Looking Back In 2011
Looking back… 2011 has been a good year for me in terms of my online business(es), especially when I am still running all my blogs all by myself. Monthly income generated by these blogs though may not be enough to feed a family but to me, it’s a positive sign that there’s money to be made online and can be a good income opportunity on top of my day job.

In June 2011, engineers in Singapore took a big step into the future when they launched an electric vehicle test-bed right in the heart of Singapore. The goal of the test-bed, created by a government task force including the Energy Market Authority and the Land Transport Authority, is to determine what works best when it comes to electric vehicles and charging station infrastructure. Being a highly urban area with plenty of city roads to work with, Singapore is an ideal testing location for this technology before unveiling it for the general public to purchase and utilize.
This is important technology to begin testing because electric vehicles offer consumers a new option when it comes to reducing energy and, of course, combating the ever-rising cost of fuel. The test-bed is providing an opportunity for Singaporeans to see which electric cars will work best in mainstream society and just how quickly and efficiently these vehicles will recharge. In some vehicles, the braking mechanism produces kinetic energy that automatically recharges the battery. Other vehicles include high-efficiency charging systems that allow them to fully recharge in an hour or less.

Yesterday (12/12) was the day that my sites went down (and up), along with it, the opportunity to generate some income from the various Ads on my site but nonetheless it was a good experience learned and also a big thank you to my web hosting company who helped me resolve most of the issues.
What Went Wrong With My Blog Sites
I am currently running (and have installed) quite a number of blog sites with the shared web hosting package that allows me to run unlimited domains (and sites) within a hosting space of 5GB.
Part of my online income streams that I am currently having is to do reviews of various marketable products like eBooks, Web Templates, WordPress Plugins, Amazon Products and many others. And the root cause for the sites going down is due to the installation of my WordPress Plugins.
It seemed that after running one year of blogging of numerous reviews, I have managed to install quite a number of WordPress Plugins which are left very much “running on its own” on my various blog sites.
And yesterday was the day that one of these mysterious WordPress Plugins decide to create havoc and slow down the whole server (and I understood from the web hosting guys that the alarm went off and that must be quite a situation, oops!)

For those who are currently running a small business with employees and are looking for some payroll employee benefits and have been doing quite a fair bit of searches and comparisons – have you included in Intuit Pay Roll yet?
Intuit & QuickBook Goes A Long Way Back For Me…
Back when (around 9 years back) I was starting out trying to create and run my own business (back then was a referral middleman for florist shop) – I was very fascinated with those accounting and payroll software and service and one particular product that was very popular back then was (and still is) Intuit’s Quickbook!
I can still remember the excitement when I created my first invoice out from it after a fair bit of meddling because I do not have any knowledge of what’s needed and what’s best to go into an invoice but Quickbook helped me quite a long…
Intuit Has A Lot Of Services Now…
