Another Blogging Plugin-LinkWithin
Now that I’m not on a breakneck writing pace, I’ve got time to goof off a lot more. I noticed on Prerna and Kidgas’ blogs they had a neat little linking tool that linked to other posts within their blogs. I didn’t notice it at first, but as I continued to visit their blogs, I [...]
Toying Around with Plugins
I just found a cool little plugin to help me keep track of my monthly writing goals (checkout the progress bar on the right). I find that charting my progress works well for me. The only way I was able to maintain this month’s membership in the Double O Club was because I charted my [...]
Neat Little WordPress Plugin for Moving Comments
I quickly found yesterday, that I needed a plugin to help me take comments from one post and place them on another. It’s not that I’m changing the content of the comments, it’s just that I felt the comment would better serve the community (not to mention keep me on track), if the comments were [...]
How to Handle Some Comments
On occasion I receive comments with typos. On occasion I upload posts/articles with typos. It happens. When I catch a typo in my work or someone else’s work I either correct it or notify the author of the typo. I’d rather someone correct me than allow my work to stay forever incorrect on the internet. [...]
Things One of My Blogs Taught Me
I decided to truly analyze one of my blogs that started earning money from the first month of being on the web. That surprised me because it doesn’t get a lot of traffic. Since it consistently earns money each month, I decided to see what I had done differently on that blog that I had [...]
It’s All About Passion!
This is a quick post, but I wanted to give a shout out to Will Leon. Will is a passionate Tennessee Titans fan. Quite a while ago Will created a blog with googobs of great information on the Titans and its players but he let it go dormant for a while. Will recently revived his [...]
Do You Have a Sitemap?
If you have a website or a blog and you have not added your site map to Google Webmaster tools, you should take the time to do so. Back in the Stone Age when I first got online I barely knew what a sitemap was. I spent some time reading in various forums trying to [...]
Everything Old is New Again
My regular readers will notice something vaguely familiar about this WordPress theme. Yep, you guessed it, it’s the old WordPress theme with a few color changes (I’m still working on the color thing). It’s a long story, but here’s why the change… It’s All About the Sitemap This whole thing started because I was working [...]
Switching Blog Themes: Is it Worth It?
Here’s the scoop. It’s quite obvious that NJFM is undergoing a transformation. The reason for the change is several fold: The old theme stopped working behind the scenes. There were too many errors and the load was too slow. I wanted something lighter and airier and easier for me to handle. NJFM, although I love [...]
I’ll Probably Hate Myself in the Morning
Ok, I admit it. I’m releasing a half-baked blog interface. I was quite tired of the old blog interface and knew that I needed something different. I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for so I spent time visiting other blogs in an attempt to get some ideas for my new WordPress theme. I [...]
DoFollow vs NoFollow Backlinks
Crystal brought up a good question the other day and I didn’t have the answer. So I thought I’d do a little research, write about what I found and post it here. We both (Crystal and I) would love to hear your thoughts on DoFollow and NoFollow backlinks. Before I go into DoFollow and NoFollow [...]
I’ve Put it Off Long Enough
I’ve been putting off domain name transfers for the past 6 months or so. I just didn’t want to take the time to do the research and paperwork. Here’s my issue: My blogs and websites are hosted by Host Gator. I love their service and their up time. I’ve had very little issue with them [...]
Using WordPress Tags
This may sound real strange, but it was only very recently that I discovered the power of WordPress Tags. I’ve been using WordPress for a year and a half now and I’m still learning about it. Originally I was so totally overwhelmed that I did a happy dance when I was able to release a [...]
Monetizing a Blog with OIO Publisher Software
If you look on the right-hand side of this blog you see ads in little squares of 125 x 125. I’m able to display those ads because I purchased a software called OIO Publisher. It’s an ad management software. I came across the software because as I mentioned before I want to take this blog [...]
Into Each Life a Little Rain…
The past three days were a bit of an online challenge for me. A bored ne’er do well decided to test the security on my blogs. Apparently this person had a pretty good time inserting links for one of the well known male enhancement drugs (I hesitate to use such words on this blog for [...]
