I’m Being Ruthless

I’m Being Ruthless

I don’t know if it was the recent post by Mark at The Niche Store Builder (sorry, Mark, I’d put a link to the actual post but I can’t find it on your blog!) about cleaning house on your websites, if I’m just sick of having too much stuff as a result of dealing with the flood last year, or simply that I’m learning what...
Update on Daughter and Car

Update on Daughter and Car

Wow!  What a difference a week makes. When last I wrote, my daughter was horribly sick with Influenza A, and my car was broken.  I am happy to report that my daughter is doing much better.  We still need to be careful with her, as pneumonia is a possibility, but she is doing great. As to my car, well, that’s another story.  Turns out...

Technical Glitch (Site was Stuck on a Page) and A Medical Freakout

Thanks to the kindness of Otis, I was alerted to the fact that my site was stuck on my most recent post.  When the Home page was clicked, visitors were sent to a post page instead of the Home page. This is the second time this happened to me today, as this also occurred on one of my other sites, so I knew what to do.  But I figured I’d...

BANS Still Working for You?

I’m finally getting to a point where I can work on my sites again (hooray!).  I haven’t made a BANS site in months.  Probably close to a year, if I really think about it.  That got me to wondering if I am alone in this.   So, I’d love to hear from you.  Are you still making BANS sites?  Are you still making money from them?...

All of a Sudden, Things are Happening (Flood Update)

I am happy to announce that, after almost two months of nothing going on, things are happening all at once.  Or, at least, it seems that way.  We were held up for two months (very long story that I won’t bore you with, but has to do with permits for my city).  Finally, this has been resolved.  I even started painting today. The only...

Guest Blogger Wanted – Squidoo

Earlier today I was reading a post by Lionmom on her blog.  She wrote about how Squidoo has been a good method for bringing traffic to her niche stores.  This got me thinking about how I do not know how to use Squidoo, but I am aware it is a popular traffic-generating source. So, I am offering this invitation for a guest blogger (including...

It’s Time to Rein This Site Back In

It has now been two months since I wrote anything not related to my flood.  I never intended to turn this blog into a flood update site, but it worked well since it was the only form of communication I had following the flood.  I used it to keep readers up to speed, but also for my family and friends to know that we were ok and what we may have...

Flood Update

Last night I realized it has been almost two months since I did anything related to my niche stores.  Almost three weeks ago I thought I was ready to get back to it, but then found out there was a LOT more work for me to do at my house.  I have spent almost every day of the last three weeks working my butt off getting it cleaned.  I had no idea...

Hello, I’m a Mac

It’s official.  I’m now a Mac person.  One of the things that fell victim to Tropical Storm Fay was my custom Velocity Micro computer.  This week I replaced it with a Mac Pro.  There were a few things that convinced me to change (aside from a friend who is a Mac convert and will never look back to Windows):  The fact that I can...

Four Weeks After the Flood

I’ve gotten some email asking if I’m doing ok since I haven’t posted a flood update in a while. I’m ok. Somewhat overwhelmed at times, tired more often than not, but ok. ...
