Leo Loves Trains

27 Mar

Hello Everyone,

I know I haven’t been as active on this blog as I was a few years ago but a lot has happen since then and life just gets away from you sometimes. I’ll still try to get a few marketing articles posted, I have a few in moderation but they still need a little editing. I’m going to start posting small updates about my son Leo, his mom has been posting stuff since before the pregnancy; you can read her blog here.

So without further adieu, here is the addition to the Leo category.

Leo is really doing great, he’s had several big transitions lately like; getting a big boy bed, potty training, moving up in school to the pre-school class. The potty training is the biggest thing I’m most proud of! I had him all weekend and he would let me know when he needed to go, then take care of everything himself. I can’t tell you how excited I am to knock out the diaper expense every month. We’ll still need some for nap time and at night for a little while longer, but we’re done during the day.

Green Tourmaline Crystals

02 Mar

I’m going to kick off a new category on my blog called Gemstones. I’ve always been a fan of Gemstones; my father got me into them when I was very young. I’ve been to several “rock and gem” shows, as well as several “Stamp and coin” shows but we’ll get into that another time. One of my favorite crystals are the Tourmalines, they come in a few colors and are generally longer slender crystals.

Here is a group of them and a website that has desktop backgrounds If you want to check them out.

Proud new owner of Admin Talk – Forum Administrator Support Center

15 Sep

I’ve been buying and merging forums now for a little over a year and up until recently I’ve merged all of them into my general forum. I recently picked up a nice little admin forum called Admin Talk as well as a smaller one called AdminGang that was merged into AdminBB last week. I’ve been on the lookout for a nice webmaster site for a while.
My general forum site has a webmaster section but it’ll never take off like a site dedicated to admin stuff. Not to say the general forum isn’t doing well, in fact it’s doing very well as far as I’m concerned. We’re constantly getting new members that are coming on and posting and the spam isn’t bad for our small 3 man team.
I’m really looking forward to this project, and so far with what little I’ve done, the stats are looking great. We’re still in the process of moving it over to my servers. Once that happens and I can make sure everything is secure I’ll really start diving into the site. It already has a link directory running on phpld that’s dedicated to forum listings. I think this is a great opportunity to make my investment back and limit the amount of ads on the forum itself. I’ve had success with phpld link directories in the past and things have only gotten better in the 3 years since I’ve used the script.

Here is a quick screenshot of the stats since I picked up the site, you’ll see the jump halfway through when I added AdminGang and some of our search engine referrals started to pick up. I have several goals for this site. One of them being sub 17,000’s in Alexa and yes I know that Alexa doesn’t mean much but it is a somewhat decent way to measure webmaster type forums. Also my last webmaster forum hit 18,000 so I figured I’d shoot to get lower with this one.

I’m looking forward to the future of this forum, the acquisition has been positive and the members are active.
