There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So, what the hell, leap.” – Cynthia Heimel

Excellent advice! How many times have there been when we hesitated to do something because we were afraid people would laugh at us? How many great chances to be brilliant have we missed because of it?

I know there have been times in my life where this hesitation backfired. Which brings another great quote to mind…

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” - Les Brown

Cool Twitter tool

TwitPwr is a cool free url shortening service that is currently in Beta launch. When you use TwitPwr it tracks the number of clicks that you drive via Twitter API and gives your account a Power Rating.

Your Power Rating is not only based on the unique traffic you generate but also on how many Twitter users you refer back to the service and how much traffic they generate through unlimited generations.

It’s totally free and you can set up as many urls as you would like.  I think it’s pretty cool. So go check it out.  Oh, and here’s what one of my links looks like: http://TwitPWR.com/needmorereferrals/

This has been in the works for about 13 months now. Back then I bought the book “WordPress for Dummies.” Mind you, I’m no dummy, but just looking at the pages was intimidating. Yes, it had pictures, but the steps I had to go through just setting my blog up scared me enough that I didn’t attempt it. Then I found this video…

…And voilà…here it is.
