Choosing a theme is the hardest part

When starting a new blog, choosing the right theme in my opinion is the hardest part. There are so many themes out there to choose from, but choosing the right theme for your blog is hard. I’m currently looking for a theme for talkplaystation.com, i want a dark theme with 3 columns.

Google are indexing so fast i can’t keep up!

I’m very surprised at how fast Google are indexing my blog entries. This is good news for bloggers because it enables us to get the words out far quicker than ever before.

I dashed to the website and logged in to find something that looks like this: Quidco charge £5, but they only take £5 off you if you have made more than £5 cashback, so it’s not all too bad. I went on a massive spending...

BlogRush results after a week

I said i’d post some BlogRush results. Well now it’s been a week since BlogRush got activated on my blog.
