I thought it was great and pleasant to the eyes, an easy read. But, that is your baby, and you can dress it anyway you want!!! LOL

I am switching from www.gloomybloomy.com to another niche where I can sell some things. I can not get passionate about houseplants. I will keep the radical site.

I honestly believe you! I have tried so many things that did not pan out, or they did not even give me the drive of pushing forward til it hurts a bit, like I now. This is all I can think about because of all the reading, and watching real people actually get their site up. Makes me want to push harder! Smiling, wheels are clicking...
thank you Mikegg! I really appreciated the goal idea, and I am trying right now to stick to my daily, but I am going for weekly, monthly, and then yearly. It makes sense and feels good when you actually complete your/mine goals!
thank you!

AAWW, I was really excited for you, so I will tell you something, I wanted to show anybody in my house how far I have come, just the site and plugs, no verbage yet, and my husband goes so once they get there, how do you get paid? I looked at him and said I don't remember.....LOL, I couldn't believe I was that lost in creating the page I forgot why...thank you for your honesty, I feel like this day is done for me. I have been super hyper and excited just to be here and meet people like you! Blessings and it will come!
I am too!

@okydoky... I checked out your site. I've never heard of Wordle. But man it's seems very intertesting! :-)...as far as the looks of your site...it needs to be a bit more lively, looks a little bland, I guess it may be the color, or the font or something. But overall it is an interesting site! Much success to you!

Hello Terrika,
Thanks for your input. I hope you can find a use for Wordle.
I tested the colours out on my site and thought that was easier to look at than most colours.
I've just changed the colour to red. Does that look any better?
I think the site will defitinitely look better with more posts and more in the sidebars.
I liked the previous colour better but I will experiment with it a bit more over time.
I've just been comparing fonts on other sites and I find that some of the major sites much have worse fonts than my site does. I'll investigate it further at another time.
I've just changed the background colour again to a yellow. I'll see how that goes.
Thanks again for your input.

Haven't read that yet, too excited reading the other one on Joel. but got me thinking, and I am going to read it. I also noticed I am no writer and that worries me, but I'll think about that tomorrow...I want to see yours up there too, now and I will,
Back later to report...LOL

Julie, I started my original blog in May but I've taken it down to build something better. When I started that blog I didn't think that I could write either. I found out that I was better than I thought I was. In my younger days, I was absolutely useless at writing at school but now, even though I'm nowhere near perfect, I tend to write reasonably alright and am improving all the time. The trick is to just start typing. You will make spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes but you will find and correct most of them when you've checked your post over several times.

After I write a post I always check it over and over until I see no mistakes that need correcting. It usually takes several goes. Once I can no longer see any mistakes I post it. If I see a mistake after I post it then I correct it.

Whether you do that or not is up to you. I try to be a perfectionist, although I still have mistakes in posts after posting.

If you want to get your post out quickly, just post it as soon as you've finished and correct any mistakes as you find them.

When you start, a post may take you half a day to write but you become faster and more accurate over time and you will end up doing some posts in less than an hour.

A lot of gurus say we should create posts of around 500 words but I read where one guru said that he creates regular posts of around 250 words and then writes the occasional longer post when he has more time.

First I love the word Wordle.....I also love what it does, and just may use it in one of my blogs, its cool looking I think, a lot of people are doing that with pictures, so why not words? Can you put a word cloud up in that header...that would look better I think like the one below..Yah, I really like it! That is my 2 cents....
Off to Fisher or Catcher....
Cheers, Ian and appreciate your comments and just you!

I think you got it Ian! Much nicer looking, love the color, and the heading, I personally really love it now! Any idea how happy I would be if I could do something in six minutes on here just once....very! Anywho, I am going to use that Wordle some how, and I am thinking I already know.....lightbulb...love it! Great!!!! You are such an inspiration!!
Thank you for that new idea!! Love the blog!
