You'll find it interesting that the default category with Wordpress is uncategorized. Wha? I obviously obliterated that one forever ... and replaced it with miscellaneous. Just kidding - wonder what they were thinking?

Frank - Just be specific with what you want - set the ground rules. And do it on a quiet week because it takes time to comment on all the designs. I had over 200 to work with! jeff

Thanks Hillary - The inspiration was from a business deal that went bad and was aired out on the social networks. The mistake was the firm never should have taken the client in the first place - which happened to be Facebook. Have a great weekend. Jeff

Shannon - Your blog is not about you, but the perspective you have that is valuable to a community. Try this - take a sheet of paper and write down the characteristics of your ideal audience. Then write to that. Help them in whatever ways you can - with solutions to problems, inspiration, etc. Remember that if one person in that audience is helped by your blog, there are probably many more too that you many never even know of because they share similar qualities - needs and aspirations.

I was having similar thoughts as I respond to the many comments I've received this week. How often though do you get no response? I know I do a lot, which is why I try to reach out to as many that have made the effort to say hello. Thanks for doing so! Jeff
