This morning I was browsing some websites, mainly in the IM and Tech niches, looking for some things to purchase. That's right, I had a fist full of cash and the desire to spend it. I was the perfect customer. So why was it that I spent about half an hour browsing sites and one by one clicking off them, probably never to return?

There's a lot of new WA members over the past couple of days (including me!) and a lot seem to not know much about Wordpress or websites in general.
