I still like blogging, publishing and writing on the web. But, I have seen it change so much from the early days when I began online in 1996. A lot of it is disappointing. Once we had free creative energy and the only rules were those we gave ourselves. There was no marketing, or SEO…
I’ve been coming across more sites which ask me to turn off ad block on my web browser. Most are keeping it friendly, like this request from Guardian (asking for financial support instead of support through ad views). That’s fair enough and I do understand.

I think back to the the anxiety I had the day I left to embark on my first travel adventure abroad. I had gone against my mother’s wishes and booked a solo ticket to Europe in hopes to feed the urge that had been burning inside me since graduation. Sure, the idea of travelling to…

That’s why I thought I would share some important tips…
