StumbleCult the upcoming stumble helper for webmasters is now going strong and registrations are coming by the day. To celebrate the popularity, we are now giving away free credits to everyone, this excludes the free 10 credits you already get when you signup! The only requirement in order to win the credits is to blog about the cult and send in a email to them. This as they say in the blog is a win-win situation for both the cult and its members since more active the cult becomes, more traffic we get to your sites.

This post is kind of late. If you have been to the new StumbleCult recently, you might have noticed a lot of new stuff like the new design is up now and the registration is now open to everyone. StumbleCult is now officially open to the public The platform is now stable and running smooth.

On 29th March, the refund of my Rediff Scam money was completed. A 30+ Days refund period??

Last week, I got a call from Ms. Minal Joshi who was talking about me enrolling as a Business associate with Rediff and selling their products. I think I did enroll for their program without my knowledge, thanks to the very user friendly interface. Yea, I am still sore about loosing my domain. A mistake I will regret all my life.

StumbleUpon, every blogger loves this one! Its a great source of traffic for every blogger, big and small. The best part of StumbleUpon is that it gives you free traffic and is not really into the crowd mentality like Digg or the other media sites. Though hard to monetize, it builds a brand by putting it in front of a million people. Thats very important if you are looking forward to become a problogger or a popular one. Here is a screenshot of my traffic:

I can complete the above title in a lot of ways:

• They…..suck
• …are unprofessional
• …are useless
• …are a waste of time
• …are a big bunch of scammers! Really.

I usually use rediff to check the availability of domains since I found that they are pretty much professional in the fact that they do not keep logs of searches and then register all the good ones we search for. But my recent experience with them totally proved me wrong and proved them to be that biggest bunch of unprofessional dumb asses in the domain business that I ever came across.

I always wanted to move out of WordPress content related sites to something more fun and interesting to work on. RADIOez is the site that started off as a personal venture on my localhost containing all the stations I listen to on the internet. Then the idea bulb struck and I finally got the site completely up and running in the past week. RADIOez is my latest adventure into the world of online music stations. Its a aggregations of the various music stations on the Internet with stations arranged according to genres.

Yesterday was a gross day. Yea, watched the bloody movie, first day of release As you regulars might already know, I am no movie buff but watch a few ones by chance or by fate. I went to meet up with a design client of mine and ended up watching a movie with him.

Not a scene stay in my mind, except for those really gross ones like a head on a stick, rotting bodes. the movie has no class whatsoever, no typicall Rambo style except for the one where he turns from a boatman to combat soldier.

Update WordPress leaving your hair intact. Seriously!

I have WordPress on majority of my sites and I have a bad headache each time I do a upgrade. I find it tiresome hair-pulling to have all the file backups and database backups and deactivate the plugins, upload new files and all that. Takes me about 30 minutes for each site. Imagine the headache for 15 sites! Then on, I started out sourcing my headaches upgrades on Digitalpoint. Worth the money spent for sure!

Last week I came across a plugin I always wished for; one which upgrades the wordpress site sans all trouble!

King Nomar, my good Internet friend and my first Internet money making friend went low profile after he sold his blog. I am sure he must have got some nice change since it was bought by iEntry. The very same iEntry who bought CashQuests for $15,000 (I think) recently and are in the perfect process of killing it. They have not even approved my comments on that blog yet. I sometimes feel sorry for these blogs which are rarely updated by the new owners and end up in a slow death.

I wanted to do this for a long time now, but had decided to do it only after my blog has some decent statistics worth bragging talking about. I always think linking out to others is a great way to grab their attention.Vandelay Website Design blog is one such blog who has used post level link exchanges to get some great linkbacks from the blogosphere.

Here is what I propose to do:

• Write a small paragraph about my site in your blog and include one of my posts in your entry.
