Technorati Fave Exchange (Update and Warning)

A note for all of those participating in the Technorati Favorite Exchange: Check your spam plugin. I have just looked at mine, and found 6 messages from various people who have given a favorite to my blog, but for some reason Akismet decided that they were spam.
It always pays to check the spam folder, especially […]

I am still here

I know I have not posted in a long time, but I promise that I will catch up soon.
Unfortunately, the demands of my day-job where a bit too much for me lately, but things have calmed down now. I really need to get to a point where I make a full time income just […]

Testing Performancing for FireFox

Well, I have just installed ScribeFire, so here is my post to test it.
For those of you that have not heard of it, ScribeFire is a blogging editor Add-on for Firefox. It was originally known as Performancing for Firefox, but it has recently changed its name (even if they did forget to change some of […]

Back to the Old Theme

The more attentive readers have noticed that I changed themes a couple of weeks ago, in an effort to raise my adsense earnings.
It did not work, they stayed steadily at $0.00, so I have reverted to the old theme, which looks a lot better. I might take the adsense off, and use the screen real […]

The ZList

Well, I have also decided to jump on the ZList bandwagon.
For those of you wondering how it works:
The idea is to promote lesser known blogs (this one definitely fits the description), and anybody I included on this llist might decide to make a link back to me, as well as anybody who gets the Z-List […]

Passive Income

There is a lot of talk in the blogosphere about passive income, with Belle, Dave Carlson
and Darren Rowse all writing about the idea. They seem to agree that while passive income is possible, blogging is not a good way to do it.
Ruben, in another article, claims that it is possible to have  a blog that […]

New Theme

Well, I have switched to a new theme. The main reason for that was that my adsense ads were getting no clickthroughs, so I have decided to try a different theme, this one specifically designed for adsense. So, now I am using the SEO Adsense Wordpress Theme from Plikster. It should preform better in that […]

Link Previews, and How to use them Correctly

I found an article on Lorelle on Wordpress about the impact of plugins/features that hover a preview for a link when the user does a mouseover on it, specifically reffering to Snap Preview.
I have to say that I find Snap Preview especially annoying, since I live in a country which often gives me bandwidth problems, […]

Sponsored Posts

Well, the more observant among you would have noticed the previous post.
Yes, I have decided to start writing sponsored posts, so far the only network I have signed up with is blogsvertise, although I am looking into a couple of others… I think this blog might be a bit too green around the gills […]

MyBlogLog

I have recently joined MyBlogLog, a community of bloggers. So far, a couple of people have contacted me as a result of that, so it is going well.
They also have a cool widget which will display the visitors to my blog, but my current theme does not support widgets, so I will add it in […]
