Hey, seems you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Whatever it is, I’d like to know, leave a comment! :)
I’ve been working on that for a couple of days now, reading everything I could find about building a wordpress theme (I’m really used to customizing a theme, but building a new one is something I never really attempted before). So I finally decided to do it. The theme is not ready yet, it will be available real soon though. [Read more →]
Lists are extremely popular among bloggers, not only because of the links you can get from being on those lists, but also because you can discover new sites you would’ve never heard of otherwise. Many of the blogs on this list I read regularly, but I found a lot of new blogs also.
I’m a sucker for everything that has to do with personal development. So I had to join this project :)
I’m not a big fan of lists though, in fact I asked to have my blogs removed from a couple of lists that were floating around the blogosphere, but this is a list I’m particularily proud to be on.
My blogs are not necessarily about personal development, but I guess they fit on the list.
This was started by Priscilla Palmer, and already the list is quite long. Feel free to add to the list if you feel your blog or a blog you know would fit on there.
Here it is: [Read more →]
For those of you who haven’t seen this video yet, here it is. ;)
Those folks made a video of a fake corporate meeting, but with a “blogging turned bad” twist (can you spot the trolls?)
Lookout for spam around the end, CAPTCHA is pretty effective I guess.
“when things turn bad in a comment section” - Video not suitable for everyone.
I’ve seen worse comments than the ones in the video on some posts on Digg. ;)
Writers get writer’s block, and bloggers get blogger’s block.
But what if you do have a lot of ideas, and know what you want to write about, but don’t have time? Can you still run a blog and update it, say, 5 times a week?
Sure you can.
I find that my best posts (the ones that got the most traffic and comments) were written when I was in a rush, as in “I have to leave the house in 20 minutes, gotta write something“.
Often when you start by writing the headline, it’s easier to write the post (works for me). So, choose a topic related to your niche, write a headline (doesn’t have to be perfect yet), then write around 5 sub-headlines, so it’ll be easier to write the whole post. [Read more →]
Brian Gardner recently released a new wordpress theme called Revolution, which looks really really promising.
The reason I’m writing about this, is because it’s not a free wordpress theme (and no, this is not a sponsored review).
Many of you reading my blog are bloggers and web designers, so look at it this way:
You create wordpress themes, people download your themes for free, and since you put your link in the footer, you get tons of incoming links (kinda), but you make no money. So, of course, many bloggers are offering people to sponsor their themes. Which helps those designers make some money. Some agree with this, some don’t. [Read more →]
Some time ago Tony at BlogCatalog announced a new “blogging challenge“, blogging against abuse, any kind of abuse. This will take place on September 27th. You can read about it on the official BlogCatalog Blog and on the Discussion Board.
The goal is to get as many bloggers as possible to post about “abuse” on the same day, and if some feel charitable, give some money to organizations (you choose which ones). Simply a nice way to “give back“. Anyone can enter this challenge, just have to post about it on September 27th, if you’re a member of BlogCatalog, check out the discussion board. [Read more →]
As you can see I changed the design (again) on SmartWealthyRich. Yesterday I put a new design up, but, ya know, you have to listen to your people, so I decided to make some changes.
I know Snoskred was a big fan of the green arrow I had in the logo before, so I decided to put the arrow back, not green, but it’s there ;)
Rob thought the big “seal” in the logo was a little overwhelming, and looking back I have to agree, so that is gone!
Baloot said the text in the header was a little hard to read, I think it’s fixed now! [Read more →]
Since my first post on this blog, a lot of things have changed, especially when talking design, I’ve had 4 or 5 designs, but none of them I found were cool enough. So once again, back to the drawing board.
I have a feeling I will stick to that new design for a while :)
If you’re reading through RSS, please come have a look!
My last 2 designs were built on the Cutline theme (Chris Pearson), and the ones before that were based on the K2 theme. [Read more →]
About 2 weeks ago, Scot from Meridian Crest sent me an invite to a (relatively) new service called 8apps.
How do you get all those beta invites Scot? :)
Leave a comment on my review post on FreelanceFolder, or drop me an e-mail, or leave a comment on here, and I’ll send an invite your way.
