Blogging & WordPress Archive

Well its January 1st, 2013 today a new year has began so lets make it a great one!

2012 was a really good year for me with loosing weight and working out, manifesting an awesome girlfriend,  getting some new IKEA furniture, and lots of fun times. It was a busy year but lots of progress was made.

OH yeah and regarding the 200lbs challenge with Paulymath, well he won by 2lbs. I was too busy to post the results so I’m sorry about this but now that I am back I will try to be more organized and post more regularly.

I am currently in the process of creating some new goals for 2013 and one of them is to blog at least 3 times a week and 1 new video per month. In creating this post I forgot how fun and creative it is to share my ideas, pictures and videos with my readers.

Sorry for the quick post but stay tuned as I will be posting lots of new content very soon.

Hi Everyone, Sorry for the lack of posts and new content for the past 2 months, there’s been lots of changes in my life so I had no time to update the blog. But lots of new stuff coming soon so stay tuned….

Today is a great day I finally launched my new theme and it looks great. I’ve been working on it for about 2 weeks now and put about 30 hours into it so far. This might seem like a lot of hours to spend on a theme but when you want it right it takes time. I found this great theme called Arras but the original theme came in an all white setting so I had to do a complete theme color make over.

You will notice now that I have 9 main category pages. These will be my main topic silo’s or hubs as I call them where all the important information about each category will be stored.

Some of these Category pages are still in the works but will be done in the coming days and weeks. The main focus of this new theme was to organize the great deal of information I have on this blog so its easier to access by my readers and also from now on no good content will be lost in history.

Thank you all for reading my blog and bare with me for the next little bit till I finish the implementation of this new theme.

Thanks for reading

Bart

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven’t written a post in over a month but I’m back and gonna be writing again.

At the beginning of May I got a really bad cold so this put me out of commission for about 2 weeks, I had absolutely no energy to do anything. After getting back to normal I didn’t really have anything to write about as I didn’t do much while I was sick so I was at a loss for words to post on my blog.

Then days went by which turned to weeks and I began to doubt the effectiveness of my blog and whether to keep it going or to just shut it down altogether. Then I was thinking of taking it all down, restructuring the design and bringing it back up once complete but I was undecided.  In mid May, to boost some morale I did go to the BC Custom Classic Car Show to see if I could get some new content up but after getting home I had zero inspiration to post the pictures on my blog, why I couldn’t tell yeah.

Well after weeks of thinking about it about two nights ago I finally decided that I was gonna shut it down but then something really interesting happened the next day.

The next day at the end of my work day I was just pondering things about my blog and then something magical happened. Without even thinking about it I loaded up Firefox, went to Google, typed in “D16Z6″ and clicked search, to my surprise my very own website was ranked #1.

How could this be? I was shocked as I know I was about 6-9th for months now and then today I was #1. I was very puzzled specially since I haven’t really posted anything new about that subject or anything else for over a month.  So then I logged into the back end of my blog and was also shocked as I had lots of comments from people about my blog and how its helping them out with the information that I am providing.

At this moment I was like WTF, whats going on here. So I sent a message to my brother Paul on MSN and said dude check this out I’m number 1 on Google and you know what he said, “Dude the universe is playing with you, its giving you a sign to keep your blog alive.” He knew I was pondering the restructuring or shutting down of my blog days before that so he laughed and said “Once a blogger always a Blogger.”

So at this point I got re-inspired and re-energized to write more posts and pages with great information and help even more people out. So here I am a day later writing this post that I’m here to stay ready to write some more. One thing I might do is still cut down my categories once more to keep my blog more stream lined and efficient but that’s another day.

Thanks everyone for reading my blog and your welcome to leave a comment anytime.

For the last few weeks I’ve been pondering the idea of focusing on 7 main categories or pillars on my blog, the reason for this is to stay consistent and keep my readers coming back.

The 7 Main Categories would be:

1. Movies
2. Aquariums
3. Warhammer 40K
4. Technology
5. Electronics
6. Remote Control Cars
7. Automotive

The other idea I have is to have a certain day associated to each category, this way you know that Monday is my Movie day or that Wednesday is my Warhammer day. This will keep my content more consistent and keep my readers happy.

This would also mean that at least once a week or 4 times a month each category will be blogged about.

The Category for each day of the week would be as follows:

• Movie Monday
• Aquarium Tuesday
• Warhammer Wednesday
• Technology Thursday
• Electronics Friday
• RC Saturday
• Automotive Sunday

I am going to think this over this weekend and if all goes well I will start this new structure for my blog on Monday April 3rd.  So stay tuned and Signup to my email list on the right.  If you have any comments, feel free to leave them by clicking on the blog post.

I finally got a chance to create my advertising page for my blog as its traffic is growing at an increasing rate so if you wish to advertise your blog, service or site on my WonderBart.com check out my advertising page on top or click one of the ads on the right.

It’s been a long time since I posted some new content and in the recent weeks I was contemplating on changing the theme to something better so here it is ENJOY!

I haven’t done any polishing on the layout yet but it definitely looks better then the old one I had when I combined my blogs together into WonderBart.com.  After moving in April  and doing the whole unpacking and settling in routine, I lost my direction of what to do with my blog but now I have some great ideas so stay tuned for more updates.

I have finally decided to combine all blogs into one because being separated they were all suffering from lack of content in the last few months.
