Discover the Amazing Health Benefits of Tea

We have always been advised against drinking tea and warned about the underlying risks of excessive intake of tea. Now with researches and new theories the old school of thought is being discarded and tea drinking is considered to be very useful for health. We bring you some health benefits of tea.

Tea has been found to be a great antidote for high cholesterol as they contain a compound known as flavonoids.

Power Leveling My World Of Warcraft WoW Character To 70 In 6 Days!

I can level any horde race and class to 70 in no time at all. I wouldn't have even imagined saying that a year ago. I used to struggle in World of Warcraft. I was grinding to get to the next level, not knowing where the next quests were, and just plain not having fun. So I looked around on the web for some horde leveling guides. I tried some tips and tricks that I found but I considered myself a decent gamer and already knew most of the areas and tips I was given.

My guild mates and friends always would tell me to keep on the grind and Id soon join them at 60... I told them I just wasn't having fun anymore and that I was seriously considering stopping playing. One of the top guild elite members PM'd me. I did not even know this guy in real life and hadn't really talked to him before. He told me about this certain guide he had found and that was how he had leveled all his alts up to 60 and now 70.

So I went and looked for this guide and gave it a try. Why not, I loved the game when I started and wanted to join my friends at the max level. The guide was great! It made the game fun again. No longer was I wandering around searching for random quests. I got the enjoyment of leveling my character up by myself and not missing out on game content.

Some people actually pay for their character to be leveled by someone else. They miss out on the whole WoW game experience! I had my 30 tauren warrior get up to 60 in 3 days 1 hour playing time! My friends thought I was hacking! Ha ha... I went from being the "guy who everyone had to help out" to the guy who helped them when they were in trouble.

These days I help my guild out sometimes with their characters and I personally own a 70 of every race for my horde guild. Life on the Warcraft battlefield is good, wouldn't you say? My friend bought the guide and set up a site really explaining what he liked and didn't like about the guide. You should check it out! Maybe I'll see you on my server!

Information on the guide I use can be found here: Power Leveling Exposed

Blog Comments Sense

When you contribute your comments to other's Blogs, it is an opportunity to show your personality, expertise and gain exposure for your Web site.

What many seem to not understand is that Blogs are about opinions and conversations not about one-sided desires for self-promotion. In the almost rabid quest to attain incoming one-way links to their Web sites, Blogs are being hit with generic dribble from marketers that serve no purpose other than reflecting the commenter's desire to gain a coveted inbound link.

I have a handful of Blogs and each and everyone is moderated. By being moderated this means that any comments submitted need to be approved by me before being added to my Blogs for public viewing. My Blogs -- my call -- and I am very persnickety about what gets added to my Blogs by those I don't know. It's called quality control.

A site visitor's comments do not see the light of day on my Blogs unless they meet the following criteria:

1. Their comment must include their name; at the very least their first name -- typed properly.
2. Their comment must be specific to the post they are commenting on -- and I mean specific. General blah-blah-blah doesn't cut it -- comments must include detailed verbiage clearly about the post in question or it gets marked as spam. Comments like "I see your point of view but don't agree" without telling me why you disagree tells me you are just link baiting.
3. Compliments are futile. Yes, we all love hear how great our site is and having our egos stroked by site visitors. But my ego doesn't not fall prey to those who try to compliment their way into gaining a link to their site from my Blogs. Only those compliments combined with thoughtful specific commentary will have a chance of being approved for viewing by my site visitors. It's all about the conversation!

Between all my Blogs, minimally 200 "comments" each day are marked as spam because they do not meet the basic criteria above. Some of these comments are submitted by bots; while others are from naive marketers thinking that their incoherent typo filled grammatically incorrect ramblings will actually be approved for display thereby giving them that highly desired one-way link to their site that search engines look for.

News Flash to Blog owners -- moderate your Blog and integrate the above standards as well. Doing so will help to increase the value and integrity of your Blog in the process. Otherwise you risk your Blog's overall worth being affected negatively by "comments" that are of no value to anyone.

Commenting on Blogs is certainly a great way to gain exposure. But only when done properly and for all the right reasons integrating courtesy and common sense when doing so. If you don't have anything of definitive value to contribute and don't want to make the efforts mentioned above -- then don't waste your time or that of Blog owners.
