recruiting some more help

I posted another ad a few days ago on actionscript.org and I have received a number of qualified respondants. Thus far, I have added 4 new members to my team, each of them highly qualified. Particularly of note, an expert animator / graphic artist and someone who is going to help me improve my games and package standalone versions for sale.

I have also been back at work designing web pages, and I think you will agree that my skills are improving rapidly: http://aplaygroundforthemind.com. This is an informational site I am making on the company to explain the difference between “A Playground for the Mind”, playwithyourmind.com and The Billion Dollar Quest. I will direct potential helpers and investors here to learn more about what I am doing.

going to Buffalo this weekend to visit an old friend from college. she has just finished her med school classes and tomorrow finds out where she is doing here residency.

search engine success

if you have been following these posts for some time, you will recall that a few weeks ago I bought and developed the domain freeonlinetypinggames.com to try to capture some of the 100,000-odd searches done each month for “typing games” “free typing games” and “online typing games”… well, despite the fact that I have yet to adveritise it or try to get any links to it, i have begun to see some success

March 1,2: 1 search engine hit
March 3: 5 search engine hits
March 4: 12 search engine hits
March 5: 18 search engine hits
March 6: 27 search engine hits

right now, only Yahoo is finding me. but if you go there and type in any of those three search terms, I will appear on the front page (The Keyboard Playground)… let s hope this trend continues!

next up: thewordgames.com (which are search for 4 times as often as typing games)
