Our new design is now live! It’s a bit more functional than the previous design and the addition of the video section is nice for those lazy days when one needs to kill some time. In the future, it’s definitely a nice section to place videos created specifically for the blog but for now we’ll have some fun with it. Please note that while the design is live, it isn’t fully operational. There will be a few bugs here and there and some of the color scheme will be changing slightly for ease of readability and such. In time, I’m hoping to have a real professional come in and tailor the site to my exact needs, but for now I think this’ll get us by. Any comments, suggestions, questions, etc. are always welcome so feel free to contact me via this thread or the contact page. Have a great evening!

Blog Income and Traffic – March 2008
Another month in the books, another income report. While I’m looking to remain stable, I’d of course like to see income growth. Let’s see the numbers.

April Birthday Bash – Here’s Your Gift!
My birthday’s coming up in about a month, and besides a planned Wii party (I know, I might be too old for it, but they’re fun!), why not celebrate in cyberspace? Now, before you say anything, yes, this is a small blog. With that said, instead of you folks giving me gifts (I’m accepting shares of JMBA if anyone’s interested… hah!), I’d prefer to give back. What better way than to offer free blog reviews? Here’s the deal. Leave me a message in this thread or under the Contact Us page with your blog’s title and link. Each week I’ll try and review 2-3 blogs. That’s it! No catch, no request for links. Nada, zip, zilch. So what are you waiting for? You only have until April 17th to enter.
Good luck this week. Looks as if we’re opening up choppy this morning but with these markets you honestly never know anymore.

Blog Income – February 2008
It’s amazing how quickly the traffic dies down when you’re on vacation! In any event, here’s a recap of the blog’s income for February:
- TLA Links: $34.10
- PayPerPost: $22.00
- ReviewMe: $5.00
- TNX Links: $68.80
- Private Sales: $188.75
- Advertising Expenses: ($9.30)
- Total for February 2008: $309.35
- Total for January 2008: $178.36
- % Increase/Decrease: 73.4%
Private advertising really does appear to be the way to go nowadays. It’s very easy to understand how some of the more mainstream bloggers such as Chow and Problogger do so well. I’m currently expecting Adsense to finally hit the $100 after about a year’s worth of having them onboard but once that check arrives, I’ll be looking to replace Adsense with other advertising blocks. But for now, I’m very pleased with the way things have progressed, monetarily, on this blog. As for content, well, that’s a different story. With the wedding finally over, it’s time to reload and get things in the correct gear.
