Dilemma of a Blogger Follow Up 2008-03-06 03:14:28 Continuing with my dilemma, I decided to expand yesterday’s post.
The blog I was referring to, Zen Habits, is one that I have been reading for quite some time now, and even though I really love the posts (they are very motivational) I never got to actually buy the e-books offered there. I came across this [...] Read more:Blogger
Dilemma of a Blogger - Thinking out Loud 2008-03-05 07:54:18 There has been something on my mind lately that I can’t seem to shake off.
You see, I read quite a few blogs everyday, some through their feed in my mailbox, others because I came across them when dropping entrecards and they caught my eye before heading off to another blog and of course I follow [...] Read more:Blogger

Spending an Hour Wasting Time - Random Thoughts 2008-02-29 06:29:35 Still suffering from the flue I just can´t set my mind straight and do the jobs that really need doing, so I reside to reading other blogs and a combo of entrecard-dropping, commenting / stumbling to at least do a bit of linking and socializing.

To Ping or not to Ping, Automatically… 2008-02-26 07:09:53 Last week I was reading an article by Courtney Tuttle, How Setting your blog to ping could hurt your traffic in which he explains that using the timestamp feature actually pings the services ahead of time, sending all searchengines to your site looking for a post that does not yet exist in blogosphere and once [...] Read more:Automatically
One Post at a Time, Please! 2008-02-23 04:42:58 How cool would it be to have a way to automatically record all your thoughts?

Free Publicity 2008-02-22 05:35:52 Ever since I started this blog, I have been thinking about whether I should “monetize” it or not.

Thinking about Changing Themes 2008-03-10 10:02:06 I originally had a change of theme scheduled for the month of April along with a nice contest to boost readership and interaction on my blog, but since there are so many contest way bigger than any I would be able to organize at the moment, I decided not to go ahead with that idea.

EntreCard Droppers, Are We Destroying the System? 2008-03-16 12:51:32 During yet another EntreCard dropping session I just kept wondering why the hell this has become such an addictive habit.

Are A-List Bloggers Really all That Great? 2008-03-31 08:40:31 One thing I really like about blogging is the interaction with other bloggers.

I had of course come across all different sites with [...] Read more:Great
