Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is

Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is — Sort Of

I published a sponsored post nearly three weeks ago about a free year of hosting on a Windows 2003 server. Since I have a few video-type posts on this blog, and I don't plan to do any more here, I thought it might be a good idea to start another blog just for videos — slideshows, movies, television, etc. What better way to do it than to do it with a minimal investment (i.e. domain name only)?

There are some SEO-related tools I plan to use, starting with a theme that's supposed to be really good: The ProSense Theme. I haven't downloaded or dug into it very deep yet, but I plan to do so before using it.

One of the .htaccess tricks I use for this host, which runs on an Apache webserver, won't work on a Windows server. At least, I don't think so. I'm talking about redirecting the "www" subdomain to the main domain or vice-versa. Well, as I found while looking at an article on OneMansGoal.com, I plan to use the WordPress no www plugin at Photo Matt.

What about the videos and stuff on this blog? Well, I plan to redirect those to the new blog using the Redirection plugin at Urban Giraffe.

The only dilemma I face right now is the domain name.

(Update: Dilemma solved, domain name registered. I should have the new site online by the end of the week, or even as early as tomorrow.)

Well I could tell you…..

Untwisted TV is quite good, I might have to go buy that, and then sell it to RT

You're evil.

Very cool, RT. I'm looking forward to seeing what you put out there.

Hey, UntwistedTV does sound good — untwistedvortex.tv even better By the way, thanks for the link to WordPress No http://www. After my .htaccess scare, I'm hesitant to change it for setting my permanent redirect — you posted this just in time!

I cheat. I'll write about something if I want to remember it because then I can go back and search for it and find it instead of looking through a kabillion notes.

Umm… I didn't want Untwisted anything for the new domain name. I opted for something a little different: videotyme.com

There will be all kinds of videos there: Movies, TV, models, humor, etc. Other than setting it up and adding the content, I won't be paying a lot of attention to it. It's going to be a Google magnet and monetized with AdSense only. I will be using keywords to increase the search traffic, including rewrites of some of what I've already done.

Okay, so no more guessing!
