My blogs are growing

Some pretty cool things happened yesterday.  First off, beer.pizza.tech set a feed subscriber record at 17 readers.  I’m not pulling ProBlogger numbers, but for a small blogger such as myself, the fact that 17 people want to subscribe to what I write every day means a lot and is really cool.  I also appreciate those [...]

Facebook’s response to my complaint about Flyers Pro

Below you’ll find a message I wrote to Facebook customer service via the help section of the Facebook site.  After that, you’ll find the response they gave me.  I wrote my piece to them after I had learned that two of my advertising campaigns had been disabled. To Facebook: “What exactly ARE we allowed to [...]

beer.pizza.tech endorses John Chow

Not that this has anything to do with college, but I’ve made myself a John Chow subscriber and am officially pulling for him to overtake Shoemoney in their RSS subscriber competition.  Why?  I’m not entirely sure.  John Chow is the so-called ‘root of all evil’, and maybe something inside is pushing me to side with [...]

Darren Rowse featured my kitchen table!

How awesome is this?  I had no idea until I googled my own name the other day and saw he had done a mashup of various bloggers and their headquarters.  I’m really shocked that I missed that post before!  Anyway, if you want to see where I do my work you can click the link [...]

The Dormedia Network is coming soon

Check your D&G watch, ladies and gentlemen: it’s time for me to unveil what will eventually be the Dormedia network of blogs! I won’t link to them just yet (they’re still under construction) but I’ll tell you their names and what they’re about. I Love Beer Pong (or I <3 Beer Pong as the logo [...]

Blog growth and the death of my laptop

My Feedburner stats indicate that I have 15 subscribed readers. Pretty cool! On top of that, I’m getting referrals from Google for college related searches (which really pleases me) and some visits from the various blogs I read and comment on (Lifehacker, Problogger, etc.). This blog is, if you want to get technical, a little [...]

My blogging setup

After seeing quite a few of these “show-your-setup” posts pop up, I’m feeling inspired to do one of my own. As you can see, my setup is very minimalist. I’m rocking an Acer 3620 laptop, an HP PSC 1410v Priter/Scanner/Copier, and a Dell Axim x30. Some of you are probably curious about the large paddle [...]

Blog for money with Smorty

I was accepted to Smorty yesterday, a site that offers bloggers the chance to get paid to blog. After scoping things out, I believe I’m finally acclimated with everything enough to offer my opinion. When I first logged in, I noticed I was given a Smorty Score on the left hand side. What does it [...]

The reason Google’s PageRank update is late

I sincerely believe that I know why Google’s PageRank update is late – because it has been replaced. With what? It isn’t a very well kept secret. Google mentioned it once back in 2002 and it was met with much skepticism. I put my faith in the big G, however, and now that the PageRank [...]

Building a brand

I’m going to be honest with you – beer.pizza.tech isn’t exactly search engine friendly when people are searching for college stuff. A lot of people look at the title to determine whether or not the page is relevant and, well, beer.pizza.tech probably confuses them. So why do I use this name, you ask? I’m trying [...]
