Over on eMoms at Home, Dawud Miracle wrote a post called Knowing When To Slow Down. In it, he says, “Freedom, which I mostly define as a flexible schedule, is my main reason for being self-employed.” But he goes on to say “What I’ve come to realize over the years is that being self-employed has given far more little opportunities for freedom then it does large ones.”

The WordPress admin is fairly vulnerable to hackers. Hackers know where the admin is; they know the username for the admin is usually “admin”, so that only leaves one problem – the password. For a hacker, that’s not a really big problem. Just run a brute force attack and in a matter of time, there’s a good chance of figuring out the password and logging in. What comes...

I’m intrigued. Jim Kukral, a man I have a lot of respect for, has a new site that he’ll be launching any moment now called ScratchBack.com. There’s no information about what it will be, but he does show a really funny video of a dog scratching his back. Now, knowing Jim, that’s just a marketing technique to get our attention, and of course, as with most things Jim does,...

Are you thinking about following my plan to make a living from home in your pajamas? Are you already working towards that goal? If so, then I suggest you sign up for a Fantasy Football league now (before the football season begins). Go ahead and ask me why. It’s a legitimate question. Go ahead and tell me you either don’t know anything about playing Fantasy Football or you don’t even...

Many people, when attempting to make a living online, will concentrate on one idea and one site only, and that’s ok for them. But some people are what I call “idea people”, and I happen to be one of those kinds. Ideas spring forth like weeds from my brain, and while I don’t act upon every single one, I do tend to act upon at least a dozen or so each year. Some are really bad...

Adding a music clip to your audio or video project can make that project stand out and be noticed. You need to be aware though, that you can’t simply grab a clip of your favorite Top 40 song and use it on your latest Youtube video. Why? Because that’s illegal. Short and sweet. So what can you do?
Music and lyrics published before 1922 are in the public domain, but sound recordings of any...

Lately, I’ve seen quite a lot of sites (usually blogs) put gray text on a black background. Tonight, I noticed it from StumbleUpon (a site I love, btw), and was just dismayed. (Yes, the screenshot above is from something SU wants me to know). Stop it, people! Just stop it. I don’t care how uber-cool it might be, it just plain sucks for readability. Show off your dark side in some other...
