When I first started my online venture, I did get a lot of flak offline and online. Many people I met were actually skeptical that I would get involved into something which is not really recognised as a (traditional) “job”. Several moronic bloggers (whom I shall not name here) even blatantly chastised me publicly by saying that this is an euphemism for being “jobless”. Of course, what they do not know is that I was not “forced” into starting up my ventures online due to unemployment or anything of the sort. I chose to do what I did because I really wanted to do it. I certainly cannot imagine myself sitting at a desk from 9 AM to 4 PM like an office drone (think Hiro Nakamura of Heroes fame) or take orders from someone who looks down on you just because she thinks you build websites as a “hobby”.
Well, I have proved all the skeptics wrong and I am still doing my online business today, since having started it in mid-2006. I even bought Project Petaling Street in early 2009 with the money I earned from my internet ventures and am currently consolidating it with other services such as my free URL shortener. Here is the latest screenshot of my earnings from PayPal for February 2010, thanks to my online ventures (its not limited to blogging only).

Last year I spoke about a new theme for Blogging For Money. Well, the theme did went live a few days later but as I was busy with other projects, I could not properly test it. Heck, I didn’t have the time to even announce the emergence of this new theme (as I am doing right now)!
So far, everything seems to run smoothly and I am very happy with this new custom theme for one of my oldest blogs focusing on the making money niche. Yes, I have certainly neglected to update this blog for some time and I certainly cannot fault no one else for this apart from myself. I certainly have to shoulder the blame for not maintaining the blog as I should, since I am focusing more on my other niche blogs rather than this one.
Since I am in the process of reviving Blogging For Money, I thought that it would certainly be most appropriate if I were to have a custom theme made for it. Here is the sneak preview of the theme for this blog. Originally I bought this theme thinking that I would release it as a free WordPress theme for users who are interested to use it. After thinking it over, however, I decided to use it here. I have already sent the PSD to the coder and it should be ready in two week’s time.
I have seen many webmaster blogs and they are usually not very different from each other (in fact one would say borders on ultra geek-speak), but this design blog which calls itself Stylish Blog truly comes with style as the name says and is easily understandable. On visiting this blog, I had a really positive impression of it and I immediately bookmarked it for future reference. I really like the layout and the colour scheme which was chosen for this blog as the light tones certainly fits with the contents of the blog.
