Your Blogs RealRank

Nah, I don’t mean your blog stinks! What I’m talking about is the new Real Rank blog rank tool from IZEA. Izearanks.com to be exact. It’s become very apparent over the last few months that Google’s Page Rank system is very flawed when considering the value of a website. It’s supposedly [...]

How does your blog rank?

There really aren’t many ways to accurately rank a blog and none of them are completely accurate, but for different reasons. There’s Alexa, but that only tracks your readers who have the Alexa toolbar installed. A lot of people shun toolbars like they were plagued, so that leaves them out. Then there’s [...]

My Xbox is Talking about Me

In a strange but entertaining turn of events, my XBox 360 is blogging about me behind my back! Karma and all that I guess, so it’s a good thing I never said anything bad about my 360 =) Give your xbox a voice and see what it has to say about you and [...]

Free Piano Lessons

I’ve never been good with musical instruments although I really wish I could play something. A while back I got a keyboard pretty cheap for the wife, and since it has a training thing built in I decided to give it a shot. I still can’t play a note or read a note, [...]

Smorty

A fairly new company in the paid blogging world is Smorty.  Advertisers can create an account with Smorty and then pay bloggers (like me) to write sponsored reviews for them. These reviews can be about nearly anything covering topics from cell phones to web-hosting services. Even though I’ll be paid to write some of the [...]

I’ve been bad?

I’ve been a bad boy. I got my wife in trouble and now she’s mad at me.
A few days ago, without properly considering my actions, I made a post on a public forum. In this post I listed a certain blog address which was violating the terms of service for a paid blogging [...]

And todays Fechr is…

Fechr (pronounced feature) is a new internet promotion site that can really make a difference in the traffic you get. Each day it will feature one website or blog for a full 24 hours. It’s an interesting idea and I think there’s a good chance it will take off and do well, unlike [...]

New home

Slowly getting everything set up on the new host and trying to learn wordpress at the same time. Luckily it has a handy import feature that gathered up all my previous posts for me, that made things go a little quicker. I’ll probably be trying out different templates as I go until [...]

Intended direction

I started this blog with the intention to mostly blog about my gaming and some computer stuff in general. I also plan to sign up on some of the “get paid to blog” services, cause hell, I could use some extra spending cash, whether it’s to help with bills or save up for new [...]
