Unfortunately its true. In the need to get a deposit together to buy a house (thanks to the GFC) I have made the decision to sell Scribblescratch. Hopefully the new owner will keep me on as a writer.

Something completely off topic but should make you smile. The following have been culled from real church bulletins. Thank the Lord for typos and best intentions. Enjoy.

Before I start any online endeavour I have a morning ritual that I like to complete. It comes with that sense of anticipation of wanting to find out how all my hard work has rewarded me during the night. It is particularly relevant to me as I live in Australia and work mostly with US audiences who are active whilst I am asleep. So my morning ritual generally goes a little like this:

Buying expired (or more accurately soon to be expired) domains can be extremely beneficial to a new websites ranking, pagerank and number of inlinks. Buying a domain with 1000 inlinks saves you money and time trying to achieve the same result with a new website. Also its fairly common knowledge that the age of a domain is an important rankng factor with the search engines. Anyway why you buy an expired domain is beside the point, heres a nice simple tip to help you find expired and related domains.

You may have noticed the wordpress theme I am using has a section for a Headline article and another section for featured articles. Supposedly the best, most thorough or enjoyable post should fill this most loftly of positions. But I have a problem and I would hazard a guess that I am not the only one who has this problem.

I have a friend who has written a 1500 page novel, edited it countless times and is now trying to get it published. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with his dedication and patience to complete such an enormous task. As a blogger I am lucky to have enough patience and dedication to read all my emails without being sidetracked with something else. An analogy of blogging I often use is the primary school classroom. The authors and novelist are sitting on the bean bag in the corner quietly reading their books and us bloggers are running around the room, screaming, hitting other kids, throwing toys, opening drawers, and frustrating the hell out of the teacher. So how does a blogger overcome this inherent ADD issue. The answer is setting short term goals.

March 2010 not only marks the start of a new season it is also the 4th anniversary since the first tweet was sent. Its amazing to think that Twitter, the global social phenomenon has only been around for 4 short years and grown into one of the top 50 most popular websites according to alexa.com. Personally I was an early adopter signing up for my twitter account in late 2006 after hearing positive reviews about it being the next big thing on other websites similar to this one. Despite my almost non-existent participation with twitter since, I am still going to make a claim that may demonstrate my ignorance and marginalise me from every social user in the world.
