Jude’s Eclectic Resources

I didn’t mean that I was closing this blog I will continue to maintain it, but it wont be a priority. I have asked to have it deleted from Entrecard and I have removed the widget. I have also removed any and all PPP code and will no longer do any sponsored posts. I haven’t decided yet which direction I plan to take with this blog yet, but I have been looking for a different template. My brain seems to be in a fog right now, but I’m trying to find my way through it.

I am planning on removing this blog from circulation for awhile until I figure out what to do with it so I’m going to remove all ppp code and remove it from Entrecard and work on making it something else as soon as the 15,000 credits I used to advertise with are used up.

It simply takes up too much of my time right now for this blog. I have sent ec’s to a couple of my favorite blogs and they are given with love for all of the support I have been given. I am fine and I will still maintain my other two blogs so don’t worry I’ll still be around.

I had to accept a couple ads because I had bought from them and they didn’t even check my blog first, but I have gone through and eliminated ads that weren’t accepted at the time I purchased and transfered the rest for this blog to my other one which cost 12% plus something in taxes…bummer and the 500 to each blog cost 64 tax credits each, pretty steep for all the work we put in.

I am seriously thinking about dropping ppp from this blog since I don’t write much for them and have even stopped dropping Entrecards as much for this blog because it’s too time consuming. I think I will try to get my pr back and do something else here. I will of course have to go through and nofollow everything which would take some time and I also think I might make comments no follow, but haven’t decided on that yet. I feel kind of wishy washy of late.

I added the searchstatus to my Firefox and can now see all of those blogs that say they have dofollow enabled, but don’t. Most of the blogs I leave comments at are nofollow, but I already knew that because most of them are blogger blogs. Many people hate to leave comments when they know they wont get even a link back, but others don’t care. It’s really hard to make a blog work when you don’t get traffic from search engines

Thus far I have had no problems with IE, but many people have reported Trojans. It has even hit our local news and they have been warning people to use another browser till they find a fix. I really don’t use this browser for much except to write a post here and there. My main browser is Firefox which I like much better anyhow. Well, I think I’ll go use up all my credits for Entrecard and I might not accept any more ads for this blog till after January because I don’t want people to waste their credits.

I haven’t been doing much with this blog of late I have been concentrating on my personal blog. As I’ve mentioned before I really don’t know what I’m going to do with this one yet. I added Adgitize to my other blog and it seems to be doing okay with visitors. Some people say they are making money with it, but to date I think I’ve only made about 3 dollars. I did buy an ad for 14 dollars for a month so I’m actually in the hole. It’s free to join though.

This has been a sunless dreary day and for the life of me I can’t muster up any energy to get anything done. I have tried working online, but I just keep flitting from one project to the next and I can’t focus on anything. I did manage to put my Christmas tree up and get that decorated and put together some ham and bean soup for dinner.

Holidays can be very depressing for many because the anticipation and getting everything done when you don’t have the money and this year is especially bad for so many. I have a sickness in my family and it’s very depressing for me right now. I simply try to cope on a day to day basis and learn to accept things out of my control, but it’s very hard knowing that you could lose that loved one at any minute.

At this point in my life I have decided that nothing makes sense to me and it doesn’t help knowing that I have started drinking again excessively and that I have an addictive personality because I like it. It seems to blur everything for me for awhile, but I know it only makes me more depressed and I know it’s killing my liver, but right now I don’t seem to care.

I have made a few resolutions, but I don’t tend to put those into effect till after the New Year. No one knows what tomorrow will bring and at this point in time I really don’t care. I just felt like putting these words out in cyberspace doesn’t really matter if anyone reads them, but me. Everyone deals with grief in their own way, death should be fast not linger and cause everyone so much pain.
