2008 has been a progressive year for me. It’s not so much productive as I planned it to be, but it was okay. The year went by too quickly for me. Nothing went my way, save a few. I was able to accomplish a few goals and postponed many. I’ve managed to be more literate in my writings. I found my niche in the pursuit of wisdom. I found my mentor, my medium.
I hope the next year would be beneficial to me.
Yesterday, Wordpress released version 2.7. It’s a point upgrade which means there are significant changes that could affect my plugins and themes. I’m not that impulsive as to upgrading software version, so I ran an upgrade on my test site. It’s close to identical to this “production” site of course so that I can properly troubleshoot if any. I was satisfied with the test, so I decided late last night to upgrade. This is my first post…
The new admin panel looks more like MovableType. Hmmmm. This release is AJAX overload :)
I feel like publishing something without thinking about the content. For those who are anxious to see the photos of the trip, it won’t be long ’til I post them. I’m in the process of writing a long report of the trip which is still in drafts. It’s about 35% done and I’m in the middle of finishing a film review which I should be posting tomorrow. I hope to publish the long one by weekend.
Hmmm… I really don’t want to go back to work, but I need to earn, eh? I have a huge project coming my way, it’ll be fun. I need to purchase a new mailserver and I think I’m getting a thin one this time.
My weekend is starting early this week. I’m off this Friday. I’ll be sleeping all day and go see Nick Cage’s latest blockbuster. Tonight I updated my collections again after receiving my latest acquisitions. Slight cosmetic modfication on the site are apparent in that page. If you’re not attentive enough on this site, then it’s the image caption. I’ve never used image captions before because they weren’t formatted properly, but tonight I had the fortitude to add the format in here. I’ve been using Chrome and I notice that some formats aren’t working properly. I’ll be working on it little by little.
I’ve been reading blogs lately and I realized that I used to “want” to write in Filipino, but now I don’t want to pursue that. It’s too difficult to read Filipino and I’m not amused by it especially if the piece is written informally. I’ll keep writing in English instead and improve my style.
Ciao!
My hyperlinks are becoming longer, so I had them categorized once again hoping to organize them according to their corresponding niche. As a result, I was able to divide them into four groups. I have the ASSOCIATED WEB STOP which are the sites (not necessarily blogs) of people I personally know. Then comes the BLOGROLL which contains blogs of people I don’t personally know, but I have keen interest on their topics. SHIRT SHOP is where worthy t-shirt online stores are found and lastly the MISCELLANEOUS HYPERLINKS that carry any kind of web site that does not belong in the other three.
Right, so I hardly do this kind of things. I’m out of topic, so I guess I’ll report my earnings for this blog. The site is not well optimized, so the numbers are very low. I only average $100/month and with the traffic I’m getting, I should be able to at least double that, but I’m not going to submerge my content with advertising. I’m a bit slow last July and this month which I think was caused by the lack of subject in my entries and the change in theme. When I switched back to Blix, my average $3/day earning returned. So without further adeu…
