The Bushed Blogger

Gutted Buidling

Well time has slipped by since my last post. Kinda not what I had in mind, but there it is. I have plenty to write about of course …… just no time to get my thoughts in-line before another posting deadline. Sooo ……. in the interest of the search engines looking for something to index here I am to give an update.

As you can probably tell this is pretty jumbled, but it gives some sort of idea has to how stressful the past 45 days has been. I’ve been knocking it down about 18 hours to the day, and I’ll have to admit that the wick is burned. I have built 5 new Blogs upgraded 1 and have repaired a super serious database break in another 9. (don’t ask – don’t tell) I’m not really sure that I can tell you what the problem was. I just realized that after not being able to upgrade WordPress or Export or Import any database tables, I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY RISKS. I just re-built the whole thing, one by one.

Now that my work is done, it feels great …… kinda. I still have 5 websites that I mange and almost all need attention, but I’m just too burned to do anything right now. I’m afraid that I have neglected them so that I might be able to spend more time Blogging.

Sitting here thinking about the way of the future is a challenge. I need to update Blogging 2010 and I’m still working with “WordPress Secrets”. I’ve written about the other projects that are on the drawing board at one time or another here and all of those are still in the mix. Most all are small to medium projects while I have one huge project in mind.

Just call me the hardest working Blogger Online ……… or “The Bushed Blogger” is more like it!   :roll:

The Needle In The Haystack

Needle In A Haystack

It’s a rough day here in the south. Rainy, a little cold …… raw. I’m in to the year-end thing I wrote about a week ago. I’m thinking about and working for next year now. No real organized effort to educate the public. I’m afraid you’ll have to read my past posts. Today ………….. well, today, I’m just thinking out loud.

Very seldom do I take this Blog in a personal direction. But with the end of the year upon us ………. why not.

I was thinking about my readership and the way of the future for myself and well as the Internet marketer and their Blogs. I couldn’t help notice that Frank Kern has a new Blog, maybe website would be a better description. I can remember when I started down this road and heard about Frank Kern taking the world by storm with “List Control” I had to get to know this person, only to find out that he had closed all his Internet marketing sites and was only taking private clients. Great I thought, right when I find the hottest thing in Internet Marketing, he decides to fold and move to the Caribbean (San Diego actually).

I’ve got this uneasy feeling about the big guns coming and going, while I steadily go bow-legged and blind trying to keep up my Blogs. The kings of the Internet always seem to be absent from the Internet some how. I wonder if in the long run that will be my fate.

I like Blogging. I like my Blogs. However, I’m making my monies elsewhere. I really want to be a Blogger. I not so sure that I like the idea of David Risley’s “Hamster Wheel” though. That thought took me in another direction ………. thinking about all the Hamster ……. err, Blogs in the world. What a monster we have created. Everyone wants to be a writer or Blogger as the case my be. With the easy access of the Internet, the whole world now has a voice. The only problem I’m afraid, is not enough readers.

No one reads, everyone writes. Very few prosper.

I like to read. I just can’t find what I am looking for on the Internet. I follow about 70 Blogs for the time being and I can count the ones that I really enjoy reading on both hands. That’s one of the reasons that I try to stick to the technical parts of Blogging as opposed to being a bore with my chatter.

So much noise and not enough readers. With a bazillion Blogs now on the Internet, it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack …………. or sandbox.

The Backend Of Your Plug-In

Picture Of Gears

Breaking news, E-Mail, Online Banking, Blogs, Cool Websites, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Files, Folders, Operating Systems, Browsers, Plug-Ins ………… this list will go on until the end of time, this you can bet on. It’s what they call the pace of technology. It makes me crazy sometimes!

By the time I call it a day, week, month, my desktop is a mess! I can’t tell you which Plug-In is the one you will need, I’ve long since lost tract of all the downloads and versions.

Remember this: Honing your craft of being a Professional Blogger and passing those skills on to someone else is a unique art. Take only what you need and can manage. This might also be good advice for the products that you intend on offering to your market.

Keep things pleasantly simple for yourself as well as others. This will illustrate your personal power and strength of craft ……….. and will be much appreciated.
