@dbstraight - Thank you for the post idea! I did a huge brainstorming session a while ago and I'll be typing up your post tonight - should be posted up tomorrow or Saturday. I'm breaking up your topic into three seperate posts - one about choosing skills to master, one about the actual success rate, and one about the reasons for choosing to master (a) skill(s).
@Jarrod - This has been on my mind for a while now; there are a couple of layouts I really like but 1) I have no editing skills and 2) I can't afford to get a brilliantly designed layout like I want.
What I have now is pretty effective and it works, but since you're not the first person to suggest this to me, I'll look into tweaking it to make it stand out and become less default-like, or I'll just find and use a better layout.
@The Large Dude Scam - I use Dreamhost, so it comes out to $119 a year. I also host some other sites there as well (since you can host multiple domains). $119/year really isn't that big of a deal to me since it's just a one-time thing per year and it's over. I'm more concerned with love dollars from my blog... even if they barely, barely cover one Starbucks trip.
@Bruce Achterberg - Thank you!
