Porn spawns another funny quotes site
Filed in: Ed's blog spot
One cold wintery day in August, (I was visiting the UK) my quotes weren't particularly funny when I logged in to find my site homepage had been hijacked by a list of adverts for peeing and other potty depraved pornography. Be, ber beep beep beep.
After scanning through a couple of unopened emails from my web host, I I thought all was lost, because the domain name had lapsed. It seemed that these peddlers of piss poor porn had taken over for good. My bad.
I was itching to do some more blogging, but what do you do with no blog? Get a freebie blog and write about what people want, and ideally what you enjoy too - I hear you say. So I looked through my stats for inspiration and decided on launching a Funny Quotes site using Blogger. And for an angle, rather than just list quote after quote, I aim to add a bit of extra value, by tacking on an anecdote or two at the end of each quote. We shall see if it flies or flunks. Take a look if you like and let me know.
GO NOW
If you deign to go to the site, you will see that I found a really nippy theme from Bloggertricks From experience, it is surprising how a good theme can be a great incentive to blog. You feel like you have a platform or a canvas for creating something worthy, not a blank sheet for churning out fodder.
While I was at it, I also sold out and signed up for Adsense. Why not? I am not complaining, (he lied) but for all the words I have written and effort invested, I have never made a dime worth shouting about from this site. With this other side show, I can be a shameless hardened blogmeister with a nose for cash. Many of you know exactly what I am talking about!!!!
There I was, all proud of my new blog incarnation, a couple of new posts to my name, when yesterday, I get an email from my web hosts at A Small Orange saying they could retrieve the Pisstakers domain. Right, how much was that going to run to? I had visions of three figure sums, a king pisser's ransom. But I was pleasantly surprised. For a mere $50 I would be good to go for a couple more years. With 1400 posts, thousands of images, and a tarnished reputation, it was a no-brainer, even for the son of a Scotsman. Sold!
So here I am again reviving this site. Not sure how much I will be able to post, what with a new funny quotes blog to my name, (as well as a new tech site, that I also couldn't resist starting - oops. Tech Pisstaker is blogging about search and tech trivia.)
The way things have turned out, I lost a penny and found a bloody pound, I suppose.
well, cheers all, have a great day, I have some work to do, (and that myth about the Scots being tight, it is all wrong, it is the Welsh who are the champions of thrift! - and that's a fact, diu diu.
