My how the time flies when you’re having fun! Another year gone. I sometimes wonder about the passing of time and the challenges we face. As far as years go this one has been a bitch! You have no idea. I wouldn’t live it again for any amount of money. I sometimes wonder about how much challenge one is expected to handle over time.
I’ve had a good year Blogging though! I’ve loved doing this. It would be great if I could make a living at it. However, monies come from the technical side of things and this really is my strong suit. And the demands for my time continue to mount when it comes to the techie stuff.
This is to be my last post for the year. I’m taking down Bloggers Market.com in about 18 hours from now. I’ll be back of course on the 1st of January 2011. Things will be very different though. I will only be posting about once a week and I will be working over at Blogging Extreme as my main base of operation. I’ll also be doing a lot more guest posting on other Blogging sites.
Until we meet again, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! God Bless Everyone.










The Magic Of Comment Spam
This post kinda hit me at the right moment. I just got through going through my spam folder here at Bloggers Market.com. It would really be nice if everyone involved with Blogging had a Gravatar, but they don’t. I hate to discard anyone who really wants to comment on the Blog yet gets caught in the vortex of the funnel that is “Akismet“.
I dutifully go through each and every comment in my Blogs Spam file, at least up until this point. I’m slowly losing momentum. I have so much to do that I just can’t justify the time any longer. If I had as many real comments as spam comments I’d be ruling the world. However there is gold in them-there-hills.
If you look closely at some of these sites that are spamming you, you will notice that some of these sites have a treasure trove of information on their sites that you can mine for your own uses. You’ll have to use your imagination here.
I’ll be releasing new rules for my comments section in the future. I should have them in place by now, but I was hoping against hope that I would not have to do this. I’ll continue to mine for gold of course. I’ll just have to adapt a hit or miss strategy. After all, I think that’s what Gold mining was all about for the 49′ers back in the old days.
