My Black Friday blog is picking up steam now. Last year I cracked $1k in a week and I'm hoping to do the same this year :cool:

I really enjoy working on seasonal blogs because I have such a short attention span, it's easier for me to really crank out some content for 2 or 3 weeks and get a big pop before working on the next site. I have a Superbowl related one as well that I'll be working on come January.

This is a good idea, I've been mulling over the idea of doing a deal blog for a while now, but honestly it seems like too much work for me. Last year I played around with amazon affiliate links and made like $200 for doing next to nothing, it was pretty awesome. Unfortunately other affiliate sites require a website, so that looks like my next step, I guess.

I have a reasonable idea, I just need to follow through with it. I don't think a blogger template is going to be good enough for this one, and I've been out of the web design thing for quite some time. So - bleh.

Well I took the leap, got some hosted space and installed wordpress. Of course I was going to do a specific-topic blog first to see how that goes, but of course I jumped right in to doing a "deal blog". I'm not sure that it's going to be even remotely successful, but whatever. Once you have a taste of the sweet sweet affiliate marketing you don't want to go back.

I'm to the point where I want to start changing some design elements of the templates and that means probably switching my templates and having to edit the PHP/CSS manually. And mehhhhhhh, lazy!
