ask people to write reviews on their products, which essentially mean you are getting advertising on blogs.
Signing up is a breeze, and after your blog has been approved, you can start reviewing products right away. The site is super friendly and easy to use, and you track your payments, which are paid into your PayPal account.
Give it a try. Blog for money now at smorty.com

Facebook Lifehack – No More Facebook Applications
I know I have been posting a lot of Facebook shit lately, but I came across a handy new feature that makes me very happy. After last week’s rant about Facebook apps, I have found quick and easy way to ignore them.
Firstly it seems that Facebook has changed the way they display the apps to the user. Instead of having the list of apps appearing under your profile picture on the left, which took up loads of space, they have now put icons for each app, taking up much less space.
They now also allow you to “Minimize” apps that you don’t want to see on profiles. So instead of having to scroll and scroll to the bottom of the page to see your friends wall, you can now minimize the apps, so that just the title of the app appears.
This is what the current apps look like:
Now if you click on the blue arrow in the top left, it will minimize the app, and only show the title of the app.
This way, you are able to scroll past all the apps, you don’t to see, and makes loading times much faster and uses less screen “real estate”. So much prettier :)
