Better Alexa Rank In Just Days
In the Race to Rank series I reported last month that my Alexa rank was at 166,686.
My goal is to reach below 80,000 by February 2009. At the rate I have watched my Alexa rank decrease (remember, lower is better), I figured that this type of goal was not only obtainable but I could easily do better.

If you’ve ever had to write for a deadline, chances are, you’ve experienced writers block.

What’s Your Reason to Blog?
All right, I admit it, I’m fascinated with blogging. Suddenly, anyone that chooses to use their voice has a place to stand up and be seen by simply creating a blog and talking. Each day, new blogs spring up out of no where and it won’t be long before you discover that new blog.
But with the idea of blogging, there comes one simple question that must be asked? “who are you blogging for?”
