Great advice Katie. I question every article I write and review it over and over to make sure it is worthy of hitting that publish button. Especially since I am new to this. Especially with sales pages. They can come off so cheesy sometimes if the proper research is not done to explain the items and review them when appropriate. As always.. good job.

Jimmie - this is the best idea I have seen in a long time. I am in great need for organization ideas with all the clutter that piles up in my house. Four kids really leave a lot laying around. Something like this would help me tremendously. Thanks for the great idea!!

@Cat Glad you caught some mistakes. It is quite common at Pinterest and a real shame because many readers do not know how to find the original post for the orphan photo.
@kinworm Thanks! Yes, you do need nice photos to begin with. But text can really dress things up. I've been learning how to use Gimp. It's a free program with many of the same capabilities of Adobe Photoshop.
@nightbear True! Pinterest can be very fun!
@grandmamarilyns Glad to be of help. I hope lots of your images get pinned!

I agree to a certain extent. All those articles on eHow with the exact same title are really annoying. But at the same time, if someone else writes an article and I know I can write a better one, why shouldn't I? I have a lens on Squidoo that's been in my top 3 for over a year, but I almost didn't write it because there was 1 (yes, just one) other lens written on the same subject. I made mine better and Google saw that. So could it still be considered competing within the site if Google has a clear preference?

Does it make a difference what type of surface you run on? My feeling is that the pain and stress of running is as much down to running on hard pavement as it is down to the shoe.

Indeed barefoot running on grass or sand is probably the safest form of running - the only problem is that unless you live near a beach or clean park it's impossible for most of us to do.

I'm loving Pinterest. After reading this, I have to go check my pins because I know I pinned a couple photos from my blog. I didn't realize they got linked to the picture and not the site. How odd! Thanks for all the tips!

While I get why they are doing the protest, I noticed it sounds like those who are celebrating it in the traditional spirit are painted as the villains, not the companies who fund it. I respect that others are against the holiday, but persecuting those who do celebrate it is the wrong move.

I am constantly surprised at how so many folk try this gig without a plan. Thanks for sharing.

@Jimmie,
I don't know why people would use topics to try and make money from what they have little or no knowledge on, I would expect a belief or perception of a higher profit motive. I reckon given enough time, personal ethics will steer people back to writing about based on their personal morals, convictions and beliefs.

It has been shown as effective time and again that laser focusing on a niche will always work out better than for just providing on a general niche.

@WillApse,

I agree with on the fact that some people are one to enter a store to try on goods, only to buy them online at a later time. It has become something of a issue under discussion for bricks and mortal retail here in Australia.
But I can't always see people always writing reviews for products that are sold day in day out, more likely for rarer or more expensive items.

Well stated, realistic goals are always a good thing.

@brlamc
If I didn't have any patience myself, I know I still would not still be in this game. I would be on to other things, which would be a shame, really.

@BrendaReeves
Constant change is also one of the expectations required for working in this business. Always be on the lookout for one finds that what works today may change and one has to adapt for it to work tomorrow.

They are nice products.
