You know many people will argue about the value of a blog like this one having comments turned on, so that readers can voice their opinions, leave questions, etc. At time I question the advisability of allowing comments myself .. especially since many of my articles get few, or even no comments. But then again, some get hundreds, so overall I believe, as the editor/publisher around these parts that the continual spam, and the goofy comments that ask the same question as the article they … [Read more...]

Job lisiting page, Philippines

A few days ago I installed and opened for business a tool I thought would be very popular ... a live, online job search tool that can be set to show only jobs in the Philippines, and can even filter the listings into certain job categories and even specific Philippine locations.  Have you ‘Job Seekers” even had a look? I know some people have, my on-site analytics shows me pages that people view (anonymously, of course), and I put Google advertising on the page and income has already … [Read more...]

Yet again, interesting writing opportunities just pop up here at PhilFAQS every day.  I can't understand some people who are in the blogging business who say they suffer writer's block and can't figure out what to write about.

I guess living in the Philippines is more interesting than some subjects ... it's certainly more rewarding to me. Anyway, since I know a lot of people … [Read more...]
