Can you say the following phrase without stumbling on any of the words?
” An Error Occurred During Upload Initialization “
This is an error message that we get calls on all day long and you would not believe how many people cannot say ” Initialization “. Can You? Don’t Lie.
Blogging, it has become my obsession. Lets go back in time to when this all started and find out who is responsible. I don’t remember the exact date but it was sometime in August or September of 2007 when The Queen received and email from her cousin MissGotWings telling her about her blog when this obsession began ( that was a bad sentence ). After reading a few of her posts, I thought this would be a great way for The Queen to blow off a little steam and to let everyone know about whats been going on around our family. So I got her started with a blog of her own. And of course I thought it might be a good way to make a couple extra bucks off Google Ads ( if anyone ever were to click on them ).
I just cannot understand why I torment myself each and every day dealing with these idiots who call in for support. It has now taken me 20 minutes to get this guy to change his password. This is not fucking rocket science.
Step 1 - Put in User ID
Step 2 - Put in temp Password that I emailed you
You will be prompted to change your password
Step 3 - Again put in password I emailed
Step 4 - Type in your new password
Step 5 - Type that password in again to confirm
Step 6 - Click Login
Step 7 - Say Thank You, you are the best and hang up the phone
A child could do this, my mother who is the most technologically challenged person on Earth could do this.
Well on Thursday the Queen and the Big One went out to the store and picked up the pictures they had taken on New Years Eve. If you all remember I was REALLY DRUNK and there were some pictures taken of me in my drunken state. I knew they were taking them, because I remember ONE, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Well the Queen showed me the pictures last night, againt my will I might add, I really didn’t need to see what I didn’t remember I did. On the whole they were not THAT bad. I would love to share them with you ( NOT!! ) but since the Queen has no desire to move into the 21st century and get a digital camera, all we have are the old fashion photos. So until maybe next year, you will have to wait to see me in all my drunken glory.
WHEW!!!!!
If you are looking for a huge traffic spike for your website here is a suggestion, I found this accidentally when a buddy and I were posting articles for a dating website we ran. Your results may vary.
Digg.com, if you are not familiar with it is a social bookmarking site where users “Digg” their favorite articles for others to read, the more people who “Digg” it the higher it goes in the list. Pretty simple concept.
For this to be most effective you should have some sort of Digg.com widget / plugin on your article so users can “Digg” it while reading it. People on Digg seem to love lists, actually most readers love some kind of list and they seem to generate a lot of comments since they are usually someones opinion, and people love to voice their own opinions to agree or disagree.
If you want to get the most out of your list, try posting a controversial list, sex related lists seem to do very well, these seem to get the most response. The subject of the list we posted that got the most play was: ” Top 10 Orgasmic Position for Women “. This generated such a buzz that we got 36,000 visitors to our site in about 18 hours and produced a steady flow of traffic for well over 6 months. If I remember correctly we had about 2000+ Diggs and we had the #1 ranking on the home page for a good part of the day. Over the next couple months we had 2 more posts that hit #1 on the front page and had lots of traffic coming to the site. For over a year we were making over $100/month from Google Ads from those 3 posts.
Digg.com has an Upcoming section of the site and many user watch this to see what’s new and hot. So if you have friends that have Digg accounts its good to let them know you posted something so they can Digg it also to help get it to the top of the upcoming list as quickly as possible.
As a warning though when posting sexual related articles you do need to be a bit careful, after our third trip to the top of the list someone must have not like the articles because our website was banned from having further postings on Digg.
