Sorting the categories out

I’m going to review all my categories and see which ones i really need and don’t need. As this is a personal blog, and is about me and my venture to online success, i feel there are some categories i can get rid of and make into a niche on it’s own. For example, i don’t [...]

Finally sorted out indexing problem

I’ve just pre-ordered Rainbow Six Vegas 2

I’ve spoken about this game before here and here. When i heard Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was announced i wasn’t excited at all because i thought it would be a money spinning sequal.

At half time, what the hell did the [...]
