I am blogging to provide information I think is important about maintaining our fitness as we age - our health is our most valuable possession! Monetization will happen I hope...but it's not my focus. Fran Hi Michael,
I’m enjoying reading your 7 keys - actually
found you on Dosh today and going back to
read the first ones.

I am blogging to provide information I think
is important about maintaining our fitness as
we age - our health is our most valuable possession!

Monetization will happen I hope…but it’s
not my focus.

Fran

And for helping me reinforce the very point about remarkable content. Without that, you likely wouldn't have commented, and you certainly wouldn't have subscribed. Nice blog, by the way. I dig the theme and your tagline is awesome. @Brown Baron,

It's my own design based on the Sandbox theme, which starts out as structure-only, pretty generic, and you add to it or change it. It's a themer's theme, in other words. I'm guessing you want to remove the sponsor's ad that's on your sponsored theme. You probably have to edit the sidebar.php file to do that. @CatherineL,

I found you on problogger, as you mentioned you make wordpress themes. I'm really struggling with trying to edit mine, so I'm hoping to find some good info on your blog. You mention a lot of blogs being on the Internet that have just been abandoned. What percentage of blogs do you reckon are just not active at all? I bet it's high. I started blogging in early 2006, because I like writing, and do it every day anyway. Then this year I moved my free blogger business blog to attach to a new website, and also started a business blog, which I attached to my plumbing website. Great wordpress design by the way. I like the way you have the two columns together on the right. Hi Michael - Great post. I found you on problogger, as you mentioned you make wordpress themes.
