60 in 3 Is Not An Adult Entertainment Site!

Filed Under Announcement, Web Site | Leave a Comment

As some of you might have noticed, we’ve been having spam issues at 60 in 3.  Someone is spamming the posts with various comments advertising porn sites.  At last count, I have around 1000 comments in the spam queue in addition to the 100 or so that actually got through the filters and were posted.  I believe I’ve gotten all the ones that have been posted and deleted them.  However, if I missed any, please let me know and I’ll delete them as soon as possible.

This seems to be a continuing issue since I’ve seen another two or three spam comments come in while I was writing this message.  I’m trying to figure out a better way to stop them that will not take up as much of my time and will hopefully have a solution in place by tomorrow.  Until then, I thank you for your patience and hope you do not take offense at some of these comments.  They certainly do not reflect my opinions or the opinions of regular 60 in 3 readers.

No Post Today Due To Medical Issue

Filed Under Announcement | 4 Comments

It seems like I managed to injure my cornea yesterday.  Currently at the ER trying to see how serious it is.  Therefore, there will be no 60 in 3 post today.  Hopefully, everything is ok and I’ll be able to post again tomorrow.  Potential post topics for tomorrow are “exercising with an eye patch”, “How to run when you have no depth perception” and ” workouts for pirates.”  :)

Wish me luck.

Slight Technical Difficulties

Filed Under Announcement, Web Site | Leave a Comment

I upgraded a few of 60 in 3’s plug ins yesterday and this caused a slight issue on the site with some links to old series being broken. If you notice a broken link, please let me know. Also, if you notice any odd behavior on the site, let me know that as well.

Thank you for your patience,
Gal

Holiday Announcement

Filed Under Announcement, Web Site | Leave a Comment

My wife and I are about to leave on our vacation to Israel.  I’ve convinced her that 60 in 3 is a hobby and not a job, so I’ll still be posting during our absence :)  However, the normal post schedule may be a bit off.  We’ll be back to our normal schedule on Jan 2nd.

Happy Holidays,

Gal

Announcement - Please Read

Filed Under Announcement, Web Site | 6 Comments

I started 60 in 3 a few months ago as a way to share what I had learned about fitness and eating healthy.  I wanted it to be a place where I provided useful information to people struggling with the same problems I had a few years ago.  60 in 3 was never supposed to be a business or a place for me to make money.  It was supposed to be fun, not a job.

Unfortunately, I think I’ve succumbed to the temptation of having a large profitable blog at the expense of time and quality.  I spend quite a bit of time marketing the site, working with search engine optimization and coming up with content that will appeal to search queries.  This is something I never had in mind when I started this side and it’s a direction I’ve decided I don’t really want to go down.

So I’m going to be moving 60 in 3 back to a personal blog about fitness rather than a commercial one.  That means a few things will change:

  • Posting schedule will move from every weekday to every Monday, Wednesday and Friday plus a weekend post.  I feel like I was trying too hard to come up with content at the expense of quality.  I think this will let me focus on good helpful information again.
  • Some ads will disappear.  Not all of them unfortunately since the site still costs a bit of money to maintain, but a few will.
  • I’ll be marketing the site a lot less.  If people find it and like it, that’s great and I hope they become regular readers.

I hope you all will bear with me through these changes and continue to find 60 in 3 a useful site for your fitness and health needs.

Regards,

Gal

Begone, evil diet ads!

Filed Under Announcement, Web Site | 1 Comment

I’ve finally found a way to banish those stupid “lose 100lbs in 3 days” ads from 60 in 3. It’s always bothered me that they were there, even as I was telling people not to use them. So you should hopefully see less and less of them as time go by. If you do see one, please send me an email or post a comment with the URL it points to.

Thank You,

Gal

Gone Canoing! Back On The 30th

Filed Under Announcement | Leave a Comment

60 in 3 is going to be silent until Tuesday of next week since I’m going canoing in the midwest with a friend.  Will be back with new posts on Tuesday the 30th, unless I get attacked by a bear or something, in which case I won’t be back until at least the 31st.  :)
