If you’ve been following my twitter feed, you will know that I have got loads and loads of ideas for this blog. Including over 52 post ideas (not including news, etc.)

Having learned so much more over these past few months, I can now see how my own theme, and blog is not as search engine friendly as it could be, is messy, and loads too slowly.

I am going to take a break. Might update every now and again, but am really going to be focusing much of my time on making a new theme, setting up private advertising, creating a great “about me” page, and also a “Web Services” page.

I don’t know how long it will be before this new theme is completed, but all I can promise is as soon as possible and probably around the same time as the new wordpress (2.7) is launched because that will be a nice change too.

I would really like to know your thoughts on the colors. Do you like the black and red? Or would you prefer different colors?

Black and Red is quite unusual, but I am not sure if I like it anymore. What do you think?

P.S

I made a stupid mistake the day before yesterday and published a post named “Sunday Link Luv” when I meant to save it instead. It was just 3 links to posts for me to consider using. Sorry about that. I will try not to do it again :)

Just a quick note to say that I have now published an “about” comic for my new web platform, Monkey Answers.

Basically, monkey answers is:

Twitter + Forums + Yahoo Answers + Ojo + Code + More = Monkey Answers!

You can sign up today to be notified of the release.

Enjoy! :)

Intype is a free text editor that you can download from www.intype.info.

The main thing that really separates Intype from most other Windows text editors is snippets. Read the rest of this entry »

Especially now I have started another blog, www.protwitter.net, this blog of mine has really been neglected. I have been finding it really hard to think of new content ideas, and haven’t got any plans or goals and I think it is just about time that I do something about it and get some.

Google webmaster central just posted a recap of their live sesssion chat session.

Unfortunate there is no audio.

Last but not least, we are bummed to admit that someone (whose name starts with ‘A’ and ends with ‘M’) uncharacteristically forgot to hit the record button (really!), so there’s unfortunately no audio recording to share :-(.
