Trying To Make Money Blogging

I don’t normally do news posts, but switching themes kind of got me in the mood.

New Design
I’ve switched themes for the third and final time. The revolution magazine theme I was using was really boring. It’s great if you use it for what it’s intended for, a magazine style blog. But if you turn it in to a standard blog, it’s a bit dull. In fact, the Revolution theme theme got so boring I would fall asleep almost every time I started proof reading my posts. The theme I’m using now is actually a free theme. I’ve made a few changes to the design and I’ve messed around with the sidebar. I’m pretty happy with it. I was going to pay someone to design me a custom theme, but this design is more or less what I would have asked for. So I’ve probably saved myself about $200.

Backing Myself Up
As you probably know, you should always keep a decent amount of draft posts ready for emergencies. So, I’ve spent most of this evening writing up draft posts for when I’m running on empty. I’ve created 8 in total. They’re not fully completed posts, but if I do get stuck for something to post, these should hopefully get me out the shit. If you’re stuck at the moment? Here’s a few of the drafts I’ve written tonight. Not in full of course. But they might help you think of something to write.

This is a post about why people love blogging about ”make money online” so much.

Contest
I’ve also been looking at running some kind of contest. Nothing huge, but the prize should be decent and I can promise you now, it wont be 300 entrecard credits and you wont have to sign up to my rss. I hate rss, I never use it, so I don’t see the point in flaunting it all over my blog. And I’m not going to promote something I don’t use myself or like. I do have an rss feed for people to subscribe to, but that’s just because some people like them. I like to cater for all tastes.
