The Moneys
Ads are back. This can only mean a good thing, because that means I’m making a conscientious effort to actually write something that’s of value.
I’m currently messing with three different sources for making a bit of money on the side with the blog:
- Google Adsense: One ad per single.php, for more focused targetting
- Amazon Affiliates: Omakase, for now. I may want to make the JKStore a big more accessible soon.
- Text-Link-Ads: Not sure how this works just yet.
Online Identity
Finally added more interaction with Twitter. Not sure if people were really wanting it, but I kinda wanted to do this for a long while.
I ended up just putting up links to Flickr and Twitter under /etc/ for now. I would like to lifestream like I did before, but I don’t know if that’ll actually be useful… or maybe a project I’m working on will obviate that anyway. And plus, I suck at this server admin stuff: I tried for a few minutes the lifestream wordpress plugin (which seems amazing), and I almost had a heart attack that the server was going to go down again.
Posting Schedule
I have this general feeling that I’m going to do more personal posts during the weekends, and more interesting and relevant posts during the weekday. I kinda want to make sure that I post something really beefy on Sunday night, kind of as a weekly deadline for something in-depth.
Don’t hold me to any of this. This is just me thinking out loud like I normally do. (And, as some will notice, I won’t be linking this on a tweet.)
Look/Feel
Back to the redness. Oh, how I’ve missed you.
Started adding new tabs to the navigation. Not sure exactly what’ll end up here.
Blah blah blah
I’m hungry. Working on the blog for 4 hours straight is pretty fun, but very draining.
Wondering if you’ve thought about doing different “editions.” I.e., different feeds for the different types of posts you write. You always seem a bit apprehensive about posting the more personal, “useless” stuff on the blog. This way, you can still have everything go on the blog and be a part of joshkim.org, but let people choose between an everything feed and a sans-JKness feed.
If you decide to stick to that posting schedule, you could call it the weekend edition even. =P
There’s something good about having a separate blog for the more “personal” posts, but whenever I try to draw that line, I end up getting confused. Why not go all out and have a separate feed per topic, even?
But really, when I mean “personal”, I’m going to be applying it to something more useful for everyone. I don’t intend to write any more of those… really thinly veiled metaphorical foolishness.
Well, I think you’re just succumbing to your “extreme” tendencies. Two or three feeds are fine. Just draw the line there.
