Good evening everyone, is it snowing? In youtube it is!

I think this is great, I love adding this to jazz or clasical music and just watch the soothing video, listen to the calm melodies and chill. Yes I have been pretty busy lately, with all the forum coming of age to be trained to use it’s first bicycle... But yeah I have a great community wich is growing like a little puppy, small and cute and eventually big and fearless. Great because I want to make a debate forum out of it, so an agressive and smart audience is kinda a must. Also I got my first donations today, they are from friends/family of course, but it’s still my first online profits. I love you guys, the one’s that game will be invited to our TF2 charity livestream match and to the rest, you are AMAZING!
Also I want to give a warm wave and a thank you to a guy by the name MattiasA who is a great artist, he’s so so good at drawing steampunk themed art that I was amazed when I first found him, and yeah as we kinda want our forum and blog to look steampunkish I contacted him if I could use his smilies on the forums, he said yes. You are amazing!
One more thing. The blog was down for quite some time today because I did some DNS changes without really realising that it might take this long, but it’s ok we have a new url to our blog it’s quick and easy TeaAndBiscuits.info , it was super cheap just under 2€, so thank you godaddy.com.
Using the donations I’m getting us a fast europe based hosting, again from godaddy.com it’s super cheap again just under 2€/month so it’s amazing. Also I found a great toolkit for bloggers to increade their revenue and viewers called The Launch Coach, the guy who made it closed the project, but left all the files for grabs on a pay what you want donation deal, wich is great it was priced just under 500$ and I have the option to donate 1$ for it and get all the content. Wich is really great because I don’t have a job, I’m a student, and if we manage to make any real money (we already did stupid!) out of this I promise to do a charity-fund-raisor-livestream and donate not just all the ad revenue to charitywater.org, but add as much as I can from myself. I found about charitywater due to Totalbiscuit, he’s allways raising money for it, so I though yeah, sounds about right, lets make this our goal!
Anyways It was quite an interesting day, I got accepted to amazon associates, so that should generate some revenue, on the subject funny thing is, our forums didn’t pull through Google Adsense because (oh and it’s good)
Issues:
- Difficult site navigation
---------------------
Further detail:
Difficult site navigation: During our review of your website, we found
your site difficult to navigate. Potential navigation issues include:
redirects, pages behind a login or restricted access, broken links,
excessive pop-ups, dialers, and pages under construction or not yet
launched.
It’s a forum, it’s suposed to have pages behind a login or restricted access, pages under construction or not yet launched.
But answer me this google, how is a forum, with Search Engine Optimization and a sitemap difficult to navigate... this baffles me. But I’m not really sad, never really liked adsense, and there are loads of alternatives.
So yeah I think I mentioned everything, one last shoutout to our new forum staff: Cookie , Jack, Karii and one more secret addition that I recruited over facebook.
Good night, enjoy your tea and biscuits, don’t be cold this winter evening, the podcast is coming, we’re getting everything set up, we already have a private room on our bff sao-gaming ventrillo server, just need to round up all the special guests (or add those in post production) and record it.
Love, Cheers, and all that good stuff...
