It doesn’t have to be as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Internet success isn’t a secret. It isn’t some code to be cracked. It isn’t some unobtainable goal.

Combine And Simplify
Looking at separation of my blogs into different categories seems like a great idea. I can make sure my topics are easily separated. I can make sure all of my readers know what they are getting.
Then something happened. I was setting up my blog for my portfolio. I had setup my pages as necessary. I then saw that there was an overlap. No big deal I guess. Then, I saw something else starting to form. Promotion.

Stepping Softly Into The World Of Child Themes
When you develop for WordPress, you start to pick up on things most blog owners don’t. That little nag in your theme, that plugin that is missing the one thing you were looking for in the first place. So on and so forth. So, you begin to look into the code. You see the change is relatively small, so you make it. But you know in the back of your head you shouldn’t have, because you know once your little plugin or theme gets updated, U R Screwed. So, you either redesign the goddamn wheel and make your own when there are plenty of good ones out there already or you make a baby, or child for that matter.
Footnotes – Pretty Sweet New Plugin
Andrew Nacin, a core developer for WordPress has made a great little pluign 1 that allows you to create footnotes in your posts. It is pretty handy. I have too many times when I write shit inside of paragraphs, (it is a compulsion of mine) because I have too much crap going on inside my head. But now I can just use those sweet little footnotes. 2
Notes:
- Simple Footnotes ↩
- Which is much better for me. ↩

A Word On Greek Mythological Figures
Someone asked me what the hell “Dolos” was in regards to my upcoming “Cool Marketing Plugin”. I told him that Dolos was the spirit of trickery, cunning deception, craftiness, treachery and guile. He was greek Mythological figure who was said to trick the greek gods into lying.
“Yea, but what does that have to do with Marketing?” he said.
Marketing is just a form of trickery. You sell the sizzle, not the steak. Well, people are buying the damn steak, not the sizzle. You are tricking them, (even if not maliciously) into a purchase by building up a wow factor. Sounds like trickery to me.

Finally Figured It All Out
While dealing and battling with what this blog was going to become, I hit a lot of snags in the line. First, it was a blog to sell my products. Failed. Then it became a blog to sell my services. Failded. Then it became a blog to sell my PLR Videos. Failed. Then, it became a personal blog. Failed. Then, it became a blog to broadcast my free plugins. Guess what? It has been the only thing with any sort of moderate success so far.
So because of this, I will be instead making this blog about my plugins, programming, and all things web coolness. Hopefully this will be the last change.
Later.

Can You Sell “Free” Software?
I have seen this on forums, blogs, and Yahoo! Answers for too long. People get something as PLR, or downloads it on the Interwebz and says, “but I want to change two lines and charge money for it. Can I do that?
The answer is actually “yes”.
Open source software, licensed in many different ways, all have that sweet freedom of doing whatever you want with it. The only catch is that you have to redistribute it as open source as well once you decide to redistribute it. Notice how I didn’t say you have to give it away. People sell open source software all the time. It is just common to give it away. But that has lead to the misconception that ALL open source software must be free.
How to Add A Link To Your Meta Widget
A quick cool little way to add a link to your little login widget in wordpress.

echo '<li><a href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a></li>';
}
/** The action to call */
add_action('wp_meta', 'add_meta_link');

Easy Countdown Timer – 1.0 “Chronos”
The latest plugin I have written is named after the greek god Chronos. Chronos is the personification of time. His name in modern Greek translates to the word “year” and he is even depicted in Greek art as a great man turning the Zodiac wheel.
Easy Countdown Timer is meant to give you control over your timers. Many plugins just let you countdown to a certain day. You input day, month, and year and that’s it. But time isn’t something that is so static. Many times you want recurring dates, repeating timers, and continual countdowns. The other plugins simply won’t let you do that. So you must go in and continually change this. That is a lot of work that no one wants to do.
