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.

Finally WPMU!

I remember mentioning that I gave up on working with WPMU already but the day after saying that, I got back on my feet and start all over again.

I am happy because this morning, I finally made it work. “It” is a blogging community I’ve been dreaming for months now and I will not tell you just yet where to find it because though it’s 99% functional, it is still not ready.

I want to make a landing page like that of edublogs.org but that is beyond my narrow and obsolete web designing skills. I tried to look around the net if there are free downloads for WPMU landing pages but I haven’t find anything until now.

Installing WPMU is similar to that of installing a WP single user blog but the difference is that you don’t get a lot of support with WPMU. If you go to WPMU’s support forums and read, you’ll notice that replies to questions are not so friendly like in WP single user forums. Some questions are left unanswered and few are lucky enough to get cold answers. Why? My guess is that the people behind WPMU somehow like to protect their work from people who want to use and earn big bucks from it but without contributing to its development.

In my case, I just really want to create a blogging community where my friends can create their own blog because I am really tired making blogs for them.  Right now I am already thankful to the people behind such great things like WP and WPMU and if this blogging community grows in the future to something which is bigger than what i expected (you see, I am just “one person” with minimal web designing, coding, and marketing skills so that is like punching the moon!) then well I dunno… right now, I  am just so contented and happy that I am able to install WPMU and that it is working.

What is Your Daily Writing Life Like?

In my case, I get up and make breakfast for my husband. After he leaves for work I know I’ll be by myself in my office for most part of the day. I work from 7:30 until I feel the need to stuff my stomach with something. Then I go back in front of my computer and work again. I might break things up by making myself a coffee, by watching a movie, by reviewing my German vocabulary, or by reading a portion of whatever book I am into at the moment. During warm days, I go downtown for lunch or for a coffee in quiet restaurants and coffee houses.

I am new to writing and so far I noticed that it is a lonely profession because you don’t get to be around people a lot.

I work alone all day so you can imagine how I welcome some social contact beyond my husband. When I am doing other things, I still cannot fully get away from writing because writing stuff will be swirling around my head, new ideas will pop up and then I feel the need to be alone again to write. Writing is addictive and wanting to write better is becoming like an obsession. My husband always remind me that I am only doing this for fun and that I don’t need to do it for money because I am well provided for anyhow. He insists that I should not stress myself too much with writing and that I should take it lightly. I don’t know but for now, I’ll take the stress because writing gives me a sense of purpose.
