I did a stupid thing. When I decided I wanted to change this blog to focus on how to make money blogging, I deleted a bunch of old posts.

Those old posts had a lot of trackbacks from other sites. I had maintained a PR2 for quite some time. Now, I’m guessing, since I deleted those posts my PR has dropped to 0.

Do I care?

Heck yea, I care. It limits my ability to make money from Sponsored Reviews or PayPerPost. I’ll have to switch gears into somtehing more unique. In the end, it may be a good move for me. I’ve considered “reposting” those old links (with the handy feature in WP that lets you change the permalink), but not sure if it would work.

What do you think? Rebuild from scratch or bring back the old stuff as much as I can in an attempt to recover?

Once I’ve made my millions from blogging, I plan to travel. A lot. We’d love to spend three or six months running around Europe, seeing the sites, acting like we don’t have a care in the world. I’d love to go back and visit Ireland, the chocolate shops in Belgium, and explore Italy for the first time.

Hey, a guy can dream, right?

The only problem with going overseas for any length of time — vacation, business, missionary work, whatever — is staying in contact with those at home. This is getting easier with e-mail and the like, but if I took my cell phone overseas the per minute rate is going to be very, very high.

Of course there are other options like phone cards. Buy your friends and family some phone cards, setup a contact number overseas, and you’re set.

It’s the last day of the month and I haven’t totaled everything just yet… and I can still make more money today… but thus far I’m up to $131.25 for the month of April.

Again, I started an earnest effort in making money blogging back on April 15th of this month. If I could keep up the pace I have had for this past 1/2 month, then I’m looking at $260 or so per month side income.

I keep emphasizing this, but that isn’t a ton of money. It’s nice pocket change. But it helps me get to the next level. So I’m going to keep pressing on, and we’ll see what happens.

I write about personal finance over at No Debt Plan. One of the topics I’ve covered in this past is insurance. Car, motorcycle, life, disability, and health insurance. All very important. Some, very expensive.

Everyone needs health insurance. If your employer doesn’t offer it, you need to go out and try to find the cheapest (but quality) product available to you. Florida individual health insurance is something that might be important to senior citizens in Florida.

Some states offer coverage, but some people do not qualify.

Seriously, do not go without health insurance. Get it done today. You’re putting yourself, your family, and your assets at risk if you don’t have it. You’re one accident away from some serious trouble.

If some of the tool bars I’ve used and seen out there are to be believed, Google is updating their Page Rank. Darren Rowse has a reminder for us about Page Rank.

Nonetheless, my other blog No Debt Plan seems to have jumped from a PR0 to a PR3! Sweet! Maybe I can start to make some real money over there.

I think fine art is neat. I don’t think we live a fancy enough life style to really have fine art hanging in our home, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it. We’re more of a family photo type couple.

But like I said, if I could find a good deal on fancy fine art, then I might be interested. Not only does it hang on the wall as art, but if you are lucky it can definitely appreciate in value. And I’m all about that.

I learned today that Park West Gallery is an auction house that helps sell art. They do it around the United States and Canada. That’s not the coolest thing — they also do art auctions at sea. I’d imagine that is a pretty fancy cruise, and it makes me wonder how they keep the art safe from the water and water vapors. Pretty interesting though. Let’s go to the Bahamas and pick out a Picasso on the way.

Writing that last post about rims makes me miss my old BMW. I finally sold my 95 with 178,000 miles on it and a ton of problems. A guy paid me cash for it at work. Very odd transaction. I should go into further detail on that in the future…

I’ve now got a 1978 BMW 320i sitting in the garage waiting on a quasi-restoration. Now, if I could only make millions of dollars blogging, then I would have all the time in the world to work on the car. And have a sweet garage to work on it in.

Maybe in the future…
