			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last couple of days Twitter have changed the way they allow share URLs to work. If you had a WordPress Blog then previously you could use something like this:</p>
<pre class="brush: xml; title: ;">&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/home/?status=&lt;?php bloginfo('name'); ?&gt; : &lt;?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?&gt;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tweet&lt;/a&gt;</pre>
<p>However the above code will no longer work and will not transfer the tweet details (text, url etc) to the text box. Instead you will need to use the following code:</p>
<pre class="brush: xml; title: ;">&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=&lt;?php bloginfo('name'); ?&gt; : &amp;url=&lt;?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?&gt;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tweet&lt;/a&gt;</pre>
<p>As you can see, quite an easy fix! Notice the <strong>/intent/tweet?text=</strong> part of the code. I hope this helps because I struggled to find anything on the Internet about this. Alternatively, you could use the twitter API: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button</p>
<p>The API seems like the way to go but getting it to do exactly what you want can be tricky unless you have some experience with APIs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Firstly apologies for not posting for over a year and a half, I used to post regular but moved away from blogging. I just thought I would write a quick post about a new website I have a launched. The website is aimed at those looking for a hotel when they visit the Formula 1 British Grand Prix later this year. <a href="http://www.hotelsnearsilverstone.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hotels near Silverstone</a> was created just a couple of days ago and I&#8217;m hoping it will become a popular information website for those looking to book their accommodation.</p>
<p>With a really exciting year ahead in Formula 1 (another British World Champion and the return of Michael Schumacher) the season should be action packed &#8211; I am certainly looking forward to it!</p>
<p>Silverstone is also hosting the MotoGP and Superbikes this year so if you&#8217;re a bike fan you are well looked after. Getting to Silverstone is really easy to get to because it&#8217;s right next to the M40 and M1 motorways. There is also an airport on site so if fancy splashing some cash you can arrive in a helicopter!</p>
<p>2010 will be an exciting year for motor racing fans!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago I came across a plugin for Mozilla Firefox called <a href="http://www.property-bee.com/" target="_blank">Property Bee</a>. For those of you who haven&#8217;t heard of it I will try and explain what it is and how it works.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.property-bee.com/" target="_blank">Property Bee</a> is a small plugin which works in the Firefox internet browser to track house prices (a huge talking point in the UK at the moment). Using the <a href="http://www.rightmove.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rightmove</a> website it keeps track of any changes that an Estate agents makes to a listing. For example if an estate agent changes a price and you view the listing again, it will record that listing and store it in a database. Sounds pretty simple doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Well, the clever part comes from the title of the plugin &#8211; &#8216;Bee&#8217;. When you install the plugin and then register you come a &#8216;Bee&#8217;. When working with other Bees you send your findings on the website to a server which holds all the changes to the listing on <a href="http://www.rightmove.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rightmove</a>. When you next do a search on <a href="http://www.rightmove.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rightmove</a> for an area or a property it will download all the changes in between meaning you get an in depth record of price changes!</p>
<p>Although I have only been using it a few weeks, because I am working as a &#8216;Bee&#8217; I have been collecting other peoples data. Therefore some of the properties I have been looking at on <a href="http://www.rightmove.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rightmove</a> show huge drops in price! The average price drop around here (Oxfordshire &amp; Berkshire area) seems to be between 10-20%!</p>
<p>A lot of the properties have been on the market for 6+ months (yes Property Bee tells you how long it&#8217;s been on the market too)! It&#8217;s all quite exciting really as I am looking to buy somewhere in the near future but at the moment I am saving so much money by holding back as the prices just keep dropping. Property Bee even tracks rental prices and they have been dropping in the area too.</p>
<p>I think we are in for an interesting 12 months!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I would write a quick article about my Web Hosting. For those of you new to hosting and looking for a company to host your website why not give <a href="http://www.bluehost.com/track/saveusmo/text1" target="_self">Bluehost.com</a> a try.<br />
I was recommended them last year after I told a friend my current package with another company was about to expire. After seeing the price and the services offered I just had to make the switch and I am so glad I did.<br />
There is 24/7 Live Support, unlimited storage, a bandwidth allowance that is impossible to exceed and a million other great features. I currently host 9 websites with Bluehost using 9 different domains and personally wouldn&#8217;t use another company.</p>
