A New Site

I decided to start a new blog to promote Girl Gets Ring on clickbank. It's:

http://www.findlovegetmarried.com

I have a site that I'm working on to help men get dates on online dating sites, so I figured why not start a site that will help women get men to commit to them. We'll see how it goes.

In the past I haven't really been to open about my sites. It took me forever, just to list a few of the sites I have in my profile. To be honest most of my sites I haven't worked on. Kind of lost interest in the subject. Dating is one subject that always keeps me interested.

I decided to be very open about this new blog and the progress I'm making building it and marketing it. Hopefully, this will help keep me motivated to continue working on it.

Game plan

As mentioned I think I will post the progress I'm making on the site daily. Basic things like what I did and what I'm going to do the next day. I'll probably loosely follow the "Getting Started" tutorial.

New Routine

Recently I broke the 200 pound mark for the first time in my life. I still look like I have an athletic build with my shirt on, but I'm starting to get a little bit of a gut.

As a result, I decided to start running when I get home from my work. So far I've been doing it the past three days and I plan on doing it until an undetermined point in the future. This has definitely been helping me get over the afternoon slump.

Usually, when I get home in the afternoon I'm kind of tired and I feel like taking a nap. I'm not sure if it's the drive home from work that does it to me or what. If I do give in and take a nap I lose the valuable time that I could be working on my business.

So far when I go running after work it has been having the effect of waking me up and making me more alert. I'll keep doing it.

Progress Today

1. Registered the domain findlovegetmarried.com
2. changed the name servers to the name servers of the hosting company I use
3. added domain to an excel file that I maintain which keeps track of what domains i have, who I registered them through, where it's hosted at, etc.
4. Setup domain as an add on domain for my hosting account
5. Installed wordpress, downloaded latest version of Thesis theme, uploaded thesis theme to my wordpress install
6. activate askimet plug in, input my akismet key, installed google xml sitemaps plugin
7. installed google analytics, link to google webmaster tools
8. Created a privacy policy page, compensation disclosure page, Home page, blog page, and an about page.
9. Changed thesis settings to two columns, full width framework, turned off the media box, turned off the interior layout borders.
10. changed permalinks to "post name"
11. Made this blog post.

Total Time to do this: about 2.5 hours.

Plan For Tomorrow

1. Begin creating core content for the site
2. Decide how wide I want the site to be, so I can have a header created for it.
3. Take privacy policy and compensation disclosure out of the menu and move them to the footer
4. Browse through some thesis "skins" and see if there are any that I like.
5. Probably add some content to the home page for now, but it will probably end up being replaced.

That's it for tonight. See you guys and gals tomorrow! :)

P.S. - Day 1 was yesterday. The articles I outsourced are for this site.
