Fueling My Blogs

January 8, 2007 The Artist Leave a comment

After I have placed my avatar for ** An Anonymous Journal ** on a 40 X 40 pixel block on FuelMyBlog.com, I was pretty impressed with the click through I received. Looking at the pace FuelMyBlog is developing over the past couple of days, I thought I’d book another block for this blog, before someone grabs that choice spot! I hope Kevin would not mind.

I think a 40 X 40 pixel is very generous of them since it’s free publicity for our blogs and MySpace.

>>>> Blank Canvas < <<< is so new; I just wanna get it indexed and concentrate on raising my page rank as soon as possible. I trust FuelMyBlog.com will give me the much needed exposure. Link me up, show me some love!

The Challenges Ahead

January 7, 2007 The Artist 2 Comments

As a new blog, one of the challenges that lie ahead, I’m sure all bloggers have been through this, is to get the word out that THIS BLOG IS BORN. I suppose it’s gonna be a big challenge for me, bigger than the one I faced with ** An Anonymous Journal ** the blog formerly known as ** An Anonymous Crap Sheet ** because I have less time to devote on this blog, perhaps even no time at all, except for posting, which can be scheduled to publish throughout the week.

This blog is born out of necessity. As it stands now, maintaining ** An Anonymous Journal ** is a full time job, what with writing two paid posts plus two original interim posts a day. That makes four posts a day, on top of my regular job and taking care of the household and two monkeys.

I guess I will just take one day at a time.

WordPress, a Different Ball Game

When I first started this blog, I was rather apprehensive about treading the WordPress waters. I have been using Blogger powered blogs all along and I did not relish the change. For the template on ** An Anonymous Journal **, I spent two whole days customizing and personalizing it till “perfection”. Yes, it took me that long because I did not know anything about HTML and stuff but after that episode, I can say that I’m pretty familiar with customizing Blogger templates now.

It’s a different story with WordPress. It is not that I am unwilling to learn something new. I am always game for new things but I can ill afford the time to go by trial and error.

I spent a few days searching for a WordPress theme that I like. I found this and was all gung-ho about customizing it. But with all the confusing separate files, I think I have given up, for now.

I’ll just be using the default layout for the time being, I guess.

A Brand New Year, A Brand New Blog

January 1, 2007 The Artist Leave a comment

First of all, Happy New Year to all. May 2007 bring you much joy, health and contentment.

As mentioned, I thought about moving to a own hosted domain, so here I am. This is a sub-domain off www.cyberpartygal.com, which points to her WebStore, like it has always been.

There are also a few other blogs under this domain but this is mine, all mine.

I have named this blog Blank Canvas because I have no idea which direction it will be headed towards. I liken myself to an artist with a blank canvas, waiting for inspiration to come. So either I create a masterpiece or I smudge my canvas with blobs of paint and spoiling the canvas.

Wish me luck!
