Ultimate Blogging Theme Review

Although this has been around since 2008 – the Ultimate Blogging Theme is back again and getting a lot more notice with blogging professionals.

Whether you are a novice or a pro, having a “simple” blog does require some tech skills – especially when adding plug-ins. Unless of course you are using the simple Ultimate Blogging Theme.

The Ultimate Blogging Theme, a premium WordPress theme developed by Carl “Kidblogger” Ocab – a 15 year old boy – from the Philippines who has had phenomenal success blogging. I repeat — developed by a 15 year – hence this is one reason blogging professionals are taking notice.

What Makes The Ultimate Blogging Theme so Special?

* A Google-Friendly Design – This is the same WordPress theme used on a blog that ranks #1 for an extremely competitive terms – “make money online”. As for the on-page SEO, that has already been done and tested to produce the best possible results. All that is left for you to do is start churning out the content!

* No-Brainer to Install – Not everyone knows how to install and activate a WordPress theme, luckily for them, the Ultimate Blogging Theme comes with a step-by-step video tutorial that shows how to completely set up the theme within a few minutes. I actually enjoyed watching the video and setting up the theme on my local installation of WordPress! Trust me, even if you’ve never touched a piece of code, setting up this theme will be a piece of cake.

* Flawless Advertisement Placement – Fitting in as many advertisements as possible without making a theme look crowded is a pretty difficult task. One thing you will immediately notice when previewing the Ultimate Blogging Theme is how well the ads blend into the design. These placements have been personally tested and tweaked by Carl to produce the highest click-through rates and boost your income. You don’t even need to touch a single piece of code to edit the ad spots, everything can be done right from the WordPress Dashboard.

* Attention-Grabbing Design – If you check out the demo of the Ultimate Blogging Theme, you will see how everything seems to fit into place making extremely relaxing to look at. Subscribers will start increasing because of the optimized placement of the subscription box to the right of the header as well as under each individual post. I like the fact that there is nothing to distract you from the actual content?which is what people come for?and that the theme has a very organized look to it.

* Three Ultra-Tasty Flavors – Feeling cool? Hot? Or energetic?! Buying the single blog license package will give you access to three delicious flavors ranging from “Spit Fire Red”, “Chillin’ Blue”, and “Quirky Pink”?which is more than enough. But if you’re feeling really funky, you might want to buy the $97 package which gives you access to all six!

* Keep the Good Stuff at the Top – Every now and then, there are certain posts that you would like to give more exposure to than others. With the Ultimate Blogging Theme, you will be able to add links to your best posts and recommended tools right underneath the header as well as being able to create a featured post which will stay at the top of the page for a pre-defined time. This will help you share your more popular content in a place that is more visible, which in turn will dramatically increase the number of page views per visitor.

20 most annoying things at the grocery store

Vicki Passmore

Are you an “aisle blocker”? Perhaps you’re a dreaded “express lane abuser”? If you can lay claim to either of these titles, we have two words for you: Stop it! These two types of shoppers are at the center of frustrating experiences No. 4 and No. 5 on our 20 Most Annoying Things at the Grocery Store list.

How many of these pesky supermarket situations do you recognize?

1. Gargantuan Grocery Carts

In theory, these oversized kid-mobiles make perfect sense: Keep Junior entertained as he “drives” his toy car, so mom or dad can get their shopping done. But inreality, the mere presence of these behemoths can be groan-inducing. These colossal carts are impossible to steer and maneuver. And they are not only annoying for the beleaguered cart pusher, but also for the innocent bystanders trying to squeeze by or not get hit. Unfortunately, almost all toddlers clamor for and insist upon riding in one of these special carts, so parents have little luck in bypassing them.

2. Oops! I Forgot One Thing …

No. 2 on our list is the person who holds up the whole line because she forgot her checkbook in the car or just needs to go grab one onion.

3. Prolonged Temper Tantrums

No one wants to hear your child scream and carry on for 30 minutes because they can’t get Oreos. If your child’s screams can be heard four aisles over and the tantrum is lasting longer than five minutes, it’s time to leave the store. But sadly, tantrums are not just for kids. One WalletPop editor actually witnessed a seemingly “normal” woman go on a verbal rampage (expletives included) because the produce section was out of basil.

4. Aisle Blockers

Are you an “aisle blocker”? You know the type — reading labels, searching through coupons or on the cell phone — completely oblivious to the fact that you’re blocking the entire aisle with your cart. Perhaps you are unaware that you are in the way. Perhaps you know, but just don’t care. In either case, you are just plain annoying.

