TravelingWebGuy

So I’ve had my blog up for almost two years, though I haven’t advertised it much, scratch that, never told anyone about it. But since I have started all my preparations for my travel plans I’ve been positing like a crack fiend lately. And in doing all this planing, posting, purchasing stuff, I’ve been creating social media sites, adding plugins to my blog to help with SEO purposes and I have seen the positive effect it’s had.

So, now, when you do a Google search for “travelingwebguy” I practically own the entire first page of results! How about dem apples and SEO optimization! And in doing these searches and getting the results I wanted, I decided to make it 100% proof by ordering the domain to go along with the alias. So now that I own the domain, and it already points to my blog, it just reinforces and adds extra quality and relevancy to my search results.

TravelingWebGuy – www.travelingwebguy.com – That’s me!

P.S.
Yes, I’m a computer nerd… but god damnit I’m a cool computer nerd!

So I’ve decided to create a new website. Something simple and easy using the WordPress blog system as the CMS for posting, commenting, updating and maintaining. Also I’ll be using WP because I’m leaving in 5 weeks and I want to have this done before I’m gone.

I’m basically going to be make a simple website that allows users to post their stories of the craigslist flakes they’ve encountered. I’m looking into the legal aspect of posting users email addresses to see what, if any, laws it may break. I may need to write a PHP function which will make the email un-clickable and not able to be grabbed by SPAM bots picking up email addresses. Something along the lines of:Â tim[at]r3xxstudios.[xxx] This way, the posters aren’t held liable and readers can still get an idea of who and where the Flake is. (continue reading…)

ewites Forum Listing

A few months ago I got a some energy to work on a new theme for the web forum I frequent. I’ve been a member here for about 7 years now and have met a lot of really cool people, and a few assholes as well. There’s always a bad apple, and at times, I’m that bad apple as well! muahahaa Regardless, ewites is an open registration web forum where multiple topics are discussed throughout the site. Some can get real heated with really good information, and others are just plain silly and we purposefully turn it that way. For instance, any topic related to December 21, 2012, the coming of the “Niburians”. kekeke. If you’re in for a funny read, Google that. Some people post some really weird, crazy, or just straight up off the wall shit. Makes for good laughs at times.

About six months ago the place went under new adminship, for the better, even though things haven’t changed all that much, but with the new owner, I think a lot of the users felt more secure… If you register, you’ll understand what I mean by “more secure”. And since that change, I’ve been able to do a lot of work helping with the sites design, logos, style sheets for certain areas, wiki, web development information, and anything else that was needed, or I just decided to up and work on something and showed the “duder” later. I could have been a moderator there (in a community of 4,000+) if I would of kept a handle on my hot head, but at times, I let things get the best of me and I say it how I see it. (continue reading…)
