for some reason my blog has been down all morning, but now its back. I think smartyhost must have broke themselves. I sent them some emails asking why my site was down, they replied telling me that iwas all fin and fixed. So then i had to email them again and say the same thing becasue it wasnt fixed. But now finally it is.
I could have lost my audience becasue of smarty host, all 2 of you.
I know you may not be wanting to use a muslim online dating service and you also may not really want to help support the bounty associaction of California, but you can click on the ads. The more you click the more i can blog, you see my server is almost full and once its full i cant afford to upgrade unless i have dosh.
So keep the dream alive
support thehowie.net
click on the ads.
this is a graph of visitors per month to my blog.
having ads is fun.
I get about 6 cents (US) per click through.
so far i have made $1.30 (US)
Well you have probably noticed that my blog now has an advertisment at the top and another one on the side in the menu bar.
And you are probably thinking. “what the hell is he doing?”
Well you see i’m not a very rich man, so any little bits of money i can get are very welcome. So i signed up to get ads from google and i get paid on the amount of click throughs.
I have tried to get the as little intrusive as i can. And the ads will be tailoured to the content of my site, so it shouldnt be too bad.
I’m sorry if it makes you angry, but you’ll live!
Well i know its getting anoying for me and probably you too.
Soon my comments will be fixed. Soon order will be restored.
Currently i am using wordpress to power my blog, but one of the files has managed to get corrupted. So David the IT man is going to help me upgrade to a newer version of wordpress and hopfully solve all commenting problems and also make it so spammers have no chance of leaving comments or trackbacks.
so yay,
eta about two weeks.
ok i havent fixed my comments, but i’m on the right track. Chris helpem me get a template happening again. now i just need to fill in the missing php.
While my comments are broken i figured i need some sort of make shift commenting system.
so if you want to leave a comment just email it to comment@thehowie.net and tell me the post you are commenting on and i’l stick the comment at the bottom of the post.
bit dodgy but its better than nothing
Jenny You’re right this is dodgy
Michaela C well i have never posted a comment on your blog so i thought it would be fun
to do it know! well doing it this way might be dodgy but at least you get
comments! no one puts comments on my blog 
Due to comment spam overloading by online casinos.
you can no longer place a link anywhere in a comment incliding in the webpage box.
sorry.
is my blog broken.
can you see the links list on the side ?
or do you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page?
It seems to work in some browseres but not in others.
as you can see i have a new template. all very exciting.
Anyway the image at the top isnt very interesting so if people want to make me some I’ll put them up. The image size i’m looking for is width 600 pixels and height 300 pixels.
yay!
Yesterday was the biggest day in the history of my blog. I have never had more than 200 visitors in one day, last week i had 199 and then yesterday 214.
you crazy people
Caution workment ahead! My blog might look at bit ugly over the next few days, I’m just upgrading a bit and giving it a bit of a makeover. But due to my slowness it may take a few days.
I’ll still be posting just the template is a bit of a mess.
cheers
Just to let you know that if you leave a comment on this blog and you put a link in the comment, like in the actuall comment box then it will not get posted. Thanks to my trusty spam filter. So dont put links in your comments cause it just means you comment gets deleted. you can put links in the box that says ‘homepage’.
ta
just thought i should clear that up because i think some people (aside from texan online casinos) have been putting links in your comments.
i get quite a lot of hits on this page from people searching for stuff in search engines. THere is normally quite a few funny ones.
This one stood out, it occured on monday.
“girls eating beans and farting”
Yep someone typed that into a search engine and for some reason they eventually ended up at my blog.
we there you go 20,000 visits to my blog. And the Grand winner is Luke Walker, have no idea who he is but well played!
For your hard work i’ll post you something out of my room.
just a a few hundred visotors away from reaching 20,000 visitors to this site.
So to celebrate the fact that no one seems to have a life these days and you all waste your time in front of computers. I am going to give stuff away like there is no tomorrow.
Also if you visit and find that you are the 20,000 visitor make sure you leave a coment and i’ll send you some usless article that i own and no longer need or a birthday present that i didnt like. something like that.
I wonder how much it costs to post a broken video player
Yesterday was the biggest day in the history of my blog in terms of visitors.
It was the first time it has topped 100 ending the day on 116.
the thing is no one seems to leave comments, so many visitors but no love
crazy people what the hell are you doing.
go outside or something!
there are 192 countires in the world.
I have had visitors from 116 of them to my blog
i have conqured 60% of the world….Muuuhuuuhaaahaaa
To celebrate reaching 11,000 visitors I have made a new banner thing for the top. Well actually i have just made 10 variations on it. So everytime you visit the page or refresh your browser it should show a new image.
just a bit of fun.
