Have You Ever Watched a Blog Go Out?

28 Jul

Defunct blogHave you ever followed a blog, loved the content, connected with the writer, kept coming back to read more, only to find one day that’s it – KAPPUT – FINITO – NO MORE ?

I’ve experienced it a couple of times now, and I have to say I find it a little sad but also more than a little intriguing. There are myriads of reasons for a blog to finish but we are often left hanging in suspense wondering what on earth happened. (more…)

Getting Started With Twitter

23 Jul

Getting Started With TwitterI have to admit that I have been very slow on the uptake with all forms of social networking, and particularly with Twitter, I’ve really been at a loss as to the point of it and how it can benefit me.

However, since giving Twitter an initial try out, the penny is now starting to drop and I can see its potential for at least some of my online projects.

Affiliate Progress – Come on Spain!

8 Jul

So come on Spain! It would be rude not to support them since we will be drinking their beer!

Also, if Spain don’t do it, Pulpo Paul (the psychic octopus) could soon be making a re-appearance in a tapas bowl! Which would be a shame for such a talented creature.

Anyway, I will be totally offline for a week and am really looking forward to a good rest (apart from all the painting work I have waiting for me over there!). When I return I hope to start blogging about my new experiments in the wonderful world of Twitter. As with my other affiliate activities I hope to chart this right from the outset for other beginners to follow, and also to draw out helpful suggestions and tactics via comments.

All the best, see you in a week or so!
