OK, so I wasn’t successful in getting wackomenace listed in 9rules the first time…I submitted the site again on 25th October in the 5th round along with my new university blog.
Let’s hope they both get in this time around, otherwise it’ll be yet more waiting until the next round :)
It’s commonly known that there are many famous people all over the world who know nothing about the web. Most of them don’t have a website. Most of these haven’t even reserved any domain names to protect them against squatters. All you need are details of the past one year’s worth of WIPO rulings regarding domain names to see how widespread this is.
Now, I can’t say that I’m famous by any stretch of the imagination (even if I’d like to think I am!), but there’s one thing that I haven’t forgotten to do: reserve my name on the web. Derek Punsalan blogged about reserving his name on the web, and that gave me an idea. Many web designers and even some well known bloggers have their very own business cards. It’s what they hand out when at conferences and gatherings, and its design is what sets them apart from the crowd.
That’s something I like.
As promised earlier, Y i Believe Hosted Badges are now available. Have a look there for updated code and free hosted badges. The code it gives you will work with most sites, including MySpace. If you have any suggestions or comments, as always, please contact me.
UPDATE: Y i Believe Hosted Badges are now up and running. Have a look there for updated code and free hosted badges. The code it gives you will work with most sites, including MySpace.
Y i Believe is a new-ish site all about people who have found Jesus and want to spread His word through the internet.
The site lists how you can participate by placing a badge on your website. However, the site only has code you can use if you run your own site or can edit the code behind it. If you want to place a badge on your MySpace profile, here’s the code to do it:
I’ve been seeing more and more of those Text Link Ads everywhere and I wondered what all the fuss was about. They sell small text ads on your site, split the revenue 50-50, and deposit earnings directly into your PayPal account, so it seemed like a win-win situation. I signed up and it was all done in a matter of a few minutes. I’ve placed the code on my site, so all I have to do now is sit back and see what they can do for me :)
In other news, my 9rules membership application wasn’t successful. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been blogging seriously for that long. Oh well, there’s always next time…
It seems like TagsPage is the new kid on the block, bringing the Million Dollar Homepage bang up-to-date by applying the tagging principle…
The interesting thing, however, is that they also offer a free tag for those who can’t shell out $5 a letter for the top tags. Even though these tags appear on a separate page, they offer great value for money for some extra traffic, especially if you have a low-traffic blog (<cough> me! </cough>).
Now I don’t know whether TagsPage will get up to the sheer popularity of the Million Dollar Homepage, but as long as its a source of good traffic, then I can’t see any problems.
Now why don’t I think of these ideas?
