More Effort!

2 days ago the game was in maintenance so my day was pretty boring, but I'm going to change that. Another thing I'm going to change is my pageviews. I'm nearing 250, and for almost 4 months of doing this, I think I need to get more. My best month was May, where I had 85 pageviews, and the numbers have been declining a lot since then. So far I only have 8 for August. So this is inspiring me to put more effort into my blog, which I need to do. I'm going to start making posts every day and put more time into my blog, because that's the only way to make it better. Taking 20-30 minutes out of my day to focus on my post is something I can definitely do. And more effort led me to thinking about something special I could do, because I sort of lost my roots when I tried to make my blog more about me. I feel like I removed the spine from my blog, because before it was too stiff, and now it's too loose. So I'm adding a Star App, which is just like a daily featured app. If you want to see a list of previous Star Apps, I'll be making a page for it soon. And to prove how much I put effort in today, I even made a new icon for the Star App. I can't upload the Star App logo right now because it hasn't been made yet but tomorrow it might be.

Today's Star App is Shopkick! I don't have an iPhone, so I can't really take full advantage of it, but from checking into the stores everyday for a month, I've made upwards of 150 kickbucks and am almost Level 9. For the selfless shopkicker, you can even donate to charities through Shopkick. There are a total of 33 different charities you can donate to, and once you donate you get a neat little pin type thing for your My Stuff page. Sadly, the app doesn't have a social part, so you're the only one who can see your little pins. There are also badges, which you can get by going into stores, completing fun quests, scanning items, and becoming fans of stores. And if you decide to sign up for Shopkick (which you definitely should) my promo code is currant8399. If you enter this code when you sign up, you get an extra 50 kickbucks and so do I, so it's a win-win.

I was so excited to go into my first dungeon for Dragon Nest, and as soon as I hit the first monster there my computer froze up. So I'm giving up on Dragon Nest and I'm jut going to wait for the next Nexon game to come around. Or maybe I'll wait for a Facebook game from Zynga or Meteor Games. Whichever of these companies publishes a new game first will be sure to have me as a supporter, unless the game is terrible, and I'll become entirely obsessed with it. That's all for tonight, so bye.
