Tonight I found a new goodie to play with. Being a widget whore I couldn’t help myself, I just had to know what reading level of audience I could possibly cater to with my writing. Apparently I’m all systems go for the teeny-bopper crowd. My writing isn’t quite college material…but that’s ok…neither am I

Now, if you’ll excuse me I need to like, go put on a Hansen cd, paint my toes, and like, talk on the phone to my BFF (best friend forevea) Stacie until 2am! Like omg! *squeeeeee* Byeeee!

But before I go, how’d your blog fare? Spill in the comments plz kthxbai.

Being away from the blog world for awhile means I’ve kinda missed out on a few things here and there. It struck me this morning as I sat down to review my work from last night that I didn’t recall hearing a peep about Blogathon ’08 over the last few months. I knew it should have already happened at some point this summer but I usually receive emails from certain bloggers looking for sponsorship and I hadn’t heard from any of them.

I went to check the Blogathon website and was kinda bummed to find that it didn’t happen this year. Granted, putting on the ‘thon is a HUGE production and tough work to boot so I understand their wanting to take a year off to rest a bit. I really do hope though that it comes back in 2009 because it’s one helluva great idea and I totally need my fix *chuckle* I <3 my Blogathon!

Figured I’d take a break from cleaning for a few minutes to start doing all the updates to my various blogs…

Figured I’d start with this one…

Didn’t figure I would make my whole fucking blog disappear!

I don’t know what happened or why but after the update everything was just blank. Somehow managed to fix it (don’t ask me how, there was some fiddling and many swear words involved) but I just about lost my mind because silly me didn’t back up! Methinks I’m ready for a beer now…jeez lousie…

P.S. 2.6.2 looks pretty damn nifty back here…I suppose after I finish my others I can sit down and play with it! wh00t!

Yeah…

So that was lame. BUT I just signed up for a Spanish course so I can only hope that my mad Spanish skills will reveal themselves sometime soon to make my post titles a little more correct.

I’m not down with the lingo – yet.

I’m also not down with having to update all of my WP installations…apparently this weekend will be split between cleaning out my kitchen cabinets and updating…woo freakin’ hoo. It seems every time I log into my little control panel I’m met with:

“A new version of WordPress is available! Please update now.”

O rly?

I’m thinking it would be kinda cool if we could wake up and see the following floating around above our heads in a little yellow strip:

“A new version of Your Life is available! Please update now.”

I for one would click that sucker everytime it arrived *chuckle*

[edit]:
On a more serious and somber note, I’d like to take a moment to remember both my brother who passed away 3 moths ago today as well as the many lives lost in the 9-11 attacks. I hope all of the souls have found peace.

Ok folks so I’ve been outta the loop on pretty much everything here lately. Blogging has moved off into the great unknown for me and I haven’t kept up with any of it. I need to get back into the swing of things yaknow. I had a few spare hours a couple weeks ago waiting for someone to come run an errand with me so I started work on a new site for myself.

I have another blog (FireSafeHouse.com) that I actually do earn some income from. It’s nothing special, it was kinda started as a joke, and I’m actually shocked I have been earning a little bit of cash with it. I call it my “pocket change blog”. I sat down and thought about it and realized that if that one blog worked for I should be able to replicate another one right?

Now with the other previously established blog I have I make anywhere from $40-60 a month with it, put no work into it other than the initial investment of time to set it up. I don’t update, change the layout or anything. The only cost is the domain name and the money it makes from text link ads pays for all of my hosting for all of my sites and all of my sites domain name registrations. Pretty good deal if you ask me. I’m sure if I was to actually put some continual work into it I could make more but I’m satisfied with the results I’m seeing for now.

So after a few hours of messing around with a domain I’d bought ages ago I got my latest little pocket change venture on its feet. The Arizona Blog is basically just a collection of articles on various aspects of Arizona, ranges from travel to real estate. If you have a spare moment check it out, there are actually some really good articles on there

I’ll be using it as a testing ground for Adsense and Text Link Ads and if I can find something out about either that is of any use I’ll gladly pass it along here. But that’s what my latest “fun” is…hope everyone is doing well
