Green Flamingobecause I said so

Well, I am slacking off. Published late in the day, this post is useless on the 28th for some people. Anyway, this is the last in the Ideas And Updates series. This is the advice.

Here is it…

drum roll if you want and you have drums…

keep things short

That is my advice to you. I should tell you why as well.

Most make money online bloggers sort of target those longer posts, the ones that will have people marvel at their writing skill. They use unnecessary words, to many its and thats and so on.I read posts that if they were converted to a distance, would be kilometers or miles long. Take The University Kid for example. His posts are those page long posts. It takes you a while to read them. They can be good, with  lot of information, be he could cut down on word usage. Now Jason’s posts are not usually the ones that use extra words, they are just really long. Why target long posts? If you have something really long to say, you might consider breaking it down into other, smaller posts. These three in the series, when I posted the first one, I was originally going to put it all into one huge post, three topics, but I decided to do this series. This, my 103rd published post, could have been my hundred and first if not broken down (more posts doesn’t really mean anything either by the way). So keep things short and to a minimum. Your readers don’t like those kilometer/mile long posts either.

Time for the updates people. Get rockin’ with new things. I have a few things to tell you about the progress of myself and this blog.

So, what has been updated? Look at the top links. They all work. That is all except blog, an since this is a blog, I don’t need anything there. Any ideas to change it to? If so let me know. The about page is getting settled, I am still not finished, but it works for now. I may put child pages under the about page, because there are so many categories. The contact page is working, no contact form but enough ways that you can contact me, either through email or through instant messaging.

As you probably noticed, and how it has been that way for about a week, the RSS button is much bigger. I give a special thanks to Big Ben Patton for helping me with this.

I have been working on fulfilling some of the suggestions sent out to me at Blog Premiere, one of which is a header logo. I created a button, now only to get it in there properly. I now learned that the style sheet controls colors and sizes and other stuff (dumb newbie, aren’t I?) which helps me a bit in trying to increase the size of certain elements.

These are updates for my website, and I have other updates too. These could have fallen in ideas, but who cares.

I am writing a book/ebook guiding you to live a better life. You may think I cannot accomplish this feat, but I think I will. If you know, I type an average of 5000 words a day, including blog posts, comments, IM, etc. So I hope I will be able to step up the pace, and maybe slow down how long my comments are, some of them are a few paragraphs long.

Look for the next post on advice to being a better writer! I will see you soon!

I’ll tell you a bit what this post is about, because it extends farther than that title can carry it. I have many ideas in my mind, I will relay them to you, and also give you advice. I just keep reading these blogs that need some changes.

Let’s start with ideas.

I will put some of these ideas on a separate page, because they are similar to goals. I will be starting a few new websites I am hoping. Once I have the money situation set up where I will be able to handle it and invest my money into domains and hosting then the new websites will start.

Recipe/cooking website – I have already started thinking on this one, not that hard to pull together. I will be targeting the cooking niche, adding some of my own recipes as posts. Yum yum!

Other design websites – Besides interior design, I specialize in many other types of design too. One of the main ones though will be on web design like Shauryadeep.com. By that time, I hope I will be able to create my own theme.

I may be going down the photshop route soon. I long and difficult trail I hear, through jungle areas that are hard to learn to adapt to. There are a few things I want to use photoshop for. One of them, I want to be able to create different backgrounds, behind a window, or anywhere, this would be used mostly in my design, as in the photo shoot I am coming out with soon. I will announce the coming of the first RSS only post, which will introduce the photo shoot. When Green Flamingo Designs goes up, it’ll be in the portfolio section.

I am also thinking about devoting a website to StarWars, another favorite of mine. This will probably go up  the soonest after Green Flamingo Designs because there are star wars things going on. Yoda has also asked to participate regularly, and may be one of the admins behind it meaning I would not have to do all the work. This will be nice. He will probably write some long essays on what actually happened, the movies didn’t alter much, but the movies did emphasize the events.

I think that is all for now, there will be three parts on this series (at least I think so), this one the ideas, next the updates, and then the advice. See you soon.

Time for another change. As always when thinking about a change, especially in furniture, furnishings, houses, and so on, I have millions of ideas. And saying that gave me an idea! I could sell my counselling to people that need ideas with their home. But I won’t get into that now. But it may help me get on the express. So with the change, it’s more than just change of housing and furniture. It might be a big change.

 One thing that is on my mind and is sad to me, is that Grandpa was diagnosed with leukemia cancer. He will be able to be treated but there is no cure for it. Anyone who has it will die from it at some point. He may live for a few months or a few years. No one knows. But I was hoping he would be able to stay in this world longer to teach us more things. It would have been nice to know that he was going to be around for a long time without being sick. He has thought about dying I’m sure, but was surprised with this outcome, but he accepts it.

Another change that’s not just how my house looks is that in a few  months (June if it happens) my mom may be moving. This would be to help with work, to do channelling. This is OK, but we would live with our dad all of the time. hat would be OK too, but there are still setbacks.

The whole idea of us living with our dad for maybe six months is what sparked these ideas. I now have ideas for throwing away and selling stuff, and I am even going to look on realtor.com or craigslist for a house. I have some ideas, but we may not even be moving. That’s the basic change, just trying to think of a way to make money, but I think I almost have one nailed. Are those kind of ideas special? Would you pay for me to give suggestions out to make your home a better place? It’s a thought. Who knows what’s around the corner.
