Carnival Whining an Epilogue
After the fiasco that was my attempt at hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance (although that post is one of the most popular I have ever had), I ran into yet another interesting whine from one of the many posters who I included in the overly long post (this was found in Stumbleupon):
Host left out [...]
Carnival Hosting a commentary
I had forgotten that I had volunteered to host the Carnival of Personal Finance, this past weekend, so when I got the e-mail from the Carnival owner I was surprised and a little panic’ed as well.
I had written a posting already for Monday talking about Family Day in Ontario, and after taking a few minutes [...]
New Advertisers and 2.7.1
Wordpress 2.7.1 is installed on both sites now although the automatic upgrade in Wordpress seems to have failed. I used Dreamhost’s 1 click upgrade instead, which seems to have worked no problem (which is a nice change too). The 1 click upgrade may be the way to go in the future, we shall see.
Advertising seems [...]
Merry New Year

Wikinvest and Polls
Tried out a poll from the new Polldaddy plug in on my site on my post: Rates Are Down by 1/4% but haven’t had much interest in the poll. Figured I would see if anyone is actually interested in that kind of interaction with the web site, it seems so far the answer is “No”, [...]
How to get more content working on my site
On Canadian Personal Finance Opinions yesterday I posted an article posted Posting Number 1000 which effectively was the Favorites page from my web site. What actually happened was I started with the Favorites web page, saw that it was woefully lacking in content, so I expanded it with my favorite Pillar Posts and then posted [...]
This is a Fake?
After attempting to expand this site and working on a few things, I decided to see if I could maybe add to the monetization by adding this fine site to ReviewMe (since ReviewMe has already accepted Canadian Financial Opinions as a valid site). To my surprise I was replied with the following statement from the [...]
