Last Words

After much deliberation, I have decided to retire HollyMannia and move on.

Until our crazy paths cross again...

Sunny Day Again

Yes, now that my website is working, the sun is shining through my window again. I like my website. It is not back to its original shape but it is okay. I'm starting to write again. Three weeks of limbo and now, back in the light.

I remember the Scriptlance programmer suggested that I buy a software (that he is selling!) for articles. Content is very important to any site as Holly Mann herself wrote in her eBook, Honest Riches. So this programmer who himself runs magazine sites like mine recommended a software that would make content building easier. It's a software that revises the article so it does not duplicate the original.

I see two reasons why this is a good idea. First, search engines don't like sites with similar contents and thus, would not index them. So your website may not be searchable if you copy contents from other websites. The second is plagiarism. Of course, some articles online may be copyrighted and copying and pasting them in your own site would not do you any better.

But you know what? I'm glad I did not buy the software. I saw an article I submitted to some ezines during my wealthyfreelancer.com saga (now, this is no longer mine as somebody "stole" the domain name) and lo and behold, it kind of murdered my original article. What the software does is substitute the words with the same meanings. For me, it's like a thesaurus that replaces a word with its synonym. But the software is not a thinking machine just like a person. The overall result is horrible... like written by someone drunk or dumb or both.

I hope I copied the revised version so I can show you. Maybe next blog.
