I’m looking to hand it over and give way for guest posting! So, readers and newcomers alike if you feel you have something “Geektalk” related you would like to express on Ja Kel Daily just use our contact form or email me (admin@jakeldaily.com) with your article you would like to be posted and of course put some back links to your site.

Not to worry I will still be posting also, just looking to add some new inspiration!

“Sometimes you don’t have the time or inspiration to maintain a sizable catalogue of draft posts for future use, so what happens if you actually need some? Fortunately it’s not too hard to find people who will write a couple of guest posts for you (taking the strain off yourself). Clearly there are pitfalls with this because people came to your site to read your content but ultimately it’s a great way of keeping blogging enjoyable.” John Chow

Finally, a Mac that has definitely gotten me tempted to make my first purchase! It starts at a mere $1799, more details and to pre-order at apple.com. 

MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It’s incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises.

If you were to ask what was the biggest blogging mistake I’ve made since the start back in February 2006. It would be I wished that I had started out with my own domain instead of using the free hosting and blog software of Blogger.com.

When we first launched Ja Kel Daily on fashionbyjakel.blogspot.com around two years ago I was unaware of the future problems this would cause us. I have considered many times to move the blog to a self-hosted service using the Wordpress blogging platform but the fear of losing search engine traffic, Google PageRank and RSS subscribers has always stopped me in my tracks.

As you know from my prior post on January 1st I’ve recently join the dot mobi domain craze nearly a year and half after the initial release to the public. Since there is an estimated 2.2 billion mobile devices in use as of today I think it would be a good idea to get ahead of the game and get your mobile sites into testing and operation before your competition.

I’ve purchased http://www.jakeldaily.mobi and http://www.celebrity-gossip.mobi along with a few others I intend to squat on until I find some motivated buyers. Even now this late in the game there are still a lot of great dot mobi domains left to grab up for long term squatting and selling off when the rest of the tech world catches on and gets into mobi web surfing.

The ending and the beginning of a new year of blogging! This income will be the starting point for all monthly income reports to come. In the past I have posted a few income reports but I have never been consistent on a monthly basics. Before February, Ja Kel Daily was simply an experimental blog that we intended to use for traffic to our online clothing store.

I finally got some time to set down and make an update. We’ve been really busy spent the weekend in London “wife’s 30th birthday”. Today was our daughter’s evening out for dinner “tgi fridays” and a movie “Bee” at the BlueWater mall (Europes largest mall). The rest of the week in England will consist of spending time with relatives, with the possibility of making a business trip to Cambridge.  

London was great and expensive as usually but I’ve gotten used to the currency robbery, costing 2 (dollars) to 1 (pound) since we visit quite often. If you have kids our daughter loved the Bee movie it was a great evening out.

The dot mobi domain era was initially opened 22 May 2006 by Mobile Top Level domain the company put in charge by the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

Thousands of domain names were registered within the first day. For some including myself were not apart of this buying frenzy due either not being aware of it, or believed that is was not necessary to adopt a new domain for the mobile internet.
