How would you like to win a Nintendo Wii? I’d love to even buy one if I could find them in stores at all! It turns out that CellForCash will give you one if you win in the win a Wii Giveaway!
CellForCash takes old, unused cell phones and will give you cash in return. Depending on your cell phone, type and condition, you could earn more than $100. Why keep old cell phones that you will never use again, when you could sell your cell phone to CellForCash.
I hope if you have a cell phone or two, that you’ll consider checking out CellForCash because of how hazardous they may be to the environment and health. And we use cell phones? Please recycle your cell phone for free!
You may not realize it, but many of those old cell phones are valuable – some much more valuable than you may think. On the down side, all of them contain hazardous substances that can pose a threat to the environment and to public health if disposed of properly.
If your cell phone isn’t listed, there are other options. One option is donating and CellForCash partnered with CellPhone Bank. You can also trade it in at Replacement Phones.
Don’t forget to enter in the Giveaway for a chance to win a Nintendo Wii! It’s very easy. Answer a few questions and you’ll have an entry for the Giveaway. Good luck and recycle!

If you’re like me, you may have ended up with Incoming Links displaying links from Google’s Blog Search instead of from Technorati. You will know this because you might see different links than you did before, or even links from your own site. This happened after I upgraded to Wordpress 2.3 beta 3. If that’s not what caused it, then what did?
Anyway, I figured out how to fix it. I took the code from version 2.2 and put it in index-extra.php in the wp-admin folder.
UPDATE for WordPress 2.3:
Find this code:
$rss_feed = apply_filters( 'dashboard_incoming_links_feed', 'http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&scoring=d &ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss&partner=wordpress&q=link:' . trailingslashit( get_option('home') ) );
$more_link = apply_filters( 'dashboard_incoming_links_link', 'http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&scoring=d &partner=wordpress&q=link:' . trailingslashit( get_option('home') ) );
Replace it with:
$rss_feed = apply_filters( 'dashboard_incoming_links_feed', 'http://feeds.technorati.com/cosmos/rss/?url=' . trailingslashit( get_option('home') ) );
$more_link = apply_filters( 'dashboard_incoming_links_link', 'http://www.technorati.com/search/' . trailingslashit( get_option('home') ) );
I have removed the code I had up for the beta version of WordPress. Just replacing the links for $rss_feed and $more_link should be enough, as shown above.
Why this was all changed, I don’t know, except that I wanted my Technorati Incoming Links back! I hope this helps anyone else who prefers Technorati over Google’s Blog Search.
I’m sure many of you will notice the different Google ads in the header. I decided to go with Google’s link unit instead of the larger text ads, because I wanted to move the content up.
The larger ads didn’t look that great there anyway. I usually don’t receive that many clicks in the header. So, I’m using the link unit as a test to see if maybe visitors are more likely to click on keywords related to content here, rather than a full ad.
If any of you think it looks worse than the larger ads or even better, please let me know by leaving a comment. Also, if you have any suggestions for making the link unit more appealing to visitors, that would be great!
