Something that’s been brewing in the back of mind for while. Videoing the Stuff I Do as I’m doing it.
An old motor bike helmet with the head of a tripod bolted on and hey presto, my DIY Headcam. And it works, here’s the first test –

And the first How To video
I’ll need [...]
Well to start with I need to pull my finger out. So far I’ve only place 1 advert – NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
I’ve been accepted for others but not done anything about it yet. It’s time I had a serious think about the best way to proceed. There are a few options.
1. Place the adverts carefully and [...]
To help me keep focused, I’ve set a target. To get £10 a week in Adwords revenue.
This doesn’t seem like much but if I achieve this it’ll add up to £520 in a year. It’s also an incremental target, an additional £10 per month. Adding up to £3376 per year. Subequent years this effort will add up to – £6240 for very little additional input.

Giving the pages individual titles.
I’ve still got to add tags [...]
Well I don’t think it will be turning many heads yet but it’s a start. I’ve got some adwords on and after many hours, got them on in the right place.
Oh Yes! Of course I want my Wordpress theme to be AdWords and Widget ready. But hang-on what does it actually mean.
My advise on this would be – “Find a well coded theme to start learning on”
What’s a Theme? The theme defines how the blog looks, its the page design that then calls up the content from the entries made in the database.
