Notes To PissBiscuit - Thank You!
- 12 Comment
It been a while since I wrote notes to PB but this one is a little overdue for another reason, I was recently saved by The Piss Biscuit. It got me thinking about how great the majority of bloggers out there are, that they would actually take time out of their weekend to help a fellow blogger get back online. I have friends that I see on a daily basis that would not be as helpful as that, and here is a guy I know only through another website that would do that for me. I want you to know Mr Piss….for what you did I am truly grateful!
I had some trouble with my previous hosting company who, quite frankly, were appalling. I find enough trouble blogging sometimes without the additional troubles of hosting and such like. I want to expand my network, I want to write more, I want to do more money making projects online and I want to free myself from that 9-5 job which I truly despise. I don’t need my hosting company to suck like iPower! Which reminds me, I have one of their banners on an old site of mine I must take down, you know I don’t like to push things I don’t use myself.
So anyway, I got really stuck when my server went down and I made the decision to switch it over to my perfectly good hostgator account. Well, to be honest I had not the faintest clue…all I knew was that I’d been lucky enough to have decided to back it up the night before, something I don’t ordinarily do I must add. (Everyone Back Up Your Blog.! No really, you should!) Trying to move my site back onto my upgraded wordpress and new server proved to be a much tougher problem - it would have taken me days no doubt to get my site back up on my own. Then, by the power of skype along comes Mr Piss who, in no time at all, got things upgraded and in full working order again.
It always amuses me the little circles of bloggers I see on my commenting rounds and I see it as good to have a network of people who you can go to for addtional advice, or maybe to collaborate on a project. I like to read fun blogs, people who don’t take themselves too seriously, but who know how to give good advice. Other than traffic, which I am sure is now being directed to blogfluff, I also lost my blogroll so I will be starting a new one quite soon (now is a really good time to subscribe/stumble this site btw). I am sure Mr Piss has cleverly inserted some code that is snapping up all my traffic! I have recently started using the ‘Sociable’ plugin which, along with many great wordpress plugins can be found over at yoast. I also highly recommend adding Joost De Valk to your reader if he is not there already; I have learnt a huge amount from reading his blog.
My point is this…don’t be afraid to ask if you need help with something. Not everyone online is one of those negative, gotta be faster, richer and ruder than everyone else type bloggers that we all know exist. I am also here to help in anyway I can so don’t be shy, drop me an email or comment (as long as its not server related). I will of course be reciprocating all stumbles for the rest of this month, which should get everyone some good traffic, as I sign of my appreciation.
Leaving server stress behind I can now get on with bringing you some great posts and maybe I can also figure out how I am going to catch up in this competition.
Thanks Everyone.

Hi AP,
great post.
It’s true we all need to make friends online and when those are helpful friends, so much the better
Seriously though, PB is great at helping people even though he has so much work to do himself.On another note. As suggested, I came over here to sign up again for your RSS feed by email, but got this message:
Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/theaffilatepost/rss
HTTP Error (Code) and Message: (404) Feed not found error: FeedBurner cannot locate this feed URI.
Might need fixing….

PB is a good man!
Zania: that happened to me before with the comments, but once you click refresh or hit the homepage again it counts your comment. Or at least it did with me.

@ AP: No problemo. That’s what friends are for. Now I feel bad! I havn’t written a post or commented on one dam thing all week. I’ve been so slammed at work, buying those businesses, and trying to finish all of those projects I started… I need to hire about 3 more people to stay on par!
Again, thanks for the plug, anytime!
@ Daily Belle: I’m still think about that request of yours.
@ Zania: Something in this theme Caches the comments. There are a few themes that do that… agreed frustrating, but a major improvement to the old AP.

@ Mrs Piss: Thanks for commenting…I am glad you like both the blog and the Ferris flashback
@ JK: Why thank you good sir! I am starting to see you in all the same places I visit. You got skype?
@ Green: LOL. Yes…haha…I have been following your anti blogging methods but it is not really working for me. I think I need to get some new stuff up after all these nice comments. I assume we can all expect a lot more from you too when this comp is over??

If it’s not working for you then you’re not doing it right. Have you been waiting 10 days between posts and avoiding comments? Have you been putting ads/affiliate links ONLY at the footer of your page below the copyright? Don’t forget, less relative keywords and more slang in your content! Contact me if you need more hot tips and want to make REAL money blogging.
Yeah, You’ll see way more of my ugly mug on my own blog(s) later in August and beyond. I may even UNLEASH my new system in September. There’ll be blogging tips that NOBODY has used. For instance, promoting products that NO other blogger has EVER talked about before like Bookmarking Demon. You want another hot free tip? Ok! Put 6 (has to be 2 rows of 3) 125 x 125 ads on the top right of your blog! Oops, I went and told you too much!
Stay tuned for more from the 10-Day Hiatus Secrets Unleashed (12-Day Hiatus for advanced bloggers)

What a great blogger, my hat off to Mr PB.
I’m glad you are all up and working now.
I think you just have to be open to help each other out, Without this kind of community blogging would be like working in a real job
There is enough money for us all to have and share if we just help each other out a little.
