Yes, and I love it! I use it on my PC, Droid phone and iPad. Priceless!

I can't say what paydotcom is like these days. I used them several years ago and was not thrilled. I would follow Clay's suggestion to use ejunkie. I've recently started using them and it's very...

I don't create content every day on my blog and it's very successful. I create content when I have something valuable to say. Sometimes that's every day and sometimes that's once a week.

I've used plenty of free wordpress themes in the past for my sites. There are a ton of them out there that are very nice looking. Just pick one and get started.

The key is to just start. Don't spin your wheels trying to make a permanent decision at this point. Pick a theme that is "good enough" and get started. The beauty of wordpress is that...

If you're looking for forums where people just post ads, don't waste your time. The only thing people do there is -- well -- post ads. Nobody every goes there to read and act on the ads that are...

Very well said and so true.

Well, you'll have to make your own decision about it Tom, but I certainly wouldn't sell a link on the home page of any of my websites for that.

Tom -- I didn't realize you were responding to an email request. Please be aware that there are many companies sending out mass emails to site owners these days with no real intent. Don't be...

Thanks Lynette. When I think about the "what ifs" it really makes me sick to my stomach. Glad the universe was looking out for me. :)

That was a good education Bob. :) Hope that cart works out for you!

Thanks for that link Lynette. I can guarantee it wasn't a phishing attack. I don't respond to those emails, always go direct to any website. I am convinced it was a hack and my password put me at...

All good points Rick. Interesting that you bring up 12 character passwords. Just this past week the Georgia Institute of Technology published a report on that same issue saying they are much tougher...

I've been researching this too. I used to have a shopping cart and then abandoned it as the costs just got way too outrageous. There are a lot of options out there. I have website payments...

Last week I was hit with credit card fraud online. It turned out OK for me, but was a good lesson learned. Always remember your first line of defense online is a good password. Here's my story --...

Now you can take a breath Kathleen. :)
