Blog Updates & Some Ramblings

by Melvin · Jul 31, 2009

Answers to q & a would be on the next post. ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s been pretty obvious that the internship has affected the way I manage all my online business, including this blog of course. If you would take a sneak at the Archives page you would see that the post count has dropped from the usual 12-13 posts per month to 5 posts per month (June & July). I have also put all my other online projects in hiatus to give way to the stressing internship. And to be honest, I actually haven’t figured out yet the right ‘time management’ for it.

Anyways back here in the blog, it seems that I have already fixed most of the flaws in the theme template. As you may notice, the pagination/paging of the blog located at the footer is now doing well. I would like to make mention of Mr.Bhavesh of CSSACE who responded to me professionally despite my fuming anger. ๐Ÿ˜‰ He supported me all throughout the process and it was really helpful to me. The only problem right now is that I lost the advertisers ads at the sidebar (2 banners, 3 text links) due to my carelessness. I am trying to look for those advertisers contact but just can’t seem to find it.

Lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude to the Market Leverage family, specifically for Dina Riccobono. If you would remember, last January I won a contest sponsored by Market Leverage. The ML family sent me an Ipod w/c never reached me until now. Dina and I were negotiating about the possible substitute and last solution was the paypal payment (w/c has always been my last option). Like Bhavesh, Dina handled my emails very well (and in a very friendly manner). ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m not sure if other Affiliate companies would do the same in that situation. Thanks guys!

    Oh cool! I didn’t know you won a contest at Marketing Leverage, and it’s an iPod! It didn’t reach you? That’s sad. But I guess it was very kind of ML to give another option to claim the prize at stake.

    The internship? SO that was the “work” you mentioned at Twitter. Well, good luck to that. Yeah, I guess you should give priority to that too. It’s understandable, you need to ace the work to get good recommendations later on.

    Work can really kill at times. Due to my college starting I too have been spending very little time online. There have been days when I have not even tweeted! (Which sounds soo impossible for me)

    Anyways, good luck with the internship Melvin!

    Melvin- You are so very welcome. Sorry about the delay, hopefully that iPod turns up eventually. We’ll be working on more contests soon, keep an eye out!

    We as bloggers always come to a bridge where posting is less than previous months and we all accept that sometime we are busy. It’s normal and you should not be worried about it.

    Congrats on winning, it’s nice to win something now and then. Sounds funny that it took so long, but at least they never forgot you.

    yep you’re right. In internship I lose money, in doing internt marketing i make money, yet I have to give more time to internship as it would pretty much determine my future.
