Anyway, I finally got a new iPod nano 6G.  Totally free, and no gimmicks or hoops to jump through.  Yep, that’s right.  Free.

How did I do this, might you ask?  Simple.  I got it with points earned on my rewards credit card.

See, bank debit cards are a scam.  Sure, they might have a Visa or MasterCard logo on them, and you can use them just like an ordinary credit card, but what your bank won’t tell you, is that they are making money on YOU every time you use your bank debit card.

Why let your bank make money on you, when you can reap the benefits yourself?

I use my rewards credit card for all of my essential life expenses; food, gas, tolls, cable bill, cell phone bill, car repairs, etc.

Instead of using my bank debit card for these purchases, I use my rewards credit card.  I also set up frequent, automatic online bill payments from my checking account to my rewards credit card account, so I know that my bill is always paid off every month, and so I am not spending more than I have available.

The rewards points add up fast, and I am putting my life purchases to work for me; to get me a little extra purchasing power in my life.

I recently reserved 2 seats on a SAS Transportation shuttle from the FLL Airport to a departing cruise at the Port of Miami. My flight into FLL, on an airline which shall remain unnamed, was delayed at take-off for over 2-1/2 hours with mechanical problems. The generous time cushion which I programmed into the connection between FLL airport and the Port of Miami quickly evaporated.

I kept Steven informed about each flight delay, and he assured me that a shuttle would be waiting at the airport at baggage claim, and we would make our connection onto the cruise ship.

My luggage did not emerge from the baggage carousel until 45 minutes before the cruise ship was ready to depart, but Steven was true to his word, and a shuttle was immediately waiting in the baggage area to whisk us to the Port of Miami without delay.

Thanks to the knowledgeable SAS driver who knew the most direct way to get us to the cruise terminal, the I-95 Express Lanes, and the wonderful Carnival cruise line gate representatives who called us to inquire our ETA to the terminal, we were able to get to the cruise ship in the nick of time.

I highly recommend SAS Transportation and would book shuttle service with them again without hesitation. You can read other positive reviews of SAS Transportation here at the following links:

First, you need to install WordPress 3.0.4 and get it running. Then follow this document to the letter, which will set up your network of sites: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network.

It is very important that you set up a SUBDOMAIN network install and NOT a SUBDIRECTORY network install!

Next step is to install Donncha’s domain mapping plugin. The current version of the plugin is 0.5.3. Otto has an excellent post detailing the steps required to map the subdomains to the actual domain names you wish to use. You can view Otto’s post at http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/

I had a little trouble getting the domain mapping going the first time, and posted this thread back in June: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-multisite-installs-on-single-ip. With many thanks to Andrea_r and Ipstenu, I was able to configure Apache and get my domain mapped network up and running.

You can also mix domains and subdomains on a single network multisite domain mapped installation; i.e. example123.com, example456.com, and blog.example789.com. Check out this thread on how to accomplish this task: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/30-multisite-domain-mapping-and-subdomains

Once again, many, many thanks to Donncha, Andrea_r, Otto, and Ipstenu! Please feel free to comment and add anything which I may have left out.
