Attention all of you out there that are looking to blog, or already do…
I was hunting for a cheap source for people to go to when they want a blog that wouldn’t cost them much. I came across Yovia. With them you can Earn extra money by blogging. If you are trying to earn money, or just blog about something, then this is an opportunity for you.
The Yovia system is still in Beta stage, but only a limited number of people will be accepted.
Blogging isn’t hard if you are setup correct. The system is a WordPress system. WordPress blogs seem to be the easiest to use that I have tried, or reviewed. There is a rather large selection of plug-ins, and themes for WordPress blogs.
My wife recently started blogging, and she has just achieved a PR2, and has been taken on by a few companies already. If you don’t know what blogging is all about, then give it a try, and who knows… Maybe you could earn some money at it, or even get to review products for companies. Blogging is basically articles about something, someone, or anything that you want. It can be opinion, fact, or complaints. Well… Actually It can be on just about whatever you choose. There is no incorrect way to blog.
I have been blogging for @6 months, and it is a mind clearing experience.

This is going out to all that are having issues with the Blog Stats plugin not working on a self hosted blog.
I have finally uncovered the cause behind some sites with custom themes not being tracked with the WordPress.Com Blog Stats plugin. Some themes are designed by people that are so headstrong that they need to embed hidden code in their footer.php.
Resolution #1:
Don’t use any custom theme if it isn’t working correct, or there isn’t enough support for it.
Resolution #2:
Find a person that can look at your code, and possibly decode the problem.
Resolution #3:
Make sure that the beginning of your footer.php has the following in it…
<?php do_action(‘wp_footer’); ?>
<div id=”footer”>
The following lines need to be at the end of footer.php.
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
</html>
After you insert this your blog should start giving information to the WordPress.Com Blog Stats plugin.
I do custom editting of themes. If you have one you want modified, then let me know, and I will see what I can do.

I have numerous sites that are running WordPress. Most of them are working fine, but I have 2 that are having Blog Stats issues. The plugin is installed, and correctly configured, but it is not registering any visits.
I know there are visitors, because I checked Google Analytics. Can anyone give me a clue as to why this plug-in is having a issue? I have tried searching WordPress.Com, but that has not helped me a single bit.
I personally like this plug-in because I can monitor all the sites from one convenient login.
