New Template Theme

Those used to visit this blog probably have noticed that I changed the template theme. This was something I was willing to do for a long time but I wasn’t able to find the right template. I really don’t know if this is my final choice but for now I will keep this PassionDuo WordPress Theme.

I kept the Green color because I always associate Green with “Have a Better Life” therefore I feel Green is the right color to be on this blog.

There are a few changes that still need to be done to some widgets and banners so if something isn’t working properly it will be in a few days. I appreciate some feedback if you are not visualizing the blog properly.

We all go shopping and usually we want new articles to test them in first hand. But crisis is all over the place and buying second hand articles are becoming a popular option for those looking for cheaper products.

If you are looking for computers, routers, voip phones or hardware you know how much they cost when we buy them new. However there are a lot of people that replace their equipments for new and more sophisticated models although the models they have are in good conditions. Where are those used products going? Garbage? I don’t think so, they can be reused by others.

Sapia Networks is a company that besides selling new equipments they also sell used cisco, juniper, foundry and other brands. They refurbish the equipments, test them and sell them at very attractive prices and warranty conditions. This is an excellent alternative for those looking for this type of equipments.

We can save a lot of money and help the environment by buying used products.
