A Matter of Balance

May 11, 2005

I was shocked today to find that mid-May is already creeping up on me. It's been a very slow start to the month for me, and the month is already almost halfway over. I haven't done much of anything this... Read

So How Did I Do In April?

May 04, 2005

I've been busy these past couple of days with some offline deadlines, but during a break (not frequent enough - I really need to get that kitchen timer) I started thinking about how April went. This was a good thing,... Read

Progress? What Progress?

April 28, 2005

Nadev has a great post (with a great title) over at WebSiteNights. He starts by saying: It’s been a long time since the last update. I have to be honest here and tell you what I think happened: The basic... Read

Challenge Update

April 20, 2005

Well, I have another update on my Challenge quest. Not that much to report, actually - I just spent the past few days finishing up a truly massive offline deadline. Got it off my desk at 2:30 a.m. on Monday... Read

Update on Googlebot Watch

April 14, 2005

Did I say I was restraining myself from checking my stats? Okay, I fibbed a little. Actually, I don't have a great stats package on the server that my Adsense challenge site is hosted on. I checked this morning, but... Read

Googlebot, Googlebot, Wherefore Art Thou, Googlebot?

Okay, I'm onto "Phase Two" for two of my challenge sites. (Still in the building stage for the fourth site). To me, Phase Two means traffic, traffic and (hopefully) more traffic. Since I'm not going to be buying traffic, all... Read

$100/Day Challenge Update

April 11, 2005

Well, here's my challenge update. I have to say that I'm glad that Nadev's rules are so flexible, and I can include any site that isn't currently making any money. That old site of mine is still getting the traffic... Read

A Decline in Forum Browsing ...

April 05, 2005

Wait ... I think that's a good thing, actually. It's a sign of progress, in a way. Lately I've been finding myself up to the eyeballs in my to-do list, and every moment I get free, I'm doing something for... Read

One of Those Days

April 02, 2005

Well, I'm having one of those nights. Basically, nearly everything I tackled on my to-do list was screwed up somehow. Piddly little things, like using the wrong ftp account for one of my new domains (I had put it under... Read

Challenge Update

April 01, 2005

It didn't feel like I did a whole lot today, but now that I'm looking back over the day, I guess I did do a bit. Mind you, I wasted a good bit of time looking at backgrounds and fonts,... Read

Isn't It Always the Way?

March 30, 2005

Just a quick update here. Isn't this always what happens? Accept a really cool challenge and then get sidelined by an offline deadline just when you're itching to make up for the ten days you've already missed! I did manage... Read

Joining the $100/Day in 12 Weeks Challenge

March 28, 2005

Well, I've taken the plunge, and am now a fully participating member of Nadev's $100/day in 12 weeks challenge. I really hesitated with this, because while it looks like a lot of fun and motivation, my gameplan is to get... Read
