Herd Mentality – Don’t be a Sheep
I like sheep. Who doesn’t like sheep, right? It’s fun to watch them frolic about and all that. I imagine they would be fun to raise. If I had a farm I would definitely have some sheep! But you don’t want to actually be the sheep. Nope. Sheep aren’t too smart. They just kinda do…
Money For Nothing, Really?
Money for Nothing? Yes! Sign me up! Everyone would love to make money for doing nothing. If you tell me you wouldn’t like that, I’d call you a liar, lol. Some people might say they would rather ‘work for their money’, and I can understand that attitude of pride. If that helps them persevere then…

Tweaking for Social Shares
I have been spending some time tweaking my blog the past couple days. One thing is trying out different share bars to assist with social shares.
