Well I did It

You know like 2 months ago or so, I said that I would change this website to look cool, or something along those lines. Well I finally did it, and now you can all stop your complaining. Ok, well there really wasn’t that much complaining at all, because there really aren’t that many readers any more. Apparently when you stop posting, people get fed up and find another place to feed their voyeuristic needs. Seriously, whomever was following me because you thought I was interest? Well send me an email because I owe you a beer.

So anyway, I finally found some time to get on the old blog and churn out some creative goodness. Not sure how long this is going to last, but it’s going to happen every now and again, just not as often as I’d like. Hey what can I say, I’ve got other websites to support, and those actually make money. In fact I can’t say that I’ve ever made any money off of this site.

Well I’m out of shape from typing this whole thing, so I better rest and get back to what it was that I was doing before this momentary lack of non-production. So here’s to getting back to it.

Day Job Updates

Like I told you earlier in the week, my goal was to work on the new website a little bit at a time, but working on it enough to get things finished. Well like any good soldier I got a little more completed this week, and still found time to write for my other blogs.

First lets start with what I completed on the dayjobkilling.com site:

  • Syndication feeds are now working
  • I enabled the Archive section. Right now month only since there are only two months of content.
  • I also created my own templatetag for the listing of categories. Categories now show up in the sidebar and are updated dynamically when a new Category is added in the admin.
  • Testing.

Day Job almost finished

I’m in the process of finishing up the Day Job Killing website that’s been resurrected due to all the email I got about publishing an eBook centered around the subject of ecommerce. I decided to build the blog using of course Django and a new css framework called emastic. Both fit together really nicely. To find out more about the DJK website, you can go to the website to find out more. What I thought I would do here is detail the pieces I have finished and what I plan to do to complete the site.

Completed:

  • Simple structured website with minimal design elements.
  • Post detail page with navigation.
  • Commenting functionality.
  • Ad placement section.
  • Google Analytics code.

I decided to Cronicle my story

Many of you may already know that I’ve worked hard on creating multiple streams of income for the past several years now. Finally I’ve got something to show for it and I’ve decided to share those techniques. There is a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but basically I think I’ve done a good job in creating enough passive income to fire my boss! Unless of course my boss is reading this :)

Now I’m not telling you that I’ve got all the answers, because I don’t, but what I do have is some successful ways in which you can supplement your income without breaking the bank. What I mean is that usually it costs money to make money, which I have found to be true, however the most important part is how to spend less money to generate more money. That’s really the key to great success.

I haven’t totally decided yet

As usual my projects seem to be stacking up, but that’s a good thing right? With so much interest in Content Management and that ability for companies to hire contractors to replace their laid off employees, it’s caused a real spike in additional work for me. No I’m not complaining, I’m just saying there is enough work now to keep me busy. Real busy.

So I got thinking about this whole webdesign business I’ve gotten myself into, and it’s become extremely clear to me that I’ve spent far more time making others look pretty than I have making myself look pretty. Oh and, how many Wordpress themes have I created for others, yet I still can’t create one for myself. Well things are changing. I’m now going to add my own style this puppy and I’m really going to dump it down.
