New PenPal Link on the Dumaguete Website.

A few years back, I became affiliated with Cupid Media, posting links to their pen pal/dating websites.

Following a tip from Google Adsense, I created a blog - Pen pal Website of the Week - as a way of getting these links out onto the Web. This blog help generate more commissions than anything thing else I had tried. Unfortunately, Blogspot.com decided that that blog was a scam site.

I was forced to delete that blog from Blogspot or risk total removal of my Google account.

This week, I've decided to resurrect that blog -sort of - onto the Dumaguete Website. Calling that page PenPal Website of the Week, I've created pages for different Cupid Media site ads. Eventually, I'll showcase each site; I'll post a different one each Saturday, along with archives for the others.

With luck, this will bring the revenue back up.

Trying Kampozer on the Dumaguete Website.

Realizing that the website needs a lot of work.......and knowing my knowledge of ccs is a handicap, I looked for and found a "web authoring system" that's helped me clean up the site. KompoZer.

You can compare the current screenshot with the previous one. I think it's an improvement.

I'm looking forward to using KompoZer to tidy up the loose ends (when I have time).

Still Much to do on the Dumaguete Website.

Not only has it been way too long since my last post on this blog, but I've seriously neglected the dumaguetecity.net website.

After purchasing a new monitor for my PC, I discovered that the website looked horrible on a more up-to-date wide screen monitor. I was at a loss as to what I should do.

After a bit of online research, I settled on putting style="width:1000px" into the body. Doing that helped, though I'm not 100% happy with the results. (I don't know how to center the whole thing ).

Cupidmedia - the penpal conglomerate with which I am an affiliate - recently notified me that I'd have to make some major changes with all their banners. This has been a major headache...... I managed to update the pen pal affiliates page but I've a lot more work to do changing banners.

The "Penpal Website of the Week" was declared "spam" by blogger.com, so it looks like I'll have to figure out some other way of getting my affiliate banners out to the world. I'm getting modest results from my Google ads, but I miss the little bit of money I was getting from folks signing up on the penpal sites via the now defunct blog.

On the positive side, I've been using the website to post parody news website pages for my Sorry, All The Clever Names Are Taken blog. That's help increase my meager knowledge of HTML.
