Many schools today are considering cutting funds for fine arts departments in order to save money. Aspiring author Stephen Pitz believes that this is not a wise decision. As a former teacher, Stephen Pitz believes that arts and theatre programs are one of the most important parts of education. Students without classes like these would never realize valuable talent, says Stephen Pitz.

It is Sad news indeed. Bloggervenue.com is for sale on sitepoint!

I have been thinking about this in the past month. I no longer have the conditions to give the attention this blog reserves. I will soon start my career abroad as a nurse and i wouldn’t be able to update as i should.

So this is the main reason i decided to sell Bloggervenue. It is sad for me because i really like this blog, but no longer can maintain it. So i am hoping that a serious blogger take’s this opportunity to bring bloggervenue.com to the next level.

I put the auction on sitepoint with an initial bid of $100. All the necessary info is on the auction page.

The sale will last for 15 days.

If you are interested in bidding or have a friend that might be interested please lead him to this post or to the auction directly.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to get an established blog.

Visit the auction page.

Now that you have your Free €20 to explore the forex market i will show you how can you double the bonus in a few days.

We are not pros in forex, so we need all the help we can get to make money. So, why don’t we trust in the expertise of pros like CobraForex.

Cobra and his team developed a trading system that makes possible to noobs like you and me, to make some interesting pips in the forex show. It is called the THV system and it is the 3rd version of this successful trading system.

Chart using THV3 system:

It may seem complicated at first, but if you study the rules and trade on a demo account first then it will be really easy to trade this system.

So where can i get this system?

Im not gonna give you the download links here at the blog, instead i will direct you to the thread where CobraForex gives support to this system.

All you need is on the first post of the thread. But to download the necessary files you will need to register at the ForexFactory.com Forum. Don’t worry. It is completely free and if you are serious about forex this a forum you must attend (i’m there everyday).

Edit: It seems it is not required to register at this moment….

You will need to download:

V3.zip

Manual THV V3. pdf

Just follow the instructions and you will be Fine.

How to trade with the Free €20?

You will need to install the THV3 system on your Instaforex platform. Load the template and use the 1H time frame (or TF5 for short and quick earnings).

Then load the plus500 platform and watch the chart with the THV3 system loaded and wait for the buy/sell signals.

When you see a buy/sell signal immediately do what the chart say and open a position on the plus500 terminal and watch your trade make you some money!

If you follow the rules you will make money for sure. But be prepared to loose, this is a game and someone has to lose.

If you have any doubt feel free to ask me and i will help you the best i can.

Happy Pipping

As promised, today i will give you the opportunity to enter in the world of Forex trading with real money and completely for FREE!

Plus500 is offering €20 for new traders that are willing to trade live and don’t want to risk their own money. To get these €20 you don’t need to deposit money, they will be given to you after registration and a small request.

The only IF of this offer is that in order to cashout the money earned with these €20 you will need to make 50 trading points. You earn 1 trading point for each trade you open regardless if you win or loose. So basically you will repay them in spreads, which is ok with me . It is free money after all, and they would make money anyway if i deposited my own money.

Getting the free Money

1. Download the Plus500 trading software by CLICKING HERE

2. Click on ‘Real Money’

It is as simple as that. Don’t worry giving you phone number you won’t pay anything to receive the message.

This broker does not use Metatrader terminal, so in order for us to start trading we will have to use the InstaForex broker i mentioned yesterday. Don’t worry. I will show you how on the next post.

You don’t have nothing to loose, so do you dare to refuse €20 for free?

To enter into the Forex business you will need a broker. I tried some brokers but my choice always respects two important factors:

1- The trading platform used;

2- Spreads;

1 – Metatrader Platform

The first thing i see on a broker is if they have a version of Metatrader trading platform. It is by far the best trading application you can use in forex. It is simple to use yet powerful. It is the perfect platform for Expert Advisors and to add indicators that help us trading (more about these two things on another post).

2 – Spreads

Spreads are the profit margin of brokers. If a currency pair has a spread of 3 then it means when you open a trade you will see that your trade automatically starts in a loss, in this case 3 pips negative.

Insta Forex Broker

This is the broker we are going to use for the next posts, so i suggest you register with InstaForex.

Why do i choose this broker?

Simple, because it passed the 2 points mentioned above. It uses a MetaTrader Terminal, and the spreads are very acceptable. 3 pips for the majority of pairs that i usually trade, which is very good.

