Blog Author

Hello and thanks for visiting my site.

My name is Tony Grijalva Jr. I live in West Texas with my wife, two daughters, and cat. I’m a full time father, college graduate student, and employee. My interests include spending time with my family, being involved with the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, and attempting to live a drama-free life. Some of my hobbies include working on my websites, which means tinkering with .CSS, .PHP, and Wordpress, reading books about philosophy, psychology, and religion, figuring out how to earn money from the internet, playing on my Xbox 360, and tinkering with my iPhone.

Shop Network

I believe that this website, the Shop Network, attempts to satisfy a number of my hobbies and interests. Sections of this blog reflect the diversity of my likes, interests, and hobbies. At times, I’ll write about what I’m feeling or what I’m thinking, or I’ll attempt to tell a story. In other words, I use blogging as a form of personal expression. Evidence of this expression can be found in the Eclectic Category.

Another major interest and personal motivator of mine is figuring out how to make more money from the internet. I feel that having more money would be both liberating and empowering in that it helps me to take care of my family. While working 40+ hours per week succeeds in providing me and my family with a comfortable life style, I would like to be able to take family vacations, family trips, and pay off debt sooner rather than later. For this reason, there are several categories dedicated to the general topic of wealth accumulation on this blog. Check out my Product Reviews, and take a look at the Shopping Sites that I manage.

Amazon RSS in Wordpress

I have invested over $500 in personal money in order to have a Wordpress plugin created. This plugin is known as Amazon RSS in Wordpress. Using the plugin allows both you and I to make real money from Amazon. All that needs to be done is to find a product RSS feed from Amazon that matches a blog’s content, and the plugin does the rest. I have created a YouTube channel that demonstrates how easy it is to make money from Amazon, and I have created a support forum for this plugin. Even though the Amazon RSS in Wordpress plugin is GPL compliant, I’m asking that you show your support for it by not altering its code.

Site information

The Shop Network makes use of the very popular thesis theme from DIYThemes. The present owner of Blogussion, a blog dedicated to helping fellow bloggers through providing useful articles, code, and tips, collaborated with me in order to come up with the design and color scheme being used.

WP Plugins

There’s a lot more than Wordpress running here. I would like to say “Thank You” and I would like to acknowledge all of the dedication and hard work that goes into creating and sustaining Wordpress plugins. The best way for me to acknowledge the efforts to other people is to mention which plugins help tie the Shop Network together.
