@Snow – thanks for the continued support and input. You are absolutely correct. When I first did that design, my emphasis was different. Now, as I go into this and reconsider the site, I need to take off most if not all of the ads, focus the attention on what I have to offer, and make the blog entries more like news and articles.

@A – Thanks! It is indeed good – though a bit disconcerting. I haven’t felt it in quite a while.

Mike, I checked out your site, Palmettobug.com (hey, you asked us to!) — one suggestion, if I might. I would put your “about” page on your home page — it has a lot of great information about what you are trying to achieve and what you do — I think that is the most important point you would want to get across at a surfer’s first glance.

Just my humble opinion, sir. Rock on.

You know I don’t twitter… well, I tried (again) a couple of days ago to be part of the mainstream, but it didn’t still work for me, so I deleted my account. Just a rebel, I guess.

About leaving your job — I did the same thing about 2-1/2 years ago (spent 25 years as a fraud investigator for a large insurance company, loved the job, but corporate politics forced my hand, so I quit…), I was scared shitless at the time, but with much support from my family, I now realize what a blessing it has been. There have been some major adjustments along the way, but I think I am a much better person now overall. I’m not living in two separate worlds any more… just one. It’s very grounding.

@Heather – Thanks!

@jacqueline – Excellent! I appreciate the encouragement and wish you all the continued best.

@Snow – I am sure it had a lot to do with you! You are a great example. And yes, of course I will be your go-to guy. Just send me an email, post a twitter, or give me a call. And I can do Google Checkout or PayPal, so feel free to charge away.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the self-employed! I’d like to think my many words of wisdom pushed you over the edge, but I have a feeling you were already committed to jumping off the cliff some time ago. So, I guess what you are saying… if any of us have questions about our screwed up computers, you are our “go-to” guy. Let’s get this out of the way now — how much do you charge and do you accept credit cards?

Seriously, good luck and I hope you don’t forget us when your rich and famous.
