NewsBytes: EeeII, Carnival, Making REAL Money, Whitespace
News about the world, the blog, and things InvestorBlogger cares about! Today’s Tuesday Bulletin will include 5 stories that I’ve been following for a while. Enjoy!
Asus EEE PC II: Is it in the ‘works’?
I’ve been following the Asus Eee PC story since it was first announced last summer. It seems that planning has started for version II, according to DailyTech. The report suggests that the new version will include WiMax, a more economical chip (extended power), and a larger screen (8.9″).
All of these would make a desirable portable unit VERY usable indeed. It could even help you to make money on the go!
InvestorBlogger Makes REAL Money
I’ve recently updated the total amount of money (before fees, taxes, and expenses) in the sidebar. I’m surprised to say that the total is now $7,139.05. I haven’t been charting the total so much as the monthly report.
Carnival of Making REAL Money
We’ve now published seven editions of the Carnival with links to some excellent articles. Do check it out! I’m now including a featured article in each edition, and reducing the posting frequency to every second week to improve article quality.
WhiteSpace: Making Space for the Future
Brian Gardener has done some wonderful themes, and I’m now trying out his WhiteSpace theme on this blog! I generally prefer whiter themes as they are pallets on which I can add, embellish and modify much more easily than highly designed themes. The Christmas Days theme with the Snow Plugin was a wonderful design but it really did hit the larger pictures hard, and I wasn’t familiar enough with the CSS to figure out how to adjust the blog size. Let’s hope I don’t repeat those problems!
Updates: Going to War With Google
Well, yesterday I wrote extensively about Freeing yourself from Google’s Tyranny, but I’m surprised at myself, I really forgot about one Google Service that is really hard to replace: FeedBurner. Again, it is an acquisition by Google; but I have no idea of any similar service that can collate and analyze feed stats like Feedburner can. Suggestions?
Advertising Opportunities: Links in the SideBar
In the next few days, I’ll be reorganizing the advertisers’ links in the right hand column and opening up some additional slots for banners on the sidebar and the top. I’ve already sold five slots, and there’s one text link going for sale. I will be updating the advertising page with current statistics and rates. Do check back if you’re looking for publicity.
