After the design is set, the coding will begin, along with all the new added features. Trend Spike will become a Men’s Online Magazine….blog inspired. I am hiring a few writers to write content for Trend Spike as regular contributors (2-4 times per month). If you feel like you’re a good candidate, go ahead and shoot me an email via the contact page. I myself will only be able to write about 3 articles a week, since I do work full-time and go to school. I want Trend Spike to be producing 5-7 articles a week…not to mention continuous updates to the new features which I’ll be taking care of. Therefore, it would best if this blog had a team of 5 or so writers.

For all of you bloggers out there, have you entered “WTW’s Craziest Internet Marketing Contest You’ve Ever Seen?” It comes to an end tonight, and I’m hoping I can come out with a few prizes. I wouldn’t mind winning the OIOpublisher and the free CSS coding, for obvious reasons…and who could argue with winning a cash prize? Lol. I’m normally not a big fan of contests myself, but this one was just too big, and it had too many prizes that could really boost the effectiveness of my relaunch effort.

So anyway, there you have it. Keep checking back, because you won’t want to miss the relaunch, trust me! Or just subscribe and you’ll get the relaunch post right in your email.

Quick Update on Trend Spike

This will be the third theme that you’ve seen on Trend Spike since it was launched about a month ago, but this new one is pretty much where I’ve been wanting to head for some time now. When I originally started this site, I had some great ideas, but I felt that it would be best to hold off on them until I got my feet wet in the world of blogging. Therefore, the Premium News Themes seemed like the best bet, and at that point in time, they were.

However, I have some pretty big announcements and features coming soon, and the current theme/layout just won’t work. I think it’s also about time that I’ve had my own custom theme made. The new design is being worked on now, and will be coded some time next week. I hope to launch the new look in about 2-3 weeks, but we’ll see how everything goes. There’s always something that pushes you back.

Thanks to everyone who has been a regular reader and/or subscriber. The site had 1,000 uniques in January, 4,000 in February, and on track for 8,000+ in March. I’m planning to do major advertising in April, and I’d like to see 50,000 or more uniques each month by summer. Therefore, I felt that the new layout was needed now, to give the site room to grow.By the way, for those of you who have asked for more articles on the other subjects that Trend Spike covers, such as video games, cars, etc; those are definitely topics that I intend to cover. After the new theme is ready, you’ll see plenty of features, and new articles 5-7 times a week. Also coming soon, I’ll be holding some contests giving away some huge prizes. More info on that soon!

Trend Spike Is Movin’ On Up

What do you guys think? Not only about this clock, but the discussion in general. Is the destruction of Earth and mankind inevitable, or will we always find a solution? How aware are you when placing your footprint? Anyways, I enjoy finding things like this that keep me amused for a few minutes. Let me know if you have something fun you want to share.

World Gone Wild

Well it was time to take the test. As I enter my name in the search box, I’m thinking to myself, oh great, another name that gets stored into their database, and eventually gets spit out on the front page, for some woman to tell the world that I cheated on her. Well the results for now are negative. Dateline won’t be showing up at my door, questioning my love life.

But wait, what’s this? A recent poll on the site, shows that 58% of the women audience would cheat on their partner. So, aside from women who come to this site for true, emotional support, the majority of these women are coming, not only to humiliate some guy who supposedly cheated on them, but to also verify that they themselves would cheat? Oh boy, hypocritical much?

Either way the site is amusing, for a minute or two anyway. I decided to see which guy made it to the top of the list, hehe. Hope he has some sort of public protection from the angry mob that might catch him in an alley some day. Turns out my suspicion was right. The guy at the top of the list, who has over 56,000 views, is being harassed by a woman who appears to have too many personal issues. This guy’s picture and full name is pasted on his profile for the world to see. According to the women commenting, this woman has been creating a new profile and getting this man on the front page of the website since September. Wow! I need to hire her to get me on the front page of Digg for 6 months.

Don’t bother reading the first 20 comments in the profile. It’s mainly the same woman spamming the board with the same exact message, all in caps of course. Skimming some of the comments, she apparently has even gone so far as to call him a child predator, and give out personal information, such as the name’s of his friends, co-workers, and wife. Honestly, I feel bad for the women who have given this lady emotional support, and then come to find out, most of the information they were fed, turned out to be all lies. I hope the people running this website can afford a good lawyer. I’m pretty sure they’re going to be taking responsibility when some of these men fight back.

Well, there’s my dose of Jerry Springer for the day. It’s sad, but entertaining. You can’t help but laugh at the intention of the website. Are you in the database?

I’ve been listening to feedback very carefully, and trust me, the site is hardly completed. I have many ideas that I’d like to make happen in the future. Think of Trend Spike as not only a blog, but an online magazine. With that said, what would you, the readers like to see added to the site? Throw some ideas at me, and while you’re at it, let me know what you think about these features that I plan to add in the coming weeks:

Trend Spike Models - Women send in bikini pictures of themselves, and I’ll choose one to become the “Trend Spike Goddess” of the month. They will receive a free Trend Spike t-shirt and $50 cash. Their photos will then be posted on the blog, with one picture of them in their new t-shirt.

Advice - Readers send in their questions, and I’ll post them once a month on the blog, giving my opinions/answers. Questions can range from what to do in relationships, which exercises to do, which cell phone to buy, or just general questions about this web site. Of course, readers can choose to remain anonymous.

Regular readings - A blog post once every other week on a certain day. For example, “Tuesday Tavern” where I’ll post a mixed drink, how it’s made, and any history behind it that I can dig up. “Friday Food Fight” where I’ll post a healthy, but delicious recipe.

Tell me what you think. Love it? Hate it? Want to add to it? You’re the reader. You decide.

I’ll be posting articles regularly; 3-5 times a week. I’ll also be adding a new video a few times a week. Please let me know if you find any bugs with the website so that I can fix them as soon as possible. I have a few other features that I will eventually be adding as well, which I’m very excited about. However, as of now, I’ll be focused primarily on creating quality content for new articles. Be sure to check back often and of course, don’t forget to subscribe if you want to stay up to date with the latest trends for men!
