A Month Off Blogging

Emily — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 06:50:07 +0000

I took a month off from blogging recently. I still did blog, but with twenty blogs in my name, there were blogs that I blogged daily, sometimes with multiple posts per day and there were blogs that I blogged once a week. For most of my passion blogs, I did not even access for an entire month.

I do this sometimes because I need to put things into perspective and I do not want to feel like blogging has become a chore. I used to pressure myself but after two years of full time blogging, I know when I should let go and when to only do what matters the most.

Of course, my traffic suffered a lot during this month which means that my affiliate income went down the drain too. However, my AdSense revenue stayed strong and I am happy for that. It shows me which blog has the most potential to earn from AdSense and which blog has the most search engine friendly keywords.

During my sabbatical, it did not mean that I ran out of topics to blog about. In fact, there were many topics that I would love to comment on or provide an opinion but I did not feel like I MUST blog about it when I come across something. Blog addicts would understand what I mean.

Without an attachment to my passion blogs, I had plenty of time on my hands. I could sleep more and I caught up on Korean and TVB dramas and movies. I don’t know when I would start blogging intensively again but I guess I would soon be bored with doing “nothing”.

Back To Blogging

Phew!!! I have not been blogging much during the Olympic Games mainly because I as too busy WATCHING the Games and compiling Google logo art on Beijing 2008, which are absolutely cute, except for the two with the pathetic looking tiger.

Although I am not even an athlete in the Games, just watching them participate in the many events tired me out. I think I am recovered from the exhaustion already so it’s now time to get back to work on updating my blogs more regularly and not sleep as much! Hehe

If you have missed the Google logo art on Beijing 2008 which just concluded, don’t worry, I have compiled them HERE. I don’t think I will be taking them down even though the Olympics fever is over…. until London 2012, that is!

Blogger BX Error Code: bX-jq5i9y – Could Not Publish

Emily — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 01:55:37 +0000

As a blogger with seven blogs on Blogger (Blogspot); three of them active, two semi-active and two retired, I was pretty annoyed recently when I encountered the Blogger Error Code bx-jq5i9y on two blogs.

If you remember, not too long ago I had an issue with changing my Blogger layout. It was on a test blog, so I thought that I could solve that by setting up another test blog but the same thing happened.

I made reports on the error about editing my Blogger layout and it seems fine now. However, the ability to edit or change my layout is just a small concern compared to the disability to publish my posts! Sometimes I need to publish tens of posts in a short period of time and if I had faced this glitch during one of those crazy times, I guess I would pop a vein or something.

Once again, I made a report after trying numerous times and a lapse of more than an hour. Blogger.com has said that only if more people report on a certain issue would they assign someone to look into the problem. So, if you are facing the same problems, or encountered a BX Error Code, make a report.
