Isn’t it annoying that at the end of the day, even if you got 100 clicks, you only made $1? Yes, one f*cking dollar!

One way to create an image is to simply capture what’s on your screen. The conventional way to do it would be to use the Print Screen key and dumping the  screenshot into Paint.

A website can’t be called as such if it has no links. Links direct readers to any part of your site. Think of it as a map.

It can also provide a rich experience for them if you provide links of websites related to your articles.

As such, it is important to check your links from time to time. Because sometimes, links become broken due to several factors: expired domains, deletion or you just simply wrote the wrong link in the first place.

Here’s a new easter egg from YouTube.
