Setting Up The Site: $9.18
I spent $9.18 to purchase the domain, “www.humancensus.com“. However, I did not set up the site there at first, but created a free WordPress blog at www.humancensus.wordpress.com.
Midway through the project, I decided to move the site over to the original domain. This requires hosting, but I already have […]
Well, kids… we made it to 30 days! So, now what?
Typically, my “Hundred Dollar Business” projects are based on 3 specifications:
Spend $100 or less.
Use 30 days.
Learn something about good business principles.
Human Census was started on Jun 24th, with our Day 1 Question. Here’s an inside look at the cost, time, and things learned […]
Just a couple of updates–
1. Instead of giving statistics of site views, etc., I’ll report daily on these items:
a. How many comments were submitted.
b. The top voted commenters of the day.
c. Relevant links/sites/organizations for further info on the topic.
2. Usually, comments are closed on the previous question when the new question is posted. However, Wednesday […]
In the daily reports, I had a section for Notable Answers Snippets, where I listed some of the comments each day that stood out to me.
But, it was a completely arbitrary rating system, and besides, I don’t care what I think is interesting, I want to know what you think is interesting.
So, courtesy […]
Hey, so I’m finishing moving the site to its own shiny new hosting, so I can add cool features like “vote on this comment” and other stuff.
Quick explanation– and I’ll try not to lose anyone in the process–
I just redirected humancensus.com back over to humancensus.wordpress.com, while the DNS and all that other geeky stuff […]
Thanks to a suggestion from my friend Nick Disney, I added a “Google Gadget” which you can click on in order to add Human Census to your iGoogle page.
(iGoogle is basically a “customized Google home page”, where you can search Google for stuff, but also access your gmail, calendar, news sites, blogs, recipes, cartoons, or […]
So, today we just hit our first 1000 site views. Nice– thanks everyone!

I’ve […]

Hey folks!
Sadly, this site is officially being moved over to plain old www.humancensus.com.
Actually, this will make it more convenient for most people, and I’ll be able to add cool things after I finish moving the site.
If you type in www.humancensus.wordpress.com, it’ll still take you to the right place. You’ll just be typing in more letters […]
