No Such Thing as an Easy Buck
I’ve given site-wide ads a trial run, trying to generate some revenue using various means, but little has come of it. It would seem either my site is just not specific enough, or my content is too dull/boring for people to be interested in perusing pages and clicking ads. Even still, I thought I’d share the low-down on the results for any who are interested or curious.
Yasu Development Weblog
I’ve created at a new “devlog” over at jimmitchell.wordpress.com where I plan to make announcements, comments and calls for help pertaining to the development of Yasu 2.0, which is going to kick into high gear after I return from my mini-vacation with the family early next week.
If you’re a user and interested in helping shape the future of the next version, then click on over to the new site and add it to your RSS feeds. I’ll be posting the majority of development related news there, instead of here, since it’s going to be a whirlwind of activity.
Another Fresh New Look
I’ve slapped yet another a new theme together for my site (as you can see). This one is for my own consumption (sorry - it’s not going public), but I will be basing my upcoming contest entry on the structure of it. For the most part, it’s done. I’ve just got to tweak some things for the Flickr RSS plug-in, but otherwise, it’s golden as they say.
Just a quick little aside; I purchased Mint a couple of days ago more on a whim than anything else. I liked the way it looked and thought it’d be a nice little addition to how I keep track of my stats. What I didn’t expect was, with a little extra Pepper added, the package was able to replace ALL methods of how I was watching downloads, Feedburner, searches, referrers; Everything! If you run a site of your own and aren’t really happy with how hard you have to work to keep track of your numbers, you really should give Mint a look-see. You’ll be impressed I guarantee.
