How to Make Great Sushi Rice
Making sushi at home is easy and fun. It all starts with the sushi rice. If you have had sushi in the past, then you know that the sushi rice can make a big difference in how your sushi tastes. I know I have been to restaurants where they use too much vinegar and the whole meal is ruined. Sushi rice is not that hard and the ingredients are easier to find than ever. Most of them are right in your local supermarket.

Blinkweb Update from Brad and Matt Callen - Blinkweb Review
Brad and Matt Callen just sent out another update on the Blinkweb program informing us of some new additions and some changes made to the Blinkweb.com site. The key ones I find interesting are the Blinkweb Affiliate Program and the ability to download a zip file of your website. Another notable item is the Blinkweb Video Training program that is now available on the website. Here is a portion of the email that was sent out:

Shark Spotted Off The Coast of Martha’s Vineyard
That’s right, a shark was spotted off the coatst of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. If you’re in California, you’re saying, “Big deal!” about that, but here in the northeast, seeing a shark, especially at Martha’s Vineyard, really freaks people out. Does anyone remember the movie Jaws? Where do you think that movie was filmed? The scenes of Amity Island were filmed in Martha’s Vineyard.

Is Blinkweb a Big Parking Lot - Blinkweb Review
I did a few Blinkweb Review posts previously and was planning on continuing more frequently and in more detail, but I decided to keep it short and sweet so I can stay focused on my other income generating projects.I was even going to do a big Blinkweb Demo Video on how to setup a Blinkweb site.
Since my last post, the Callen brothers have posted on their blog that Blinkweb com has had over 20,000 websites created on their platform. I was curious what people were doing, so I typed in some of the big keyword terms for sub-domains (ie. makemoneyonline.blinkweb.com) and I saw a lot of empty sites. It’s like a big parking lot over there. Most of the domains I typed in at Blinkweb were not sites at all, just placeholders. Some of the ones that did have something up were just a blank template. One or two that I found had actual a site setup.
That doesn’t mean that no actual sites were created with Blinkweb for legitimate use, but knowing what I know about how the internet marketer mind works, it is pretty obvious that people just went to town registering as many Blinkweb sub-domains as they could as fast as possible. They want to lock down the “money” subdomains at Blinkweb for possible future use.
Blinkweb also has the ability to create a site and download it as a zip file so maybe that is what everyone is doing with their sites. I poked around with the Blinkweb software myself but did not spend too much time with it to do a real Blinkweb Review. I prefer to use Wordpress for my own websites almost across the board. I can see the appeal for making sales letters though, I just don’t use them at this point in time. Maybe some day when I decide to sell out and make an ebook or have something to sell. For now I’ll stick with Adsense and affiliate programs.
I wish there was some Blinkweb affiliate program to review that would allow us to make some money off the Blinkweb program, but for now nothing seems to be in the works. They have enough of a client base and reach to stay away from that, at least for now. Why give away affiliate sales when you can launch alone first and keep all the initial sales. Blinkweb does sell domains and hosting so there is some opportunity to earn income from the service. Hopefully they have a plan for a Blinkweb affilaite program so I can do a new Blinkweb Review.
I Really Do Learn Something New Every Day
‘m not sure about you, but I am a very inquisitive person. I am always trying to figure out how to make things work or make them better. Sometimes it is out of necessity, other times for the fun of it. With my online businesses, I am always trying to learn new ways to do things, to improve and streamline operations and to increase the bottom line. I have found many places online that offer to teach me about one thing or another, but I’ve also learned that you cannot believe everything you read. Espeically on the internet.

Blinkweb Templates
I was able to get a look at some of the Blinkweb Templates that will be available to users of Blinkweb and they really look incredible. Some of them look like a typical sales letter page with different styles, light, dark, etc. But there are other Blinkweb Templates that really look awesome. The graphics and designs look extremely professional, not like a cheap template from a template site.
