Where is BlogTides heading? This is a question that I’m often asked and it gets me thinking about the direction I want to take this blog and its hosted blogs. Well, the hosted blogs will go wherever they will go as they are are on a variety of different subjects and the owners will take them to where they need to be.

But as for the home base, or more specifically this blog, it needs some direction other than just being a admin info blog. After all, there’s only so much you can write about as a site admin especially when there are not many changes coming along. Ok, there was the recent upgrade to the WP software to bring it right up to date. There are plans to further upgrade the site with new plugins, new themes and a more robust revenue sharing program that will allow chikita and amazon ads to be served as well as adsense, ebay and kontera. These are in the testing stage and will be rolled out quite soon once the bugs are ironed out. You probably won’t notice the difference right away unless you’re looking to change themes or happen to chech your revenue share.

On that note, ebay of course is now not allowed (unless you happen to be the host domain owner) as EPN have changed the rules forbidding their ads to be shown on any domain you don’t personally own. That includes WPmu hosts, Blogger blogs, Wordpress blogs (not that you could ever show ads on there), geocites, blinkweb, blogetery and any of the other free blogging platforms. You can still serve ebay ads on hub pages and squidoo lenses, but you must use their own module and not the rss feeds that gave you 100% of the revenue.

Ok, thats about all for now. I’ll post again when the new updates take effect and in the meantime will have a long hard think about the direction of this blog!
