In the 1970s, when I was still a kid, I used to collect used stamps and silver coin. I have a big collection now and they will make a handsome profit if I were to sell them at eBay or any other online auction sites. I also have the portrait of the late Princess Diana of Wales in one of my silver coins. My dad has also bought me a packet of coins from Europe during one of his trips there. So far, I have about 12 big stamp albums and a few boxes of repeat stamp designs. It will take a lot of effort to take photos of them one by one to sell them on eBay. One of these days, I might just sell at an offer price to a stamp and coin collector in one shot. Now they are taking up much space below my bed which has a storage area. I also have many old vintage Malaya stamps collected during my dad’s time. They are nice to look at once in a while and you tend to reminisce of the old times – times when you don’t have to worry about money and all the other stuffs that adults go through in life. It was a carefree happy-go-lucky life then as a kid.

Are you making enough money from the internet? Do your blogs generate enough income to withdraw from Adsense every month? If not, it is better to cut your loses and close down all your blogs – simply because nobody reads them and you are just wasting your money. It might be better to work for other people instead of sitting at home doing nothing and surfing the web to while away time. Some people try to emulate others thinking that they know better and can make an income from the web. But what they don’t know is that 95% of people fail while only 5% succeed to really earn from the internet.

Just 2 days ago, I upgraded my other blog at DianaTan.net to WordPress 2.8.4. . I am also testing out certain functions for SEO friendly features. However, when I upgraded to WordPress 2.8.4, I also encountered login problems as my old password was not recognised anymore. And uploading the files took so long with hundreds of them or even thousands of them being loaded to the server one at a time. I hope to find a way to make my posts SEO friendly so that people can find me easily. There is also a new look for each WordPress upgrade at the dashboard section. So much for improvement.
