Well we have a plugin or more so a modification of a plugin now available for download here at Seanmcn.com. You can read all about Highslide Photopress over here, basically it’s a very simple modification of Photopress that allows you to use the Highslide Library for amazing picture zoom effects! An example being:
The madness hey? Have to love that Highslide framework!
Often you want a functionality that you can’t get without hacking the Wordpress “Core”. In this situation you have a choice, don’t bother with the functionality or move on, or forever have to remember you have hacked the core when upgrading your installation! And with the Wordpress folks constantly rolling out upgrades you are required to edit each and every file you have edited after every upgrade! Therefore it is extremely important to document Wordpress “Core” Hacks. Not only does this mean you won’t forget any hacks you have made, but it makes upgrading a hell of a lot simpler! So for those of you out there who are thinking about hacking the “Core” go for it! Once you document everything really your grand!
I am very late on picking up that my Google PageRank is zero, but I figured I’d put a post up anyway!
I’d like to firstly thank all who made this possible,
Servage.net - For hosting my blog. Payperpost - For more than likely being the cause. Damien Mulley - Just because he need’s to be in here. A blog post isn’t a blog post unless you mention him! Ken McGuire - Ken started me blogging so I can freely blame him for all of this commotion, also if you don’t like one of my posts, he’s the guy to blame! Google - Of course the big bad in this situation, I won’t get slapped on the wrist for using Adsense but for using anything else its “Bad Sean“. Now there is some nice marketing for Adsense!
I have to admit I’m not upset at all! This gave me two good things. One; A blog post: I was pretty stuck for one this morning and Two; A reason to rant and I do love ranting!
I will continue to use adverts and I don’t see how this affects me at all, the good old page rank bar is no longer what it was, a status symbol amongst website’s to show how well your doing, now its just another “It’s there..” of having a blog.
Like, search engines are 15% [or so] of my traffic, or there about’s and I don’t get any decent searches from Google anyway, it’s all people searching for Natalia Tena who seem to be directed here! Proving the point that I didn’t make, search engines aren’t that good at all! My subscribers are who I really care about!
So once again thanks to everyone who made this possible and mainly Google!
Since last night I’ve been looking for some simple program to just track how much time I am spending on projects I downloaded quiet a few applications as I really wanted one that wasn’t web based but none of them came close to being as good as 88 miles! This website allows you to add company’s and projects in seconds, so your not wasting time on them and of course then it has a simple clock in clock off interface for each project. Needless to say these guys have got it right and aren’t making you waste any time doing this and that just so you can check how much time your wasting!
Definitely recommend it! Check it out at 88miles.net ..
For fan’s of Frank Warren’s blog Post Secret you can find more secrets just like the blog on DeviantArt, while the Deviant art version isn’t official it’s still worth taking a look at for all you addicts!
Well here we are again, dropped out of school and unemployed! This being my second time to drop out of fifth year I will not be returning to school! So college looks like it’s going to be when I’m 23 for now! So what are the plan’s until then? Well I’m going to get a job as soon as possible, hopefully something nice! If anyone knows of any job opportunities for 17 year olds who can do web design / programming but have no qualifications, let me know! *laughs to himself* Also I hope do some more freelance work to get some money and of course keep this blog going! Perhaps even look into doing two or three days free work per week in some web design or software company! Here we go 2008!
I was wondering earlier today how much www.seanmcn.com made in 2007, just as I was thinking what would be a nice fun post to start of 2007 on, I then realised that I didn’t know, I remembered some sponsered links here and there but wasn’t sure of the exact figures! So here is how much Seanmcn.com made during 2007. Figures are in dollars because that’s what I was paid in!
Google Adsense: $5.46 [Unclaimed]
Sponsored Links: $100 [Claimed and spent!]
TLA: $0 [Never got it to work..]
PayPerPost: $20 [Claimed and spent!]
Donations: $0
As you can see the big bringer in of money was sponsored links, donations brought in nothing. Even though that’s the most widespread ad, asking you to buy me a coffee under every single post!
Overall during 2007 blogging quiet frequently and not really optomising adverts I made: $125.46 not bad when you really think about it! Let’s hope that in 2008 I can make that bigger!
Digg it!
