Interesting Today.com Dilemma

I received email notification today of a comment to one of my posts on my old Today.com blog (in case you didn’t read my earlier post, Today.com fired me). Since I no longer blog for Today.com, I’d prefer not to be notified of comments to posts that I can neither approve nor reject.

Using Google Analytics

I’m sooo confused.
Some time ago I added Google Analytics code on a few of my sites to get a better feel statistically on how they’re actually doing.  Being the statistic watcher that I am, I thought “What the heck.  It couldn’t hurt.”  Well, no I don’t think it hurts, but it does confuse.
There is so [...]

Brand Your Blog with a Favicon

Favicons are those cute little icons that are displayed next to a webpage’s URL, bookmark or internet browser tab. It helps you to brand your website or blog. After all, most folks are familiar with the white B with the orange background. I don’t even have to mention the owner of the favicon, [...]

Infolinks Inline Text Ads

Thanks to Bruno’s comment on my  AdBrite vs. Kontera Update post, I signed up to become an Infolinks publisher on May 4th and was notified that my site was approved on May 5th.
The integration of the code was quick and easy.  They call it the 1 minute installation and I think they overestimated the time [...]

My Final Story with Today.com

I thought I’d share a few emails I received and sent to Today.com after they closed my account.  The emails are pretty much self explanatory:
My email to Today:
Since you have disabled my account, kindly remove all of my content from
your site or continue paying me the latest going rate.
Thank you,
Felicia Williams

Today’s Response:
You were paid for [...]

My 200th Post

This is my 200th blog post and it saddens me that the topic couldn’t be something more inspiring or thought provoking.  Instead it has to be about spam and CAPTCHA.
Some time ago I wrote a post  about CAPTCHA boxes and how annoying I found them to be.  Unfortunately, because No Job for Mom has been [...]

The Dreaded WordPress Upgrade

Ever since I started this blog a year ago, I’ve been using the same word press version of software. (I think).  I can’t even tell you which version it is because I don’t know where to look for it.  I might have upgraded it once when it was an easy automatic upgrade but when WordPress [...]

Making Money by Mimicking Success

The other day I caught part of the Oprah show. We were visiting relatives in North Carolina and the kids were a bit rambunctious so I couldn’t quite catch all of it, but the one part I did manage to see was the segment about a stay at home mom blogger who earns $40,000 [...]

Earn, Test and Earn with eHow

When I signed up to write for eHow I knew that I would eventually earn money.  However, the longer I write for eHow, the more valuable it becomes.  Not in the dollar and cents type of value, but a pre-testing the market type of value.
Topic Variety
The good thing about it is that with a little [...]
