There is a lot of balancing necessary in blogging.
Creating content takes time.
Creating links takes time.
Add in product creation and it can often be overwhelming at times.
Finding a balance can be really tough. Right now I am knee deep into working on some things that have really put a time crunch on me.
Finding that balance has been tough. One of the things that will be happening is less posts here. It will be an interesting test though.
Will be tracking results and see what cutting back a post or two a week will do to the traffic flow here. Look for more information on those results in the future.
So the number of posts may be less over the next month this will allow me to add (hopefully) more quality to those that do get added.
So put yourself on record here. Will this drop the traffic, increase the traffic or be a wash? Leave your comment below.

Considering opening a new service for my readers and customers and figured it is always better to ask first before laying the groundwork for it. Have learned this the hard way more than once so I would appreciate your input in the polls below.
Would you be interested in a blog professionally set up for you in the niche of your choice? If so I have a poll you can help me with.
Have looked at quite a few places now offering blogs for sale that are inclusive some with content and some without.
Would you be interested in this type of service?
What services would you like to be included. Check all that apply only if you answered yes above.
Finally what is the maximum you would pay for this type of service.
If you would be interested and want something that is not included in the poll please leave a comment below.
As always you can ask any questions about WordPress and blogging to be answered in the future here by leaving a comment.

It is time again for me to start getting your input. Every so often I like to run a poll or two to allow me to improve the way in which I am helping you. So here are a couple of surveys where you can help me to understand what would help you the most. Greatly appreciate you adding your input to them.
The first covers topics and the second covers how you prefer your information. In each of the polls you can vote for more than one answer. If you choose other please fill in exactly what you would like in the text box.
One of the biggest questions that comes up here is how to generate more traffic to someone’s blog? To help people with that Steve and I will be doing a call on SEO For Your WordPress Blog. Proper set up and SEO are one of the best ways to increase your traffic.
We will answer these questions -
What plugins are absolutely necessary?
What settings make a difference?
What types of posts will help me the most?
How often should I post?
What are tags and how do they help?
What linking strategies work the best?
Why is MyBlogLog a must use site?
How can RSS feeds help my SEO?
And even more because you will be able to ask any question you have on this topic too?
You can get access to this call for free on September 23rd at 7 pm.
First a great big thank you to all that have voted or commented on the previous poll. That has been interesting to see the results. Now I am splitting each of the three topics into sub topics and would appreciate you picking the item in each section that would most help you.
Just as an FYI Content Creation is the current leader but tweaking your blog is a close second.
Here is the first subset on content creation. Pick the one topic that would most help you.
Tweaking your blog is next pick the one that will help you most.
Finally the set up of your blog.
Thanks again for your participation and comments are welcomed.
One of the things I like to do is to ask for your input. Please take a minute to let me know which item is your most pressing. Feel free to leave a comment to clarify your question.
I will be opening some type of coaching shortly but as I am trying to put it together a question came up in my mind so being the simple old bald guy that I am I figured the easiest way to get an answer is to ask. See old age has advantages sometimes even I get smarter .
Amazing concept I know.
I have considered following the pattern I did with WordPress Lessons and doing a series of 4, 5 or 6 lessons to go through using blogs profitably as a single package that runs consecutively at a single price or doing a monthly or bi-weekly lesson that will continue indefinitely with past lessons archived.
As WordPress keeps evolving my gut tells me that a continuing series would be more valuable but my gut has been wrong often enough for me to ask first. Please take the poll below and let me know what fits YOU best.
Thanks for your input.
On another note I have added a WordPress Resource page. Let me know what you think of it.
One of the things that I would like to know to help me provide better content for you the reader is the answer to various questions.
Today the question is have you upgraded your blog to the newest version 2.06 and did you do it right away?
You can vote at the Squidoo lens for Word Press Made Easy. Also feel free to leave your comments here if you don’t see a category that fits your case so I can improve the poll.
You can also leave a comment with any topic you would like to see addressed here.
