The home page has been tweaked a bit to suit the blog a bit. I hope you like the new magazine look to the home page.

Earlier in the month, I won a copy of OIOpublisher Direct, and now I’ve won a copy of the Revolution Magazine WordPress Theme worth $79.95. I guess I will have my hands full in the coming days migrating to both of them on this blog.

So watch out for a completely new look to this blog with some awesome new features in the coming weeks.

The biggest pain point was the fact that for a blog, you have to manually replace all images you have in your post with their JavaScript code to “BritePic” the image. This is just too much of an effort due to which I stopped using it completely. The code looked like:

<script>

britepic_id="id";

britepic_src="< == ENTER IMAGE URL == >";

</script>

<script src="http://www.britepic.com/britepic.js"></script>

<noscript></noscript>

So, how can its usage be simplified? What if someone comes up with a plugin that looks for images in posts, and BritePic’s them? Sounds doable doesn’t it?

I have started working on this on my own and the plugin should be launched shortly (as beta!). This will be my first WordPress plugin.

This will be a simple way to start making money from images on your blog posts.

If someone knows of a plugin that already does this, do let me know. I will not waste my time reinventing the wheel.

Online Presence has been nominated to participate at the Feb ‘08 Edition of the International Blog Cup. In the first round, we are up against UsmanMoney.

Voting begins on Feb 1st at the IBC website. I would request you to vote for me at this cup.

I think there is a widget that I can put on the site when voting begins. I’ll keep all of you posted.

DailyClicks

DailyClicks offers payouts that are not as competitive as bux.to. Free members are paid $0.01 for every ad they view. Free members also get $0.0050 for every referral click while upgraded members get $0.01 for every referral click.

PaidBux

PaidBux has payouts similar to bux.to free member accounts.

I’m sure there are tons of other similar sites.

If you can manage to take out about 30 minutes from your daily schedule, sign up for bux.to, DailyClicks, and PaidBux and earn some easy money. Don’t expect miracles please. These are not get-rich-quick-and-easy programs!
