Blog Updates And Announcements

Posted on October 06, 2009 by Melvin

September was a pretty good month for me because that was the month that I didn’t have to wake up early and sleep early to prepare for stupid internships. I was able to take the much needed rest and relaxation while also being productive doing what I want and what I need. It was good also because I was able to raise enough money to support myself and my expenses without needing to annoy my parents asking for allowance.

Anyways for this version of blog updates here are some of the more notable happenings and changes to the blog.

  • Pagination Problems Resolved
  • No theme change up to the end of the year
  • WWSGD plugin removed
  • Guest Posting galores on some blogs
  • Loyal Commenters Awarded.

So first is the pagination thing. You can now look at the footer part and click the next page or paged number as its completely working well now. I have also decided not to change the blog’s theme up to the end of the year at least! You can remember me posting an article asking you on whether to change the theme or not and the final decision is not yet. Meanwhile the popular WWSGD plugin w/c analyzes cookies and sends out different message for different visitor has been removed. I really love the plugin but since it’s hurting my search rankings, I have decided to pull it off. Credits to Mihaela. I’ve also guest posted on some of the blogs and well most of my guest posts are still not up. Hmm. Lastly all the the people on the top commentator’s list were rewarded with free advertising for a month. These are bloggers who kept on reading and commenting on my posts despite the atrocity of it. :D

Announcement

greatdeals

The major announcement that I am going to make is the  launch of Great Deals in the near future. Great Deals is eventually just a part of the site (a page actually) where you can see offers you’ve never really seen before. OIO Publisher for $27? How about the Ultimate Blogging Theme for just $47? Most offers are UNBELIEVABLE and those things mentioned are just preludes. Yeah, you’re not gonna believe it. :D

And yes, suggestions, criticisms, opinions, advice is always entertained. If you have something to say which you think can really improve it would be highly ridiculed appreciated.

      I didn’t know that plug in hurts your rankings, how does that effect it? I’m curious as I use that plugin as well.

      I’m curious about “Melvin’s Great Deals” as well, I’ll keep an eye out for that one.

      oops sorry, I didn’t see the link there about the plug in. Do you know if there is a way to check if it’s effecting the blog? I have it placed under the content though.

      hey man, the wwsgd plugin doesn’t harm when you place it under content. But imho it doesn’t look good when placed under. ;-)

      Rewarding commentators is a good thing. I remember your post “Do You Appreciate Your Readers?” and you are doing just that. It’s a great thing that you follow what you say.

      Great deals as a site? Sounds interesting! Let me know if I can help you with it.

      Sometimes Melvin it can be a good idea to put things off so as to consolidate your opinion and views of certain things. That being the case I see no harm if putting off installing a new theme until a later date.
