I’m having fun joining blog contest that test my creativity in writing. I’m getting more serious with the way I manage my travel blog which is good when I want to bank as it my brand. I better churn out useful entries too; considering I’ve been blogging for seven years in total. It’s a shame if I haven’t developed this skill.

I just upgraded my sites to the latest version of WordPress which is WordPress 3.1. I’ve always been apprehensive when it comes to these upgrades due to the fact that we don’t know how stable the newer versions are.

I’m not very happy with bills on pay day. Sure, I’m glad to have earned some cash in order to pay off those debts I’ve accumulated due to emergencies and personal reasons but so far, I’ve been doing well in maintaining my balances and keeping things at a minimum. I haven’t been spending as much and the cash is flowing at the right direction.

Got a new job through ODesk and now I’m back to doing SEO tasks that will help generate quality traffic to my client’s sites. Right now, I’m going through training videos in order to maximize my time and learn everything I can to make the most of the experience.

and now it’s time to work!

Finally finished all of my trips that I booked last year! Funny how I was able to travel to those places and still maintain my full time job.

I’m not a pro when it comes to Web Design. I’ve come across so many templates and I don’t want to meddle with them as I’ve other important matters to attend to in blogging. However, I badly need an overhaul. I’m preparing to migrate my main blog to a new host and there are a number of changes on the backend that I have to work. Mainly it’s my URLs and Permalinks to make it more SEO-friendly and efficient.

I’m at a loss right now with all the money coming in and how easy they go out. Funny how I’m more in debt when I’m earning more than I was when I earned less. Case in point? A higher salary won’t guarantee financial freedom.

I received a number of emails from different people wanting to partner up in placing links on my website. I’d receive an email or two to write sponsored reviews about their products/services and they pay me afterward.

My main travel blog’s website Google Page Rank went up to PR 3!

During the last update, I was surprised to finally get my original PR back on track. After about 4 years worth of blogging about travels, it only increased during this year.

I thought I wouldn’t push through with this other vacation but after one day at the office, I went off for another flight to another location. Call me crazy and I won’t even bother defending myself. Not that I needed this one but I just wanted to. Bonding with my sibling was a good excuse.
