Erik’s Blog: Board Shorts and Business Suits

Haven’t been posting much lately because I have been working hard developing a prototype and testing and tweaking that. Plus I’m traveling a bit to the mainland for work which has been keeping me busy. I know I promised a great tip about helping those who have been worried about their YPN account and I will keep my word and get it up here soon. I really think it’ll help a lot of you out and feel bad that I haven’t gotten to it. I would say it’s about half done but only the easy half. Time wise I still have about 4/5ths to work on.

As for the new look of these here pages I really enjoy them. I would suggest that if you haven’t tried nifty corners you do. I still have to tweak the location and call of the java files but I think I am going to keep the general feel of the site that I’ve created. As far as I can tell it is a unique enough layout that I may even try and package it for download by others using wordpress.

As for the holes in my blog that I have to fill: the goals section in the upper right hand corner needs to be completed. I plan on making a page for each goal and telling a little about why I may want to accomplish that goal and how things are going. I also need to continue to update on my golfing and running. For the most part (minus these last two weeks) I have been running quite a bit. Golf is getting a little expensive for me and I may have to spend more time on the range until I can go twilight at a local course.

My sites are coming along. I fell behind on my 12 in 12 months but it hasn’t been 12 months and I won’t give up that easy. I may about $0.50 a week and I would say that my sites are very poorly monetized so that is somewhat encouraging. $2 a month could easily turn into $20 a month if I were to place ads in the correct places. Once I return home from my trips I may try and work out a good strategy to get the monetization done.

Other than that I have to keep adding good content that helps others rather than these types of “Sorry for not Posting” updates. We’ll see how it goes.
