Blogs’ Ranks

Why does it always have to happen when we’re in Austria? I remember that in June I lost my PR 5 and all my PR 4s went down to PR 3s.

Now My Pink Notes, The Two Geeks, and My Take on Things went down from PR 3 to PR 2, Bizarre Marriage and Vienna Lopez went down from PR 3 to PR 1, Digitally Designed went from PR 4 to PR 2, Blogleafs went down from PR 4 to PR 1. Penny Wise, a blog formerly located here, is still PR NA.

My friend’s blog namely Pages after Pages went from PR 3 to PR 2 and A Lady’s Chest, previously PR 0, now have a PR 1.

So basically all my blogs’ PRs went down and I have a very good feeling why it happened. After almost a year and more or less 7,000.00$ total income from blogging, looks like it’s going to be downhill from here on but I will still keep my eight blogs.

Surprisingly, Blogxi.com now has a PR 2. Considering that I just finished the site about a few weeks ago and it was launched like 10 or 12 days ago, PR 2 for Blogxi is not bad.

Working with Wordpress MU

I started a project today. I thought it will be as easy as installing a Wordpress blog but it is not. Wordpress MU (multiuser) is way more complicated than I imagined it to be. In some of the installation instructions, one author said, “If you’re not comfortable editing PHP code, taking care of a complex web server and datebase system, and being pro-active about following the development of this project then run, don’t walk, to wordpress.com and sign in yourself and your friends up to free blogs.” I would have done that if I haven’t already had a blog there and if wordpress.com is not being censored here.

So anyway, I got tired of requests from friends that I should make them blogs so I thought of installing Wordpress MU for them. I actually started building blogs for friends such as Yulishen, Veronica, and Earthangel but I am not making more. I am so tired of installing the wordpress blogging platform in each subdomain so I thought of Wordpress MU.

I started it this morning and I am still not done with it. I have successfully installed the platform but I am still getting a lot of errors. Based on my progress today, I don’t see it done anytime soon. I just hope that I can find a really good step-by-step Wordpress MU installation instruction.

Another Blog Coming Up!

I have a lot of blogs and at this point I realized that I can’t keep them all anymore. I am too busy with other things but I still like to blog. In fact, I want to start another blog (I’m crazy I know). I will leave or give away blogs that are doesn’t have their own domain like My Take on Things, Penny Wise, Digitally Designed, and The Last Thing I Am. That’s 4 blogs off my shoulders. BlogLeafs will stay but I plan to ask somebody to co-author this blog with me.

In exchange to these four blogs, I will start one blog. At first I wanted it to be about living here in Shanghai but I realized that it is a very broad topic and there is already My Pink Notes blog and Vienna Lopez blog that cover about my life in general including my life here in Shanghai so I narrowed it down to something else. The new blog will be about Shanghainese girls’ lifestyle and fashion. Why? Because they fascinate me so!

It’s still just a plan and I don’t have a concrete date to launch it yet but it will come. I already have a good collection of Shanghainese girls’ photos waiting to be uploaded and posted (wink*). Once my schedule start to loosen up a little bit and once I picked a good domain name, I will start it.
