This site is currently registered in 3 blog exchanges, and honestly I’m fed up with surfing through numerous blogs that I care nothing about. The whole process is tedious and slow, and frustrating at times, and I’m even on a very fast connection. These exchange are overloaded also, they are very very slow.

Why am I bitching, because I don’t have the time to continue to surf 100+ blogs a day just to drive a bunch of traffic to my site, knowing 99% of it doesn’t care about my blog, just as much as I don’t care about their blog. I’ve taken some steps to make my site more searchable, it shows up on Google, its been linked to from some other blogs, I even managed to create a fairly good list a few days ago that attracted a few comments, way more than I imagined.

So my goal is to continue writing content, which is not an easy task as you know, and just hope that my few readers continue to read, and maybe slowly I’ll bring in more readers.

I figure that others have done just fine without blog exchanges, and I reckon I can do ok too, I think I’ve achieved a few important steps, got a small following at least, got some linkage, and got some ok content, now I just need to keep at it and hopefully I will succeed.

I figured I’d give out a little free advertising, but check out the Google Widget I wrote for my current company. Its pretty neat and its really nice to see some of my work actually out there for anyone who pleases to use it. Its the AccuWeather Hurricane Widget, the link to it is here.

I plan on writing some more of these neat little widgets for other uses, I’m a big electronics fan and figured that maybe someone will find some Electronic type widgets useful, I’ve not written them yet, but I have some ideas about what I plan on doing, if I do publish them, I’ll post them here.
