It’s time to do a bit of checking in on my 2008 resolutions, and frankly, I’m not quite sure that I’m happy with two of my picks at this point.
Healthy Living - Other than the pizza I had yesterday, I’m doing a lot better in this regard. I still have to figure out how to trick myself into eating more veggies though. And does helping my girlfriend move some of her furniture around count as exercise for yesterday?
Investing Money - Okay, I like this goal, I just don’t know if it’s achievable this year because of various planned expenses for 2008. For now, it’s on hold. This is really a second half of the year goal.
ScalpEm.com - I’ve realized that the Top 100,000 sites is going to be a cyclical thing for an FSU sports website. So the better goal is to focus on better writing for the site and more interesting posts. Consistency is key.
1. Healthier Living - Feeling a bit better, still #1 for 2008.
2. Cleanup - Just getting a couple of final things done for the year. All in all it’s mission accomplished, although there will likely be some better “organization” next year, instead of pure cleanup.
3. Website Growth - The December slowdown begins. 
Happy Holidays!
1. Healthier Living - Like I said last week, welcome to #1 on my 2008 New Year’s Resolutions. 
2. Cleanup - Not much to report, I’m hoping to get a few things done before the end of the year.
3. Website Growth - The December slowdown begins. Happy Holidays!
1. Healthier Living - Welcome to #1 on my 2008 New Year’s Resolutions.
2. Cleanup - Not much to report, I’m hoping to get a few things done before the end of the year.
3. Website Growth - November was the best month on record for ScalpEm.com. Thanks readers!
1. Healthier Living - Two words, Thanksgiving Leftovers.
2. Cleanup - Not much to report, I’m hoping to get a few things done before the end of the year.
3. Website Growth - The Florida game always upticks ScalpEm.com… so I’m preparing for a bit of a slow down until bowl week.
1. Healthier Living - Um, it’s the holidays. It’s going to be tough I’m sure, but I’ll keep portions under control.
2. Cleanup - I’ve reorganized the pantry and a big cabinet in the kitchen. It freed up a bunch of space, and it’ll make getting Thanksgiving dinner items easier to put away.
3. Website Growth - EmptyNotebook is a superstar this week thanks to the post about NBC Life. It’s nice to get some comments over here.
1. Healthier Living - I’m feeling better finally, had some weird stuff going on which was like stress related. Or maybe it was a virus. Good news is that the doctor wasn’t concerned.
2. Cleanup - Bam! My girlfriend and I got a spiffy new calendar for the fridge to keep track of important dates, and I got rid of all of the crap on my dresser. It’s all nicely filed in the To Pay, Paid, and To Save letter organizer on the dresser. That should keep things a lot cleaner. I’ve got a couple of filing cases to file away the paperwork that I need to keep around too.
3. Website Growth - ScalpEm.com and EmptyNotebook are continuing to risk up the Alexa ranks, although it’s slowly starting to level off. I’m very, very pleased with 2007’s performance was it comes to a close over the next month and a half though. I also launched a redesign of ScalpEm.com, which everyone seems to be very, very happy with. Not only did it make the site look more professional, and easier to read, but it opened up more space for advertising, that isn’t overly intrusive.
