The Successful Landlord Blog

The common wisdom is, as a blogger,

you’re not supposed to make posts like this but here goes anyway. Sorry for not posting lately but… I’ve just got a few unrelated things to relate today and they’re all so small that I thought one post should do it:

First, I recently moved Landlord-Success.com to a new web host due to the S-C-A-R-Y weather we’ve been having here (read more in the next item.) I had been hosting it out of my own little data center here in the house but no more. So, if anyone sees anything that doesn’t work or looks weird, please feel free to let me know. Much thanks.

Well folks, it`s the beginning of a new year and I, for one, am glad for it. I have to say that last year started out OK but ended not so well and I think that the economy/housing market had a lot to do with that. From what I understand, this year is supposed to get worse economically but I feel hopeful that things will improve by the end of the year.

So, in the spirit of the new year, I have changed the “skin” of LANDLORD-SUCCESS.COM for a couple of main reasons.

First, I was getting completely sick of looking at the design of the last skin. It was designed for computer screens running at 800×600 resolution and really, does anyone even still run at that resolution? A quick check of my site stats says that out of the last year, only about 7% of the users had a screen resolution of 800×600. The new blog skin will work well with any screen resolution you choose.

Second, the new skin gives me more screen “real estate” to work with (excuse the pun.) This extra space will allow me more flexibility to do some things that I’ve been wanting to do for a while with the site like improve usability and some other neat features. Stay tuned.

As always, your comments and suggestions much are appreciated. If there is anything that is super annoying to you on the site, please don’t hesitate to let me know. This does not include the obnoxious little “landlord” character at the top of the screen.

He’s only there temporarily until I can find some nicer artwork that matches the general look of the blog.

Enjoy!

Hola readers. Just a quick note to let you know that I have not fallen off the face of the earth or anything.

I’ve just been kind of busy with the other part of my life. It seems that one of my larger clients has seen it fit to behave like a complete ass, so much so that I’ve made up my mind to set a timeline and dump them from my client list. They run a lot of code that I wrote so I can’t just walk lest I get sued on top of having to endure their idiocy. Read the rest of this entry »

So, this post is entirely unrelated to being a landlord but interesting (I think) nonetheless.

Today, I ran upon a silly time-waster of a story on Digg.com entitled “The Top Ten Things I’ve Learned From My Patients.” Obviously written by a medical doctor. In the comments section below the post, some malcontent posted a comment about “top 10/5/25″ type-articles making it to the front page of Digg.com yada, yada, yada. Read the rest of this entry »
