Notice anything different?

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!First off, if you came here wanting to drop an EntreCard, you’ve probably noticed that the EntreCard widget has been removed. It has gotten very little use lately, largely because I barely can find time these days to maintain my […]

I can’t do two things at once!

Again, I suddenly realized that it’s been over a week since I posted anything here. Honestly, I’m not as derelict in my duties as it might seem. First off, I’ve been devoting more time to my other blog, One Man’s Focus. While I know people who don’t seem to have a problem keeping up with […]

A comment about comments

I like to think I’m reasonably fair when moderating comments. Generally, as long as it is a valid comment that tells me the commenter actually read the post, I’ll go ahead and approve it.
The names that appear on some of those comments occasionally make me laugh out loud. I understand the concept of using […]

Thank you, Schvenn

This is cool. I was thinking about getting some of those marketing pens with the name and URL of my blog printed on the side. I figured if I got myself about 50 of those and “accidentally” left them lying around different places I go, it might help my web traffic.
What I thought was cool […]

More EntreCard changes

I mentioned a few days ago that EntreCard had recently put in a change that limited all their users to dropping 600 cards per I.P. address per day. Well, the next day they put in another change. This one is really confusing some people. The old system was simple. The price someone paid to advertise […]

EntreCard policy changes

I joined EntreCard about 3 weeks ago because I was told it was a great way to improve your site’s traffic.
The short version for how it works is this: you visit other sites belonging to other EntreCard members. You drop your virtual ‘Card’ on the widget displayed on their site. You earn 1 credit for […]

Did you notice?

Did you notice the new widget (I love that word!) that appeared on my sidebar the other day?
I registered with Entrecard as a way of promoting this blog. Between that and StumbleUpon, my site traffic has grown by leaps and bounds.
Entrecard is really cool. You design a 125 x 125 image that is your […]

Please Don’t Feed The Trolls

On a message forum I’m watching right now there’s a big discussion getting started because someone approached a blogger and asked them to write a post advertising a jewelry site. Compensation for this ad was supposed to be a chance at winning a $1500 pair of earrings.
I can understand the blogger’s puzzlement as to how […]

Should I or shouldn’t I?

I’ve been debating about something. I recently heard about something called Blog365 2008. The idea is simple, actually. All that is required is (at least) one blog post every day of 2008.
The idea intimidates me just a little because, while I do a little work for companies who pay me to either write posts or […]
