PayPerPost.com Forums are Live
Although I am probably less forgiving than I should be, how come it took them so long to create forums? In addition to taking an extended amount of time to install the simple phpBB script, it's also naked. You'd think an upstanding company such as PPP would invest in skinning their forum...or perhaps this can be another opportunity!
If I were to be setting on the board of directors at PPP, I'd consider offering a large sum of cash to the individual that created a skin for their forums. I say this, knowing that I have trouble with MSPaint, so I'm out of the running, but it would be interesting to see.
Instead of classifying the contest as an opportunity, it could be exactly that...a contest. If they placed enough money on the line they would earn all kinds of interesting backlinks from blogs and other webdeveloper sites, seems to be a win/win. However, this is just my opinion, that and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee....at my house.
New Theme
To be honest, I was feeling a little suffocated within the boundaries of the last theme that I used. The full percentage layout just did not fit my writing style, ie short. It seemed like I had to write an entire 2 pages before it looked right on the screen and that's not what I'm all about. 
Hopefully you will enjoy this layout and find it easier on the eyes and easier to follow. Thanks to GFXedit.com for the theme and I hope this one sticks for a little longer. No complaining, at least I'm still updating.
Rated-NC17
Finding noteworthy blogs can be a daunting task, often times great blogs wither and die because of no traffic. This simple concept is the reason I started Rated-NC17.
NC17 will be managed with the sole purpose to hunt out lesser known blogs or sites that I find interesting or of value. Just because your site gets listed on NC17, does not mean it's not popular. If it gets listed it just means your not an A-Lister. 
But who wants to be one of those anyways.
Technorati can keep their high rollers, John Scott had the right idea, lets start showing some link love. ....and don't wear a link condom.
Read your Akismet
Akismet for Wordpress is an absolutely beautiful thing that keeps your posts clean of spam comments. However, it is a double sided sword that can keep quality comments out as well. I have experienced this first hand on a friends blog.
I have never left spam of any sorts in my life, however my IP was login and IP was flagged as such by the Akismet system. Apparently, I'm not the only one that has experienced this either, a quick search will yield others that have had the same problem. Therefore, all blog owners, manage your Akismet que, you might find some useful things in there.
TorrentFreak Added to Roll
Just happened upon a new blog tonight while doing the dead-man surf, which is the zombie like state I'm in before going to bed. The blog in question is TorrentFreak and has been added to my blogroll for my visitors to consume.
While perusing my favorite tags over at Technorati I found the article How The PirateBay Raid Changed Sweden and it caught me off guard. Mainly because the effects of p2p stretch much further than our wallets, social networking online, and our struggle with archaic(sp?) law.
Thanks for the recap TorrentFreak.
Everyone check out My Wii
Hello everyone, as in 1 or 2 people, just wanted to let you know about my new gaming blog. The blog is 100% dedicated to the upcoming next-gen console, the Nintendo Wii.
Stop by, comment, and let me know what you think.
‘Smoking Keyboard’ TPB Blog
Found out that Mikael Viborg of The Pirate Bay setup a blog to chronicle the alleged raids that happened a few weeks ago. After reading through his entries it's still hard to tell what is fact or what is fiction. Or more importantly what's exaggerated.
The comment that I took away from the entire blog was his reference to the 'smoking keyboard'. This was citing the fact that officers raided his home, not just the hosting grounds, and confiscated all the electronic equipment in his home. Mikael also noted the value his microphone must have in an investigation dealing with copyright infringement.
Anyone down for Blogging
Blogging has been a fad for too many years now, so what is it? Is it a virus, is it useful, or is it just another way to force people to listen to what you have to say? It really doesn't matter, but something that every new blogger runs into is finding people to actually visit their blog. That's right, I'm talking traffic and lots of it.
If you need help finding traffic, then I suggest checking out BlogMad. Through BlogMad you simply view other peoples blogs and as such you earn a credit. For every credit you have you can use it to 'buy' views to your blog. Neat concept and fun to do, I found some friends on that network and some enemies. Nevertheless, it's worth a peak if you haven't already.
