Who wants to be the next internet gazzzillionaire?

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

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 [...]

When masturbation goes wrong

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

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 [...]

Creating the perfect wordpress theme

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

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.
Ideally I’d like to include ‘latest stories’ from my other sites in the footer (or somewhere else), although I haven’t fully figured [...]

Burn Notice

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

You wake up. Cold and alone in an unknown environment. Nothing about your surroundings seems familiar. All you have are the clothes on your back. What do you do? How would you survive?
Fortunately for you, I’ve seen many movies, and therefore am quite the survival expert. The first step will be to make sure your [...]

Developments in the Swollen Pickles development

Monday, June 18th, 2007

It has come to my attention that Swollen Pickles has become less ‘pimped’ and more ‘whore’d’ of late. This administration agrees. Whilst AuctionAds and Adsense are cool, they are taking up a lot of page real estate. They fact that neither are super earners on this site might see both of those programs scaled back [...]

It pays to blog

Monday, June 18th, 2007

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 [...]

Allow He-Man to help shape your life

Monday, June 18th, 2007

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 [...]

Swollen Pickles cracks the top 100

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

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.

Viralink: the results so far

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

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 [...]
