For you bloggers out there- how to get more traffic

If you have a blog or if you’re thinking about starting one, whether in real estate or not, the tips here are really good. I’ve […]

I’m not trying to make this a weekly thing, but how about a little more Lost tonight? I’m going to give you another Lost Web site to check out. This site puts up screencaps from the show. I’m telling you, I missed a lot of this stuff while watching it because it just goes by […]

I came across this from Esquire magazine the other day. Apparently the world’s 22nd largest skyscraper was built in North Korea in the late 1980’s.

In the spirit of Christmas (it’s never too early for that, right?), I’m taking up BloggerNoob’s post challenge. I won’t kiss him… but I’ll give him a shout-out. Take a look. He’s a got a relatively new blog in the make money online mode. He’s also on my Featured Sites list to the right. I’d […]
