Taking a good photo is not always east. But with animals, it becomes daringly difficult if the model decided not to cooperate.

WordPress, keywords are impossible (are they?)

What do you need to start a profitable blog?
This is more or less the question any blogger asks. This is what a Wired News article tries to answer with the help of Harold Davis you wrote a few books about Google and Google advertising. However, do not expect to make a living out of it right now. His opinion is that you can…
