Welcome to John's Blog Space (JBS)! Latest News/Notice(s):

(LATEST UPDATE: May 20, 2013)

• Thoughts and Prayers... - I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to all affected by tornado damage in the Mid-South (including Moore, OK, USA), Midwest, and all other places affected. May God be with all of you in this horrific time.

• Still On Blogging Hiatus... - Because of Internet troubles lately, I've shut myself off from blogging and taken a hiatus. I apologize for this inconvenience. I will return when I feel my situation has resolved (or when things get better).

• Follow Me on Bloglovin! - I've added an item to allow you to connect with my blog on Bloglovin. Check the sidebar to connect with my blog via Bloglovin. I will be adding these items to my other blogs as well.

• Games Reviews May Be Moved to "John's Shop Space?" - To maximize usage of my other blogs, I may decide to move some of my game reviews over to "John's Shop Space." I'll let you know what I decide to do with some of my game reviews in the future.

• 2,000,000 Views and Happy (Belated) 4th Anniversary! - "John's Blog Space" has surpassed 2 million hits all-time (Blogger/Blogspot statistics) yesterday! Thanks to all of you for contributing to these numbers! Since Blogger/Blogspot unveiled its own stat engine in June 2008, very few blogs have reached the 2M view count. So I am very pleased to receive so much attention from such a worldwide audience. Can't say enough- thank you so much for contributing to this milestone for me! Also, my blog celebrated its 4th anniversary back on Wednesday, January 23, 2013.

• I May Be Idle... - ...but I am not "dead." I do contribute to my other blogs as well as just living life. So do remember to keep checking in to see my latest posts here on "John's Blog Space" and my other blogs.

• Over time, the "Car Style" label will not be discontinued, but posts will not take on the "Car Style" name. It was originally intended to be about how I think certain vehicles look. Because of spam comment concerns, however, I have not discussed this topic as much as I used to. Some old "Car Style" posts will be deleted with newer versions just to keep the topic alive on John's Blog Space.

• Some of this blog's old blog posts will be edited and/or deleted. Many of them are old Gran Turismo posts that will be moved over to "John's Gran Turismo Space." So I invite you to visit JGTS to get your fill of Gran Turismo commentary from me.

• My blog will take on a new theme in the near future. The current theme is called "Sea of Stars." The new theme will not really be an overall change to the look of this blog. However, I am working on something to give this blog some new life.

• 1.9M views! - John's Blog Space has recently surpassed 1.9M views all-time (Blogger/Blogspot statistics)! Thanks to all of you for contributing to these numbers! I am now less 100K hits than the unprecedented mark of 2M hits all-time. Glad to get so much traffic for my three-year old blog.

• Sidebar Updates - My Cafepress widget and Twitter widget have both been updated. Be sure to look at each of the items I've provided to you. Don't forget also to take advantage of any offers I have for all of you. Please help yourself now that you're here.

• New Search Bar - I am experimenting with a new search bar. This search bar will allow you to search for items not only in this blog, but in my others as well. Feel free to use this new search bar to your advantage. I may, however, go back to the old one and leave this newer one behind if I am unable to make the absolute most of it.

• Have You Visited My StyleSpace Blog Yet? - Visit stylespacebyjbm.blogspot.com to check out my fairly new blog devoted to fashion. StyleSpace is all about anything and everything regarding fashion. Diverse topics, diverse opinions... it is not your average "fashion" blog.

• Joined ShopSense - If you see any ShopStyle widgets, that is because I joined ShopSense, their affiliate program. This will help my fashion lovers to find more items based on relevant material in my blog posts. That leads to the next point...

• "An Important Amazon Note" is now "Affiliate Notes" - "An Important Amazon Note" now falls under a new name. It still has information regarding other affiliate programs I've signed up for. Even though it pertains to Amazon, it also includes other programs I've taken part in; and so I have to change up the info.

• Layout Changes - Incremental changes to the current layout will be made over a certain amount of time. The whole blog will have a much different appearance as the changes are being made. Forgive me if the blog appears to be messy- all I am doing is making changes in a slow and steady manner. The new Social Bar is now below the header (which I was trying to go for all along).

