In the previous tutorial Fantasy Football Projections I went over draft day and what players to look out for. That is just the beginning of the battle though in Fantasy Football.
If you are in a pay league and money is up for grabs, the only way you can win consistently is to have a plan.
In this tutorial I’ll provide you with a complete Fantasy Football Strategy. You’ll understand when to trade and how to plan for the playoffs all year long. I provide tons of stats on defensive schedules and numerous other stats.
I’ve received numerous requests to analyze Fantasy Football Projections. I’ve been playing Fantasy Football for 4 years and successfully make it to the Super Bowl 2/3rds of the time.
In this tutorial, I’ll take you through the process I follow when I create my projection or cheat sheet.
It basically comes down to combining and averaging out what all of the experts think. I then analyze that data to eliminate human bias.
If you recently installed Mac OSX Lion and now can’t start Web Sharing, or if you get a 403 Forbidden Message when you try to access your web server I have a fix.
The first thing you should do is to open the Console app. To do that click in the Spotlight Search box in the upper right hand corner. Type Console and then double click the application to open it.
In this article I’ll show you exactly how to Install WordPress on Mac. You need to follow the instructions I covered in this tutorial Install WordPress.
In this video tutorial I investigate how to fool people into believing you are psychic.
I started on this journey as a Psychic Detective back in college. I’ll show you how to fool someone into believing you have a psychic friend. It’s a great trick you can use to entertain people in clubs.
I’ll then show you how real psychics fool people into believing they can:
Recently I held a poll and asked what recipe would you like to see most. I was surprised that you chose Mushroom Risotto, but it was an excellent choice.
Mushroom Risotto is an amazing dish! It is extremely rich and filling.
The reason that it tastes unlike anything else is because Risotto, or Arborio rice is softer on the outside than on the inside. If you cook it properly, it will take on the flavor of the food that surrounds it.
I thought I’d have a bit of fun today and talk about a video game for once. Malcolm wrote in and asked me for a strategy to beat the Mud Slide level in Fieldrunners.
If you are unaware Fieldrunners is an iPhone / iPad game that many think to be the best game available. If you are one of my regular readers don’t worry. This website is not going to become a video game site anytime soon 🙂
While I’m not a great video game player I decided to give it a shot. It did take a few tries, but I finally beat the Mud Slide level. There is a screen shot that shows my layout at level 100. If you are having trouble seeing it, just click to enlarge it.
After I present the final screen shot, I’ll then go over how I laid this strategy out.
Mtsurov wrote in and asked How to Find a Domain Name, meaning a good one! In this article and video I’ll show you the exact steps to follow to find a great domain name no matter what your site is about.
Specifically I’ll show you how to find the best available name based on celebrity gossip, because that seems to be a favorite topic on the web. To find this wonderful domain name you just need a few free tools:
You can either watch the video, or read everything in detail after the video. You could also do both 🙂
First Steps to Find a Domain Name
The first thing I do when I want to start a new site is analyze which websites currently are getting the traffic I want. So since I’m looking to create a celebrity gossip site, I type celebrity gossip into Google. Here are the top sites for celebrity gossip:
celebrity-gossip.net : This is ranked first because of the great domain name
perezhilton.com
thehollywoodgossip.com
tmz.com
imnotobsessed.com
x17online.com
thesuperficial.com
hotmommagossip.com
eonline.com
Now that I have a list of my competitors, it is now time to find out what keywords they used to get to the top. This is where the Google Adwords Keyword Tool comes in. Just go to that site and enter the websites above one at a time. Here are the results if you entered perezhilton.com
This is an abbreviation of the results but I’ll explain what your looking at. This tool will analyze either keywords or websites. I always scan websites for their best keyword phrases and then dump all those into the keyword box to find the best.
Then you see all of the information found separated into columns. The first column is the keyword phrase itself. The competition column gives you an idea of how hard it would be for you to capture that keyword phrase for your site. You always want to go after phrases that have little to no competition. So in this example go after “latest gossip in hollywood” instead of “selena gomez stuff to buy”.
The other columns show you approximately how many times the phrase is searched for per month. Don’t look at these numbers as a fact, but instead just rate them based off of size comparison.
