So, yes, I gave up blogging.  I do feel, however, that I need to either blog or change the format of the site.
Lately I have been spending more of my time volunteering than I have in recent years.  This has brought me much happiness and I have met a lot of great people.
So what should I do?  Attempt blogging yet again or change the format of the site?  And if I change the format of the site, what do I change it to?
Decisions, decisions.

Beginning in February I’ll be starting a side project.  It’ll be something that I’ll be doing just for fun and will provide more information later.  Right now I need to increase my fan base and there’s no easier way to do that than to give away free stuff, right?
I’m giving away Starbucks gift cards to random followers on DailyBooth, Facebook & Twitter.  All you have to do is follow me on those sites and you’re entered to win.  On Monday January 24, 2011 I’ll select two people from each network and mail them a gift card.
Be sure to follow me on each network to increase your chances to win!!

After several failed attempts to get into blogging, I’ve decided that it’s just not for me and I will be giving up the blog format for the site come the new year.
I’m not a blogger.  I feel like I’m standing at a podium, forcing my words upon you.  That’s not me.  Oh, don’t get me wrong.  I like talking.  Ask my friends.  They can’t shut me up.  But I’d rather engage in discussions, debates, chats.  I enjoy networking and blogs, to me, are not good for that.
I’d rather spend my time on discussion forums.  Online communities.  Someplace where I can be more interactive with my fellow members.
I do want to thank everyone for taking the time to help me tweak all my WordPress settings.  Blogging and WordPress are powerful tools and anyone interested in blogging should give it (WordPress) a try.  You won’t be disappointed.
So where will I focus my …

About 24 hours ago, Internet Brands (IB), the owner of the popular forum software vBulletin, created a post on their company’s forum announcing that they are commencing a lawsuit against Xenforo, a new forum software company, and its founders.  Internet Brands says,
The suit is simple: we claim that Kier, Mike, and Ashley have infringed and violated contracts they signed with us to gain unfair business advantage. As such, Xenforo’s software unfairly stands on the shoulders of more than a decade of development by Jelsoft. Internet Brands owns this intellectual property.
What are you really afraid of IB?  Are you afraid of the success of the Kier, Mike and Ashley?  Are you afraid that they will build a product superior to yours?
Are you afraid that you will lose customers to Xenforo?  Well, you should be.  This action is childish.  You’re running to tell on them, saying that they aren’t playing nice.  Yes, …