• "Like" Me on Facebook! - Have you "liked" my Facebook fan page? If not, and if you have Facebook, I have an easier-to-remember link. Just search "TheJohnMarine" on Facebook or just click this: http://www.facebook.com/TheJohnMarine to visit my Fan Page. Also, don't forget to add my Google+ page to your Circles. Links to all can be found at the top of my blog in the Social Bar.

• Important Note Regarding Comments Posted Here - Any suspicious comments posted on my blog will be deleted promptly. It makes no sense that the majority of comments posted here are mostly from non-genuine people (spammers, bots, etc.). It makes no sense that I get so many hits from so many people, but only so few (mostly spammers and loyal readers) actually respond to my work. So please- share your thoughts on anything I post. But with recent rough times for my blog and blogging work, I at least need some assurance that people actually care about my work. Anything that even just sounds like spam will be shot down immediately.

• Am I In Your Blogroll? - Do you have a blog of your own? Please feel free to add my blog to your Blogroll if you love "John's Blog Space!" It would be a great pleasure for you to link back to my blog if you enjoy my work. At least you can tell people how great JBS is if you love my work. After all, I'd love to meet new people who love my blog and its posts. So why not add it to your blogroll?

Links

I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't know about this Pages feature for Blogspot. The links I have in my CSS tabs are links you can visit without having to visit this section. But if you want to know more about my links, you've come to the right place. Get to know more about me here.

Before you click on my links, I recommend you read my descriptions about each link before visiting my links.



My Myspace Page.

Myspace is my home online. I'm having better days on Facebook, but I still call Myspace home. Before Blogger, I did blogs on Myspace.

My Facebook Page and my Facebook Fan Page.

I've used Facebook to connect better with my friends. I feel like I'm better able to connect with people on Facebook than I am on Myspace.

my YouTube Channel.

"JohnMarineTube" was born on November 8, 2008 and made my first video a week later. Since then I've used YouTube as a means of expressing myself through videos. My videos are nothing special. It's just me talking to the webcam offering commentary in my own way. I also want to help out people on YouTube. Part of my motivation is that YouTube has too many haters and racists. I knew what I signed up for. But having said this, I still want to have fun. Fans of mine are encouraged to subscribe to my channel and friend me. I actively police my comments because I don't want my YouTube channel to be spammed up with hateful comments.

Follow Me on Twitter!

There used to be a time where I was afraid to join Twitter, because it was too much for me to try to keep up. I mostly use Twitter to promote my blog and even post a few personal comments.

My FeedBurner Feed.

If you love my blog, I encourage you to subscribe via FeedBurner. Small samplings of my latest blog entries are available in my FeedBurner feeds and in FeedBurner Animators. Share my blogging goodness with all of your friends! :)

It's important I stress this... please read this description carefully.

I have joined a few services to monetize my blog. One of those services was Google Adsense. Another one of those services is Amazon Associates. Amazon Associates is an affiliate marketing program where I earn commission just by referring people to products and by having people order these products. If I wasn't serious about blogging and wanting to profit from my work, I wouldn't have joined either service. I don't do this for the money. I do this because I love blogging and because I want to offer things in return to thank people for visiting my blog. I don't try to make you click on the links. Instead, I offer things you may be interested in based on products in my blog. You are encouraged to at least check things out.

Products featured in my blog are relevant to the description. Since all I like to do is talk about things and use relevant examples to prove my points, I appreciate it if you take a look at products I offer, and even purchase these items if you see something you like. Since joining Amazon Associates, I've been utilizing this more in hopes that I can profit from my work. I feel like I've worked hard to try to offer my ideas on things while also offering items for you to purchase if you're willing to buy some things on Amazon.

NOTE: For every blog entry, feel free to look at "An Important Amazon Note" in the sidebar to learn more about Amazon Associates.





And those are my links. I may add more in case I join any other services or want to introduce you to more stuff. Thanks for reading!
