A funny thing seems to happen around the holidays… people are nicer for no apparent reason. I don’t personally celebrate any religious holidays but I find the typical public decorum to be quite amusing around this time of year. Fellow employees at my job are jovial and much more interested in my welfare and made sure they went around to [...]

Blogging is a great way to create a residual income stream that will keep on giving for months or even years. This blog was created with the goal of making money. It has seen better days, but still keeps on kicking. Certain blog posts drive the majority of traffic to the site and by properly monetizing those posts, I continue [...]

It has been quite a long time since I posted here and to celebrate I have changed up the theme to something more fun. I have also moved to a new webhost, iPage. After much searching and deliberation it was clear that iPage offered a terrific value at only $3.50 per month compared to the $10 I was paying previously [...]

My spring break trip [...]

Well it looks like Shaun Carter dot Com just got the Google PR bitchslap down to a big fat zero. So, I guess there is a pagerank update underway and you may want to check your sites as well and see what your new rank is. [tags]shaun carter, google, pagerank, pr, seo, search engine[/tags]

So yeah, I’m a little behind the times. I have never been into the game of jumping onto the bandwagon immediately after something new comes out, but now I’m ready to take the plunge and give Entrecard a chance on this blog.
