    Well, this is gonna be a short post, but I decided that since most of you are, in some way, connected to Idaho in some way or another, I’d put it up. While giving blood, it is customary to squeeze a stress-relieving ball with the hand located at the end of the arm that is…

    Lately, I’ve been reading a lot about building an effective blog – and I’ve been realizing how right all that I’ve been reading is. It’s mostly stuff that I’ve mentioned before, things that help draw people to your blog. And really, the key is specialization.
