New design & dilemmas
written on July 8, 2008 in Blogging
As you can see, new layout! I couldn’t really think of a better opening line, but do tell me what you think of it. This was a free theme from Blog Oh! Blog, but I tweaked it here and there to fit my needs. The tweaking didn’t take much time because I pretty much took the codes from my previous design and just copy and pasted as needed. What really took a while was finding the right image for the header. I’m still not completely satisfied, so if anyone has a good photo/image to use or a good idea of what to put there, I’m all up for suggestions.
I wrote a post on experiencing with different blog advertisements a while back, and after a month of using Project Wonderful, I’ve made $0.51. It’s obviously an improvement from the $0 I made from Google Adsense, but I feel like it’s just not quite cutting it. So I’ve decided to finally switch to self-hosted advertising, as you can see to your right, there are 3 125×125 ad spaces available at a first-come-first-serve basis. I will also provide a custom-designed ad at an additional price
I haven’t made my final decisions on the prices yet, but here’s what I’m planning to use so far:
- $2 for 1 month
- $5 for 3 months
- $7 for 6 months
- $12 for 1 year
- $1.50 for 1 custom designed ad
Do these prices seem reasonable to you guys? Any comments, suggestions, anything, would be welcome.
Another dilemma I’m having is whether or not to buy a new domain name. Google hates my butt right now (the feeling is mutual), but the thing is, I haven’t been taking offers from Payperpost and SocialSpark in a while now. 1) because their offers usually suck, or 2) they just don’t have anything at all. I figured that if I got a new domain name, I could start off fresh and maybe get my pagerank back and dig myself out of Google hell. On the contrary, I just renewed this domain, I like the idea behind the name, and switching names means building up all my backlinks from scratch. Ideas anyone?
