Optimize Wordpress
Wow .. that was scary! Wahm Cafe was down for 2 days before I finally found the solution! All you probably would have seen was a blank page when you arrived here, which was bad enough, but then to have my hosting company tell me that my .htaccess file had been changed yesterday had me thinking “HACKER”.

I’m not really sure what’s gotten into me lately, but I’ve definitely caught the blogging bug. I was never sure how people with multiple blogs kept up with them all which is why I’ve tried to avoid doing the multi-blog thing.

#1 on the list is OIO Publisher – this is by far the best advertising system that I’ve come across and can be used as a stand alone system (on websites) or as a Wordpress plugin. All of the banners and buttons that you see on Wahm Cafe are now powered by OIO Publisher, and can be purchased with either Entrecard Credits, or with cash using PayPal.
