It’s been quite awhile since I wrote up a week in review, so what better time to get back in the saddle than now? As many of you know, I struggled last month to get anything of substantial value posted up on the site and it was very frustrating. If anyone thinks that running a blog is an easy task; they’re mistaken. Finding new content that will drive readers to the site is a pain, and it only gets harder as you go. Last week I hit stride with a few quick hits and tested my hosting on Tuesday gathering up a record 315 simultaneous users online.

I’m still going through my Alexa Rank experiment that I eluded to in the August Month in Review. I think it’s working out, but the widget I installed in the sidebar is a little bit flaky. Somtimes the number fluctuates back and forth and makes me wonder just how accurate it is. (more…)

Well, GrandmasterB is back from a long weekend in Sin City and trying to get back into the office and get some blogging done. I skipped doing the week in review last week, because I had so much work to get done and not very much time for running the GMB Show.

This past weekend was great to getaway and have some fun with Mrs. GMB! We stayed at Mandalay Bay and spent a lot of time at the expansive pool. We contemplated renting a cabana for our party, but the thought of dropping $350-1800 for shade just didn’t appeal. The pool was freakin’ awesome! Sandy beach, lazy river, salt water wave pool and cold Bud Light Lime by the bucket. It’s too bad I forgot my camera at the room, because the eye candy was unbelievable…many beautiful babies. The trip was great even though I wasn’t a big winner. We had tons of fun going out and partying at Rum Jungle and drinking my weight in Mojitos. If you are a fan of Mojitos, you’ve gotta try out my boy Cuzzy’s recipe for Cuzjitos; his own creative twist on the popular cocktail.

Here’s the recap for the past week or two…man I’ve been slacking.

August 4: Cooling Off with the Kardashians - My monthly review of the numbers for July. It was the biggest month yet for GrandmasterB. August is looking like it’s going to be a pretty good month too, but not as big as July.

August 5: Q&A with GrandmasterB - August 5 - My new “weekly” feature where readers ask GMB a question about whatever they want and I give my take or answer to their burning inquiries.

August 7: Photorealistic T-Shirt Mockups - New T-Shirt templates from the fellas at Go Media. With these templates you can create t-shirt mockups on the fly for your clients.

August 12: GrandmasterB in ACCESS DIRECTV - GrandmasterB gets an advertisement published in the August issue of Access DIRECTV. If you’re a subscriber, check it out on page 16.

August 14: GrandmasterB’s Top 10 Vegas Movies - In honor of my trip to Vegas, I put together a list of the TOP 10 Vegas Movies (that I’ve seen). There are some classics on there that shouldn’t be missed.

That’s it for this rendition of the Week in Review…stay tuned for more great stuff from GMB. Don’t forget to email me with your questions and get featured on the Q&A with GrandmasterB feature post. If you’re mentioned you’ll get a linkback and 100 EntreCard credits.
