The Future of This Site

The Future of This Site

Last night, as I tried to fall asleep but couldn’t, I thought about this site.  I thought about why I started it and what I’m doing with it now.  I also thought about what I should do with it in the future. The original purpose of this site was to provide instructions on how to do various things to Build A Niche Store sites (aka...
1-1-11: Happy New Year!

1-1-11: Happy New Year!

Here I am, in the first day of 2011, and I have been inspired to create a list of goals.  My inspiration came from Mark’s post about his goals and how he did in 2010, which you can see at his blog, The Niche Store Builder.  If any of my goals look similar (or the same as) Mark’s, it is because I fully admit upfront that I borrowed...
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All!

As unbelievable as it may seem (to me, anyway), Christmas is right around the corner.  Right about now you might be busy preparing your Christmas meal, buying and/or wrapping some last minute gifts, or simply sitting back and relaxing, if you are lucky enough to have time off right about now. My plans for today are to bake cookies with my...
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

It is that time of year for us in the US to give thanks to all the blessings we have in our lives.  I have much to be thankful for, and look forward to sharing my thanks with friends and family tomorrow. Even if you do not live in the US, I urge you to take a moment tomorrow (Thursday) and verbalize at least one thing that you are thankful for,...
To All Veterans: Thank You!

To All Veterans: Thank You!

Today is Veteran’s Day in the United States, a day when we remember and honor those who have been or still are, members of our military.  Earlier today my daughters and I were talking about what today is.  We clarified what a Veteran is, and I explained how they are people who choose to risk their lives to protect each and every one of...
Remember to Backup Your Database!

Remember to Backup Your Database!

Earlier today I decided it was time to upgrade the version of WordPress on this site from a really old version to v3.0.1.  But, before I upgraded WordPress, I decided to upgrade the plugins first.  Turns out upgrading the plugins broke my site. Fortunately, I had backed up the database to this site before I did anything.  Phew! All I needed to...
Feeling a Bit Lost…

Feeling a Bit Lost…

This post is completely off-topic for this site, and is actually a continuation of a conversation between Yael and myself on the Halloween Super Affiliate forum.  It was the wrong place to discuss “Lost” so I am moving the conversation here. If you are also a “Lost” fan, feel free to join in.  Otherwise, just ignore this...
Don’t Let Your Browser Get Tabnapped

Don’t Let Your Browser Get Tabnapped

Tabnapping.  Ever heard of it?  I hadn’t until this morning, when my mom so kindly forwarded an email to me about it.  I’m willing to be most of you haven’t heard of it, either.  So, I decided to write a post about this potential danger. Chances are, you have all heard of phishing sites.  They are fraudulent sites that...
Blog Commenting – How Bad Can It Get?

Blog Commenting – How Bad Can It Get?

Tyler at Niche Store Journey recently wrote “Driving Traffic Using Blog Commenting.”  He did a great job of explaining how to use blog commenting to get backlinks. As explained by Tyler, there is a right way and a wrong way to leave comments on blogs.  Do it right, and you will be rewarded with the ever-coveted backlink.  Do it...
A Few Tidbits

A Few Tidbits

Wow.  It’s been a while since I’ve posted!  In my absence, it seems that gremlins took over my site and caused a few errors with my theme.  I had to reupload the theme to get it working again.  So, if you visited and noticed that the Home page didn’t look quite right, that is why. There are a few things I want to update you...
