You know a topic is big when it has it's own category, eh? Well, let's see. I am sitting here, staring temptingly at the scrolling ticker on the Blog Shares site, waiting for the counter on my transactions to not be maxed out at 21. You see, Sayed, the glorious owner of the site, has limited us players to no more than 20 or so transactions per 24 hour period, and I tell you, I see why. I have found it easy to make decent cash by buying low value blogs, like a penny or two, and just siting on them until they are in the 20-40 cent range, thus making really good money for almost no cost. If I buy 1000 of a blog priced at a quarter of a cent, and sell when it hit's 20 cents, I have made $200 off an investment of $2.5. Yeah, I have made about $750 by doing this, and would be doing it more if it weren't for a lack of available transactions.
In other news, Sayed has announced he is going to be launching the site live on the 1st, so all stocks much be cleared at the time for all you keep is cash, and your blog if claimed. That should really shake up some of the stock valuations. As well, I have finally added the MT Blogshares Plugin from David Raynes, which not only shows a blog price, but also the portfolio value, all of which you can see just below the BlogShares button. I have not yet instituted the ticker that I downloaded, as I have yet to find a suitable instruction set on how to get it running.
The code looks nice, don't get me wrong, but I have no experience with PHP, and that which I do have amounts to installing stuff using PHP myAdmin, which this does not seem to need. Anyone who know what I have to do, please let me know. I want to get it running, for myself and all of you, but the creator, wise as he may have been, has failed to include the usual readme, and without it I, and many others I know, are completely lost. Once someone explains it to me, I would happily write a readme in english for it so all of the downloaders know how to install it. Sayed let me know he uses a different version of the ticker, seemingly showing the blogs with recent price changes, which I would like here. I would also like a list of all blogs, or a index by letter, of the trading blogs.
