Server Trouble
Jul 8, 2008 Site News, Work At Home
Hostgator broke the server. They are supposed to be fixing it, but want to fix all of my other problems first. Go figure.
As some of you know, I’m no stranger to having issues with the servers that I find myself using. It just seems to be a way of life for me.
Anyway, here’s an update — it’s working decently again, but the old theme wasn’t rendering properly, so I switched it out. Hope you like the new one! Feedback is welcome and appreciated! Woot!

Goals for the new year.
Jan 13, 2008 Blogging, Work At Home
Ok, I know I’m two weeks behind schedule with this, but I’m posting it anyway.
In lieu of making ‘resolutions’ this year, I have simply set two goals for myself. What’s the difference between a goal and a resolution? It’s simple, really. Goals were meant to be reached while resolutions, well, do you know ANYONE that keeps theirs up throughout the year?
My goals for 2008, in no particular order are:
- Earn $500.00 online.
- Lose 25 pounds.
That’s it. Just two. The reason for that is to keep my hopes up, and not to set myself up for a big let-down.
The first, earning $500.00 should be fairly simple. I’m already off to a decent start with that. I’ve been paid $10.00 so far, and am still waiting on about $56.00 in payments (which should be spaced out over the next two weeks). Not to mention that I have some film for sale on eBay, and I’m hoping that it actually sells. APS film, anyone?
I’ve started to take the blogging thing seriously, and have even begun tracking my expenses and payments received.
Oh, and I purchased a domain name last night, so be prepared for a URL change soon.
As for the second goal, losing 25 pounds, that may be more difficult. I’ve never had any luck losing weight (except with the help of ephedrine-based supplements, the lot of which have been banned, as have all dietary supplements regardless of chemical composition, by my wife). I get lots of exercise at work (too much, really) and I don’t really eat that much during the day, but I still can’t get the weight to drop. Who knows? Perhaps this will be the year!
That’s it. That’s all I have for now. Stay tuned for that domain change!

Deborah over at Freelance Writing Jobs has given me some link love on her latest end-of-the-year-link-love post!
If you haven’t seen her blog, now would be a good time to do so, rather than wasting your time pretending to work on that spreadsheet or reading this drivel.
It’s just full of articles about writing, inspiration, and making money doing so. Perhaps my favorite thing is her linkage, not just because I was included this time, but she always has something interesting to read.
AND…she posts links to writing gigs! Awesome!
Deb, you probably won’t read this, but thank you! Love your stuff!
And happy new year!

PayPerPost Added to The Sugarbuzz Project!

As you all know (if you read this site), I like to try to find new ways to make money on the internet. I’ve considered many options, and I wanted to pass on some information about one of the choices I have made.
PayPerPost is a site that basically sells blog reviews. What does this mean to you? Well, if you are a wannabe uber-blogger like yours truly, it means they pay you to write reviews for their paying customers (thereby generating buzz and traffic - which, as we know, is a good thing).
One feature that strikes me as cool is their “Blogger Dashboard”, which gives you a display of your posts that have been approved and rejected, how much you have been/will be paid, and other featured offers you can take them up on.
Oh, and there’s a nifty ‘give to charity’ feature as well, if you are so inclined.
As far as their payment schedule, here is a snippet from their FAQ regarding how their payment schedule works:
Once your post is approved, our system sends it back to the Review team for a second round check 30 days after the original submit date. If the post is still live, and unchanged, it will be approved again and you will receive payment via PayPal.
I look forward to doing business with PayPerPost on a regular basis. Their site is easy to use, and they have a fairly good reputation (according to the things I have read). Check them out!

Trade your poems for money!

I stumbled upon a couple of interesting sites today that will pay for your poetry, fiction, etc. Rather than go into a long, drawn out description of each site, I will summarize.
Or maybe, I’ll just put the links here and let you tell me how they are…
Please leave comments if you have tried (or know someone who has tried) these services.
