It’s Starting To Look A Lot Like Christmas
It’s really starting to look a lot like Christmas out my window today.
I Like Black Text On A White Background
I Like Black Text On A White Background. Maybe it’s because I’m old and can’t see as well as I used to or maybe not. The thinking of many webpage designers is the look of the entire page. I’ll agree when looking at a screenshot of a page my eye goes to the entire page. […]
Quick WordPress Tip
WordPress has a feature that you might like.

Making Money With A Web Based Business
Making money with a web based information business these days is much different than doing business used to be. There used to be many distribution costs associated with doing business with information as your product, printing, storing, shipping. Not anymore.

FTC Guidelines And My New Disclaimer
I’m sure by now you’ve probably seen that the FTC has set new guidelines for bloggers. I’ve been reading comments on both the pro and con side of the issue.
