Is There Something Wrong With StatCounter Today?

Well, I got a fright this morning when my traffic remained 0 for a couple of blogs for the whole morning. I thought that it’s the holidays, 1st of the year is a pretty big day the world over and I am sure half the population is still passed out in bed and in no condition to surf the internet, let alone read blogs.

I then got a eerie, creepy, sick-in-the-stomach feeling when my stats still show a big fat zero for two particular blogs. I checked SITE: and LINK: at the search engines and everything seemed fine, thankfully.

As at now, one blog is still showing ZERO traffic while another shows a miserable 3. I checked with NuffNang which also records my traffic and they are a lot lower but definitely not ZERO.

I am not sure if the problem is with StatCounter or something else. Perhaps I should just forget about keeping track of my traffic numbers and just blog, blog and blog!

Somebody’s Got Her P-R- Back!!!

I’ve got news yesterday that a fellow blogger has her P-R- reinstated for three blogs. That is absolutely great news and a perfect ending of the year for her. It has been tough for all of us to struggle with fake ranks but there is no choice but to persevere.

I know that this lady has been working extra hard all along by building blog after blog specifically for links and therefore, she could afford to be a good girl, delete all links from her blogs and seek reconsideration. She did what we could not afford to do because she has the traffic to anchor these three main blogs of hers.

Of course, even without having to sell L—-, she would still be able to create different revenue streams from her now PR-four blogs. The best of luck to her and may the rest of us be given a little respite as well!

Planning A Wedding Online

The other day, I was at my friend’s home and I was that she has a notebook which she has created lists like wedding guests, Wedding Gifts, bridesmaid, maids of honor, groomsmen and lots more lists. Well, what she was trying to do was to plan her wedding which is sometimes around Valentine’s Day next year.

I told her that she could easily do all this from an online wedding planning site called Wedding Channel and she and her husband-to-be could share the account so that they can both log in to plan and manage the wedding at different times whenever one of them is free. Doing it in a book is not exactly a bad idea but then she would not be able to share the task of building those lists.

Although I have not used those interactive wedding planning tools on the Wedding Channel because, I absolutely love the idea and believe that it takes away the stress and hassle of planning our own wedding!

Spies Also Need A Break

A month ago, I published a screenshot of someone who comes to all my blogs to spy on me. He/she comes by a few times a day that at first, back in June, I thought it was a bot but later, when we were slammed, I knew better.

I managed to get a little respite a few days ago during Christmas holidays when even spies took a few days off from surveillance of my blogs. Hah.. I knew that bloggers and their readers would take this chance to stay away from their blogs and the computer in general but even spies? LOL

I didn’t even miss him/her! I certainly can do without that one unique visit a day. The bad news is that he/she is already back! Bah….Such a hateful person.

Addicting Video Poker Games

If you have been reading my blog, you will know that of all the casino games currently available in online casinos, my all time favorite is poker. This was after I watched a movie on the glitz and glamor of professional poker players. Of course, I am not able to reach that kind of level but it’s good to dream!

A friend told me that there is now online video poker that we can play at an internet casino. Well, video poker games are certainly something new to me.

I checked out http://www.videopokerclassic.com to see what this video poker casino game is all about. I tried to play the free video poker where we are given $2000 to play with just to test the system. Of course, we could also download the full version where we could play video poker with all its features.

I think that video poker here on VideoPokerClassic.com has managed to capture the feel as close to a real poker game in a casino thanks to its rich graphics, so real that without realizing it, I spent over an hour playing the free video poker! All I can say is that it is very addicting but I will be back for more!

3D Games Come To Online Casino

I am sure regular readers know that I do spend a little time in online casino games. I don’t see anything wrong with casino gambling but some people may think otherwise. It all boils down to personal choice. I think that as long as we take it as entertainment and play in moderation then we are fine.

Last evening, I was told of new developments on http://www.commodorecasino.com. It really is a step forward to have 3D online casino games on screen to bring more life to the games. And it is especially interesting to have it for horse racing! Horse racing is a sport that is close to my heart as I live near a race course and used to spend a lot of time there.

One would think that with the advancement of the internet, casino games online would also catch up with technology to come to our computer as real as what we are getting in a real casino. And it is refreshing to see CommodoreCasino taking internet casino a step further.

Apart from horse racing and the ever popular Arctic Adventure, another 3D game lined up for this online casino is Penguin’s Playground. I have viewed visuals of the game and am blown away by the rich graphics. I believe that once we have tried out 3D games, we’ll never want to go back to old conventional graphic games!

iPhone Wallpaper Website

Since receiving my iPhone, I have been scouring the web for free iPhone wallpapers which I could download and install on my iPhone. The iPhone has such an amazingly crisp screen that images used as wallpaper come to live. When I see a nice picture, I wonder to myself, how will this look on my iPhone?

Well, after going around almost all iPhone wallpaper websites and downloading all the nice ones, I think that I want to start my own iPhone wallpaper website. The problem is about copyright especially for celebrity images.

However, I’ve got photographer friends whom I could maybe get to agree to support my site with original shots. I don’t know. Let’s see what they say first. I’d rather offer people something different than use recycled wallpapers on my website.

Well, what do you think? Should I or should I not start another iPhone wallpaper website?
