I have not updated this blog for quite sometime. A month, to be exact. I got a wee bit busy with my other blogs as well as with my other WaHJs. Work has been so sporadic lately that I try to catch it whenever it's released. Sometimes I get lucky, some other times, not so.
Anyway, I am thinking of moving this blog in wordpress. I have no idea how to do it but I can learn, right? I didn't know anything about blogger when I started blogging but here I am almost 3 years since I started. I'm guessing that in 3 years, I'll be saying the same thing. LOL....
I already started reading about wordpress but so far, nothing is making sense to me. I know some people who would be more than willing to help me out but I want to figure it out myself first. If and when I get stuck, they I'll 'probably' ask someone to help me out. For now, I'll take my time and read as much as I can to learn the ins & outs and everything in-between about importing & having a blog using the WP platform. Wish me luck????

Blog Header....M.I.A....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not quite sure what happened to the header of my blog but it has disappeared. I was trying to find a good header to replace the one that came with this free template and I don't remember taking out but it's now MIA.
I guess I have to start looking for a header ASAP or this blog will look odd without it. I may even change the template if I find another one more fitting with the theme of this blog. I haven't done any work on this blog today but we'll get on it as soon as get done with my tasks...

Blog Links
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I like exchanging links with other bloggers. I really do. But why do we exchange links with other bloggers? Is it to make the list longer and longer and even longer??
I admit it. When I started blogging, I just wanted to keep adding in my blog roll. I just wanted to collect 'blogger friends' in other words.
And that's what happened. My blogger list is now so long, I had to make another one...and I'm sure I may have missed some of those who wanted a link exchange as they get lost in the shuffle.
So now comes this question that has been burning in my head: Do you get to visit those who are in your blog roll regularly? Or do you just wait for them to come for a visit and then visit them back? How do you choose who to visit?
I have my answers to these questions but I'd rather keep them to myself for now.

Time Management
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or the lack thereof. I tried to limit my blog hopping today because I wanted to take some break. I still did some hopping...mostly 'hit backs' to those who came to visit my PinayWAHM blog.
I have been a very active blogger. It's just the way I am. Whenever I commit on doing something, I will really try my very best to honor the commitment and blogging is no exception.
Being a WAHM has its pros and cons just like any job that is done outside of the home. One of the cons is probably the tendency to mismanage time. Unfortunately, I am guilty of this. I don't think that I am even trying hard enough to manage my time so I could be very productive. I already attempted to do this once...take some time off since I came to a conclusion that a lot of things are being neglected because I stay in front of the computer pretty much all the time. But it only lasted for a day or two. After that, I'm back where I started.
So how do I change this? I honestly don't know. I stayed away from the computer as much as I could the whole day today but I did not really do anything productive. I just watched TV and did my usual chores. Tomorrow is laundry as well as cleaning day for me so I would be on and off again. But what I really want is that 'solid' schedule that I can follow pretty much everyday.
The problem is: Isn't flexibility one of the perks of being a WAHM? I surely think so. So now here I am still at a loss on what to do with this dilemma of mine. Oh well....I guess I'll try to come up with a plan someday.

Been A While...
Since I posted on this blog. I got real busy with life in general. My paid blogging picked up a little bit so I have been busy with that as well.
My domain - Pinay WAHM - finally got a rank after about 3 months. It's just a PR2 but it's better than an N/A or a PR0. I am trying to maximize the allowed posts because I'm sure the PR will disappear again one of these days. Ironically, the reason for that PR to disappear is what else but the paid posting I've been doing on it.
Imagine this...when a blog has no PR, there is very little chance that it would get any higher paying opportunities. As a result, majority of the posts will be the unpaid ones...which will in turn return give the blog a higher PR. As soon as PR is given, big paying opps will be available for the taking. So what do we do? Start grabbing those opps as much as possible. Therefore flooding your blog with paid opps now. What's going to happen? The PR will be taken away...resulting to non-paid opps again....and the CYCLE CONTINUES!!!
Oh well...I thought I'd post here today for a change. I have not posted in my Teacher's Corner blog as well. But that's only for a day or two. I'd probably leave that blog idle for a little while so it will be given a PR...hahaha!
Ciao...

