Where Are All The Generous People?
A few days ago, I asked readers to help me raise money for the Union Gospel Mission Easter meal drive. The response so far haven’t came close to matching the Thanksgiving or Christmas drives I did last year. I realized that people are in a more giving mood during Thanksgiving and Christmas but people go hungry everyday, not just on holidays.
To give you a bigger incentive to help, I will now match you donations at 2 to 1. You donate $1, I’ll give $2. That’s 200% return on your money! Simply make a donation at UGM’s online donation page, then email me a copy of the email receipt. Remember, whatever you’re donating, I’ll double it!
All readers making donations will be recognized in a blog post on Monday. If you have a website or blog, I will link to it. The meals and other services we provide can be the start of a new life and new beginning for those in need.
The true measure of success is not how much you make, but how much you give.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...
