I have good intentions to post every day. The problem with that is human nature. The days that I actually go to my day job, I wake up at 4:45 am, grab everything I need for work and get to the office by 5:30. That gives me an hour and a half to do what I have to do before I punch the time clock. After about four months of this schedule, I know what needs to done and I do it. Sometimes issues get in the way, like random hackers out graffiting the net. By the time my three day weekend comes, I am ready for a project and sometimes I have more than one.

Some weekends I just vanish from here. Those are weekends when I say, "I can always post later" and then I proceed to tackle a project. Instead I think I will start writing my last post for the week on Friday and then timestamp a couple of short posts for the weekend. But even that got pushed off. I was going to write this yesterday.

Sometimes writing my project list down here gets things clearer in my mind.

First I want to send a thanks out to ZeebaStars for such a great review of my site. And I have been meaning to get to my About Me page for a while. It does need some serious updating. A lot of my priorities have changed.

I also am going to be spending a little time researching Jamaican news site. Why Jamaica? I got myself involved in an Alexa challenge. I have to increase my Alexa ranking in Jamaica. It got me thinking and just that is worth taking the challenge. How do I get more traffic from a country? Write about what they are interested in. So off to the news sites to see if I can pick a good story.

Found one

Bajan songbird Rihanna, will be the headliner for “Smile Jamaica-Africa Unite,” the concert which takes place at James Bond Beach on Saturday, February 23, in tribute to Bob Marley.

I also realize that getting a higher Alexa rank involves getting a lot of people who have Alexa installed, because that’s all that really matters. A that tends to be a lot of internet marketers. So I am looking for the #1 make money or marketing blog from Jamaica. I you have a blog from Jamaica, be sure to comment. I give you two links back to your blog with each comment. Not sure how to go about this other than that. I might try a few searches and hunt one down. And I guess I will just use Alexa rank as the deciding factor.

I guess that’s all for now.

I need to get out of this icy Midwestern weather. Perfect time to go to Jamaica, except for the whole money situation. And that is changing. Maybe next year. So far, only place out of the U.S. I’ve been is Nogales, Mexico. Don’t ask.

News from Jamaica:

International Barbadian-born superstar, Rihanna, will be the headliner for Smile Jamaica-Africa Unite, the concert which takes place at James Bond Beach on Saturday, February 23, in tribute to Bob Marley.

The event is an effort of the Marley family to unite Africa with members of the African Diaspora through music so that Bob’s message of love, confidence in self and hope, will be perpetuated. It’s a combination of two ventures, the Smile Jamaica concert which was held in 1976, and the Rita Marley Africa Unite initiative which will be held in Jamaica for the first time.
