New look, slightly new direction
| As I mentioned the other day, I'm making a few changes here, and they're not all cosmetic. Probably the most significant change is that I'm broadening the spectrum here a bit to include topics on organization and motivation, as well as health & wellness. The emphasis will still remain on finances, but these topics are all inextricably linked for me, so it doesn't really make sense not to include them. They're also all things I've only recently begun to get a handle on in any significant way. Yay for finally turning into a functional grown-up! Or beginning to get there, at any rate. The other thing, which you've probably noticed, is the ads. As part of the whole "growing up and getting a handle on my finances" initiative I'm chronicalling here, I'm going to experiment with generating some extra revenue from this blog that I can apply toward paying off my debts and building up my savings. I don't expect to pull in much in the beginning, and I'll probably experiment with different things to see how they work. One thing I plan to do once this blog is eligible is sign it up for paid blogging services. I'll post an official disclaimer when the time comes, but I can promise you now that I'll only accept promotion opportunities that are of relevance to this blog's content and that are interesting enough that I'd be happy to blog about them anyway, and that I won't accept any that require a positive review that I can't provide in all honesty. With that in mind, if paid blogging morally offends you, well then, congratulations. You're a better person than I am, and you probably don't want to read anything I have to say anyway. That's about it, really. I like this shiny new layout, although I wish I could find a pretty 3-column layout that worked in Blogger. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to designing my own. In the meantime, I'm pretty happy with this one, so thanks to Gecko & Fly for providing it. Other than all that, it's business as usual (barring that whole two month hiatus where nothing happened here, and by the way, sorry about that). I still welcome discussion and comments, so please don't be shy! Labels: extra income, site maintenance |
