Step 1: Read this blog post: www.wpthemesgallery.com/dont-make-the-same-web-design-mistake-i-did/
Step 2: Comment on whether or not you think links should open new browser windows (keeping your blog open but possibly cluttering up your reader’s screen) or whether clicking the link should take them to the next site in the same window (forcing them to leave your blog).
I’ve been using the “open link in new window” option for the most part on my blogs, but if I get an overwhelming response otherwise, I’m willing to change my evil ways… 
Let me know what you think!
Fair Winds,
Andrew

I joined ListBandit to help me increase my ability to reach people with my message (won’t it be great when I finally figure out what the message should be?). 
ListBandit is an interesting way to take your message to people who otherwise might not hear it… it’s a 3x matrix, infinitely deep (or as deep as you can make it), with a twist.
The twist is this: Every day, the site “shuffles” (or pulls the arm on the one-armed bandit - hence the name ListBandit) the membership, giving you the opportunity to increase the number of people your message may go to. Additionally, if you sign up soon, you’ll get the opportunity to increase the eyeballs your message hits exponentially, just by referring other interested parties to the site.
Initially, your list will be minimal, but as you refer people it’ll build quickly. And every day you’ll have another opportunity to be at the peak of the mountain of people who have signed up - meaning your message will reach everyone below you in the downline.
So start prepping your message - THOUSANDS might get to see it very soon! Click below to sign up and give it a try yourself!
It’s Not Too Late To Hit The List-Building Jackpot. Join
Today, and You Could Be Emailing Thousands … Tomorrow!

Aviationofbusiness.com just joined RSShugger - a new web-based program to help bring more readers to your blog. They have a top 100 list of blogs that resets every month, giving you the opportunity to grow your reader base even more quickly!
Currently, RSSHugger only has 269 feeds, so your chances of getting on the top 100 are more than 33%! Also, listing your blog on their site is completely free, provided you are willing to do a review of the site on your blog (such as this one). If you don’t want to do a review, you can also pay a flat fee of $20, or $2/month. This would be a good option for blogs whose readers wouldn’t appreciate a service that will attract more people to their blog.
I will probably be listing my new blog - www.environmentastic.com - on the RSShugger site as well, but since my readers on that site are looking for information on becoming more environmentally-conscious (and not necessarily looking to attract traffic to a blog), I’ll probably pay the $20 for that blog.
On THIS site, however, you are here to learn how to take your business to the next flight-level, so this kind of post is more appropriate for you!
Check out RSSHugger - it might be worth getting registered and listing your info with them!
Fair Winds,
Andrew
