Blogging fatigue

I'm not sure If it is due to the increasing amount of responsibilities in my life, the fact that I'm about to get married, the fact that I am looking for a new job or if it's plain just writer's fatigue but I think I may be cutting back significantly on this blog in the short-term while I try and 'handle my bidness' so-to-speak.

I will still try and keep it updated at least weekly but, I have so many other things that need to be focused on and this blog appears to be low on the priority scale right now.

Let me know if you have any ideas - thanks for reading!

Farewell Blogrush, it was a short uneventful run...

So I decided to delete BlogRush from my Blog.

After checking out a couple of the sites listed today via the BlogRush widget they appear to be all bot-like Blog sites or just really boring, impersonal blogs.

Plus, there's the fact that it appears my traffic appears to have gone DOWN rather than UP since adding the 'widget' to my blog.

So it's back to the drawing board and of hard, work and interesting blog posts...It's a good thing I like to blog!

I completely forgot to mention that I had my blog featured in the 106th Carnival of Debt Reduction.

Please make sure to check out My Two Dollars blog...

So Dave Ramsey's on TV ...This Blogrush thingy

SO I just listened to Dave Ramsey's Podcast today and apparently, he is going into the TV business. He is getting a show on Fox's new business news channel.

I love listening to Dave and his rants on people who are in debt.

I also love how he will call a caller 'stupid' without any remorse whatsoever.

What I don't like is Fox News and ultra-conservative opinions but, what can you do? Dave's conservative without apologies - he once commented something 'I have relatives that voted for Democrats...we still say say 'hi' to them at Christmastime"

Oh well - until there is a liberal radio ( or podcast) host that's as entertaining as Dave, what's a tree-hugger to do? (Oh wait, there's Suze Orman but she doesn't do podcasting - yet dang it!)

In Other News, there is a new site/service called Blogrush that is supposed to help promote blogs by running a feed of recently posted blogs. According to an e-mail I just got from the service scammers/spammers have already infected the network.

"Unfortunately, the bozos have come out of the woodwork and are trying
to cheat the Blog-Rush system. We have quite a few users that are abusing
the system � from running scripts to auto-load the widget, to other
fraudulent methods to earn syndication credits for their account that
they do not deserve.

These �cheaters� are hurting the overall network and dramatically
lowering the click-through rates for our good users. It�s obvious
since their �impressions� are not even seen by humans and therefore are
not sending any traffic to other users."




As you can see - as of yesterday, I added the 'blogoshere' widget to my side panel. Unfortunately so far anyway most of the blogs listed look like they are boring generic blogs not a whole of creatively named blogs or blogposts so I am almost questioning thee legitimacy.

I'll keep the widget up for a week or so but, if I don't see a whole lot of change I may be taking it down.
