We are people who love to talk about ourselves, our lives, everybody wants to shine, and have their five minutes of fame. Blogging is an attractive, and easy way for this to happen, but it doesn’t happen overnight, and for some this is disheartening and they give up.

Being a true – A-list or even B-list blogger takes a lot of work and dedication. As I restart and relaunch this blog, my goal is to not focus so much on the ‘look here, look at me, see what I can do’ mentality, as much as I am going to focus on real nuts and bolts tips to making money online, running a successful blog, I’m also going to throw in some cool gadgets, and social media happenings that I come across – you might even find some really good info about Green Technology and businesses, as I am really a big watcher of that industry, as it scares me to think what our future entails if we don’t embrace Green. Will our children hate us and ask us: “Why were they so stupid and Naive for continuing to pollute when they had alternatives?”…

One post I read relating to the ‘me me’ attitude of bloggers, who get a little bit of attention, and think they are big stuff, can be found here: The Blogstar Delusion: We’re Not As Famous As We Think We Are.

Also – I’ve added a new theme/redesign that I haven’t used previously please let me know what you think.

Also also – I do apologize I’ve lost the mysql backups for the previous blog posts that I’ve written 6months to a year ago, but I assure you the next year here, will have way better content, as I’ve learned a lot in a year, managing my other blogs, and www.blogcontestsite.com
