WebSighting #9

Good ol’ agent CSSBeauty recently delivered another astounding report. With the weekend only few hours away, we’re going to switch back into fun mode and enjoy this later sighting. Even its name just sounds fun.

Everyone, let’s give a big great hello to..*kuchi-kuchi-koo*..oops, let me rephrase that. Let us all applaud these Swiss designers from Designchuchi.

I actually just found out that .ch Top Level Domains (TLDs) are from Switzerland. Anyway, let’s have some fun.

Path of The Problogger – Design

I’d just like to be clear right here first, there is NO ‘perfect’ design for any website or weblog. If there was such a thing, many clients wouldn’t actually need to revamp their websites anymore.

With that cleared out from the atmosphere allow me to express gratitude to whoever that have been reading my blog. I understand there are the read and too shy to comment readers, the ones who use feeders, and the highly appreciated visitors who’ve dropped in and commented on my articles. I thank you for visiting me from time to time.

I’d also like to explain that designs are a subjective matter, therefore what I say here might be based on my own personal opinions. But I still hope a thing or two might be learnt later.

Your excitement suddenly disappears into cyberspace and your cheerful smile flips over to a huge frown with frustration. As you might’ve guessed it, your domain has been registered by someone else.

Referrals Equals Money

What I’ve learned from SitePoint is that though everyone wishes to earn a quick buck through referrals, everyone still wouldn’t mind accepting gifts instead of cold hard cash. As mentioned by Andrew, it’s not so much of paying the referral but cultivating the referrals for their help in your business.

When you approach a potential partner or affiliate, it’s not advisable to demand a commission if he/she hasn’t thought of it. Not only is it non-professional but the moment you ask for a commission directly, it’s as if you’re being really desperate for money.

TextPattern for Dummies

Textpattern is one of the other famous publishing engines used by many around the world. The first time I heard about it, I got it mixed up with MovableType for some reason. I suppose it’s because it sounded close to TypePad. *shrug*

Path of The Problogger – Content

This is the second episode of my slow series documenting the path of the problogger through my personal views. The first was about monetizing your blog via Google’s Adsense that you can find via Path of The Problogger – Adsense. As much as everyone wants to make ‘easy money’ via their blogs, the other part that powers the engine of the blog is the content.

In this chapter, I realize that content is a really general topic to be discussing on but because my power of copy isn’t as great as some, I decided to cover things like scheduled blogging, good content, original content, copy-n-paste content and others that come to my mind later.
