Apparently, I’ve been featured at Business World (Philippines) in the 22-23 September 2006 issue (Earning Money through Blogs by Anne Nerissa Alina).
Unfortunately, I didn’t know about the article (only found out through my sis, via Yugatech), so I don’t even know what’s in the feature. And, I certainly don’t have a copy. So, if you’re a kind soul who can send me a copy (even a scanned one would do!), I’d be really grateful.
And, since it’s all about making money from blogs, a few other probloggers were mentioned, including Yugatech (Abe) himself, b5 blogger Ruth Schaffer, and my b5 business partner Darren Rowse.
Oh, and I just found out that my reviews at About Web Logs had been “rated” by Consumer Search. Based on credibility (when it comes to reviewing Web Design Software), my rating is #6 & #7. Just after Smart Computing, CNET.com, MacWorld, PC Magazine, and Top 10 Reviews. Not bad. 
UPDATE (27/9/06): Thanks to Abe & Connie, I managed to read the article online (BusinessWorld article). However, the site seems to keep going up and down. 
Anyway, I found out that the writer basically just referred to me as a “blogging expert” and used my work at About.com (Web Logs) as a reference. In any case, it was mostly good. Well, except Darren’s Australia-based like I am, not U.S.-based.

Congrats on your credibility rating! That’s one impressive roster. Way cool!
About the PR/Feature thingie… I asked Abe of Yugatech if he can send me a scanned copy [since he only has one, I think] I’ll forward it to you as soon as I get it. Uh, unless someone beats me to it, that is. Heehee.
Way to go!
