Want to Guest Blog Here?

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Whether you want more exposure or if you just love blogging, you can now be a guest poster to NeonScent!

Benefits for Guest Blogging Here

  • More exposure!
  • Your name in every post, a link to your blog, an author page promoting you and your blog.
  • Your profile page on the sidebar, along with your blog.
  • Experience, to expand your online web presence.
  • Earn the reputation in your field.
  • Be part of a growing community.
  • Right now, there is no solid, individual pay. But, later this year, we may all be receiving pay!

How will this work?
Every blogger will be assigned a category which they have a passion an expertise in. A day will be assigned, or chosen. Every week, the blogger will post on their day, more if they want.

  • Posts must be original work, not published anywhere else before or after submitting to NS.
  • Any work/quotes/images by anyone else must be properly credited to the author.
  • NS reserves the right, with no obligation, to monitor any content, whether deemed inappropriate, and to terminate and/ or decline.
  • These terms and conditions may be changed, amended, terminated at any time, with or without notice.

A Revamp, A Comeback!

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Hello to all my fellow bloggers and readers! I’ve been very busy over the last few weeks. But no worries. For I bring you… a whole new layout, a whole new light, a whole new schedule. You’ll be seeing blog entries regularly. In fact, nearly every day! :)
So thank you for reading, and I’ll see you later! I have a lot of catching up to do!

Starting ‘08 with New

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

First of all, I would like give an apology to those whom I promised updates back in September 2007. I’ve been quite busy over the last few months, and just not in the blogging mood. The new design, if you haven’t already seen it, was put up today.

On a side note, some lucky bloggers, such as Rhys, Steven Snell, Rob O, who has Guest-Blogged here last, got free front-page links for 3 months. Congratulations, and thank you to all the guest bloggers who have blogged for me!

There have been dozens of Blog Catalog members adding me on blog catalog, and I have been getting an overwhelming amount of notifications in my mailbox! Thank you for adding, but I will not be able to add you back anymore, since there are so many requests.

Notes for August

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

August was a fairly good month; although I was away for all of it. Apologies for infrequent updates! I’ll give you a quick update on what’s happening.

  • RSS subscribers gone up 3%. See next point.
  • Daily visitors gone down 1%. (Expected.) From nfrequent update; turns into RSS subscriber.
  • Revenue went down 10%.
  • Darr did a good job managing this blog; thanks Darr! She even left comments “for” me on other blogs linking back here! Your blog will be mentioned when you decide to open one.
  • Sidebar switched to other side. Optimized for FireFox. Opinion is welcome!
  • The pewter polliwog I won at the Blogathon 2007 from Polli was received a few days ago! Here are some pictures so you get a good idea what I won. Click to enlarge. Images not resized.

Everything should be back to regular next week. A side note that I am working on a project just so you know if I don’t blog as often. Thanks everyone for reading!

Darr is the Star

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

Hi everyone! I’m Darr and I’ll be the star at this blog while Grace is away! I don’t author a blog right now; I like to just write guest posts. If you’d like to write a guest post for this blog, contact me (I’m in charge right now, remember?) and we’ll talk it out.

And I definitely am the star, because Grace let me do the One Word meme “for” her, because she didn’t have enough time to do it, what with the award making and organizing guest bloggers.

Guest Bloggers Needed

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

Every blogger needs a break (once in a while). I’ll be taking mine from August 1st to August 22nd. And in the mean time, I will need guest bloggers to blog for me. I might write a post once in a while, but it’s mostly up to the guest bloggers.

I’m looking for 6-8 guest bloggers, since most bloggers have their own blogs, so they don’t have to spend a lot of time guest blogging here. The topics I’m looking for (other topics may be accepted): making money online, blogging tips, social media, web development, web design, seo, and blogging discussion.

Benefits for Guest Blogging Here

  • More exposure! 
  • Your name in every post.
  • 2-3 sentences about yourself and a link to your blog (you got it! The more quality posts you write, the more links you get!).
  • 1 lucky guest blogger (randomly drawn) will get a free review complete with multiple screenshots, multiple links, and min. 500 words from me when I’m back.
  • There may also be a revenue share within the two weeks that I’m gone.

Guest bloggers may also be invited to do future posts as a guest blogger, with the above benefits.

If you think you can do it, send me a message with your information and some writing examples, I’ll get back to you.

Buy Me a Beer (Drink) Plug-in Installed

Friday, July 13th, 2007

If you aren’t familiar with the Buy Me a Beer WordPress plug-in, read about Buy Me a Beer.
This was requested by Benedict from Tech Corner who got me $2 for a coffee. (I enjoyed it.) So I’ll be testing this plug-in for one to two weeks, and I’ll see how it turns out. I’ll be reporting the people who’ve treat me to a drink at the end of each week. :)
How about treating me to a drink now?

Get to Know Other Readers

Monday, June 25th, 2007

There are some readers of this blog that just manage to comment on every post. This post is to encourage lurkers to comment. If you’re shy like some people out there, this is your chance to say anything you want. Discuss whatever you want; movies, projects, blogs, making money, etc. Tell us a little bit about yourself; where you live, where you were born, etc. so it will be easier to comment in the future when you know other commentors.
Happy commenting! (I hope to see lots!)

48 Hours of Technical Difficulties

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

After 48 hours of technical difficulties, NeonScent is back up. A WordPress plug-in messed up the system, and everything had to be deleted. The non-WordPress pages are still being uploaded, so please be patient.

  • All comments were  “lost”; they are embedded onto the text, but are not counted as comments. Top Commentators list reset.
  • The blog was backed up by Blog Backup Online. All posts were saved.
  • Non-WordPress pages are still being uploaded

And thank you everyone for visiting. A new post will be made when everything is back to normal. Have a great day!

My First Month

Friday, June 1st, 2007

NeonScent is now one month old!
I’m very happy and I want to thank my readers, subscribers, and commentators for supporting and visiting this blog. There are certain people that I always seem to see on my Top Commentators and Latest Visitors sidebar widgets. I’ve randomly picked two:

and

I would also like to thank PureBlogging and JohnTP for including my articles in several of their links posts.
Thanks to everyone else for reading this. Continue to Support Me By Buying Me Coffee!

Woah! Thank you so much for the link ;) I’m eternally grateful! Heh! I can’t image being so lucky having my name randomly picked, since I’m usually a magnet of bad luck :D haha!

Anyway congratulations! Well Neonscent doesn’t look 1 month old… it looks older since the way you blog resembles that of a veteran blogger, because of all that amazing, wonderful tips you’re shared with the rest of your readers. I must say that you’ve done an amazing job and has invested a lot of effort in this blog! All the best :)
