Be wary of ads telling you that you can make quick bucks by just answering a survey or reading an email or browsing ads on different sites. Remember this: there is no way to earn easily online! You have to work hard to be able to earn decently, offline or online. Do not get lured [...]

Blogging was a tool for me to make friends in the past. I gained a lot of friends because of it. Imagine being friends with people from Japan, Germany, US, and neighboring Asian countries. Nakakatuwa! I also made friends with a lot of people within the country. It was pretty amazing to be so well [...]

Click image to enlarge I miss the number of comments I get before. Not only in this blog but in my other blogs as well. The problem is, because I maintain quite a number of blogs, the time I used to spend on leaving comments in other blogs so I get some in return is [...]

I let some domains expire. I no longer have the desire to build those domains. Anyway, I was able to get those for a bargain amount. I was not supposed to do it anymore but I still found myself buying three new domains. I just like to have a domain for a particular interest of [...]

I had problems with my two old blogs a couple of days ago. I thought it was already taken back from me by the owner! I must admit that I no longer hold any control over those two blogs. I should have returned it a long time ago. But since I still need it, I [...]

I wonder what happened to my biggest fan. The one who sent me a hate text message. I know who she is! She didn’t know that there’s something about her text message that gave away her identity. I just can’t understand some people. They can’t take criticisms. Well, the Wahmaholic designer is really charging ridiculous [...]

Do you still write for Bloggerwave? I haven’t written for them in over a year. The cheating company still owes me more than a $100 bucks from the posts I did for them back in 2007. I followed it up again and again and again. Guess what? They didn’t do anything about it! I saw [...]

I posted something about blog designers overcharging their clients. I didn’t think much of it afterwards. I didn’t mean any harm with that post but to inform bloggers like me who get the services of blog designers to be smart when choosing who to hire or whom to buy premade designs from. I didn’t provide [...]

I do think some blog designers charge a ridiculous amount for their services. I know that it’s hard to code and to come up with a design, especially if you are the one doing it from scratch and not just buying vectors from iStockphoto and similar sites. But to charge a $100 design fee for [...]

Truth of the matter is, I don’t know what to do with the spam comments anymore! They just keep on coming back! I have Akismet installed. I am using the Blacklist in the Discussion settings of my admin page. I have even put there the IP addresses of spammers that Akismet caught. Still, they keep [...]

You might have noticed that Feedjit, your reliable visitor tracker, changed skins. Have you noticed it? Honestly, I didn’t notice it until I read a tweet about it. So that’s the reason why Feedjit is slowing down loading of blogs for the past several weeks. I actually removed it from some of my blogs because [...]

I know that theme/template authors need funding for them to continue offering free WordPress themes and Blogger templates. That’s the reason why we see a link or two, sometimes more, at the footer of free themes/templates that we view and download. BUT if you don’t know it yet, those footer links are detrimental to your [...]

I found this painting at the Bencab Museum in Asin Rd., Baguio City. The painting is from Bencab’s friend. Too bad I forgot the name of the artist who painted this lovely masterpiece!

I must admit that it is hard to maintain multiple blogs. You need to dedicate a big chunk of your time for updates alone. I know some bloggers would just cross-post a single topic in their blogs. For example, a blogger attended a debut. He or she will post the summary of the debut in [...]

WordPress is releasing 3.0 soon. I’ve been reading updates and I do think it is very promising. I’m still using an older version of WordPress for some of my blogs. I will just update when WordPress 3.0 is released. I still don’t get the use of some widget images in Entrecard. A real estate blog [...]
