BlueHost = Awesome

Bluehost hosting

I’ve been hosting with BlueHost for sometime now and I have to say they are great. Usually when you sign up for “unlimited” hosting the servers are slow and customer service is bad due to the amount of customers. Wordpress is usually always loads slow on large shared hosts, but this is not the case with BlueHost. All of my WordPress sites load very quickly and I’ve never experienced downtime as of yet.

I currently have 25gb of files hosted and climbing. Really nice to know the space and bandwidth is unlimited. You should really consider the switch, I would recommend it. Great price, great reliability, and you can’t beat the features!

A few ways to create website thumbnails

Occasionally, it’s nice to create a quick thumbnail of a website. I have recently discovered thumbalizr. This is a thumbnail service that gives you plenty of options with size after it has generated your image.

I have also run into a screenshot service that can be helpful for quick thumbnails as well. BrowsrCamp creates mac screenshots for design compatibility. They are nice screenshots and you can specify size as well. I use the thumbnail it generates as a preview when I only need a smaller thumbnail.
