BloggingZoom Hacked

Date January 24, 2008

According to a post by Court, BloggingZoom has been hacked by “a pack of losers with nothing better to do.”
I thought something was a little strange this morning when the BZ button wasn’t showing up on my posts. 
Hopefully Court and Vic can get things up and running as soon as possible, but no matter [...]

Today Was Supposed To Be The Release of WordPress 2.4

Date January 24, 2008

But, it’s not.  As had been reported rather widely, Automattic decided to skip right over the 2.4 release and instead concentrate on version 2.5 to be released in March.  This is the version that will incorporate the new Administration panels (finally) unless, of course, you use plug-ins to change your admin experience.
According to the Blog [...]

Want More Subscribers? Stop Posting

Date January 23, 2008

It’s a bit of a weird discovery, although I have to admit that it’s not limited to just BloggingNotes.
It’s been six days since my last post, and in that time, my number of feed subscribers has risen from around 30 to 45 this morning. I’ve seen this on a couple of my other blogs [...]

Why Do You Blog About Blogging?

Date January 17, 2008

No, I haven’t become disillusioned with the whole thing.  I’ve been taking a little time off, though to try and refocus on things.  I’ve developed a couple of new niche blogs, which I plan on devoting time to growing.  If one of them hits big, I’m going to be very happy indeed, because I think [...]

Get Rid Of What You Don’t Need

Date January 11, 2008

Once a month I’m going do something to the blog to modify it or clean it up a bit - get rid of stuff that doesn’t fit the anymore, just basically de-clutter a little. And I’d encourage you to do the same thing.
When you modify the site a little bit if forces you to [...]

Are You Spreading Yourself Too Thin?

Date January 10, 2008

This is something that I’ve wondered for the last little while, particularly while reading Court and Vic’s feeds.  They both have some of the best blogging tips I’ve come across, but they mention having a number of different niche sites that they set up and run.  While I’m looking at getting into creating a few [...]

Don’t Worry About Getting Your Post Up First

Date January 8, 2008

A lot of people, when they come across a bit of news online, think, “OMG I have to get this posted RIGHT NOW!”, and they don’t take the time to find out if what they read is even at all true, let alone accurate.
And that’s one of the things that can really hurt the credibility [...]

Take A Day Off And Go Do Something Else

Date January 7, 2008

No matter how well you structure your blogging schedule, you’re eventually going to run up against a wall where you just don’t feel like posting. Note that this is a different wall where you draw a complete blank when it’s time to write something. That’s an entirely different after school special, and one [...]

A Second Month Review of BloggingNotes.net

Date January 6, 2008

A month ago I posted my stats and information on what I’d gone through in writing my first month of BloggingNotes. While the site has still experienced a great amount of growth, it has slowed down a little, which may be due to it being the holiday season and all. I guess time [...]
