Interesting things happening last month
Nothing much, really. I was playing around with the Logo Creator and created some logo designs casually. I was quite amazed at how easy it was to create elegant looking logos using the software.
Made these 2 logos with it and being paid for the work:
I’ve also made my own advertisement slot banner using the Logo Creator (both for the weekly and monthly banner):
Feel free to contact me if you like my logo/banner design above and have some casual work for me

Hi Michael, congratulations on the traffic, still solid. You really made great looking logos like a pro eh. Hehe, will also check it out.
Thanks, Roel. It’s not really pro-looking but I guess it’s quite simple and elegant to my client
Sometimes, simplicity works best
congrats on the traffic and the earnings! I was kinda expecting a higher adsense earning for your tech blog.
Unfortunately tech blog doesn’t have a good AdSense conversion (tech-savvy readers) and rates (probably around 3-20 cents a click
)

I’m so jealous of your search engines traffic
Do you get hits a lot from people searching for sexy women pics? 
Actually, I harvest search engine traffic for flash game related articles.
Also, what threaded comment plugin are you using, or you style your comments css manually?
Congratulations, Michael, great job!
Wow when you told me in e-mail you earned 110$ with the logos I honestly didn’t understand, but didn’t want to ask back either, now I get it! Nice job, congrats!
lol Jani, you don’t have to be scared of asking me about anything!
Nice solid numbers there Michael. I know what you mean about Adsense it tech blogs. Have you been spending less time with Entrecard, as I noticed you stats have quite low?
Yeah I’m sure you know how it feels like, Paul
As you’ve noticed, I’m not that active on Entrecard anymore (I don’t do drops that often except reciprocating and I don’t advertise my blog much on EC).
Being “popular” on Entrecard means having to reciprocate hundreds of drops every day and it tires me
Great stats. Keep up the good work.
BTW, what is Logo Designing? You earned quite good in that.
Well I can’t beat your AdSense earnings, unfortunately
Tech blog sucks!
Logo designing – well basically people want to have a logo being redesigned when they set-up a new company or open a new site. I gave a few design proposals, they liked it, and they paid me
Oh michael, I’m catching up to you with animeready! almost there!
but mymytech, oh man, it’s like dead now.
keep up your work~
ps – oh I didn’t notice your change in commenting, I think I should change it too
Grr! You are beating me so quickly now, Dan! I guess I need to set-up a new blog to beat you back! lol
Congrats on the new site and looks like it’s going to a better direction. Who cares with your mymytech
Ah.. I think I need to set up a new different kind of blog to get more income
You need to read my post about WordPress 2.7 Beta 1
It’s a built-in feature on WordPress 2.7 (to be released some time this month!). Nice, isn’t it? The bad news is, you need to modify your current theme manually to accommodate and it’s not a trivial task O_o