<p>If you are interested in reading more, check out their website by clicking the banner below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About 5 months ago I bought a domain name which I thought was an absolute steal! I picked it up after I had a brainwave (yes, I know what you are thinking)! My first intention was to get something on there so I created a blank WordPress canvas and personalised it a bit. I then added some content (about 2 pages with only a few lines) and then put some Adsense on there.</p>
<p>Every month the amount of visitors to the half empty website doubles in number with no work from myself. It is also earning from Adsense which is nice. I really think with a small effort I can start making a fair bit more from it but sadly I don&#8217;t have the time.</p>
<p>The site has had very little SEO done on it and already ranks amazingly well in Google and I believe that with a few days work I could make it into a valuable resource (as well as making a few quid)!</p>
<p>So you are probably all wondering what the site is? Well I am not going to say until it&#8217;s finished&#8230; which may be a while as I am very busy at the moment!</p>
<p>I will be announcing it the second it&#8217;s finished so if you <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/JamesMunday" target="_self">subscribe</a> to my RSS feed you will get notification <img src='http://www.jamesmunday.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t wrote any updates for a while so I thought I would quickly give you readers something to have a gander on.</p>
<p>I currently have no plans for this site, I did have but they have fallen apart thanks to the owner of Jamesmunday.com renewing the domain name on Monday <img src='http://www.jamesmunday.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
I was hoping they would let it drop so I could pick it up and maybe do something with the site but instead they have decided to renew it for another year and hold it to ransom (they want offers above $800 for it)! Why someone would do this when I could be using it is a bit stupid really!</p>
<p>Anyway, in other news the Kris Moyse website has taken off nicely thanks to Kris&#8217; increasing popularity! Kris has also just released an album which is available on iTunes, Napster, Amazon MP3 etc so check that out. He is also auctioning a &#8216;One of a Kind&#8217; album which he is going to sign and it is currently doing very well on eBay. A percentage of the money raised is going to his selected charity (the NSPCC). For those of you who don&#8217;t know who Kris Moyse is, please visit the website &#8211; <a href="http://www.krismoyse.com" target="_self">www.krismoyse.com</a></p>
<p>So thats about it really for the time being! I don&#8217;t really have any other projects in the pipeline. I still need to get around to putting my New Zealand photos on the site but I shall do that soon.</p>
<p>Take care all <img src='http://www.jamesmunday.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t posted this sort of thing before but I just thought I would show the stats of this website. As you can see February has been the busiest month so far:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.jamesmunday.net/pics/jmstatsapril.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<strong>JamesMunday.net Website Statistics</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">January was actually a very busy month but I changed web hosts half way through the month so the visitors for January should be a lot more.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-173"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Some of you may know that I run some other websites, one of which is the Official Kris Moyse Site. That has been doing very well lately thanks to Kris&#8217; popularity on YouTube. Here are the statistics for that site:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.jamesmunday.net/pics/kmstatsapril.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>KrisMoyse.com Website Statistics</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As you can April was the busiest month so far with 1449 unique visitors racking up 16341 page views! I expect the next few months to get even busier thanks to Kris&#8217; new videos!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That&#8217;s right folks. I have a game related domain name which I shall be giving away for free. This is going to be the first domain giveaway of many as I have a few I want to get rid of and don&#8217;t want the hassle of trying to sell them. To be in with a chance of getting this domain you have to do the following:</p>
<p><strong>Leave a comment on this post with your name, correct email address and a brief message why you think you should get it free.</strong></p>
<p>The domain (which I am not going to broadcast on here) is undeveloped and is in my opinion a quality domain name. Similar names have been sold on auction sites so you could easily make something from it. Please remember, you can only leave <strong>one</strong> comment.</p>
<p>The winner will be chosen at random 24 hours from now. The domain can only be transferred to a 123-reg.co.uk domain account (it is free to sign up anyway).</p>
<p>Also, feel free to subscribe to my RSS Feed for notification of other giveaways.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After nearly 2 months away I arrived back home today. The flight was fairly uneventful and unlike my flight out I sat next to nice people. From Auckland to Los Angeles I sat next to an ex-US Marine and from LA to London I sat next to a girl returning from her travels.</p>
<p>The flight was a long one and surprisingly I don&#8217;t have jet lag which is a bonus. I was greeted in Oxford by my mum and I have seen most of my family already today and will be seeing the rest on Wednesday.</p>
<p>I have just been looking through the photos and videos I have from my trip and there are hundreds. They will be on the website in the coming days after I have sorted things like my car etc (it hasn&#8217;t been moved for 2 months)!</p>
<p>Check back soon and the pictures and videos might be on here! <img src='http://www.jamesmunday.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
