My Humiliating Slap To My Greatest Enemy

By Carl On January 21, 2009 6 Comments

If you're new here, you really should subscribe to my blog's Full RSS feed for FREE! You don't want to miss informative posts! Thanks!

Just after new year, you may have recalled the 4 posts/7 days challenge. Basically, the challenge is for me to post 4 articles in 7 days – with a little twist, you “help” out by encouraging me. The best encouragements win a copy of Ultimate Blogging Theme…

It was hard.

I’ve lost momentum so it was hard to deal with the challenge, to deal with my greatest enemy…

Me.

And I couldn’t have done it without you. So here are the winners of the mini contest we had last last week.

Congratulations And Thanks

AJ Kumar – I got to know AJ because of that wonderful comment he left that day.
John Rodica – Touching.
Simon – This photoshop trigger happy just sticked out like a sore thumb with this.
Melvin – He just said what I was thinking. Really hit me.

I’ve sent an email to you guys with the download link to the theme – enjoy!

I’ll keep the momentum going, here’s to my first post this week ;-)

I’m Sorry

By Carl On January 3, 2009 40 Comments

The last few months, as you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been really busy -busy in such a way that it’s a blessing because I’ve got Ultimate Blogging Theme, Youngest Blogger and tons of other projects to finish.

Those blessings ate almost all of my time online leaving this blog and a couple emails collecting dust.

So i would like to take this moment to say…

I’m sorry.

I know I’ve said several times that I’m gonna get back to blogging but it only lasted weeks so I’m not gonna promise now, instead I’m going to take this as a challenge…

And to make it fun, if in the next week you encourage me enough to make 4 posts I’ll give away 4 copies of the Ultimate Blogging Theme 2.0 which now includes a one click logo management to those who’ve participated.

How do you encourage me?

Be creative, send quotes, guides, leave an encouragement comment or email or whatever that you think will help me + you think that will get you a copy of UBT.

P.S. Happy new year everyone :-)

The Shirt Versus The Suit

By Carl On August 30, 2008 14 Comments

On August 26 my database crashed leaving my blog with a big “Not Found” on the post area. I was with my friend’s house on that same day though having a sleepover so I wasn’t able to fix it till I got home the next day. The problem was solved in just a couple of minutes with the help of my web host, Media Temple.

In other words, this post is 5 days late and I’m 5 days late to start kickin’ off my blog for the…

Basically, me and Alvin Phang will compete for the next 25 days on who can gain more RSS subscribers. Time frame is August 25 – September 25.

Here are our RSS subscribers on the day the contest…

CarlOcab – 2928 Subscribers
GatherSuccess – 812 Subscribers

And at the moment, I’m at 3865 Subscribers and Alvin is on 1062. Looks like I’m leading the competition even if I was idle :-P But there’s a long way to go, we still got 25 days to pump up things.

What will the winner get?

Both of us are doing this just for fun so we decided that the one that gained the less amount of subscribers will make a video admitting his defeat. Ahhhh, that’s priceless ;-)

Anyhow, on a different perspective, both of us will win because we gained more subscribers than we normally do due to this RSS challenge.

My plans…

So what are my plans to leave Alvin and win this contest decisively? It’s drop-dead simple. I won’t say it, you’ll see it – actions speak louder than words. Subscribe now so you won’t miss out.
