Nearly ready...

Well I've spent most of this week working on my eBook How To Deal With Your Anger and the website that interacts with it - it's a large and complicated task but has enabled me to improve my knowledge of .php programming quite a lot. I also had to learn how to design an icon so that when my eBook is sitting on a computer screen it looks pretty...

I really enjoy learning new things and programming certainly stimulates my creative juices...

The eBook itself is at what I call the difficult stage, with several people proof-reading it and suggesting improvements/changes. All good but it does get a little bit repetitive repetitive repetitive....

Still it's almost the weekend and I hope to take a bit of a rest. I've got my monthly newsletter ( http://www.protectics.co.uk/ma ) to finish (IT'S LATE) and get out - but hopefully that will be done and dusted by this time tomorrow.

Mysterious - the sequel...

I have published my blog but a post I've just made is not showing up... SPOOKY...

I have re-edited and re-published it and still NO SHOW... VERY SPOOKY...

So I'll copy it here and I'm betting that the minute I do that the original post will show up too - just to annoy me... That's blogging for you...

Is it any wonder that there's sometimes months between my posts.... Of course maybe it's a punishment from the blogging gods...

It's a mystery - I've just checked the sales stats for my eBook on How To Deal With Verbal Aggression and sales are down to zero for the last three weeks...
It's very strange, sales do vary and sometimes a week will go by without any sales (Best week ever was 43 eBooks) but three weeks in a row...
I've checked the website http://www.verbalaggression.com and it's working fine - and I've also checked several of my affiliates' sites (I sell the eBook via Clickbank http://www.clickbank.com) and they are fine too...
Oh well the mysteries of marketing and sales are dark arts beyond my understanding...
It's probably the Universe telling me to get my finger out and launch my new eBook on Anger Management... Soon, Universe, Soon...

Spam

Well I decided today that enough is enough - some 'dweeb' posted a comment that had a link to porn... So I enabled comment moderation and deleted those comments on this blog that were ONLY spam - I don't mind creative marketing but sometimes people are simply taking the 'michael'...

So, what was I doing before the spam comment got emailed to me - Oh yes, altering my newsletter subscription script so as to try and track down why once in a while we get a void signup for the list with no data in it - very strange....
The signups come from (it seems) only the home page http://www.protectics.co.uk Oh well hopefully the new changes will highlight when it happens then I can begin to figure out why...

What did I actually set out to do this morning....

Hmmmm - I was going to work on the webpage for my forthcoming eBook on Anger Management - guess I'll get around to that soon....

God a Kolb

Got a head-cold or flu and in true manly fashion 'IT HURTS'...

Really finding 'blogging' hard work - I would like to post entries regularly but can't find the time - am busy at the moment with some new products/websites.
