Brief Update
April 8, 2008 – 3:21 pm
Bit quiet around here at present as I've got a couple of things underway. The first is the continued work on adding to my Foodie site. I'm adding a 'bookshelf' page, listing all of my cookbooks (I have a couple!) with links through to Amazon, along with a kitchenware page, again listing products I have or recommend, linking through to places to buy them. It won't be a major money spinner but once the pages are set up (I'll use a database table to hold the info and just populate the pages from it) then it could make a little additional income. If I can find a decent kitchen affiliate site then that would be better, so I'll have a look through my affiliate networks too (any suggestions gratefully received).
The second is a new product selling site selling what I'm (semi) good at, programming. After writing a few plugins for commercial sites running WordPress, a friend and I have decided to set up a site selling WordPress plugins designed for the commercial market. Most of these are designed for CMS usage as opposed to blogging usage, so we're hoping to target people using WordPress for a budget site and website developers who offer WordPress as a CMS. We've found a great domain name available (a rarity these days) so just need to get the site set up reading to sell the products. We'll most likely use Secure Delivery to deal with taking payments and 'delivering' the products, and then set up a members area for receiving upgrades. Of course, WordPress will be used to power all of this too.
So a couple of things on the go

Cheers Adam. There will probably be a lot of WordPress as a CMS related posts too so it may be of use to anyone who uses WP in that manner.

Integrating a feed from Cookware.co.uk on Affiliate Window might be a nice option for your site.
Great news on the WP CMS plugins site. Very good niche there - I'd certainly be interesting in grabbing some goodies from there when it launches.

Everything looks good on your side Sarah.
On my side? My business is doing very well nowadays and I'm really short of time to progress my blog these days.
