Last week, during my scarce free time i decided to search for a wordpress plugin that could manage my ad sales on this blog in an almost automated way. I found a couple of them but none gave me exactly what i wanted.

So, i decided to invest some money to buy a tool for the first time to use on this blog. I decided to buy OIOpublisher. I knew this wordpress plugin for some time now and read good reviews about it. So it seemed the right choice for me.

Today’s post is a double post. First of all, i would like to say that my life is chaotic right now.

I have already told you that im on the final year of college. Recently, my college entered the Bologna Process. For those who don’t know what it is you can read about it on wikipedia.

This semester, i have a tight schedule. 8 weeks of intensive classes, mostly from 8am to 8pm. And off course, since it’s the bologna era, my teachers give us essays to elaborate. Right now, im with 7 works to complete, one being a seminar organized by us, and the other a presentation to a congress. And i can’t forget the final graduation essay, it is an investigation work and it will take almost a year to complete.

Lately i have seen lots of new social bookmarking sites. The reason is that there are several free scripts that allow us, fast, free and easily to create a social bookmarking driven site.

One of those scripts, is Pligg. It is a free CMS (content management system), it is open source and powered by a php/mysql.

This script, besides allowing the webmaster to manage a digg like site, joins the power of CMS.

The script is at version 9.9 beta, meaning that the community is active and constantly releasing new features, mods, templates.

In the end of the last week i decided to drop adtoll. I was not happy with the results and performance of the adtoll code. First, i had no revenue at all these past weeks, and secondly, and a important aspect of my decision was that the adtoll script often “lagged” the page loading. Sometimes more than 3 seconds. Very annoying.

Adtoll as recently upgraded their servers but they are to late for me :p

With my demise from adtoll, there was an opportunity for project wonderful to perform on my blog.

What is ProjectWonderfull?

Hello! As mentioned yesterday, im going to start a series of “how to create a mini site”. I have covered this subject a few times, and showed you how to create them using some scripts or software like Commonsense CMS, Rssmini 1.3, HyperVRE (which promised to be a great tool but in fact sucked).

I have 2 new tools to try out. But for now let’s stick with one. I really hope this new tool is way better than the previous ones. This tool takes in consideration that it helps you creating a mini site easy and fast, but it does not help you create the content. It’s up to you to create the content. Don’t fall in temptation to copy other site content and don’t use rss feed to fill you pages. Use your own created content, your own words.
