Just a quick post explaining the new look of the site.

I’m working on customizing WP Designer’s Greed for TBW. You’ll see all the regular pages as well as Amanda’s old pages. I will be working on them as well. I apologize in advance for the clutter.

Hello,

You may have noticed that I lack a bit of interest in the area of “making money blogging”. Amanda said basically everything there was to say about it, in my opinion, and that’s why she let it go..

I had an idea today and I’m going to research and work on writing it up. Then I will go around and comment to others whose sites I enjoy in the hopes they may come visit me and comment back honestly. By honestly, I mean that I hope they won’t just comment back for the dofollow link.

If this entry gets a good response, I’ll know I’m on the right track and I’ll keep going with it. If it doesn’t, I’ll know this isn’t for me and I will pass the domain along to someone who can to better with it.

I wanted to state my intentions for those of you who may have noticed I haven’t had the inspiration to keep up with blogging as I wanted to and as you expected. Thanks for your interest guys.

VPS Hosting is a great way to go dedicated without the price of a dedicated server. I decided to get a dedicated server because I wanted root access and I wanted full control over my software. However, with only 10 sites, a full dedicated server is probably overkill. Especially if you don’t want to have to manage the server yourself.

A Virtual Private Server is where a server administrator splits root access between multiple clients. Using Virtuozzo you can see all the server information including resource usage for your account. Virtuozzo is great behind the scenes as well, because it allows your site to stay up even if another client is over using their resources.

Network Solutions has just released their VPS Hosting with the Plesk control panel. Their smallest package gives you a whopping 10GB space and 500GB of bandwidth for only $50 per month. I pay $170 per month for my dedicated server and will probably never use that much space or bandwidth. Their largest VPS package has as much space and bandwidth as my server and still only costs $100 per month.

If you’re looking to go dedicated without the cost, it is a great alternative. If you’ve heard bad things about VPS hosting (downtime and slow servers) please keep in mind that this is Network Solutions, a very reputable company. They have the resources to keep their services up and working well.

Hey everyone, sorry for the little disappearing act. There’s been a lot going on personally and professionally that have made my blogs pretty much nonexistant. The only thing I managed to do was to keep up with my weekly weight loss journal on my mommy blog.

I’ve got a lot coming up, though. I sat down and picked some brains, including the old owner of this site, and made a large list of topics to post on. This will help me in a number of ways, but mostly to keep me updating daily, as you’re all used to. I spoke with Amanda, the old owner ov TBW, about the topics on this blog and she explained to me that it was a bit more broad than I had realized. It’s not just about making money from your blog, but from any website you own or pretty much anything you can do online and make money. That helps me a lot because it raises the limits of what I can accomplish on this blog. She’ll be guest blogging her soon as well.

One of the things I’ve found around other blogs was people complaining about how Amanda seemed to brag about the money she was making online, though the purpose of the blog was kind of for it to be a case study for her to learn the best ways to make money and then tell others how to do it as well. So my question to you is, would you want me to list this information for you? Let me know how you feel about that, please.