If you click on the competition title the list will display the phrases with the most competition and vice versa. What you need to do now is search for the phrases with the least competition and the most searches for every website. After I did that I came up with this list:
Phrase
Matches
Exact Matches

Above you can see the best phrases I was able to find from all of those websites. I then go and double check that they are accurate by typing the phrase into Google to see how many matches I get. I then search for the exact phrase by searching for the phrase surrounded by quotes.
Is the Domain Name Taken?
Now that I have my list I jump over to Go Daddy to see if the names are taken. Sadly my best domain name is taken being gossipinhollywood.com 🙁 But, guess what? Four of the best domain names are not taken being:
Last week I became a YouTube Partner and I received a bunch of requests on how I did it. SackettGraphics also asked me how I make my videos. I cover both of these topics in the video below.
I created a detailed formula on how to become successful vlogger in the article How to Video Blog. If you missed it? Almost everyone that is successful online copies from the first great vlogger named ZeFrank.
I while back I created my second most popular tutorial of all time on Illustrator CS5s new features. It’s available here by the way Illustrator CS5 Tutorial.
I received a request from Vera to demonstrate how to recreate her wedding invitations. So in the video below I show you how to use the pen tool, how to figure out what font is used in a graphic and a bunch of other things.
The website I use to analyze fonts is called What the Font. The two sites I use most to get free fonts include 1001 Fonts and Da Font.
I also show you how to turn a blurry Jpeg into an EPS file and review everything not covered in the other tutorials in this Illustrator CS5 tutorial.
Ever since I posted How to Find WikiLeaks, I’ve received many requests for the WikiLeaks Insurance File. I have the insurance file, but since it is encrypted you may prefer to download The WikiLeaks Site Archive. It contains all of the information currently available on the WikiLeaks site.
Here is a link to the file that doesn’t require a torrent client, but does require Java to be installed WikiLeaks Insurance File.
I was able to locate the WikiLeaks Insurance file at 3 torrent sites so far. Here are links to them:
I never put information like this on my site, but I thought it was important to do. Since many countries and corporations are trying to block access to WikiLeaks I’ll post updated links to their site here.
I’m also providing links to WikiLeaks information that is only available from torrent sites. I have a complete backup of the entire WikiLeaks site and plan to mirror it soon.
I’ve recently been hit with a ton of requests for tutorials. I want you all to know I received them and plan to do them as soon as possible, but I need help ranking them.
Below I’m listing all of the tutorials that you have been requesting. Who ever comments first will decide which tutorial I do next. If your second in line, your tutorial will go next and so on.
Because I’ve received so many requests for a Python 2.7 Tutorial, I will cover that next. Then I’ll move on to your other requests.
My wife’s first knitting video was a hit! So, here my wife continues teaching how to knit. Here is a link to the first tutorial How to Knit.
Specific knitting techniques covered include:
Purl Stitch
Stockinette Stitch
Rib Stitch
She is planning on creating a tutorial that will teach you how to make a Twitter Fail Whale. Leave any comments or suggestions on what you’d like to see in future tutorials.
Yesterday I wrote about the Study Methods I researched over the years. Since it seems to be of interest to many of you, I created a nice YouTube video on the subject.
These are the exact methods I followed while working 2 jobs (one out of state) through out my college career. I still use these methods to this day to create mountains of information for you.
I’ve received many requests to do a tutorial on study methods. So, in this article I’ll go over the core methods used by successful students. If you follow this study plan you’ll increase your comprehension with less effort.
I’ll also go over exactly how I’m able to create these long tutorials in just 2 hours a day.
Here is the overall break down of this study method article:
If this is the first time you’ve been on my site, this is what I do here. I except requests for how to articles and then I make them for you. Of course I get requests often that I can’t fulfill. The third most popular how to article / video that I get is to teach you How to Knit.
So, my wife (who has knit for many years) volunteered to handle this tutorial.
In the video below, she goes through the basics of knitting. The stitch she teaches you first is known as the Knit Stitch or Garter Stitch. She learned how to knit from the Stitch N’ Bitch books and wanted me to recommend them to you.
In the previous tutorial Fantasy Football Projections I went over draft day and what players to look out for. That is just the beginning of the battle though in Fantasy Football.