5. Express Lane Abuse

You have one gallon of milk to purchase. You are about to walk into the express lane (which clearly states 10 items or less), when in front of you pulls a shopper with a cart overflowing with groceries. This isn’t the “I-am-not-sure-if-I-have-10-or-11-items” cart, it’s the “I-am-feeding-a-family-of-seven-and-we-eat-a-lot” cart.

6. Kids on Wheels

Whether they are pushing the kid-sized carts into your heels (ouch!) or gliding down the aisles in their Heelys (read: sneakers with retractable wheels) — grocery stores and kids on wheels just don’t mix.

7. Payment Procrastinator

Don’t be the shopper who waits until the very last minute to find her checkbook and begin filling out her personal check. If you are paying by check, which already takes longer than most other methods of payment, here’s a hint: Have your checkbook out and your check pre-filled, so that when you get the final total that’s all you need to pop in! (Same goes for debit cards, credit cards, cash or any other type of payment — you shouldn’t be digging through your purse for it at the last minute!)

8. Hmm, I Guess I’ll Put Back the …

We think you’ll agree that people who are pretty certain they won’t have enough money to pay for all their groceries, but wait until the entire order is rung up to figure out what they’ll put back, qualify for our most annoying list. If you can’t keep a running tally in your head (which is certainly understandable), we suggest bringing a small calculator. Your fellow shoppers will thank you.

9. Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign

It used to be that you could walk down the aisle and little hanging tags would alert you to items that were on “sale.” It’s not so easy anymore. Nowadays, there are little tags for just about everything, including tags to just let you know this is an “Everyday Low Price.”

10. The ’10-for-$10′ Trick

When you see chips on sale at a 10-for-$10 price, what do you do? Do you buy all 10 to get the buck-a-piece price? Well, that’s certainly what the grocery stores want you to do. But a little-known secret is that in most grocery chains, those items will ring up for one dollar each — no matter how many you buy. The same goes with most “Buy One, Get One Free” offers. Typically, if you want just one of the item, it will ring up at 1/2 price. Check with your grocery store first, but then shop smugly as you snap up just the amount you want and need, while still getting the sale price.

11. That’s Gotta Sting

Even the most eagle-eyed shoppers have probably been stung by No. 11 on our list at some point in their grocery shopping lives. Here at WalletPop, we find that it almost physically smarts to buy food that is past the expiration date, damaged or opened — and not realize it until after you get home.

12. Poor Cart Choices

Maybe there were no other carts left. Maybe you were rushing into the store and didn’t take notice until you were well past the shopping cart corral. Then it happens. You want to go straight, but your cart has a bum wheel and keeps veering right, you notice an incessant squeak that JUST WON’T STOP or as you go to place items in your cart you realize there is some mystery substance smeared all over it. Worse yet — you take a cart back for one problem and end up with a cart with another problem.

13. Non-Private PIN Pads

Not only do we find No. 13 annoying, we also find it to be a financial security risk. We prefer our checkout PIN pads with privacy screening, please. When you are talking about minimizing the risk of identity theft, you can never be too careful.

14. Lots of (Closed) Lanes

It can be annoying enough to wait forever in a long checkout line, but it’s a special kind of annoying to be waiting forever in a long checkout line while 90% of the store’s registers are closed — even during prime shopping time. Poor planning? Everyone call in sick? Store cost cutting? You’re left with plenty of time to ponder the reason.

15. Rough Cashiers

We can’t stand cashiers who take no notice that they are denting cans and squishing bread as they slam our items around. Hey, don’t take your frustrations out on our eggs!

16. Two Problems for the Price of One

Not only do we get peeved when sale items don’t ring up as they should (good thing we were watching!), but we find it especially frustrating when the cashier is rude when we ask him to rectify the problem.

17. Checkout Belt Hogs

No. 17 on our list is people in the checkout line who don’t move up and out of the way when they are through putting their purchases on the conveyer belt. We can’t do anything with you standing there!

18. Self-Checkout Lanes

You’re in a hurry, there aren’t enough cashiers, the express lane is full of “abusers,” so you try the self-checkout lane only to find that something isn’t scanning and you have to wait for a cashier to be called over to help you anyway. So much for time saved!

19. Where the Heck Is It?!

Whether it’s an item that is located in a section that makes absolutely no sense or a favorite item that has abruptly been moved from its familiar spot, we hate wandering up and down the aisles growling, “Where the heck is it?!”

20. Frosty Freezers

Last on our list of grocery store annoyances is when people keep the frozen food doors open so long — as they hem and haw over what to buy — that they leave the doors all frosty and foggy so the next shopper can’t see what’s inside.
