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.</p><p>Some weekends I just vanish from here. Those are weekends when I say, &quot;I can always post later&quot; 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.</p><p>Sometimes writing my project list down here gets things clearer in my mind.</p><p>First I want to send a thanks out to <a
href="http://zeebastars.bookshopblog.com/" target="_blank">ZeebaStars</a> 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.</p><p>I also am going to be spending a little time researching Jamaican news site. Why Jamaica? I got myself involved in an <a
target="_blank" href="http://www.linkbaitme.com/2008/01/15/challenge-get-in-the-top-500-in-alexa/">Alexa challenge</a>. 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.</p><p>Found one</p><blockquote><p><font
class="arttext"><strong><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Bajan songbird Rihanna, will be the headliner for &ldquo;Smile Jamaica-Africa Unite,&rdquo; the concert which takes place at James Bond Beach on Saturday, February 23, in tribute to Bob Marley.</span></strong></font></p><p><font
class="arttext"><strong><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Source: <a
target="_blank" href="http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/lifestyle/html/20080117t160000-0500_131497_obs_rihanna_for_smile_jamaica_africa_unite.asp">Jamaican Observer</a><br
/> </span></strong></font></p></blockquote><p>I also realize that getting a higher Alexa rank involves getting a lot of people who have Alexa installed, because that&#8217;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.</p><p>I guess that&#8217;s all for now.</p><div
