			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the end of each month I try, keyword there is try, to do a round up or wrap up type post that goes over some monthly stats including the income from the blog. Well, at the end of January that didn&#8217;t happen, so I am going to make it happen now.</p>
<p>Even at just 28 days long, February was a good month for me and Dorm Room Biz. Here are some of the updates and what is to come over the next month.</p>
<p><strong>Moved my RSS feeds from Feedburner to Google</strong> &#8211; this was an automatic thing that happened the last time that I went to log in to Feedburner. I was asked to move them and went for it. Now, I&#8217;ll be able to manage my RSS feeds, Analytics, AdSense, AdWords, Analytics, and Gmail all from the same account. Sounds pretty nice to me! I haven&#8217;t been using it long enough to tell if the transition really has any effect on anything. If you are not <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/dorm-room-biz" target="_blank">subscribed via RSS</a>, do so! <em>Have any of you guys experienced problems with the transition or even good things come from it?</em></p>
<p><strong>New Dorm Room Biz Theme</strong> &#8211; I know I&#8217;ve mentioned it before and eluded that something new was coming. Well, the time is finally here and in the next couple weeks it will be launched. I have a programmer assisting me with the WordPress customization and everything is going well. For an idea of what the site will look like, it will be based off of the <a href="http://budurl.com/drbwoothemes" target="_blank">Open Air</a> theme from <a href="http://budurl.com/drbwoothemes" target="_blank">WooThemes</a>. <em>Look out for this exciting change coming soon!</em></p>
<p><strong>More Videos! </strong>As you have probably noticed, I have started making and posting more videos. I love the way that the video blogging or &#8220;vlogging&#8221; arena is headed and definitely want to be involved in it. For this reason I have been utilizing my Flip video camera more than ever shooting different videos for blogging tips, business tips, and interviews. Keep coming back or subscribe to the <a href="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/dorm-room-biz" target="_blank">RSS feed</a> (or <a title="Subscribe via Email" href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=dorm-room-biz&amp;amp;loc=en_US" target="_blank">email updates</a>) to catch them all. <em>You can also <a title="Follow me on Twitter!" href="http://www.twitter.com/chrispund" target="_blank">follow me on Twitter</a> for updates of posts.</em></p>
<p><strong>New Advertisers on Dorm Room Biz</strong> &#8211; I&#8217;m happy to welcome <a title="GreenerBilling.com" href="http://greenerbilling.com/?utm_source=dorm-room-biz.com&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=product-smallbiz" target="_blank">GreenerBilling.com</a> as a new advertiser on Dorm Room Biz. If you are looking for a &#8220;green&#8221; way to do your businesses billing and invoicing online, then I suggest you check out <a href="http://greenerbilling.com/?utm_source=dorm-room-biz.com&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=product-smallbiz" target="_blank">GreenerBilling</a>. They have some great updates coming to their site soon and we will be putting together a full in depth review of the site shortly. Also, back with us for another month are the great guys over at <a title="Uprinting.com" href="http://www.uprinting.com" target="_blank">Uprinting</a> with some links in the sidebar. If you need printing services, check them out. I recently got some postcards printed with them and they turned out great!</p>
<p>Chance to Meet other Young Entrepreneurs &#8211; With February came Yanik Silver&#8217;s Underground 5 held in Washington D.C.. Although <a title="I Attended Yanik Silver's Underground 5 for Free" href="http://www.dorm-room-biz.com/2009/02/22/i-attended-yanik-silvers-undeground-5-for-free/" target="_blank">I didn&#8217;t attend the actual conference</a> I did head down to D.C. to meet Michael Dunlop who was over from the U.K., as well as <a title="Meeting Ryan Allis of iContact" href="http://www.dorm-room-biz.com/2009/03/03/meeting-ryan-allis-of-icontact-and-zero-million/" target="_blank">Ryan Allis</a>, and some other young entrepreneurs. I love networking and meeting new people, and try to take advantage of it any time I can, so if you are ever in the Washington D.C. or Baltimore, MD areas for a conference, event, or whatever, feel free to drop me an email or <a href="http://www.twitter.com/chrispund" target="_blank">tweet</a> and we can try to get together!</p>
<p>*****</p>
<p>Now, on to the blog income. This will be a little skewed because I had an advertiser pay for 2 months up front but everything else should be pretty solid amounts. This detail is also a rough estimate and a combination of Dorm Room Biz as well as a couple other sites of mine.</p>
<p>Private Advertisers: $100.00<br />
Product Commissions: $22.50<br />
CashCrate: $26.61<br />
Text Link Ads: $12.76<br />
Adsense: $7.25<br />
<strong>TOTAL: $169.12</strong></p>
<p>******</p>
<p>I think that&#8217;s pretty much all I have for this update. I do have some exciting news that I&#8217;ll be sharing in a separate post but just know that it should affect the blogging that happens here on Dorm Room Biz for the better!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">If you&#8217;d be interested in writing a guest post, I&#8217;m always open to them! <a href="mailto:chris@dorm-room-biz.com">Drop me a line.</a></span><br />
