Lately, there has been a lot of talk about the rampant obesity of Mississippi.

The Offended Blooger, Chelle B., is not only offended but also offensive; but in a funny way though.  She talks about how she has submitted her blog for a review but she doesn't care at all about the results.  At least that's what she would have us think.  There are a number of pictures of people who criticize

At least in the eyes of other people. Our families and friends think we have lost a screw or two somewhere in the center of our head.

Many times people ask me what do I do online - and yes, this has never been an easy question to answer - I try my mightiest to explain it all in

You might not be interested in succeeding with social media.

Boosting traffic, being bookmarked, getting new visitors, increasing RSS subscribers and AdSense revenues might all conflict with your blog’s growth plan. If you prefer to stay away from this hype and grow organically, follow this procedure that I named: The Bonsai Blogging Stra

Do you watch the news? Why?

Every once in a while, I have the misfortune of seeing a bit of the “News.” Every time I do, I think, “It’s no wonder people think the world is coming to an end.” That’s what’s presented on the News.
