Well I’ve been attacked and wounded by a…… christmas tree.  My 2 year old pulled the christmas tree down this morning. As I leaped over the coffee table to ‘save’ her, I was hit in the eye by one of the branches. It cut into my eye, and I now am on pain killers and [...]

Well the other day I posted a request for 10 of you to comment if you wanted us to start teaching some of the newbie stuff (it was a trick question – I’ll explain in a minute).  I cheated though because 2.3k people have read that page and I didn’t get 10 responses……. and only [...]

Let’s be honest.  If your reading my blog you probably aren’t building websites out of some altruistic motive. Your building them to make money. So why in gods green earth do I see so many of you building link farms,  websites, “property” of some type that is never going to make a dime. Some Examples [...]

So I just deleted a comment that was left for me as a personal note.  The person asked for a “total newbie corner”.  Basically just how to do the basics.  Things like FTP, HTML, CSS, PHP, etc… My first reaction was…. don’t know how to use Google huh? My second reaction was… I really don’t [...]

On a forum the other day I read a long winded thread about flipping blogs. This is what was being pitched: 1.) Register domain. Install WordPress. 2.) Put up 20 articles (outsource if you don’t write them). 3.) Sell on sitepoint for $200. Assuming you outsource the articles for 5 bucks a piece, your “costs” [...]

So this morning I was adding some new features to WordPress Monthly and I needed a bunch of user agents to abuse a certain article directory. After digging I found a list of thousands: Opera/7.54u1 (Windows 98; U) [de] Opera/7.54u1 (Windows 98; U) [en] Opera/7.54u1 (Windows ME; U) [en] Opera/7.54u1 (Windows NT 4.0; U) [en] [...]

Glowleaf just published a little article on his blog talking about women and how they are capable of pretty much kicking our tails at affiliate marketing. (see here) It got me thinking though.  It’s 100 percent true.  I bought this scrapbooking domain (an info one at that) a few years ago when she got interested [...]

I just love lot’s of data.  Except for the pouring over it and figuring it out part.  I like it even more when someone else does all that work. I don’t like it when it’s Google (they have to much data about me and you both). For a change Google is going to help you [...]

Since it’s the night before thanksgiving and traffic is null – I’ve taken the opportunity to ‘MOVE’ wordpress monthly to a different IP address. By friday we should be fully functional so this is a good thing It will be back up in a few hours – Don’t panic. #af-form-1394620488 .af-body .af-textWrap{width:98%;display:block;float:none;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-body .privacyPolicy{color:#000000;font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana, [...]

I really like most of the sitepoint books that I already own.  Sitepoint is doing something pretty cool right now though and you can get their css book free (in pdf format). No strings except to follow them on twitter or give them an e-mail address: http://twitaway.aws.sitepoint.com/ #af-form-1394620488 .af-body .af-textWrap{width:98%;display:block;float:none;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-body .privacyPolicy{color:#000000;font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;} #af-form-1394620488 [...]
