The birth of a new site

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

My coupon codes site is on autopilot until Saturday or Sunday so I thought I’d start a new project and thought it would be cool to let people see the progress live. My new site is pjsloungewear.com. It’s going to be a PJ’s,Loungewear,lingerie, etc.. store.

I’m using one of my Wordpress Affiliate Shops but making a bunch of modifications. All I’ve done so far is removed excerpts and switched them to use custom fields for the images.

I’m also using the Category Icons and Post Ratings plugins. I just started today so there’s a lot left to do. I need to update the header, fix the links in the side bar, change the colors etc.

I alos need to get me data feeds straightened out so when it’s real I can upload all my data. I haven’t the slightest idea how many posts that will end up being but I’m guessing it will be over 10k.

So here I go again, check back often at pjsloungewear.com to see the progress.
I’ll try and post updates here as well but I’m gonna be busy getting this up and running.

My newest site

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Coupon Codes CorralWhether you think it sucks or not, I’m pretty proud of my newest site. It’s another Coupon Codes site, which is mostly what I do. And here it is… CouponCodesCorral

Not being a programmer or guru of any sort, I’ve put in many hours to get it to where it is today. It still needs a lot and I’m constantly changing my mind about certain things. The category feeds are killer. It’s taking forever to get them done but I’m getting there.

I searched and searched and couldn’t find anything that did what I wanted so I just went with feedburner. When all is said and done, I’ll have over a thousand feeds to choose from. :D

And again, this site is completely done in wordpress.
The logo (horse) being used isn’t mine, I found it somewhere but don’t remember at the moment .As soon as the sitegets going I plan on going to SOS Factory to get myself a unique mascot designed.

As for my content… I get “Promotional Data feeds” from CJ. They’re a mess and take toms of editing before I can use them. Still, they do make my life slightly easier. I also use LinkShare RSS Feeds and a few others. Though those are down at the moment.

That’s about it, Just thought I’d unveil my new site and will probably be posting more about it later.

And remember, If you’re looking for Coupon Codes, think CouponCodesCorral ;)

Get Clicky-Google Analytics Alternative

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

clicky.jpgWell I haven’t been updating this blog as often as I had planned. I’ve been very busy working on my affiliate sites lately.

Get Clicky may be old news to some but I just discovered it and I gotta say, it’s pretty cool. I’ve complained in the past about how Google Analytics reporting is off. And I’ve been searching for a new analytics solution for a while.

I just installed this on a few sites today so I’m gonna give it a week or so and then I’ll post a more thorough review. If you’re looking for an alternative to google though it’s worth checking out.

So check out Get Clicky or check back here in a week or two and I’ll put up a full review.
Maybe it’ll end up sucking. I just don’t have enough information to really talk about it at the moment though.

Why did I upgrade to Wordpress 2.5?

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Well I thought it would be cool. It’s not!
I watched the video and it looks sweet. Some of the added stuff like the gallery is very nice, Although I have to figure out how to get the thumbs  adjusted so portrait pictures don’t get chopped off at the top and bottom. Other than that it’s pretty cool. My one question is… What the hell did they do to the admin pages?

It’s nice but completely different.  Everything is moved around, renamed and just weird. They removed all of the page, post and category ID’s? All I can say is…WTF?
Someone has already written a plugin to help but category ID’s aren’t shown yet. But knowing how many plugins are out there that require a specific ID in order to function, I can’t imagine what made them think it would be a good idea to leave them out.

I’m sure I’ll grow to love it eventually but I personally this change was too drastic. Fortunately all of my plugins still seem to be functional, but  I’ll be waiting  to upgrade any of my other sites until I get used to it.

Wordpress Affiliate Shop Downloads.

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I’ve been getting a lot of email lately from people asking where they can download my Wordpress Affiliate Shop themes. The answer at the time was, you can’t.
I’ve been sending them out as people email me asking for them but that’s not something I want to have to do every day.

So here is the page you can download them.
