Finally, it happened. Yes, it happened as I predicted.

Recently, you have seen the dreaded image “Bandwidth Exceeded” in place of your images (and my images, of course). The Photobucket site which hosts my images have informed me that the download traffic for my online material has exceeded the bandwidth allocated to each free user (25GB of traffic each month). While its embarrassing, the silver lining is that traffic on my site (and yours) have been growing exponentially resulting in a need for me to go with a higher bandwidth account (pro account).

I’m providing my blogger templates for free. Yes, it is totally free. So, if you find they cool, helpful, inspiring, or whatsoever, I guess it’ll be a pleasure to donate me some money so that I could buy a Pro account on Photobucket. The current price is $3.95/month or $39.95/year.

Please click on the button below to donate the money via Paypal: you don’t even need a PayPal account! Via PayPal you can donate money using most major credit cards (PayPal will not disclose your credit card information to us) or from your PayPal account, if you have one.

I am sincerely grateful and thankful for the support of my regular readers.

Do you still remember the last Google pagerank update? It happened about three months ago in September 2008. I was hoping that Google will start the next Pagerank update in January 2009, but it looks Google has actually started Pagerank update a bit earlier

ThemeLib is a small six-months-old blog which was founded to be a source for bloggers by offering quality Blogger Templates, promoting beatiful WordPress Themes and publishing articles on Blogging Tips and Web Stuff related to blogging.

I have been working hard on building up this site and I guess I have done my job very well . ThemeLib was opened on June 2008, got PR0 in July 2008, got PR5 in September 2008, and ThemeLib is now Pagerank 6. This PR6 value is really the best gift for year 2008 from Google for me .

How about you? If you’ve seen any movement within your Pagerank let us all know so we can see if something bigger is going on!

Yesterday, I read an entry on DailyBlogTips about the update of Google Pagerank this month. Looks like Google is increase the frequency of the Pagerank updates because the last one happened about two months ago.

ThemeLib is doing well since it’s started 3 months ago. The technorati rank is about 15,000 , Alexa rank is almost close to 90,000 and now Google page rank is PR5 from PR0. I have been working hard on quality back links for this blog and was hoping a good Page rank update. Now I am happy with the update

Ah yes, if you want to get some backlinks from my blog, being in my Top Commentators is a good way
