I’ve got time for a quick post, with no work to do and all (apart from an essay for University that was due yesterday, but hell, I’m on holiday :) ). The celebration went well, loads of photos were taken – some of which I will try and put up when I have time. As for the t-shirts, I think I’ll get the second black one created, as well as the ‘Got Cash’ one – I really like the first black one, but I don’t have the PSD for the design and without that it’ll set me back $270 ish, money that is well… a bit steep. I have asked my designer for the PSD if he has it, but he’s on holiday. Damn it, eh :twisted: . Once I confirm what design I want I will look for a t-shirt shop over here, something that will be fairly easy to find hopefully.

Went to sleep last night at around 2 AM after getting back late from the party and being unable to sleep due to the shocking football result (don’t even ask :twisted: )… after I was unceremoniously dumped out of bed at 8:30 AM (gah!) by my parents, thought I’d take a quick look at the emails (of which I have around forty piled up, all needed to be replied to) and forum private messages. Funnily enough, I wasn’t able to login and then got the message that I’d been banned.

Banned, gah! Seeing as I use forums quite a lot when not on holiday, it really is a pain… especially when the reason I’ve been banned for is one that I haven’t used, ie duplicate accounts – one of the users they accused me of being is one that last logged in before I even knew Digital Point existed, or that you could make money online for that matter – here you go. Might be due to the IP change, seeing as I’m in India, but anyways… I’ve asked a couple people to help out and if you want to add your voice, comment on this newly started thread (cheers to GoldPoster for it). We’ll see what happens, although I don’t have a lot of time on the computer these days; hopefully they’ll look into it and reinstate ASAP.

Now that the function is over I will have a bit more time, so hopefully will be able to post on here a couple times before I go back – I do have a couple guest posts lined up, one of which is a very interesting one about web hosting – would not mind a couple more, so if you feel you’re up for it register and make a draft post… I’ll approve it when I look at it.

According to Alexa, this blog is now rated 66,727 – something I’m pretty damned pleased about. As long as it continues to drop, all’s good – I suspect getting it below 50,000 (which was one of my goals for this blog for 2008 I think) will be a lot more difficult. As long as you guys continue to participate and interact on this website, I suspect that such a goal is definitely reachable though :)

The blog has also dropped below 25,000 on Technorati – again, the lower the better. As of today, I have 180 RSS subscribers – that’s a pretty decent % increase mainly due to the $150.00 contest – if you haven’t entered, make sure you do so, now. :)

Seeing a post on Can’t Get Rich yesterday which linked to this one on John Chow, which linked to this website (it’s like a link train, eh) – something that pissed me off pretty bad. By all means, promote affiliate products – but not one that any half experienced internet marketer knows is available for free. No doubt there will be plenty of newbies that buy, and I feel for them; I promised I’d give you (links to) free versions, so here you go.

1) How to do it for WordPress (there’s even a free theme made for it!)

2) Another location you can get it from (complete with instructions).

3) Download a rudimentary version from TUK.

Enjoy, and don’t waste your money on any more free stuff. ;)

Anyways – I’ve got to run. I’ll see you guys! :)
