This is what I call Asnio

This is it — this is my lat­est blog­ging ven­ture called Asnio. This is more of a per­sonal blog for me, but it’s not solely about my per­sonal life (because no one reads per­sonal blogs any­more). I want to write a blog record­ing my jour­neys on the inter­webz as a 15 year old blog­ger and entrepreneur.

More specif­i­cally, I want to reflect my expe­ri­ence online mak­ing money, tell you about the hard­ships of being such a young entre­pre­neur, and lots of other stuff. I hope to meet a lot of other young’uns through this blog.

I’m using Thesis

If you couldn’t tell by the epic look of the blog, I am using The­sis. It is a really cool theme that I am hav­ing fun mess­ing around with. I decided I needed a pro­fes­sional look­ing theme that has great out-of-the-box SEO (because I will be frank with you — SEO isn’t my thing) and presents con­tent in a really nice, clean manner.Thesis: How Smart Is Your Theme?

Every­thing about The­sis is awe­some. The life­time support/upgrades, the flex­i­bil­ity of the theme, and so much more. So if you think I will be yet another blog­ger brag­ging how good The­sis is — you’re damn right! There’s so much great stuff to talk about when it comes to this theme, so I will do my best to write some tuto­ri­als and other The­sis related stuff when I think about it.

I will be con­stantly tweak­ing this theme until I’m 100% happy with it (will never hap­pen). For some rea­son the con­tent and side­bars are dif­fer­ent widths in dif­fer­ent browsers, and I have no idea wtf is wrong. But I’m work­ing on that, so if the side­bar looks too close to the con­tent in IE, Safari, or Opera (should be okay in Fire­fox) — I’m seri­ously sorry!

Some things I want to mention

This is my own blog. It’s not authored by any­one else except me, Alex. So, I am going to cut the “pro­fes­sional blog­ger” crap and have a lit­tle fun with this blog.

Some things I want you to know specif­i­cally about my “fun”

  • I write for peo­ple, not Google. The­sis writes for Google.
  • I’m going to be hon­est, when I put an affil­i­ate link on this blog, I want you to click it. So, to make sure you do check it out, all affil­i­ate links have “gtfo” in the URL so you know to “GTFO” and buy a super cool prod­uct. Like The­sis.
  • When I say that the New Eng­land Patri­ots and Jack­sonville Jaguars are the NFL’s Finest (see side­bar), I mean it. :D

I want to throw up the occa­sional arti­cle that could help you out in dif­fer­ent areas of web­site build­ing. I try to keep all of my blog­ging arti­cles at my pride and joy, Blo­gus­sion so don’t expect arti­cles about blog­ging here. How­ever, I do want to write about stuff like free­lanc­ing, young entre­pre­neur stuff, and other things on the inter­net (social net­work­ing for example).

Just check out that cool blue bar up top with the (hope­fully work­ing) drop­down menus that has all of the cat­e­gories on the blog. I am a Mac user, so there will be some Apple stuff I will touch up on. I’m also a Word­Press enthu­si­ast, so I will be writ­ing about Word­Press plenty too. I won’t go over all of my cat­e­gories, so check them out!

So that’s all I want to really say for now; THAT is Asnio. You should prob­a­bly sub­scribe to my RSS feed because it’s going to get a lot more inter­est­ing soon enough.

I switch both of them up so I can promote them equally. But I do promote Blogussion more as it is more active.

I think Ive mentioned this before, at 15 years your 10 years ahead of when I started so keep at it – by the time you get to 25 youll have more money than you can spend. Annother compliment (Im feeling very generous today!) – your grammer is way better than most 15 years olds let alone 30 years so well done!

You built a blog about blogging, you built a personal blog, you did it in a very kick ass cool design and you’re still 16? Don’t kid me. I built a blog about blogging, built my own personal blog (both of them written in indonasian, that’s the difference), do a wordpress theme building, and i am 19! Man, what a shame to me. There’s somebody who are younger than me and do it in a smarter fashion way!

You’re rock, Alex. i love this blog.

Best Regards from Indonesia.
