What about videos?
Posted by: | CommentsI think making videos for daily common sense would be the best thing to do to bring the site to the next level. I know you guys who read the blog “daily” (not so daily because I don’t post daily) aren’t big commentators, but what do you guys think?
I think videos are so much more appropriate for this type of blog…Let me know!
200,000 already!
Posted by: | CommentsWow, this really is incredible and I’m proud to announce that Daily Common Sense is already reaching 200,000 visits for this year. I launched the blog in January this year and didn’t expect to have so many visitors at the end of my first year.
I would like to thank every single one of you for taking part in discussions and making DCS a success. Now I know the blog isn’t updated regularly, but trust me guys I’m on it. It’s not that I’m not working on the website, it’s more that I’m working on things we don’t see. I see great potential for DCS and I am currently figuring out what would help it grow bigger and also how I could interact with you guys more easily.
If you have any suggestions or anything that could improve the future of this blog, please let me know! The blog is only sleeping a little bit…
Launching Daily Common Sense Forum!
Posted by: | CommentsI’m proud to announce that Daily Common Sense now has its own forum! I added a link in the navigation bar for the forum section, but you can reach it at the following address: Daily Common Sense Forum.
I must admit I mainly created the forum because of 2012 Explained, which at the time of writing has 735 comments! It really is a pain to load the article now because of all the comments in there and I’m slowly moving things to a forum instead. I’m not closing the comments yet but there will surely be a time where it won’t be possible to post a comment in that specific article. I receive thousands of first time visitors to that single article every week and I think it’s a pain for a first time visitor to load that page. A total turn off.
So there you go, continue to comment in here I really appreciate it, but the forum is a good way to exchange with others and also to reach me! 
Enjoy!
Woah, what’s that new look?
Posted by: | CommentsFeeling a little lost? Where’s your old daily common sense? It’s gone! I felt like it was time for a change and I was really sick of the old theme, so I changed it. I don’t know if you guys like it better, but I certainly do. It’s much more lightweight and clean and I’m giving more space to what’s really important: the content.
I also changed the logo a little bit as you can see, so it can fit with the new look. It’s much more sober and elegant and it’s a little something I could easily put on a t-shirt…hint, hint.
One new feature I really like is that this new theme now supports “Gravatar”. What the hell is Gravatar? You will notice in the comment section that next to your name a picture will appear. If you don’t have a gravatar account, the default gray picture will appear. If you want a custom picture to show on the page, simply head to Gravatar and upload your own! This little image will not only be valid for my blog, but also for every other blog you comment on that has this feature enabled! Isn’t great? Yep, I know.
OK, I won’t write a 3 pages post about the new look of the website, you’ll discover it on your own. There might be some issues with it so feel free to comment if you are having some difficulties! Time to go to bed now, I’ve worked on this little thing all night…
Daily Common Sense goes with a full RSS feed
Posted by: | CommentsI decided today to go with a full RSS feed and full articles on the first page. I initially thought it was cleaner to only post part of the articles on the first page but it has the nasty consequence of generating an incomplete RSS feed. I read a lot of blogs and realized how painful it is to actually have to visit the website to read the complete post, so I usually unsubscribe.
Unfortunately, I think the older posts will remain uncomplete in the Feedburner feed. So from now on, you will be able to enjoy Daily Common Sense from your email inbox without having to visit the website! But remember, you are more than welcome to comment!
What the hell happened with web bot today?
Posted by: | CommentsWas there a show on tv today or something about the web bots? I received a sudden rush of traffic to my article about the web bots, which you can find over here. I don’t see any problems with that as I’m always open to get more traffic, but I’m wondering where the hype is comming from. If you guys have any clues, please let me know. Oh by the way, if you haven’t read the article, it’s a good read!
DCS TOP 5 - 3 months later
Posted by: | Comments
It’s been three months already and Daily Common Sense is in good shape. I have good readers, constant traffic to the blog and I think it’s time for a top 5 of my best articles. These are not the best ones according to me, but the best ones according to you. This means I’ve taken my articles with the most comments and reactions and made this list.
- 2012 Explained: Why it shouldn’t be feared
- What is that pole shift thing?
- MIT engineer Jeff King says 9/11 official theory is impossible
- Planet X Explained: Why it doesn’t matter that much
- 2012 Logo Campaign - Help fight 2012!
We can clearly get something out of this list. These are all informative posts related to the 2012 theory, except for the 9/11 story. It’s kind of normal because these are all linked between each other. My 2012 Logo campaign, even if released yesterday is already showing a solid 16 comments and I think it will grow in number so I’ve given it the 5th place. This list is mainly for my new readers not necessarily aware of my older posts, so enjoy!

Some particularities of conspiracy comments
Posted by: Ben Tremblay | Comments (7)Daily Common Sense is a well established blog in its field and I published a lot of articles to debunk scams/hoax and conspiracy theories. For that reason, you can imagine I receive hate comments from conspiracists on a daily basis. I must say conspiracists/doomsdayers just confirm how crazy they are for most of them when they comment on blogs. I mean, it’s simply crazy and here’s why. Read More→
