Fighting the Tide of Crisis

As economies fall and the US battles a gloomy economic climate, it is even more important that we stand strong and resilient.

I for one am very thankful that I am still employed and not on the dole. I am happy to have my family and friends with me. Even if my job is not the most satisfying in the world and I have to overcome the challenges each day in my thankless work, I am still very glad.

We can look on life as a struggle or as a challenge. Being content and appreciative of the small blessings of life will help one pull through the tough times.

Remember, bad times will not deflate a person. Only if you are deflated internally are you truly down and out!

Crappy Blogs Have The Best Designs

Yeh, I think the most crappy blogs are not the ones with simple designs - I think it is shallow to just look at the blog designs since most of us aren't artists or designers anyway.

The really crap ones are those with the most beautiful and stylish designs but with content which is just misleading - with empty promises of riches beyond.

These money-grabbers hide behind beautiful designs and secret coding and drain the riches from others.

Don't be shallow - you don't need a fantastic blog design to be a goody and likewise, you can have a design masterpiece and be a crapper!
