I’ve been chugging along slowly on StevesLeads.com for the past week.  The initial design is more or less there, and I’ve been looking for the perfect stock photography for the splash screens to somewhat limited success.   If anyone has a good (cheap!) stock photo website they use, please feel free to comment or email me […]

Over the next few weeks we have a couple interesting projects coming along at 18th Street. For one, I am recommitting myself to get StevesLeads.com out the door in the next few months. The project was stalled somewhat when I decided I needed to overhaul the interface to make it more professional. […]

Hi everyone,
I’m so excited, some of my sites finally have PageRank! Of course, with this great position comes great responsibility. From now on I will only link to good sites.
Anyway, some updates. The project with Ian, which is called JustConfirmed.com, is in the process of being redesigned by a web designer I met on CraigsList. […]

Hi everyone,
Been a while since I posted and I don’t want this blog to officially be called dead by the Blog Police.
It’s been a hectic time here at 18th Street. We rolled out a new project recently that Ian will be heading up; I’ll post the link once we are ready for public access. (and […]

I decided to open-source BananaPanel under the GPL.
I’ve always wanted to make an open-source project, and this was a great opportunity to do it. Free content management systems are nothing new, but BananaPanel has an architecture that is unlike most others; you can run it as a server from one location and host your […]

Nevermind. I’m back.

It’s official. Google hates me.
First came the rejection of my AdSense application for ClickPyramid.com. This I can almost understand, since ClickPyramid, while being totally legitimate in every way, is not unlike several other sites of more dubious distinction. The quoted reason for why it was rejected is that they have a ban on sites […]

Hi everyone,
Good meeting yesterday with Ian; we’re planning a relaunch of SneakyFeelings.com in January with a renewed focus on events and singles nights. Right now he’s laying the groundwork for this, and I’m busting my butt getting StevesLeads.com finished so I can get a new source of working capital. It’s nice to have a partner! […]

We launched a new online service yesterday, ClickPyramid.com.
It’s a system for small site owners (like us!) to generate traffic through network marketing. Basically, users of the service view 5 sites and grab codes from each page that comes up. They then enter these codes in a form, along with information about a site they would […]

Hi everybody,
Things are going well over at 18th Street. I had a chance to meet with my good friend and soon-to-be business partner Steve Williams last night, and ate way too much Italian food. (hmm. pizza) We’re working on that networking site project together and everything is proceeding according to schedule. The public launch will […]
