Several years ago I would have answered this question differently than I do today. That is because 1) styles have changed and 2) technologies have improved. Yesterday, I wrote an article about the best brands of water based polyurethane. In there, I not only share the top 3 brands to you (if yo

Of course. I think it happens to all of us. And, it just happened to me today. So, I was hot and tired...yes, today it's been so humid. So, I just couldn't wait to jump into the pool. So, that's all I could think about it. (And, BTW, the pool felt really nice!). I wanted to get this quick ar

So I need to get back to growing more organic traffic on my blog. So far, I'm doing pretty well...this month will be a record for me with 300,000 pageviews. 200,000 or so is coming from Organic traffic and 100,000 from Pinterest. I love both of these sources. But, of course organic/SEO traffic
