How to Pimp Your Blog
Why are some blogs popular and others not? Obviously, the best thing any blogger can do to make their blog a success is to write excellent posts consistently.

You ARE home
Here’s a scene from “Almost Famous” that occurs smack dab in the middle of the movie. To me, it’s one of my favorite movie moments ever. It is not only fun to watch but there are some wonderful nuggets of wisdom enfused in the scene. It’s amazing that there can be such life lessons crammed…
