I think most people are inclined to be kind than are not, and your experiences certainly prove the point.

It's as if you read my mind and wrote this blog post! To some extent, style over substance seems to be the rule of the day. I see a lot of pretty websites with "oh wow" effects, but the content seemingly out of place. I was an antique era mainframe applications designer when all we had was a computer screen that displayed 23 lines by 80 character text based content. All the snazzy web technology in the world won't make you a dime if the words don't answer the visitor's reasons for showing up. How right you are.

LOL I know i get so many windows opening that my computer just stops working, and i have to start shutting everything down. What works well is a to do list and a black book which i put all of my ideas into, so for instance, if I want to visit another website rather than visiting it i will write down the URL in the black book and go back to it later. I am reminding myself of this as I talk to you.

I do have a virtual assistant who posts the blogposts for me which does save me time. If you are already writing in your journal, than you are miles ahead of everyone else. Good for you.

I know this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask. Does operating a well-established website such as yours take a large amount of work? I'm completely new to running a blog but I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou! Hi! I know this is kind of off-topic however

I think we have all become afflicted with ADHD because there is SO much information in front of us! I'll start working on a simple project and before you know it, I have 17 "windows" open and can't remember what I was doing. Being the daughter of a parent who suffered from dementia, that is VERY disturbing. The only thing that works for me is a timer and the rule that I may not have more than 4 windows open at a time. :) Shelley Bright shiny objects are a big problem to me too.
