Cas Thompson

After a month of serious thinking,  I have decided to retire casthompson.com/blog

Twitter has become an easier tool for me to interact with an audience, network with new associates, vent, share pics-music-ideas and keep up with people that interest me.

Casthompson.com was never intended to make money, and it truthfully hasn’t (directly).   I am currently working on [...]

I never thought that I would say this, but I’m feeling Twitter.  In the past two years I’ve signed up for at least a dozen social networking sites.  I test them out, I study, I network and then I leave them alone.  The truth of the matter is, if it doesn’t make me any money [...]

Even though I really try to save this blog from falling in the category of a “make money online” site, making money online topics are what I get emailed about the most.

I’m not an expert and mostly everything I know about earning online income came from trial and error.

I recently got an email asking for [...]

1. Download the newest version

2. Extract it

3. Back up your wp-config.php to a safe location (it’s the most important file)

4. Upload your newly extracted files to your current Wordpress location

*Note – I personally only overwrite the root folder, the wp-admin folder and the wp-includes folder. I don’t upload anything to [...]

After breakfast, I took a little time to trim the fat and do a little spring cleaning on the ole site.

The new theme is cleaner and I readjusted some codes to improve loading speeds.

MySpacers are going to be a little upset since I also disabled image linking. Sorry guys, but you were chewing [...]

Since moving the casthompson.com blog over from greymatter around three years ago, I’ve never upgraded Wordpress.

Honestly, other than security holes, I never really saw a need.  I don’t consider myself a top tier blogger and I don’t blog for money so it really didn’t phase me.

For my readers…   you will not even notice a [...]

I’ve taken a super long hiatus this time out.

I took a break from blogging to focus on a few offline projects and other online projects as well.

It will be an interesting year for me and unlike last years resolution post, I won’t put out too many hints.

You can count on more trips, new domain developments [...]

I haven’t dropped a post since Mexico but I’m still kicking.

I’ve been working on a few side projects that have required a lot of energy and I will tell you about them shortly but for now, check out this post on Leo’s blog about maximizing your concentration.

Keep your head in the game.

It just ain’t right. Jon Waraas has gotten a lot of heat today with his site, www.buyblogcomments.com. For only $19, you too can be a blog spammer. Although, I’m all about the hustle, I have to agree with Liz and Darren on this one.

I personally think that comment linkage should be earned [...]

Celebrity blogs are big business. Male or female, young or old, we are all intrigued with entertainment gossip. One of my favorite celebrity blogs is YBF. Natasha Eubanks has done a great job of getting her site to an Alexa rank of 41,000 but is YBF at full potential?

As of yesterday, Natasha [...]

After not posting for a fews days because of other things on my palette, I figured that a fitting comeback post would relate to online time management. Between the nine to five, online businesses, family life and finding time for entertainment sometimes there is little time for personal development. Here is a [...]

Dillsmack has given us an opportunity to win a PS3 for only $1.  This is an extra one that he had left over from all the crazy madness.  I figure the most I’ll lose is $1 if I don’t win.  You can enter the sweepstakes yourself here.  Hopefully you will make it in time.

I just got word that my comments link was broken on my blog.  Everything is up and running again.  Thanks for the heads up!
