First Pennies

So the other day I wrote about having made some random scratch off of my blog. Today I've made some money off my ehow articles. I had promised to report back, so here's my report: I hadn't been checking regularly, and they were having some kind of problem with their accounting through the month of August, so until lately I hadn't made anything. My most recent check though, puts me just shy of a dollar. I'll wait for it to normalize and then report some averages per article per day. Right now I've three articles up, and earnings are relatively even across the board, though one only made money in August, and the other two only made money in September, so I wonder if there's still some minor error in their accounting.

Anyway, it's exciting progress. That's a couple bucks now from online, passive sources. A little reward is incentive to put in a little more effort and see what happens.

I know regular expressions

Wait, forgot to escape a space. Wheeeeee[taptaptap]eeeeee.

I created my first regular expression today. I still don't 'know' regular expressions, but after working this one out, I don't think I really want to. It's nice to know the basics though, so I can work one out when I need to. First I'll work on just being able to read the one I've written, it takes a little while to break it up into each functional piece in my mind.

Experiment Update

Hahaha! Life is a funny thing. So I tried eHow, like I said in the last post, and it's terrible. I've had two articles up for a month now, and had a lot more page views than I imagined, but not a single cent. I'll leave them up for another few months and see if anything comes of it, and update if necessary.

In other news though, one of my blogs produced some $$ out of the blue. It's a snarky one (whenisthefuture), and I didn't really expect it to make any money, but there it goes!

It's been getting a pretty consistent 10 views/day, and it's generating enough off the adds to renew my interest. I added a few new posts, lets hope the trend continues.
