Going Down Under: How You Can Get Cheap Hotel Rates

Clockwise: Logan City Motor Inn Brisbane;
Rydges Hotel North Sydney;

Oakford Gordon Towers Melbourne

If you happened to plan an itinerary to Australia that covers the major cities, you need to plan ahead especially if you're looking for budget rates at hotels in Brisbane, hotels in Sydney, and hotels in Melbourne.

Smart travellers who would like to make sense of their travel budget can always check out travel and tourism websites for the right information before they fly off to their destinations.

Cheaperthanhotels.com.au is one such site that have the information if you're looking for cheap accomodation in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. I helped a friend from overseas who was making a business cum holiday trip to Down Under recently by checking out the information on this site. It was a breeze gathering the information.

They offer advance discount contract rates, so you save money and secure your hotel reservations. Well, this friend should be able to spend some quality time viewing the Great Barrier Reef while in Brisbane, check out the famous Opera House in Sydney and discover eclectic boutiques in Mebourne if he's the adventurous type.

Lowdown On My 'Monkey Business'

If you have been noticing some funny goings-on over at my MyBlogLog's home page for CommonSense With Markk, please keep your cool.

I've been asked why some of my postings kept on repeating themselves under the Lastest Content column for RSS feed.

For example, you can see that my latest post "Rumblings About Guest Blogging" is showing up three times, and the posting before it, "It's The Year of Blog Re-Design!," is giving you double vision!

Okay, let's cut down to the chase. Here's the lowdown.

Firstly, let us understand that I'm not spamming my ownself or anyone for that matter. I'm sure you have seen worst in the MyBlogLog message column.

The heart of the matter is this: I've been making or rather re-configuring my blog's RSS feed and re-jigging a number of other things that relate to this site. I've moved from Blog.spot to my own domain name.

I must admit I'm not a technical genius like some of you clever bloggers. So I'm not sure whether I've done right or wrong in my tweaking. I pray everything will turn out hunky dory though.

I've also gone nutty with my tweaking at my secondary blog The NextPost. Talk about itchy fingers and all that!

Why all this sudden monkey business? Preparing for Blogging Armageddon?

Don't panic! The reason: I'm preparing my blogs before the Google PageRank hurricane hits. It's good that there's still no sign of it yet. But better make hay while the sun shines!

And just a little hint: I've been busy trying to set up a couple of blogs over at everybody's favorite haunt - WordPress. Talk about some bloggers leaning solely on WordPress and others banking their hopes on Bloggers.

I'm all for both - 50% here, 50% there. And never the twine shall meet. But that's another blogging tale to tell next time around.
