This has been floating around for a while but I never bothered posting about it until I also saw one of the ‘audition’ videos (you’ll see!).
Any, basic summary, you may not know it, but as I type this there is a competition going on. Nerds doing battle to become the next “internet millionaire” as part [...]

File this story under ‘what the deuce?’ This is perhaps the weirdest story I’ve read in a little while. The headline really tells the story, “Stab victim ‘continued masturbating”, but perhaps is best accompanied by a quote from the prosecutor:
“Despite his injury, it seems (Mr Blair) continued to masturbate while in the garage,” the prosecutor [...]

I’ve set myself a not so simple task. To create the perfect wordpress theme to use on swollenpickles. First step will be sitting down with a pen and paper to sketch the rough layout.

It has come to my attention that Swollen Pickles has become less ‘pimped’ and more ‘whore’d’ of late. This administration agrees.

If you’ve read any of the posts relating to my personal goals then you will be well aware that PayPerPost have been my biggest earner to date. It was only after joining PayPerPost that I realized that it was possible to make money blogging. I can also say, without a doubt, that PayPerPost has been [...]

There is something missing in the cartoons of today. When I was young they used to mean something. They were entertaining and did a community service. Take 1980’s classic He-Man for example. He busted up bad guys then at the end taught you a little life lesson. I’m proud to say that He-Man made me [...]

Well I’ve been on the list for three weeks now and I’m slowly but surely climbing the ladder in the Top 100 Australian Blogs. As of the last update I’m number 76 on the list.
With any luck Swollen Pickles will keep moving up the list.

Just over a week ago I posted about the Viralink project, with the intention of seeing whether or not it would actually work. Well, I’m not sure exactly what effect it has had on my traffic, but I have noticed a fairly significant increase in my Technorati authority rating.
Just prior to the original post my [...]

Here’s a great new way to make some extra cash online. The News Room is a new services that provides countless new stories that can be embedded (or ‘mashed’) into your own site or blog. The concept is pure genius as by embedding the video, you are also earning a share of the advertising revenue.
