A bit of this and a bit of that

Yes, I know .. if you’re been following my blog posts I should be really cleaning the house, but I’m blogging instead! Thing is, I always find the best way to relieve boredom is to puncture what you’re doing by doing something totally different. The great thing about that is that you don’t really feel [...]

Hope you like the new theme on the blog. It’s called AdMints Pepper and it’s just awesome. I got it from FreshPress Themes and if you’re after a new theme, pop down there and see if you can find something you like. Much recommended

I was lucky enough to be one of the few selected for Alpha Testing on SocialSpark, the brand new social media marketing platform of Izea, the brains behind PayPerPost.

It’s a commercial service that [...]

Hmm .. I just realised that my Geowidget plugin is broken. It’s supposed to show you a map you select on the sidebar of your blog, but it’s not actually displaying anything. Time to pull out the toolbox and find out what’s wrong. Will keep you posted.

WordPress 2.3 is out and I’ll be updating this blog soon. I’ve already rolled it out onto one blog, but I’ll give it a day or two to make sure there are no adverse effects. It was relatively painless to deploy it. I’ll be looking forward to rolling it out here. There are a couple [...]

I’ve just noticed that PayPerPost have just launched their brand spanking new PayPerPost University. It’s a collection of hints, tips and best practices to educate both bloggers and advertisers as to how to use their service.
