Okay, so I went my full 30 days, and even a little more. By the end of it I was updating 9 blogs a day too! Pretty crazy… but I gotta end the blogging experiment here… It’s taking way too much of my time, and I really need to get the Bible animated site working. This is officially saying good bye to the blogging challenge… for now. Next year I’d like to do a 90 day blogging challenge for the last quarter of the year where I do keep up to date with all 9 of the blogs I was rolling with this time! The amount of linking that would happen might just blow even my mind The results of this 30 day challenge were nice, but nothing mind blowing. I made a few hundred dollars, and that’s good for now, it’ll get me where I need to be.
Okay, got a LOT done today! But when it comes to blogging… yeah, don’t plan to get a whole lot done in that arena So I did get all the blogrolls updated! That’s always good And we did get Connor to the play place for a little over an hour of playing, running, sliding, and social interaction with other small chillens… For blogging though… wow I really don’t want to write 9 posts today! Didn’t get anything done last night, so I’ve got all 9 for today. Does seem more than a little bit excessive at the moment, but I think I can get through it! I do not plan on putting amazon links in every post, that will speed up my writing, and the ones that I get stuck on I will find some amazon products to sell that will help me keep the creative juices flowing
Okay, so this should be rather obvious… but 9 websites per day is a LOT to keep up with! It pretty well fries your brain by the end of the day too. This is now going on the third day of it… it’s a lot right now, but I have a feeling that after 2 or 3 weeks of this I’ll be pretty used to it and it’ll just come out habitually. I’m thinking that the results will be great, but the effort to go in is a lot for very little so far… Once I get all the sites interlinked and 3 months down the road we’ll see how this has done for us I also need to try and get some work done on other projects ya know…
Definitely gonna have to revert to CakePHP 1.3.x for TheBibleAnimated I just don’t have the time to learn the new CakePHP v2.0.x system right now. Especially now that I’m doing a 90 day blogging challenge with 9 websites! Oh, this is gonna be nuts man! The link quality, especially with tags and categories is going to be even more insane. Of course at some point I’ll have to learn it, but that time just isn’t now. If I’m going to actually get the site built, and in a decent time frame… well sticking to what I know is the only way The blogging challenge is important, especially keeping the flow of information that I’ve got going, and the momentum I’ve got with blogging… yeah, sticking with the older CakePHP is the only way I can go.
ALLLRRIGHTY… So… I downloaded a few WP Themes… I added a whole lotta links to all of my WP blogs w/ PR. Sort of a massive interlinking campaign… or test… Problem is I was using the default template on most of the sites, so just adding them to the blogroll meant they only showed up on the home page… I also want to keep going on PPP and advertisers are less likely to pay someone 10 times over… so I wanted unique templates!!!
Okay… so WordPress themes site is freakin’ dead… or just slow as crap… it was annoying me, and you sort through a whole crap load of VERY bad templates… many that don’t help and give you links all over the blog…
Finally found a site that does provide great templates for free! Ok, so they’ve got some levitrol and other crap links that you DO NOT want on your site in the footer… no problem right?
JS encrypted?
Worse…
See JS encrypted you could just delete it!
modern WP templates require just before the
tag or wp won’t load
They figured out a way to get wp_footer() to echo out their links!!!
Worse yet… they quadruple encrypted the information mangled with required files between 3 template files… Got one template fixed and uploaded to a site… only 5 more to go
Oh, and it gets even more fun! Or rather engenius, didn’t make it any harder to decode… but they were drawing the link information from their site, so they could change the links on literally hundreds of sites all at once! I imagine that the links are sponsored links helping them pay for their coding.
OH SHIT!!!!!!! Just found some more encrypted information… They’ve got a tracking image, and a kill switch for your blog!!! If you install the template, they can check out your site, after checking out your site if you’ve figured out how to remove the links, but don’t remove the encoded kill switch they can click a button on their sites that shuts down yours!!!
These guys are maniacle genius bastards!!!
Actually kinda glad I didn’t use the WP theme depository (heck coulda run into the same thing anyways)
A lot of men, including myself, often will claim that they prefer a woman without make up. I’ve said it for years, the natural look is just more beautiful, why mess with what God crafted with his own hands? At least that was my thoughts before a few weeks ago. My wife came home looking absolutely radiant. I couldn’t figure it out, she always wears make up, and she is always beautiful… but this day she was glowing. At first I thought she was not wearing any Make Up, after spending some time with her I found that she was wearing makeup but had found some Cosmetics Tips online that helped her to blend and highlight in a way she had never done before. With the right Make Up Tutorials she was able to amaze me after 3 years of marriage she came in more radiant than I have ever seen her.
Lol.. well, I didn’t quite get the stuff coded that I wanted to… which ironically also made me miss out on posting today. I gave myself yesterday, and didn’t get much done. Taking Rose to work really cuts a LOT out of my day. I gave myself a day, and missed blogging… eh… oh well, it’s still technically “today” so blogging now isn’t so bad… but with the screwed up time on my server this would post as tomorrow, except I’ve changed that because cheating is okay some times Gonna have to actually do my blogging tomorrow… my brain is so fried right now… I tried updating to CakePHP v2.0.3 for my coding project, but that turned out pretty disastrous! Okay, so I wasn’t far along, basically just had a few things baked right? So it was the perfect time to upgrade… or so I thought… Baking with CakePHP v2.0.3 is a pain! I am not able to do anything! I open up bake, and all it does is give me errors, errors about not having a database file (which I do have) then I put in all the information and it gives me errors saying that the database template file something or other is missing… I tried searching for answers but found no one with the same problems I’m having… I might give it another go tomorrow… but I might just let it go and go back to CakePHP v1.3.12 at least I’ve got a working site… and it might make more sense as there isn’t as much documentation for v2.x.x yet… I will probably just go back to v1.3.12 or whatever the latest 1.3.x is
Okay… as I have stated before I’m not getting as much done on TheBibleAnimated as I need to… Granny made that MUCH worse today… I was actually way ahead on the blogging, and starting work on TBA when she showed up to use the computer… She had a couple things to do, but as Grannies often do… her hunt and peck typing kept her occupying my seat for nearly 2 hours… When she finally got done, Connor wanted to go to the park that I had promised him… and the last thing I want to do is go back on promises I’ve made to Connor just so I can get work done. Work comes after family in that God > Wife > Child/Children > Extended Family > Friends > Self > Work > Play spectrum… It was getting close to taking Rose to work time, so the park wasn’t an option, but we did go outside and ride the bike for a little while. Needless to say, now the driving Rose to work is in the way of getting any real work done… So I think I’m gonna have to take a little bit of a different approach to the whole blogging and start using scheduled tasks! This post for instance… written on the 13th, scheduled to display on my blog on the 14th… plan on getting all of my blogging for the 14th done today on the 13th and maybe even the 15th’s blogging… then I can focus purely on coding TheBibleAnimated stuff for two solid days really getting my bearings as to where that project needs to be developed more. So here’s to a successful run of blogging, while not interfering with my coding project! Or hopefully not interfering with it
At some point in time… probably after this blogging challenge is over… I am going to get to work on the vacuum cleaners site again adding new vacuums. That time is not right now… I’ve got 96 pages saved of vacuums to review, but realistically I just don’t have the time or brain power for it! I’ve got to get working on TheBibleAnimated and get that thing set up… no more distractions necessary! I’ve got a good start on the blogging challenge… only 7 days officially left here, and been doin’ well with many of my other sites. At the end of the 7 days here I may just do the 90 days of ESSM and throw in the occasional update here and other places.
