Timing is everything!
What a time to be offline when I have seen so many familiar faces...like on facebook!Ah well, never mind as I am trying to get online asap I will catch up. ;o)
What have I missed then?
Anything new happening?
Sorry it has been a while since I wrote, will start doing more and more often.
Surprised by all those I see on facebook, faces I have not seen in 20 years...in some cases!
That long?
Sheesh...time flies!
Back soon!! ;o)

Isolation not ignorance.
Some of you have been using facebook etc to contact me... I am not ignoring them, it's the library using limited filters and IE 6 stopping me using them.Nice to see old friends on the social sites...even ex girlfriends from um... 15 years or more ago! ;o)
Shows how the net really has made the world a smaller place, never thought I would hear again from some of the people I have.
Been a great thing to see how people have changed and where the path they chose lead them to.
Still trying to get back online at home so I am looking forward to really catching up with some people when I am.
Have I missed anything of note on here?
Not sure, been focused on getting other areas of life sorted out and set me up for the right start in 2008... I mean 2007 shot by!
I am looking forward to 2008 for a few reasons. :o)
So how are you all?

"Not quite there"
Still waiting to be connected up...nevertheless the wait will be worth it I know.Not alot of good news to share with blogrush then?...Oh well.
My dashboard is not quite up to usable for me yet!
I do miss the communities I have been into, and wonder what you are all up to online and hoping the blogs and sites are still picking up for you. ;o)
Whats happening out there then? Anything I missed?

"Blogrush any good then?"
Well I am still waiting to be reconnected at home, so while here at the library I had a look at blogrush....still not improved much for me as such, my dashboard is no help!Has anyone seen any significant improvements?
Has your traffic improved?
Has your dashboard improved?
What have I been missing out online lately then?
Not much I hope...
The break has been nice, a chance to catch up on the real life we have...yeah that one...offline! ;o)
The fact I am less active at the moment gives me a good idea of what blogrush is sending me at my worse... ;o)
So, having that as a basis when I get back to being more active I can see where the improvements will happen.
Not holding much hope for it to be honest.
How is it all working out for you lot?

"Amassed clutter, of gold?"
Not getting to the library often enough at the moment, even so I am limited at the library with the filters etc in place on here, it likes msn but not google?Anyway, I had an interesting time going through my pc while not online, in other words not "diverted" by the net, being the distraction it is. :o)
I can't believe what I have on my pc...way to much of it and some things are junk to put it nicely, but also found some gems that I hadn't really got round to reading, letting it sit in a "to do" folder. :o)
The amount of good PLR work I have is coming in handy for creating new things...all of which I can build up for getting online asap...but without being distracted half way through as is often the case.
Nice to have sorted and cluttered, started re-planning things, adding new ideas into the mix too.
Connections I hadn't yet seen until sorting the PC out.
Things I have that compliment each other etc. :o)
Getting there....slowly, but DO need to get back online at home asap.
What is on your PC?
Have a gems you forgot about?

"A lesson to learn"
Sly membership site owners who fail to STOP trying to take money when the membership was cancelled due to lack of quality!Yes you KNOW who you are...it seems that I NEVER went over a limit at the bank, this sly membership owner tried to take out money from my paypal AFTER I had cancelled it, the money I had paid in to cover the connection hadn't quite got there and this meant the bank bounced that payment the sly one tried to get...giving
ME a charge.
I am onto the bank for it and have emailed paypal.
I am tempted to name the person, but will refrain at the moment.
It's someone people seem to think is "a guru", to me they are just a sly greedy swine.
Hopefully I will be back online as soon as possible though I have to claim the charges back and have no idea how long that will take!
Talking of membership sites...
They can be a great "residual income" if done well...that is the key, it has to be worth sticking to.
Piss people off and they will leave your membership site in droves.
Overdeliver and you will have a great residual income that should continue for as long as you deliver...not only that, if done well you will ALWAYS have someone ready to fill a slot that someone leaves, should they leave that is. ;o)
If this interest you, you should check out what I would say is probably the easiest and best way to create a membership site of your own.
Why would you want one?
Well if you can imagine say 500 people paying you a fee of for example £20 a month...surely you would be happy with that? £10,000 a month?! :o)
More so if something you are passionate about and know you can create something that WILL be in demand in your niche.
Check out empro and see if it is suitable for you and your niche...even if it's not the site should spark some ideas for you. ;o)
Sounds good eh?
Well as long as you keep on top of things unlike the sly one who tried to rip me off! ;o)

"Dam greedy banks"
Done it again, ripping me off with charges...costing me my connection..yet again!Have had enough of the hassle from them.
I am astonished at the greed they show.
I went £2 over my limit...that's 4 dollars, and got a bloody charge which has wiped out what I had for my connection!
Bastards.
I am now going to write another letter to the bank to sort this out.
Meanwhile, looks like I am back the library like I am now writing this.
I am sick of the stress and hassle of struggling.
I will be on here as much as possible while waiting for that to sort out.
If I can do a review, or sell a few things from here it may help.
I will NOT let the banks get away with that sort of greed.
As usual shit customer service!

"Stumbleupon stats"
Stumbleupon DOES work and works very well. Here is a snapshot I have done of this blogs traffic when it is stumbled. :o)I have not worked out how to cut the the white space from the bottom of this using the paint program which I did this in, so if anyone can advise me there I would be grateful. :o)
As you can see over 600 hits to one post in one day, thank you stumblers, but each post that is stumbled gives an average of well over 200 hits in a day, JUST from stumbleupon that is.
I am very happy using stumbleupon, there it is, I USE it, not just join and hope!
Maki...of dosh dosh makes a great post on stumbleupon which you should check out, it's explained better than I could do it. :o)
Another great bonus to being a stumbler is you get to find some great blogs and sites you would otherwise never see.
Stumbleupon is much better than people assume it to be.
It is not hard to use, it has a great community that is very diverse.
If you like to stumble this post, go ahead. ;o)
If you have yet to utilise stumbleupon get cracking as you will enjoy it as well as reap the benefit of traffic.
Check out my profile on stumbleupon.
It is I think the best and fastest way to drive traffic to a newer blog.
