I’ve installed a new URL shortening script at URLism.com.  The old script worked fine and is still available here but I think the new script looks better and the “loading page” makes it viral too.  I’d love to receive some feedback about this.  Try the two versions of the site and let me know what you think.

Another difference between the two scripts is that the new one doesn’t require a MYSQL database because the URL’s are stored in a file which is uploaded during installation.  Also, there is a simple Admin area where URL’s can be edited or deleted and the number of hits is shown for each shortened URL.

I’ve purchased rights to the script so I hope to put up a salespage (I hate putting up salespages ) and if everything goes well I’ll put a link here on my blog.

I haven’t had many comments to this blog so please let me know what you think about the two scripts.  Thanks.

A few days ago a thought suddenly came to me:

Why am I trying to maintain a homepage and a blog?

I only need my blog.  I can continue to upload salespages and download pages as I do now, but for everything else I can use my blog.  My main website has a contact page, a faq page, an “about me” page etc but I can easily create these pages on my blog.

I feel so dumb and amateurish.  Whenever I visit the website of other internet marketers I usually arrive at a blog.  I can’t believe it has taken me so long to realise that this is what I should be doing.  Afterall, it is so much easier to maintain a blog than it is to maintain a regular website.

So from this point forward I will probably be making more blog posts.  I will also be including more links and graphics in my posts and I am constantly looking for useful widgets.

I have a couple of problems to deal with first though.  My blog is installed in a sub-directory so I think I will need to setup a redirect page to bring visitors to my blog from my main website.  I’m also anticipating that this will bring some problems in the form of HTML code.  I know the basics of HTML but it can be a pain getting everything right.

So, until my next brainwave bye for now.

I’ve just uploaded a script to my main website which allows the user to convert HTML code into a PDF file. The converter uses a WYSIWYG interface and is very easy to use. Simply enter the Title, Author, Subject and HTML code and press “Generate PDF” – its as easy as that!

I’ll be changing one or two things and placing some ads on the page, but the converter is ready to use right now.

This is ideal for anyone who is looking to create a professional looking report or ebook. I also intend to put up a sales page for anyone who would like to purchase the script – but I can’t put a timescale on this.
