August 2007
A month has gone by so fast. Finished my term 3’s examinations and now awaiting the finals. Stressful it is I must say. It is to the level that once it is time to relax, I do not even feel good at all. You know the feeling of me studying, worrying for my next subject and so on. I often feel that way; it is scary as I find myself hard to relax. Putting that aside, SwiftWorld is now officially 2 month old. Started in July, my site/blog has gain a number of hits and visits from people all around the world. Not too impressive but still, I feel good when I saw the improvement in the number of visitors compared to July. August is gone and now waiting for September. It has been a fruitful month; gain quite a lot of experiences through reading through web mastering forums and so on. Asked for opinions and comments on my content and articles and not much complaints and I am really glad of that. Without further ado, let us check the statistics for the month of August, and then followed by some reflecting on my personal life.

Writing
Comments about my reviews and writings are currently positive and I hope to sustain that or improve it in future. I am currently reading up on typography and formatting and hope to come out with a solid format that I am going to stick to. Things such as bold for headings etc You know the format? Yet with good format I think it gives a better impression to readers and also increase the readability of the articles. Thus I hope through my reading and researching, I will slowly improve on my writing and format so as to provide better content for my readers.

Total Earnings & Revenue

Oh god that is really little. Will do to find out how much I get from Adsense (If any that is) and update this entry. My main purpose is not really for the money, but for the experience and fun. I enjoy doing such stuff and since I enjoy doing such things and there is the opportunity to earn some money during the process, why not?
Conclusions
This month has been rather smooth for both me and SwiftWorld. Met no problems with the host and such. Next few weeks I might be really busy as my preparations for the final year examinations are taking place. If possible, I plan to buy a domain before the end of 2007 and switch to paid hosting if there is a need to. Not too sure about that though but anyways, so far so good, may SwiftWorld keep improving in future and may I have the will and determination to study and get good grades for the finals.