Registering with Instaforex

To register with instaforex you need to download the terminal first. It is a very simple process. There you will have to make a choice. If you want to open a Real Account or a Demo Account. I suggest that you start with the demo account first.

If you need help registering then visit this page with a step by step guide.

Feel free to explore the terminal, open charts, see how do you place trades, read the help section of the software if there is something confuse or just ask me.

Tomorrow i will show you how to get started in forex with real money completly for free!

It is getting harder to show you professional and good looking wordpress magazine themes. The Majority is widely advertised by bloggers. A brief google search for “Free wordpress magazine themes” will show you the usual suspects. Pages that you are tired of visiting and showing the same old magazine themes.

Fortunately from time to time there is a new free wordpress magazine theme release that is worth mentioning. Today i have only 3 but i assure they are top quality.

The first two are from one of my favourity designers (Web2feel.com). They present us with regular wordpress magazine themes. The themes “skeleton” is basically the same, but they make alterations that make them impressive.

1- Milano

A free magazine that suites all niches. It is designed to help you make money through ads.

Nice olive color scheme. Definitely a theme to take into consideration for your next project.

2 – Zherald

Another excellent realease by web2feel. Theis free wordpress magazine theme uses a white color scheme with some grey and olive. It has the usual image slider, featured post and video and optimized for ads like google adsense. Worth taking a look.

3 – Premium Entertainment theme

This theme is obviously not for all kind of blogs. If you plan or have a blog about celebrities/gossip/fashion/entertainment then this may be the right choice.

This is a premium free magazine style theme for wordpress. Comes with a variety of plugins all included in the pack, and it is adsense ready.

These are the one i think they deserved to be posted. There are a lot more magazine themes to show, but like i said, they are widely advertised by bloggers and i want to bring you original and fresh content

Google wants to buy one of the sites of the moment…. again!

Google wants to buy Twitter according to techcrunch.  The aquisition value is unknown but some say it is around 250 millions in money and in stocks.

A few months ago facebook tried to buy twitter for 500 million and failed… What reasons can google present to be able to buy twitter for half of that price?

So far, none of the parts involved have talked about it, but the potential of twitter to become the world’s best real time search database is reason enough for google to want that power.

I am not a fan of twitter. I only use it ocasionally, but i have to admit that twitter is a phenomenon.

But with google’s takeover on twitter (if it is consumated) what consequences will it represent?

Twitter users:

What do you feel about this?

As promised, i will talk a little bit about Forex Trading, a way to make money that i have recently “re-found my love about it“.

But before i drive you through the “ways” of Forex Trading, i think it is important for you to know what forex really involves, before you enter this world that represents trillions of dollars!

1. Forex Market is a 24/5 cash market where you can trade currency from several countries. You trade currency pairs like the EUR/USD pair;
2. Forex Brokers are needed to place buy/sell orders. There are a lot of brokers on the web, sadly as almost business , there are scammers or “gray” brokers. So before you go and invest money on a broker, you should read everything about them. I was lucky to choose 2 good brokers that are legit and serious;
3. Trading Live or Demo: after choosing the broker you have 2 options to trade. If you want to see how it works then a Demo account is recommend. Brokers offer you X amount of virtual $$ to trade, so that you can learn and train you tactics with no risk. If you are ready, then go live, but you need to invest your own money.
4. 90% of traders loose money: If you earn money on a trade this means that someone has lost. 90% of traders loose money indeed, even Forex Gurus loose money, but the difference between loosing big or not is proper money management and risk. The secret is to manage our losses and not your winnings;
5. Forex is not about luck, it is about probability and chart analisys. If we open a trade it is because we have analysed the chart and the indicators show that is a good buy/sell signal, no because we hope it will go the way we want;
6. Be ready to read a lot, because you need to know the forex terminology, how to read charts, find trading tactics. There is a lot to study and a lot of sites to visit and read. Remember: Information is power!
7. Be prepared to spend time in front of your computer: There are trades that usually take a few minutes to complete (this is called scalping) and there are trades that will take more time. If you are not watching a trade, then you will need to watch for buy/sell signals, and this can make you spend hours watching the charts;
8. Forex trading can make you quit your regular job: there are thousands of persons that trade forex for a living. But they really know what they are doing. They have spent time researching about forex, and they achieved this after some years generally, so having patience is a requirement;
9. And last and most important:
