Slowest loading website ever!

June 16, 2013 in Blogging, WordPress Plugins

I haven’t done much blogging in the past 6 months, but nevertheless I have at the very least been logging on to my WordPress Dashboard every other day trying to improve my blog in other areas. You know…widgets, plugins, updating all the posts I’ve written through “All in One SEO” plugin…stuff like that. The one thing I have never been satisfied with is the speed of which my blog loads! At times, I could literally count to 10 before my homepage would load!! During those “high traffic” times I would wait considerably longer. Who in the hell would even want to visit my blog if they had to wait 30 seconds for the damn thing to load? Nobody! Holy Krackatoa!!!! ONE….TWO….THREE…FOUR…you get the idea….FRUSTRATING!!! I

So just a few shorts months ago, my then 6-year-old son Ben bought his first Kendama. Before then, I had never heard of the word Kendama and now just a few months later, he has 5 “kens”. OMG…he is totally infatuated with these things! It’s a good thing though…it teaches him some good hand/eye coordination! Well for all you parents dealing with this…here is our unboxing video…Enjoy!

I’m bored with Blogging?

April 21, 2013 in Blogging

I was hard at it for the first 4 months of my new blog. From August through December 2012 I was working on my blog daily for at least 1-2 hours! Then for the last 3 months, nothing….I guess I hit the proverbial wall. Nothing was inspiring me. I couldn’t think of anything to inspire myself. I have nothing inspiring to write about! What the hell is going on? 57 posts I have written and I really don’t like any of them! It’s not me. Time to take a new direction I guess. We’ll see what comes up in the near future. However, I do like the look and feel of my blog. I just don’t like the content. I’m going to stop worrying about

January 2, 2013 in Blogging

With 2013 upon us I thought it would be cool to have a look at my 2012 blog stats! I starting blogging on August 22,2012…only 18 short weeks ago and have accumulated some interesting stats. I know there are a handful of you who started at same time I did so now you can compare mine to yours. I use 2 sources. My “JetPack” stats…which is a WordPress plugin that was made available to me from day 1 and Google Analytics which I installed on September 18 of last year…26 days after my blog launch. But first, let’s have a quick look at my top five posts! (from my JetPack stats) Self Inflicted Wound with 928 views posted on October 1 Melbourne the Cat with 558 views

Writing a Novel

December 28, 2012 in Writing

My goal starting the first day of 2013 is to write my first novel! It’s just one of those things I need to do before I die! I have already outlined most of the chapters in my little black notebook. The time has come for me to fully layout its diagram and get started. I read somewhere that a professional writer can write about 1000 words per hour when there on a roll and complete a 94,000 word novel in just a month! I’m not that ambitious yet. I was thinking about a 50-60 thousand word novel in 365 days or less. It took me years to start my blog. I’m not waiting any longer to start my novel….
