Free 5-Day Fat Loss Course by John Berardi
I have been a fan of John Berardi’s articles and courses for over 5 years now. What I like the most is that he approaches health and fat loss from a nutritional perspective. Take note, he is NOT saying “weight loss”, but fat loss. I know from my own experiences with exercise that sometimes my [...]
Uninstall Blekko
I get a number of visitors to my website who are searching for the term uninstall blekko.

Give examples of how it works from your own process.” The bulk of my [...]
Moving A WordPress Site To A New Web Host
Recently I decided to move many of my WordPress websites to a new server. The initial process I took was slow and complicated, and just wasted my time. I had created a new WordPress installation and imported all the posts, pages, comments, etc, into the new site, and had to manually install the plugins, losing [...]
