JoeHx Blog

I recently signed up for (three-time) daily emails from HARO, trying to score some backlinks.

It’s been a few weeks since I changed the name of the blog and updated the domain name. As part of updating the domain, I added the new domain as a new site in my Google AdSense.

My previous post on the rebrand involved merely changing the name of my blog. You’ll notice that I’ve now changed the domain of the site.

If you’ve been to this blog before, you’ll notice that I changed the name from Joe’s GitHub Blog to JoeHx Blog. I also changed the tagline from Personal Finance, Programming, Politics, and Other Ponderings to Writing What I Want.

Almost two years ago, I implemented a new commenting system called Staticman.

Google AdSense. It seems like Google's AdSense advertising platform is the default mechanism that bloggers use to make money from their sites. It's an easy system to get into, but that is also a considerable part of the problem. It's too easy. Today, we're going to talk about some AdSense alternatives.

After making a few changes to this blog in an attempt to appease Amazon and failing, I wanted to undo those changes. Thankfully, since this blog is hosted on GitHub pages, it’s versioned controlled via Git. Meaning I should easily be able to find the changes and undo them fairly easily.

Wednesday when I posted my monthly blog stat report I said that “February has been a frustrating month for me in the blogosphere, for reasons I cannot disclose” but that “I probably will be able to Friday.” Well, it’s Friday, and while things haven’t gone the way I hoped, they have gone the way I expected.
