Good morning everyone. The Pack ended up with barely a win (yeah) and my disk clean has definitely helped the speed of my computer. We’ll see what happens when I get going for the day though.
- Checked my Big Crumbs earnings; I was pleased to find out I had earned some “crumbboosters” which is cashback from a purchase someone made when clicking through an offer through my link without signing up or signing in to their member account.
- I think I’m going to go through Down On Our Luck and find all of the old links for a domain that I no longer own.
- Finally finished going through Down On Our Luck for old mybigcrumbs links. Visit my site on Tuesday to learn more about why I had to do this.
- Wrote a new post at DOOL about updating my favorites page. I need to think of something fun to write about on Saturdays so I can stay a little on track.
- Updated my Nintendo WII skins lens. It has been some time since I’ve shown this poor lens some love and it should have a lot of potential with a little love. I’m thinking of splitting this one up like I did the Nintendo DS Skins lens. My traffic on that lens jumped after I split it. I’ll save more about that for All Squidoo All the Time.

Nothing special going on today. I fell asleep real early last night; maybe I was trying to avoid calling the bee guy back. I actually got some housework done and did the dishes; real strange for me to do during the week.
- I bought a new forwarding domain for Big Crumbs. It turns out the one I was using caused a lot of problems that I was not aware of. I’ll be giving the problem causing domains to the owners of BC once they get back to me. Over the next couple of days, I’ll have to find all of the hidden places that I’ve left the old domain. Even though they are scattered, I think they are all confined to a few domains.
- Found the first place using my old domain; my Make Money Shopping lens had quite a few of them. Now I can scratch that off my list.
- I found some BC links on Brenda K Carter as well. Got those all fixed up.
- Sticking to my rule of blogging everyday, I posted Tuesday’s update of my Big Crumbs Earnings from July 2008.
- Boo, I failed with updating my blog everyday already yesterday. Wednesdays are supposed to be my Q&A day, but I didn’t have any questions anyways. I did write an update today at Down On Our Luck.
- I managed to get the Entrecard toolbar working as well, now that they worked many of the bugs out. Thanks guys.

I woke up a little later than usual this morning due to a retirement party that I was at last night. I’m thinking I’ll have a chance to be pretty busy tonight though.
- Of course, I checked my Big Crumbs account.
- I decided to combine the 15th and 16th because yesterday didn’t bring much.
- I found an extremely touching story this morning and had to build a new lens about it. You can check it out at 2 Dogs 2000 Miles. All money from this lens is donated and I posted a comment on their blog seeing if they would like to have the lens transferred to them. It’s just a little way for myself to give back which is part of what Squidoo is all about.

Well, the Packers didn’t win last night and I fell asleep before kickoff; so much for working during the game. I think my body is trying to tell me something because I slept late this morning again 
- Checked my Big Crumbs earnings. I had two new members sign up between yesterday and today. Welcome, I hope you enjoy the website.
- I think I’m going to take some time and alphabetize the football products lenses that I have so people can find their favorite team when shopping on one of these lenses. I love the table of contents module.

I have a family reunion to go to later, but I am most productive in the AM anyways so it won’t hurt anything.
- Of course, I checked my Big Crumbs earnings.
- Did a little research on a tool I’ve been contemplating a purchase of.
- Looked into a Captcha problem I’ve been seeing all over the web, including my feature my pet page at One Million Pet Pics. I took the captcha off my site for a while until they fix the problem. If you use reCaptcha you may want to check your site, I still haven’t found the answer to this problem yet.
- Â I went and dropped way to many Entrecards for an experiment I’m running.
Had to leave for the family reunion. It’s back to work tomorrow

One more day until the weekend because I took Friday off to get started on some stuff here at home. I ended up doing a lot of research yesterday and not much else. Oh well, on to today.
- Continued my research, but I’m getting close now.
- Signed up at the Warrior Forum; looking for more info.
I found the info that I needed and finally made a purchase after way too much dinking around. So much for getting anything done today.

I stayed up pretty late last night talking to my mother about the whole Brett Favre drama and other things. I actually woke up at 2:30AM, but I was able to back to sleep shortly after. I’ll need to make up for the time this evening now that I’m back to a semi-normal sleeping schedule.
- Started my Big Crumbs update for the month at Down On Our Luck.
- That’s about it for this morning. I didn’t get real far into anything. I woke up too late for that.
- I spent some time researching some tools for myself and then the DH and I went for a much needed bike ride.

I had a difficult time getting back to Squidtop today to publish my post from yesterday so today’s listing might not be that accurate.
- Changed the link to my Pokemon Nintendo DS Skins lens from my Nintendo DS Skins lens to look like it is meant to be part of the table of contents. Had to update the DS Skins again because my original link was wrong. The DS Skins lens hit a milestone for myself yesterday; at some point yesterday I had over 200 visitors within the last 7 days, I have never had that many visitors on any of my lenses.
- Downloaded the new Entrebar from Entrecard. I’m excited to try it out, but I can’t login.
- Spent a little time pricing fiberglass extension ladders. DH bent the one his boss lent him after using it for only a half an hour. I am so upset about this. From what I can find, they cost between $200-$300. I wish he would think sometimes.
- Set up Thunderbird as my new email client; I finally figured out what the heck was wrong with my Yahoo account as well. So far I don’t think Thunderbird drags on my system as much.
- Updated my Antique Singer Sewing Machine lens. Just a little tweaking and tag adding, nothing major.
- Started playing around with new SEO Software: Traffic Travis. Started a lens with a personal review. Checked Squidoo for anything close and things look promising.
We ended up with company after this, so I was pretty much done for the day.

Like I said yesterday, I just couldn’t keep my eyes open long enough to finish eating last night. I was out like a light by 7:45. Anyways, happy August 1st to everyone.
- Of course, I checked my Big Crumbs earings.
- Posted a new blog post about helping a fellow lensmaster at All Squidoo All the Time.
- Logged into Twitter to see if I’ve missed anything the last couple of days. I was using Tweetdeck, but for some reason it seems to slow down my computer. It’s probably time to upgrade my RAM or at least do some hard drive cleaning.
- Made a trip to the Giant Squid Journal from the RSS feed I’m subscribed to. GypsyOwl has a great blog with great tips.
- I also made a point to stop over at Unconventional Marketing and thank Josh for the kind words about Down On Our Luck. I will definitely take his advice, it’s good and would give me a rest on thinking of new content for a day.
I needed a little time to have fun last night, so we went to the husband’s grandmother’s house for a big ‘ole bonfire. Sitting back and having a drink really hit the spot for an extremely productive weekend.

I woke up a little later this morning because I stayed up last night instead of falling asleep on the couch. I have a little time to get some stuff done, but first I must go and refill the coffee.
- Read a great post by Captain Squid about building a Pepperjam lens. If you use Squidoo to make money, I would definitely recommended signing up for his RSS feed.
- I finally logged into the Pepperjam Ad Network for the first time this morning. I really like the layout and everything is so fast. I’ll be back when I’m ready to build some more lenses.
- Finally purchased the 10 minutes trainer like I said I was going to do in Happy Birthday to Me. It took me forever to get to the bank and deposit my Birthday money. Why, don’t ask me.
- Posted Foofur’s story at One Million Pet Pics.
That’s it for the morning, we’ll see if I can be more productive this afternoon.
So much for productivity in the evening, I couldn’t keep my eyes open long enough to finish my blizzard. Oh well, that’s the end of the July. On to August.
