Playing with fonts and CSS
NevBlog has mainly been a silly little personal blog where I assume the only reader is myself.
It’s always been a spot to play around with tech also. I personally modified much of this WordPress layout to look like it does. It’s been very rewarding learning a little bit more CSS and such.
This single video was a huge help.
I utilize help for some stuff I still can’t do.
Anyways, there are the new font sets:
This is how H1 text looks.
This is how H2 text looks.
This is how H3 text looks.
This is how H4 text looks.
This is how H5 text looks.
This is how H6 text looks.
Roots of this blog
I started NevBlog for one reason:
To track my finances.
In 2004 there were limited ways to do this, so the chronological order of a blog made the most sense.
So NevBlog was born. You can see it here in all it’s glory thanks to the WaybackMachine!

NevBlog then:
NevBlog now:
Through the magic of the internets, people somehow would stumble upon my blog and read it. The blog was a side-project for fun and documentation.
Somewhere along the way business somehow got mixed up with it. Which is fine, but moves the blog away from it’s roots.
I think in the next year I’ll be switching that up. I’ve started posting kopywriting stuff on a different blog now: KopywritingKourse.com/blog
It’s still in the infant stages and will be changing a lot. But it’ll be nice to separate this stuff from NevBlog stuff.
And I REAAALLLYYYY miss that little column on the original NevBlog where’d I’d track all my finances. THAT was cool :-)
the blog
Know something I’m really thankful for?
NevBlog.com was born on November 17th, 2004 (almost TEN years ago!!) to keep track of my financial situation.
It was never meant to be read by another human being other than myself.
Now why would a blog be so important for me? It’s for a simple reason:
I FORGET EVERYTHING.
Ask me what I did in March 2006….and I have no freaking clue.
However I can just go to the sidebar of my blog and click on the March 2006 archives….and INSTANTLY it all comes flooding back. Simply reading a few sentences or seeing some images from that time allows me to instantly recall everything that was happening around that time.
For this reason, my blog acts as my surrogate brain. Retaining all the memories I would otherwise surely forget.
So for keeping my brain alive, thanks NevBlog :-)
The stats below don’t tell the whole story, but starting sometime in 2005 I installed Google Analytics, and here are the stats from a blog “nobody was supposed to read”:
For starters, it’s cool that OVER ONE MILLION PEOPLE have viewed something I created. Maybe I should put a badge on NevBlog saying “Now seen by over 1.5million people!” :-)
Here’s some fuzzy math on how many cumulative hours have been spent on my site:
How the F*#% do I make money?
Since I’ve never had a real job, people always ask me how I make money.
Here’s the answer on video:
ENJOY!
(people have already said this was a SUPER inspiring video…..so set aside 15 minutes and watch it. Took me 3 days to edit this mofo)!!
