My first post has been published on my new website. It is a very long post, but I hope my readers will bear with me. The idea for this post was given to me by a discussion I was having with one of my followers, and I ultimately wrote a very long post about it. [...]

The website for the new blog is officially launched. It will be running up here. It is very empty, at the moment, but this is how it will ultimately look once I start putting posts there. The menu still needs to be customized however, which I intend to do as soon as I manage to [...]

There are so many articles like the above on [...]

Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all. ~William Shakespeare, Henry VI I am subscribed to a forum where marketing issues are brought up and discussed.
