Subscribe To Comments
Subscribe to comments is a Wordpress plugin that is very useful if you have a nice readership base that likes to comment. A community if you will. Of course, that is one of the goals I have of this site. I will make a list of the goals I set soon, and [...]
My Blog Log
I have signed up with a new service as you can see by the newest addition to the sidebar. My Blog Log allows you to check out my reader community. Some people even upload pictures and it has a more personal feeling about the visitors to the site. I don’t have [...]
Viral Tool
I have been checking out articles in the Blog Rush box on this site. Interesting stuff. I found this one site that was marketing a viral tool, and the site was very, very new, meaning it didn’t have many backlinks and no Google PR or Alexa ranking. Here was what the article [...]
Second helping of Spam
I got my second spam today. The dam is starting to crack. The only thing is, it was identical to the first. hahaha….
Writing Code in a Post with Postable
Both of the plugins that I tried didn’t work properly for me for some reason, and me being a little impatient, have decided not to ask them for help. It would take too long (perhaps an eternity, as plugin writers are barraged with requests for help).
I used this page, which is called [...]
Change Referral Affiliate Link URL
People are growing more savvy to the ways of the Internet, and many people don’t like being sold things, and especially if it means that you are going to get a cut of some of the pie. You can see when you put your cursor over a link if it has a referral id [...]
Google Code Prettify for Wordpress
Google Code Prettify for Wordpress is my second choice to put code snippets in the website so the guests of this website can see the code without the code bombing my site.
Instructions: Go to the site linked to above, then download, install, and activate the plugin on your site. Should be [...]
Dean’s Code Highlighter v1.2
Dean’s Code Highlighter is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to write code inside of your posts so that doesn’t get treated as code, you dig?
It is useful for people that want to show other people what code to use to execute functions, without bombing their websites. As such, I have installed this [...]
Blog Rush
I was cruising through the Digital Point Forums (where I have nearly completed 7 days of membership, and just realized they don’t allow images in the signature, which is rotten considering I spent a lot of time with the cool post2pic plugin last night), and saw a thread about Blog Rush. I am not [...]
Directories
Here is the first time I have tried to enter my blog into a directory of blogs. Wish me luck, The name of the directory is Blog Listings. They like to have a reciprocal link back. I don;t know how bad this is, as it is free.
My First Spam!
Spam is usually not a reason to celebrate, but your first is always a little emotional. It means you have grown up a bit. This site won’t be the same from this moment on. Here is a copy of the spam, which was advertising a black hat way of spamming comments for [...]
LastPosts2pic
LastPosts2pic is a cool plugin that does a little more than the Feedburner code I just made in the previous post. If you notice, it links to the feed. This plugin creates an animated GIF that links directly to your site, and you can change the amount of previous posts that are listed, [...]
Nofollow Tag, Comment Spam
One of the biggest nuisances is spam on blogs. I use Aksimet for Wordpress blogs, the free service that only requires your API key. I used a program called SPam Karma2 before and it was decent too, but I figured since I have been changing things around, I would change that too. [...]
Feedburner Embeddable Headline Animator
Feedburner Embeddable Headline Animator creates an animated GIF for you that displays your 5 latest blog feeds. The link in the GIF is your Feedburner RSS feed link and I think this is a cool tool to put in your signature in forums and comments.
How do you do it, well, go to [...]
The Facts About Clear Cut Blogging
I am making this site as transparent as possible, in the attempt to show people how to make a strong blog, and also hopefully have people guide this site with their own insights and victories.
You can read the articles, and see the stats mechanisms in the sidebar of the site. Please don’t [...]
Target Adsense
Target Adsense is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to easily ad the and tags to your page. You don’t want Google targeting the wrong stuff, like parts of your blog that you’ve hacked together and have them display totally irrelevant adverts on your site. They don’t want that either, so [...]
Easy Online Advertising
I have finally installed Google Adsense to the site. How did I do it?
I signed into my Adsense account, and chose the Adsense setup tab. From there things are fairly straight forward. I took a screen shot of the website, and extracted the colors from it via Photoshop, and I used this [...]

I have subscribed to this forum, and want to alert everyone that joining forums is a good way to start to drive traffic to your site and learn more about SEO, driving traffic, making money, and a variety of other niche issues..
This forum requires you to post a minimum amount of posts, and [...]
Text Link Ads
Text Link Ads are another way to monetize your website. If you site is doing ok, (it doesn’t have to be great) you can apply and have a good chance of being accepted into their program. After you are accepted, they will give you a plugin (now widget) that has your information, and [...]