Pop-Ups, Widgets, Add-Ons...atbp..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The past few days have been kinda' frustrating for a lot bloggers specifically those who are using the Blogger. Well, it's not a problem with Blogger per se but it seems that only those who are using Blogger are the ones greatly affected by what's happening.
Okay...so what am I talking about here. I am talking about the POP-UPS that have been coming up everytime some blogs are visited. I have had my share of seeing those unwanted pop-ups. They vary from simple ads like travel advertisements to PORN pop-ups. Yes, those! Fortunately the pop ups are not causing any virus or anything of the nature but it does not make them less stressing.
So where do the pop-ups came from? Actually, there is no way of really knowing where they come from. This is what we know right now, per our experience. It seems that some of the pop-ups are brought about by some of the WIDGETS that we use to make our blogs pretty and equipped in some ways. Well now, these widgets seem to equip our blogs with pop-ups as well. Unfortunately, the pop-up blocker we activate on our browsers don't work on these pop-ups so they still come up even with the blocker on.
So which widgets are causing these? Again, this is only per some bloggers account and experience. One is the Rank Widget. A blogger friend said that after changing her templates she started installing the widgets one at a time. As soon as she installed this specific widget, the pop-ups started. So she took it down and the pop-ups stopped.
So a word of advice. If you have some widgets in your blog and you are having some pop-up attacks...try removing the widgets then reinstall them one at a time and do the process of elimination.
That's about it. Hopefully it works to you as it did to the other bloggers I know. Goodluck.

Google Page Rank
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since my last entry is about 'blogging' as a possible WAHJ' [work-at-home job], I thought I'd elaborate more on this so-called Page Rank which is being given by Google.
Like I mentioned in my previous post, I really have no idea how the Page Rank is achieved. What I write here is just what I observe and my own take on the issue.
My 2 other blogs both had a PR of 3 at one point. My own domain used to be a blogspot like this one. It was only about a month old when it was given a PR3 by Google. A couple months ago, I decided to convert it to my own domain because advertisers seem to exclude blogspot from their list of allowed domains. I was advised that its PR would go away as soon as I convert it to my domain. It did and it's still a PR0.
Admittedly, I work more on my Pinay WAHM blog than in my other blogs. I only update my Teacher's Corner occasionally. So I was surprised when I found out that it was given a PR3. Cool. So I started working on that blog more. Guess what...as soon as worked on that blog daily the PR tanked. It's now a PR0 for about month.
So now both my blogs are PR0. I still get some opportunities but not as much as I used to get when one of my blogs had a PR. I'm fine with that until last week.
While I was doing some bloghopping, I noticed that other blogs that used to be PR0 are getting PR 3. Cool. So I tried my blog's PR...nope, both still have a PR0. For kicks, I checked the PR of my old blogspot account...the one that I converted into my own domain. Here's what I saw:
Yes, that one has a Page Rank of 4!!! Why? I have no idea. I'm sure it's not backlinks because all those are on the new domain. The entries are also mostly under the new domain. The only reason I can think of as to why this old blog has a very high PR is because....because...because...nothing!

Teacher's Corner
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is Teacher's Corner
This is my very first blog. I have a hard time figuring out some things about it so I just didn't mess with it for a while. As a matter of fact, I still have a hard time figuring out this blog. I try to post here as much as I can.
I originally called it: Peek-a-Boo!..LOL. Why? Because I couldn't think of anything to call it. Once I started applying for some paid blogging sites, I decided to change its 'screen name' to Teacher's Corner. Why that name??? Does my being a teacher have to do with it? Definitely.
I have plans of writing more 'education/teacher' related posts here. Again, time is my enemy here. Well, actually, it's more like 'time management'....
Anyway, that's about it. When you get the chance, please visit this other 'place' I call "Teacher's Corner"...

Pinay Wahm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is PINAY WAHM
It's my own domain. I spend most of my blogging time here since it's easier to work on compared to my other blog...Teacher's Corner which is my very first blog.I originally wanted to make this blog a resource of some Work-at-Home-Jobs. Well, that didn't happen because LIFE got on the way. I have some work at home jobs and during the time I started this blog, those jobs started picking up. Then paid blogging also happened during those times.
Anyway, I just thought I'd introduce you to my other 'home'.
