Quality over Quantity!
2007-10-03 23:21:00 I’m blogging more and more infrequently nowadays. Mainly, as I’ve been too busy with other projects (Motor Vehicle Preservation Society of Ireland & The Impulse Blogger namely). I’ve also been busy with curricular activities, school and generally being too tired to put in the effort of researching content for posts! So instead of putting brain dead, ...

Just Plain Cruel!
2007-10-01 21:08:00 I blogged a while ago about a New PC on the cards for myself (because I’m worth it ), well obviously it would take a long time for me to come up with the money for one, and it would have to be prised from my clenched fist as the time to pay ... More About: Plain , Cruel
Domain Hoarding!
2007-09-30 23:00:00 Recently, I’ve been hoarding domains, through various sudden ideas, or it’s an opportunity not to be missed out on - although the 2nd was going cheap on eBay I don’t know for what reason I was possesed to buy these domains, I could have had an idea, bought the domain, and then forget ...

Misreading Alexa Badge
2007-09-29 00:40:00 I noticed this evening that my Alexa badge/button is misreading information, and is showing incorrect rankings, as it hasn’t corrected itself two days after the rank has been updated (it’s updated twice in the past week!) It’s a little bemusing why it hasn’t updated, I don’t know how it works and where it feeds from, ... More About: Badge
Should I keep income logs?
2007-09-27 23:28:00 I’ve been earning some ‘pocket change’ recently through the blog. My initial intention wasn’t to earn money, but to keep it as a blog - but earning money through the blog now-a-days is so easy! On average, I’m making atleast $25 per month from this blog, which isn’t much to the big time blogger, but to ... More About: Blogging , Income , Logs
Back to the old style!
2007-09-27 00:48:00 Busy postings tonight! I’ve decided to revert back to the old style for the time being, K2 was annoying me, due to it’s blandness - too box, plain and it was conflicting with my TLA plugin for some reason! So for the next couple of days, the blog will be sporting the old style until I can ... More About: Blogging , Style , Back , The O
Automatic Blog Pinging
2007-09-27 00:41:00 I’m still only getting to grips with all these blogging tricks of the trade, Pinging was a new one to me - and still is! Basically, it’s when a blogger (me!) creates a new post, a tool sends a signal to ‘Ping Servers’ which compile and generate lists of updated blog posts - which inturn ... More About: Blog , Automatic
We?re running on ?Dexter?
2007-09-25 21:51:00 We’re now up and running on ‘Dexter ’ or Wordpress 2.3 as it will be formally known! Remarkably, the upgrade was flawless and went very smooth and easy. Didn’t have any conflicting issues, and I didn’t lose all my widgets which was one of my fears as most I cannot remember - I made a backup of ... More About: Running , Web Development , Blogging
Some Improvements
2007-09-24 18:34:00 Firstly, like many bloggers, I’m eagerly anticipating the release of Wordpress 2.3 which is due later today - with that it should imensly improve all ratings for this blog. Not that it hasn’t been doing quite well as it stands now. Today the Alexa rank improved to: 1,929,875 - which isn’t bad going considering I’ve only ...

The PayPerPost Revolution
2007-09-20 00:45:00 I’ve finally given in, and began the ‘PayPerPost Revolution ‘, that is striking blogs all over the world wide web. To be honest, at first I thought that it was just another scheme - but after closer investigation, and many friends and associates recommending the service to me I’ve dramatically changed my opinion. I’ve witnessed, many people earning ... More About: Blogging , Payperpost

Stevo a blogger!
2007-09-17 16:58:00 Looks like our very own ‘Stephen Payne in the Arse’, a.k.a. ‘Rodders’ has become a blogger after hours of me nagging to him en-route to Cork and back… He could do with improving on the writing style and posting more frequently, but he’s getting there. Now my task is to keep him at it, as well ... More About: Blogger , Blogging

2007-09-17 16:51:00 I recieved an invite for this on Saturday night, and didn’t think much of it upon initial review. But now like most second tier bloggers, following the ‘big boys’ like sheep following a shepard we’re all starting to flaunt our new piece of Sidebar bling!

Journey - Don?t Stop Believing
2007-09-16 23:56:00 My favourite song at the moment is Don’t Stop Believing - by Journey . Not entirely sure for what reason though, it has a great tune and the lyrics are catchy. It’s a song you’ve heard before, and only remember it when you hear it on the radio or TV. It’s been backing music in loads of ... More About: Music , Tube , Bored

Alexa Ranks, and Improving them.
2007-09-15 22:23:00 I’ve only recently figured out what the Alexa rank was all about - basically, it ranks your website on the amount of visitors (whom use the Alexa Toolbar) that are visiting your site daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, and annually. It is essentially a very large toplist, people competing against each other for Alexa ranks, quite ... More About: Web Development , Blogging , Ranks , Improv
