Meta Monday: Free Money!

So, it’s been nearly a month – again – since I’ve posted anything. That makes me super sad. So I think I’m going to steal an idea from The Book of Wooby and toss an offer out there. See, Francis has this thing where he promises to post once each week (Assuming he’s not overrun with other stuff) and if he doesn’t, he sends one of his commenters $20.00. I like that idea… And have been trying to light a fire under my seat for a while to post more often. So I’m going to steal and tweak it a little.

The Promise

I’m committing to post once at least every 3 days. So today is Monday, meaning you’ll get another post on Thursday. Then Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday and so on. Like Francis, I’m offering a $20.00 (CAD) reward to a random meaningful commenter (No “Good job” or “I like this” comments allowed) if I don’t post – but the commenters I look at will only be in the past 3 weeks starting with this post. Yes, that means you have to comment regularly to stay in the draw. I’ll end this if I end up run too poor, so get in while the getting is good. Yeah… This just ain’t happening anymore.

Topical Texts

One of the other things I’m trying to do is get a little more topical with the blog’s subject matter. I’m doing this with alliterative topics for each day of the week. Today, for example, is ‘Meta Monday’ – where I can talk about the projects I’m involved in, site changes, updates and so on. I’ve also got ‘WordPress Wednesday’ planned and ‘Follow Friday’ will probably show up.

But I’m stuck on the Ts and Ses and am open to suggestions. Feedback is welcome – and hey, if you do it via comment, you get entered into that lovely potential cash giveaway!

Of ‘Press and Snowmen

A couple of weeks ago now, I launched a new look over at the WPBTM site. The site is now looking more like how I’d wanted it to look for a long while, and has some handy new features like the front carousel and the availability meter on the side bar. With the new site came a re-structuring of the monthly services offer, new pricing across the board and (By request) the option to bring us in on a retainer. Oh yeah – and I say ‘us’ because there are two part-time developers working on the project, too.

We’ve also dressed the site up for the holidays with a snowman and some falling snow. :)
