In light of the lack of any badges of graphics made available to us loyal MBL users, I popped open Google Image Search and typed in MyBlogLog. The first thing that caught my eye was a little familiar in a weird way.
It was a shiny, sleek little MyBlogLog ‘Join My Community’ badge. It was exactly what I was looking for, but I couldn’t figure out why it seemed so familiar.
When I clicked the graphic it took me to a place that I knew I had been before. I was on Nate Whitehill’s blog. Surprise. It seems he is the only one who was clever enough to do up some free MyBlogLog badges so far.
Nate’s only terms are that you join his community and write a post to let your users know where you got the graphic. That seems fair to me. But it got me in the mood to zap up my own little graphic for my MBL reader community. I wanted one that fit to my theme a little better.
My result was not unlike Nate’s but it was something I could call my own. Since there is nothing like this available through MyBlogLog, I feel inclined to allow my readers to use my graphic as well if they wish.
I don’t need every single person who uses my MyBlogLog graphic to link back to me, but joining my community would be nice. If my graphic doesn’t suit your needs, do up your own or ask Nate to get you a custom sized version of his graphic.
Update: 10/22/07 - I have added a new badge as you may have noticed.
I’d just like to thank our newest community members in the Needless Productions MyBlogLog community. Just a reminder that September is almost over and this month we are dedicating a post to every five new members of the community. We will also be running a special contest next month exclusively for members of our MyBlogLog community. So why not join before October gets here?
For the sake of this current design, I will not be including the MyBlogLog recent readers widget. It isn’t that I don’t appreciate my friends from that community, If fact, I have been making a point of going and checking out the blogs/profiles of everyone in my community lately and also trying my best to leave a comment or two; the issue is more with the widget code itself. It really lags the load time on a blog.
Fact is, most widgets, unless they come as a Wordpress plug-in (sometimes even then), slow your site down. The more remotely hosted widgets you have, the more sites your visitor has to connect to before they can finish loading the page.
Until I either get a new design or MyBlogLog gets a cleaner widget, I will be out of that loop. But that doesn’t stop me from handing out love to my community. The newest members are…
Thanks to all of you for joining the Needless Productions group. Sorry about the lack of a recent readers box. I’m trying to keep my layout junk to a minimum.
Speaking of junk.. how ’bout those ads?
As you will notice I have opted to include ads on my blog. I tried to keep it minimal in choosing only ads for products or services I think my readers will benefit from.
The first ad is ultimately selling ME. I’m a beneficial product or service. I write fair and objective reviews through sponsored posts. I am very careful to be fair and accurate in my findings. It is best to request a neutral review. However, if I truly believe something is good, I am capable of producing a positively toned review.
The second ad ties in with the first one. This ad is for PayPerPost. Its a good way for bloggers to make money. I use it to pay for hosting. Some people have alleged making a perfectly decent living off of being a PPP blogger. It is viable for advertisers because of the high volume of relevant links (with content) it generates. It is lucrative for bloggers who are serious enough to maintain a strong and constistent blog. The higher your blog ranks, the more you can get paid for your posts. There is no cost to start up, but your blog must meet certain standards before you qualify.
The third ad is a product that was passed along to me by my hosting company (that I love so much its’ sick). Website Magazine is a webmaster magazine available free online, so all their content is there for you. They also have a print version that you can subscribe to for free and receive the magazine at your door at no cost. Currently, the print version is only available in Canada and the United States. Other countries keep your fingers crossed and check out the online version in the meantime.
So that is the story behind my ads, behind the lack of MyBlogLog presence on this site and behind why I feel like getting up to take a walk after hours of steady typing.
In other news: I’ve added a top commentators board to the sidebar of this site. You will notice that at the time of this publishing my Uncle, and own flesh and blood is currently at the second last spot on the list with David Hopkins sitting in first and Darren trailing him in second place. Knock these players off their rockers and take the title for yourself. All you have to do is respond somewhere for a free link.
