Just a little over two days since the Pinkseo WP Theme was lauched and it’s already been downloaded about 450 456 times (at the time of this writing). Pinkseo’s site traffic went up about 700% (would you believe?), coupled with about a hundred backlinks. All in just over a day.

It’s overwhelming to see more and more people using the theme (girls mostly, but heck, some MALES too!!). I’ve been monitoring technorati and found some interesting modifications in some of the sites. Such as this:

and this:

I guess even in ventures such as this, you come to a point where you stop enjoying all the backlinks and traffic and just start loving the fulfillment that comes with providing people something that they can use on their blogs.

Perhaps that’s why girls like her can get away with a PR7 (and gracefully at that) even without having to beg people around to link her. (Maybe she didn’t really care about the backlinks to begin with). And it’s not like she insisted on Matt Cutts to use her theme. Her WP themes are simply.. classic. Which makes girls like moi more… uh, inspired.

Hence, my goals hereforth (not necessarily connected to the WP theme study/discovery):

• Learn CSS. Oddly, I know the principles (from wayback five years ago when I was making all those crappy layouts for my previous blogs, on personal initiative). Sadly, I’m too stubborn and lethargic to actually sit down and work on a table-less layout. My knowledge of webdesign is too uh, table-ish, if you know what I mean.
• Be more SEO Philippines active. Er, let see what I can do about this.
• Work on the domain. Uh, let see what I can do about this TOO.
• Manage my budget responsibly. With The Laptop coming in next month (yay, I’m excitement!! LOL), hence an additional expense worth several hundred dollars on the credit card bill by March, I’ve gota stop all the unnecessary spending (i.e. shopping) and be more responsible with my resources from here on.

Ok. That’s it. I shall stop my list at that coz the longer a list like this goes, the less feasible (or, using my boss’ term, “scalable”) it becomes.

Spread more pink love. Ituloy Angsulong! :)
