Welcome polymaths !

Ever get the feeling that you seem to don't know what to do with your life because there are just so many things that you want to do ? I know, I've been there, so welcome to the club.

My name is Zigfred Diaz and I am a polymath. After more than 6 years of bloging about almost anything under the sun and having sort of a "blogging identity crisis." I've finally embraced who I am and decided to turn my main blog into some sort of guide for people with so much interest. Feel free to poke around.

People always look up to other people for inspiration. One of the stories that inspired me to begin blogging and to explore internet marketing much further is that of Ashley Qualls, a 17 year old girl who built a million dollar company in the internet. Be inspired by her story in this short youtube clip. You can also read about Ashley Qualls in a previous post. I wonder what she will do with all her money at that young age. Go figure :-) … [Read more...]

by 5 Comments

Stock Market Conventions and Terms If you have read my previous post you must have already known why companies trade in the stock market and why you should invest in the stock market. In order to successfully trade in the stock market you must first understand the language that is being used in trading. There are several terms that might still sound foreign to you. Take note the definition of the terms that will be discussed here will not be very technical.

How to put ads in between your blog post in Word press

by Leave a Comment

As I do my usual blog hopping, I try to emulate the good things that other bloggers do to improve their blog. I noticed that in some blogs, ads were strategically placed within the post in small square boxes. Logically if the ads were placed within the post itself people are most likely to click on the ad especially if it is relevant and related to the post that they are reading. This helps the blogger learn additional income especially when they are displaying adsense ads. I wanted to achieve this effect but I did not know how. I did not want to “hack” my way into my word press theme since I am no word press expert and I don’t want to get into the hassle of “crashing” my wordpress theme. So I decided that a plugin is the best solution to this problem. I was sure that there is already somebody out there who has developed a solution to this problem. Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, yep, I found out the right plugin to achieve what I was looking for. Let the … [Read more...]
