But I haven’t been a great finisher. This is the first idea I have started and stuck with for longer than a few months yeah understand that one. On a more personal note blogs like this have totally completely and radically transformed our lives, I often wish I had discovered blogs 20 years ago we wouldn't be moaning about why we waited so long to finally change things.

I can't figure out the POP mail thing--so I can't e-mail you directly. I just spent 20 minutes trying--computer challenged, I suppose. Please e-mail me. Thanks--and I am changing my life because of your blog! Blessings to you and yours.~Christine Hello Frugal Dad,
I have a wonderful idea you might like to include in a post. I can’t figure out the POP mail thing–so I can’t e-mail you directly. I just spent 20 minutes trying–computer challenged, I suppose. Please e-mail me. Thanks–and I am changing my life because of your blog! Blessings to you and yours.~Christine

Three pieces of advice for any new blogger: 1. Try to write something every day if you want your blog to grow, and grow quickly. 2. If you are treating your blog as a hobby, treat it as a hobby. If you are treating your blog as a business, treat it as a business. Crossing the two up rarely leads to much success. 3. Keep your head down and keep writing daily, guest posting occasionally, commenting on other blogs, etc. for the first six months. The PF blogging space is becoming more and more crowded, but many people drop out within the first 90 days. A lot of blogging success can be attributed to attrition--just keep writing while others hang it up. You will eventually float to the top! Best of luck! Feel free to drop me a line any time if I can help. That goes for all of you.
