I'm really happy to release my latest theme, an affiliate template for Serendipity. Bloggers who are looking for a simple to use template with built-in support for affiliate banners will really love this template.

The template features a sidebar that can be swapped from left to right, or deleted, all within the admin screen, no need to edit any HTML. Also, at the bottom of the template are three plugin columns, ideal for blog rush, mybloglog, recent comments, recent entries, shoutboxes etc. Read More

Being the kind of people we are, owning a TV is something that seems to have slipped us by, instead we use our third laptop with a USB TV receiver, but it needs to be reasonably close to be able to enjoy the view, and of course the sound is woeful.

So today we went looking for a new TV. Well we didn't buy one, primarily because we took one look at LCD TV's available and couldn't help being drawn to the Plasma TV's over the other side of the salesroom. Sure they're a tad more expensive but the model we like has a superb screen and great sounding speakers. Unfortunately they don't just stand on a platform, they kinda need to be attached to the wall.

Promoting a blog and building your traffic momentum is both the easiest and hardest thing in the world to do. I started working on this site about two and a half years ago I think, and it's done really well considering I haven't really tried to promote it, except through my templates, but all of that is about to change. Keep reading to find out what I'm doing and why it's working.

For the longest time this blog has pretty much done nothing for me. Sorry, I take that back. My blog has given a lot, to me and to the community I'm part of, I've enjoyed working on it, I love working on templates, and I can't believe how lucky I've been with other website projects that collectively generate a decent full-time income.

So you might wonder, what is my point, and when am I going to get to it. Ok, I'm going to share some of the things I'm doing that help drive traffic, and I'm going to keep doing this in future entries. This means that you will be able to see how I've got this site indexed in the search engines, and how I generate traffic, and you will be able to emulate this on your own blog. Read More

I've had an interesting email conversation with another user who wants to get started on the path to being recognised as a Serendipity template designer, and more importantly, then wants to be able to monetize this hobby.

Rather than keep this conversation hidden away out of site I thought I'd publicise some of it, hopefully it will encourage other users to start developing templates. Let's assume you've got your template finished, how do you promote it? Read More

A friend of mine is putting on weight (Oh OK, maybe it's me), and according to a body mass index calculator I found online it seems I may be packing a few more kilos than I should, nothing really dangerous but definitely needing some attention.

Anyway I'd been thinking about toning up again, but I don't have the time to get out much right now, maybe in a few months, so I was thinking of a home gym and then someone suggested punch bags might be a better option and it gives you a good workout. Read More
