What’s Going on With the eBay Partner Network?

August 23, 2008 By Leave a Comment

So, what’s going on with the eBay Partner Network?

I’m hearing that they are trimming the number of affiliates in their network and they’re doing this without warning or much explanation. Hm. I’m not sure anyone knows what the criteria are that eBay is using, so many affiliates are pretty scared. Posters on the eBay forum seem to feel pretty angry and pretty helpless. No clear explanation is coming from eBay at all.

Now I have several sites with eBay ads on them and have earned some commission, but nothing breathtaking yet. If they’re going to dump me… Continue reading

One More Upgrading WordPress Update

July 16, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Okay, so I wrote that using the WordPress Automatic Update plugin was great and the upgrade went smoothly and everything was wonderful.

Well it wasn’t.

Thank goodness I had backups.

When I published a post using WordPress 2.6 my screen went totally white. Same thing for the other blog that I upgraded to 2.6.

So, what do I learn from this?

Restoring a database from cPanel went very smoothly. This was my first experience having to do this and the thought of it had always made me very nervous. Not anymore.

I’m pretty sure… Continue reading

Wow! It’s done. I just upgraded this blog to the newest version of wp and it was a piece of cake.

When I posted earlier about using the WordPress Automatic Update plugin, I wrote a couple words of caution about the backups and upgrading the database. I take them both back. Seeing the process work again, it is obvious when to download the backups and I had no issues with passwords. Very cool.

Highly recommended plugin.

Next step is to really get comfortable with Wordpress version 2.6… Continue reading

Upgrading WordPress

July 16, 2008 By Leave a Comment

My plan today is to upgrade this blog to the new WordPress version 2.6. Right now it’s still at 2.3.3.

I am currently using version 2.5.1 with a number of blogs and really like some of the features, particularly when it comes to managing plugins. With 2.5.1 you can automatically upgrade plugins when a new version becomes available. This is such a time saver (rather than downloading the new version, unzipping it and uploading it to the server…).

While Fantastico is cool for installing blogs, I have preferred not to use it because I prefer to name the… Continue reading

Social Mini-nets and Don’t Forget Earn1KaDay

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve made a post in here. Wow! I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by.

In the meantime, I have been quite productive, and it feels quite excellent.

My focus has been on article marketing and creating little social networks for promotion. I took info from a number of sources about how to create these networks and pulled together a game plan. Seems like each person left a little bit out that one of the others filled in and I ended up with a pretty cool outline. Now I’ve… Continue reading
