This is a sponsored post about insurance and it is a UK based insurance company by the name of Thrifty Scot and this is how they describe themselves on their site. “The no nonsense, plain speaking-money saving advice site.” I checked out their site and if I lived in the UK I would definitely consider it.

They have information that will be of interest to you concerning home insurance, car insurance, and life insurance. There is a lot of articles and tips and hints that you will find useful regardless of where you live.

They have independent comparison tools so you can see if they can save you money with your insurance. I know lots of people are looking for good coverage with low rates. I wanted to try the tool, but I’m not in the UK so it wouldn’t have been able to help me or maybe it could have, but I didn’t try it because I didn’t want to waste their time, but they say it searches over 90% of home insures in 2 minutes. Perhaps you nice UK visitors here would check it for me.

Point is we all need insurance in case of accidents and damage. If your very lucky you might be able to go through life without the need of protection, but I’m not that lucky. When I lived in Tennessee I couldn’t afford car insurance at the time and it wasn’t a state requirement so I didn’t have it.

It started snowing and they closed my son’s school early and I had to go pick him up. Needless to say cars were sliding everywhere and mine was no exception. I slid right into another car and I was creeping along, but I still did 1,000 dollars worth of damage and guess what since I didn’t have insurance I had to find someone to co-sign for me to get a loan which I couldn’t afford either and that started my life of debt up until 6 years ago. Thanks for reading and check and see if you can get lower insurance through these people.

I can actually use my Kontera links now and they don’t bother me. I think only around 6 shows up and I like that much better than the 14 or so that use to pop up every where. You can find the link to this plugin on that post or scroll to the bottom and click on the link there.

I learned something simple today that I didn’t know at the time I was trying the plugin the other night. I had no clue that I was suppose to click on options to find the nice interface that a newbie can understand and put my info for controlling this plugin there.. Duh, how silly I felt, but you really have to explain so we beginners understand. There is a post explaining everything that we need to know on her blog. Like I said before either scroll to the bottom to find her link or click the plugin post above.

I like the fact that the Wordpress upgrade moved the categories list up to the top and don’t automatically have the default checked for you when your writing a post. At least this way I am reminded to choose. I haven’t tried publishing with out picking yet, but I assume it would go to the default.

I am having a small issue with my hosting and this only started when I upgraded my Wordpress. It tells me I am using too many PHP resources at once. So I might have to do away with some of my plugins hopefully it will level out. They are using a new script themselves to make everything run faster so I’m pretty sure that is where it’s coming from. I have been with them almost a year now and I do like their service. I think I have only had one down time and that didn’t last very long.

A while back I kept getting emails with the following in the subject line: Fantastico De Luxe Outdated Installations Notification for judesmultiinfo.com and being a newbie about certain things I had no clue where they were coming from because my host’s name wasn’t on them and I wasn’t sure what I was suppose to be doing if anything.

I finally decided to check my C panel and check the Fantastico image there and sure enough it was telling me to upgrade my Wordpress. I had to do that anyways because the other night I couldn’t get back into my blog. So another small mystery solved for me.

It’s been raining all night and morning here in York. I hope it’s nice tomorrow so Bill and I can ride. I really look forward to the weekends.
