The back-end part of doing this online furniture shop, that’s also a handful. Making sure that the plug-ins are working, the contact form, doing back-ups, the pages are showing up correctly, ads are all good and more.

I’ll tell you, making a shop-blog for furniture is not for the faint-hearted. Kids, don’t try this at home.

Marketers always have the statement… “we are the fastest growing network…,” “we are the fastest growing food chain…,” etc… well, we are positive, the House of Leoque furniture website, is one of the fastest growing weblogs-con-shop in the Philippines. And this site will only get bigger, bolder and better.

Here’s to another 500 posts!

40-year-old Elizabeth Thrasher is the first person arrested under new Missouri “cyberbullying” laws, following the posting of pictures, the email address, and cell phone number of a 17-year-old girl on Craigslist, where she claimed she was looking for a sexual rendezvous. The girl — as you’d expect — received numerous lewd come-ons. After she called the cops, Thrasher also received something: A trip to jail. Thrasher was freed on $10,000 bond but is now preliminarily barred from having a computer or internet access in her home pending her trial. Thrasher’s motives are unclear, but the girl in question is allegedly the daughter of her ex-husband’s new girlfriend, so a revenge plot is a bit obvious here.

Amid the crowds that massed around Aquino’s funeral cortege on August 3, vendors sold Cory pins for P30 to P40 or plain yellow ribbons for P10 each. Some of these ribbons were home-made.

Cory memorabilia and items cropped up even on online market platforms like eBay Philippines.

Various sellers on eBay are advertising mementoes like a commemorative silver coin that was minted when Aquino visited Washington in 1986. Only 1,000 coin pieces were made, so the bidding price for one commemorative silver coin on eBay starts at P4,000.

Other items being sold on the website are People Power T-shirts (P500), a “Cory Aquino for President” badge (P10 starting bid), and 1986 Cory Aquino campaign photos currently priced at $13.13 (about P626).
