Around here, there are many challenges that people take on.Early on in my IM career there were 2 30 day clubs that stick out in my mind. Another challenge followed these clubs up but was more of an incentive program.The first has been folded into the 30 in 30 start-up challenge that is available to all when they sign up at Wealthy Affiliate University.The second was hosted by Marcus and was essentially the first one targeted to promoting WA.The third challenge was the 30 articles in 30 days.

( I wonder where that came from). Remo

If you have been watching the News recently you have probably seen a blurb on the DNS Changer Malware. This is a sleeper of a nasty bit of malware that may cause problems on Monday 7/9/2012.It seems that Google, Yahoo and assorted Government agencies (FBI) have been aware of this malicious code for quite a while and have provided (completely in the background) a way for it not to effect the users of the Internet.What this will do if you are infected is to deny you service to the Internet.This i

Where do you get your Themes.In my travels today I ran across a post over at WPMU.orgA fairly trusted site in my opinion (of course I may have been snowed)There was a post on the security of free themes. Are they everything they are cracked up to be and what are your really loading when you grab a free theme.Well I'll tell you I learned a bit about security. The author checked his themes using TAC. I had no idea what that was so after Googling and sorting the results I finally found that

While bouncing around on You Tube for a bit today. ( Thanks Daniel and Jay)I came across a videographer that posted an interesting challenge.He was videoing people in a country where he didn't speak the language. A group of videographers were all there and none could make the connection with their subjectsHere's his solution.http://youtu.be/o8Y8kWf4dmQThis can work just as well for your websites as it did for him.Make a connection with your audience and they will participate.This may tak

One of my favorite authors has passed into the great beyond. Yet another great person that did not go to college. Well not formally, instead he squirreled himself away in of all things a library. And read for the better part of 10 years. He stated he didn't graduate from college, he graduated from the library. RIP Ray Bradbury.He advocated writing spontaneously, frequently, and with passion, reiterating the necessity of loving your craft.Notable quotes from Mr. Bradbury."There is no future f
