Making blogging adjustments for lifestyle changes

Thanks you for visiting. Please consider subscribing to the RSS feed.Yes, things have been pretty light around here lately. I started a new job and moved to a new state, and this has limited all things web-related for me. But, the job is definitely worth spending a little less time online, and has changed my […]

Focus group video

Colleen posted the video of our focus group with then-PPP, now IZEA, from something like 6 months ago. I’m the male blogger with hair. I didn’t hear any of my insightful comments, but trust me, I was brilliant. In the video, all I do is nod my head thoughtfully and giggle like a schoolgirl.
The only […]

Town Hall Chat With Ted Murphy, IZEA CEO

Ted Murphy, IZEA CEO, held a town hall chat with bloggers this evening. I clipped a few key points that were of interest to me (I think you can tell from the chat where I am focused), along with some Q&A from a few other bloggers:**
Bob: when will social spark beta testing begin?
Ted Murphy: I […]

Who is responsible when bloggers feel they have to write negative reviews?

I don’t like writing negative reviews any more than the next guy.
I try to get past this by only taking paid-review opportunities that I truly like, or for which I can see how someone else might value the product or service.
But sometimes, I come across an opportunity which has potential but is falling down on […]

What are experienced bloggers saying about submitting blogs to PPP?

Experienced paid-posting bloggers are weighing in as a result of Google’s zero-ranking in November. I posted a poll at the GeekySpeaky Forums, an independent message board primarily frequented by bloggers like myself, those actively engaged in writing paid reviews through brokered marketplaces. The results surprised me:

You can read the thread at geekyspeaky.com. Most of the […]

Great customer service from a web host? Who knew?

Sorry I’ve been gone for several days, but I’ve been trying to run down the intermittent errors that were occurring across my domains. I thought it might have been related to some combination of incompatibilities with plugins, themes, and Wordpress 2.3, but nothing I tried made a difference. All the research and forums I checked […]

What is the big Izea?

Ok, it’s a lame headline. I admit it, I’m not at the top of my game today.
So, PPP has reorganized it’s brands. You can read all about it at this sweet ass site.

PayPerPost employees take time off to mock transvestites and cartoon characters

PayPerPost programmers took time out of their busy coding schedule to attend a nerd-fest where they proceeded to dress like fictional female superheros and hand out PPP swag. What are these guys doing taking personal time on a weekend when there is $10M of investor money on the line? And I suppose the fact that […]

Brand change in the works at PayPerPost

Ted Murphy at PayPerPost "let a cat out of the bag" with regard to Argus earlier this evening.

The singular “a cat” rather than absolute “the cat” version of the common metaphor was done purposely, of course, because the Argus bag has about 73 different cats tussling around in there, much like a full-bodied woman in a tight pair of jeans.

I’m frustrated with Linkworth

I’m a little frustrated right now. This isn’t the post I’d wanted to write about Linkworth. I wanted to dig deep into their website and try to explain in simple terms all of the monetization opportunities that are available. But, I can’t do it.
I’ve had an ongoing problem with Linkworth. At the same time, there […]
