Flipping Sites
I think the thing that depresses me the most about flipping sites is that there are only about 10 common formats. Forums, blogs, splogs, image upload etc. There isn’t anything really new out there. So I’m trying to develop something at least a bit unique. It’s a community site but not a forum. I’ve been developing it with the Zend Framework since Monday and I’m really pleased with how it’s going. I’ll give you one clue – it’s related to sin…
I don’t have much else to say really at the minute. Oh! I got my new computer! It’s a beast. 4GB of ram and a Core Duo. It’s brilliant for developing with. The monitor is the sex too. I should really take a picture of it.
Being yourself
It seems as though you need to be yourself to succeed with blogging. Ha! I’ve found the reverse to be true. Take More Risks has been a complete failure compared to some of my other blogs where I’ve adopted a ludicrous identity. I’m not listening to gurus anymore. Or reading any e-books. I’m tired of reading blogs about making money. It’s like eating money instead of buying food with the cash and eating the real food.
It’s all fucking boring. If I read about ALGOCO one more time I swear I’ll boot the fucking cat.
And On Gurus
My biggest mistake was holding any guru in esteem. Anyone can make it that level or past it, it’s really just about finding what you are good at. Or better, what you enjoy. If I’ve learnt anything in the last year it’s that you need to go out on your own and make your own mistakes. Become your own guru.
And from now on I’m never typing the word guru in this blog again. If I do, comment on the post and I’ll give you $50 via Paypal.
And no, I’m not drunk and I haven’t lost the plot.

LOL, Calm down bro !
) but following what they may say is really SOMETHINGness. (I couldn’t find a suitable word to use.)
Take it easy
We’re mostly tired of these words like G…(beeep).
Personally It took me 2 years and lots of money just to realize I’m in an endless loop going nowhere and to find out actually I’m not playing, I’m being played with.
Using others experience is nice and reduces the risk (take less risk
BTW good luck with your new machine.

Great entry. I like your true thoughts about how you really feel rather than to sugarcoat it for the readers. It gives your blog substance.

Screw the gurus! I’m with you on that, although I have to talk about them on my blog if I want to make them look bad

I know you may be sick of my comments on your posts but just wondered why did you stop posting.
Just take a look at your site stats and see the great traffic you have even after a period without update. Isn’t it a success ?
Anyway don’t let it die, you will regret in future. just my idea.

4GB of RAM? Man what do you do with a PC so powerful? I build servers that don’t even have that much pulling juice.
Why do you think this has become a failure? Looks good to me and I like your style of writing.
Aye I know what you mean about more success with a ludicrous identity on another blog. Some of my best spinners are not actually me. I just wish more people would make comments on Shelia’s handbag blog rather than my SEO blog.
Sorry it has taken me so long in finding out about this blog. Just spotted you on DP selling that cat one. Whatever you do, dont stop this blog.
