The Internet it a great place to hang around, but it can also be a tricky biosphere to survive upon… particularly for novice web masters. Publishing content on line is a great way of getting in touch with the world, but all the while it’s a genuine obstacle course. There are always new things to learn, even when you’re an intermediate / advanced web master, and in my opinion that’s what makes the whole game so interesting and enticing.

Well, for beginner web masters though, one of the most important things to keep in mind is to know your webhost. The web hosting business is one of the greatest on line markets (which is no wonder, once you realize that a web host is basically the ground provider where you get to build your websites), and in order to give your websites a good chance of growing, you should learn how to place them on steady, fertile ground.

think in proportion

Regardless, there’s no need to get yourself a huge premium patch of land if you’re just planning to build a small cabin. When it comes to choosing a webhost, I’ll usually recommend novice web masters to start off with budget hosting and upgrade accordingly to your needs. There are always exception to the rules, but trust me… it’s quite unlikely you’ll require a premium web host service in your first year of running websites.

Unless you’re some kind of haphazard time traveller, I’m pretty sure this will come as no surprise: the world keeps changing, and the future is right here and now… and progressively even more so. In our fast-paced contemporary societies, we’re no longer worried with imagining how the future will turn out, because we’re rather busy participating in making the future, each and every day. Everything is changing, and in time, change becomes us; welcome to the days of the future past.

Well, okay… so the Internet can be a good place to learn new things, that’s granted. However, it can also be one of the potentially worst places, when it comes to asking for help. When it comes to teaching “noobs”, the “l33t” variety of Internet users oftentimes displays quite a unique sense of humor.

some Internet users sure have a peculiar sense of humor

I just came across this snapshot from a photoshop forum which pretty much demonstrates my point of case. Just go ahead and take a look, and if you don’t understand just leave a comment asking for help, I’m sure someone will be glad to provide you with all the explanation you need!

If you’re not a hipster Internet user, chances are that you’ll sometimes get wondering about the latest meme. You know, those strange expressions people seem to toss around, which quite so often don’t really make any sense (except for common sense, that is). Well, today we’ll be discussing one of the most tasteful memes I could possibly think of: it’s called OM NOM NOM NOM and you’re supposed to say it out loud - and say it like you mean it.

You see, this is meant to express the sound of ravenous eating, and it’s usually associated with funny pictures where an animal or inanimate object seems to be vigorously devouring something in its way. Like this:

Got it? If you feel like using your imagination and putting up your own OMNOMNOM’s, feel free to send them over. If you’re just out for laughs check out the OMNOMNOMNOM website here. Enjoy your memes and try not to be a glutton… well, not too much, anyway!

If you’re a person who enjoys traveling, upbeat initiatives and life in general, and you hang around the vast Interwebs, there’s a good chance you’ve probably been told about this guy. Matt Harding is an internet celebrity of sorts, generally known as “Dancing Matt” quite simply because… well he enjoys dancing a lot, recklessly flailing his limbs like there’s no tomorrow. Also, he loves shaking his moves it all around the world, and in fact it could be reasoned he’s already crossed half world with his wacky dance, reaching out to millions of people and amusing us all with his goofy ways.

Matt looks like the kind of person that just won’t settle down; not in the conformist way, at least. He’s always been a traveler of sorts (check video at the end of this article for an interview), and one day a friend dared him to do that “crazy dance” in front of the camera. That day, a special kind of magic was born, and thousands of people from all over the world seemed to enjoy watching. In fact the success was overwhelming that it didn’t take long until Matt was offered a sponsorship by a chewing gum company which really allowed this dreamer to soar the skies of cyberspace, while roaming across the vast green earth:

That’s how the second hugely popular video from Dancing Matt came about, including footage from over 47 countries in the world. Millions of people watched this video, and it instantly became an Internet phenomenon. Time went by, and two years later, Matt approached his sponsors with a suggestion for a sequel of sorts - this time around he wanted to dance with people from around the world, thousands of which had contacted him via e-mail, asking when he’d stop by their homelands for a two-step.

How about that? When it comes to finding a good contemporary example of how believing in your dreams and the power of spontaneity and fun, Matt Harding is easily a role model. Armed with nothing but a crazy non-sensical dance and a taste for travel, he was able to reach out to the world and into the hearts of millions of people. I couldn’t be happier or more honored to cut this guy a slice, because what he’s doing positively provides us with a heartfelt, cheerful reminder why it’s great being around here. Life is just great, when you learn how to let go and let it be.
