It's done, Ideas has moved! www.JansIdeas.comAs of today, I'm still cleaning up and unpacking at Ideas new home. I have to put up the pictures and the ads, but if you don't mind the mess, stop by and visit. If you'd prefer to wait till I tidy up, I will post an update here when I'm settled in. I love the new home.

Ideas has a new homeIt may look like I've been neglecting Ideas, but I've been working on getting Ideas moved to its own domain and transfered to WP. I have 85 uncategorized posts to categorize! I'm also trying to figure out how to change the photo in the WP theme I chose.It got stuck trying to pick out a photo. I finally choose one I took of cacti in the background with water flowing over a dam.

Skill building is essential in any professionI have been building my skils which is a slow and painful process for me. Its mostly by trial an error and asking questions when I get stuck. I was a bit discouraged, but I know the past "classes" will help me tremendously. My posting hasn't been as frequent, but its a sacrifice that was necessary.These are the steps I have accomplished the past few

I decided to move this blog.Now that I moved two smaller blogs to WordPress, I have the confidence to move this one! I will have Jan's Idea Box's new home ready by October 7, 2006. The move will be complete by Oct 15, 2006. With its move, the name will change to Jan's Idea Basket. I was going to change the name completely, but decided against it after discussing it with my son, Bob Schmuck.

Starting fresh!Ok, new day today! I’m at my computer ready to write. Its 9:30 am. I have the day off. I’m going to commit to writing today. I’m not making goals on quantity, I’m just making a goal to get something, anything started. I will keep a running log of my progress today. The reason for the log is to have an accurate record of what I accomplish and to create accountability. Some of the

I love to write, but I just can't get started.I have lots of ideas and notebooks (I write in those during down/slow time at my jobs) full of articles and posts. I just can't get myself to sit at the computer to get it written and edited. When I get to my computer, I wander around the internet aimlessly, that leads to feeling like I've wasted valuable time, and that leads to my fustration

Affiliate Networks Make A Push Into The UK MarketThis is important because for so many years in the affiliate marketing industry, the UK affiliates were very limited in which offers they could promote, but now with a recent surge in American companies expanding into the UK, they'll be able to make a lot more money overall. It finally gives UK publishers more to choose from.read more | digg story

With the excitement came headaches.Well, I am moving along on my goals for the month and got a domain for my group home blog. I struggled and finally got it added to my accounts (I have a reseller account and am hosting it myself). Trying to add it was the first headache. The second bigger one was that everytime I tried to access my new domain, it showed it couldn't find the server. After a few

Well, I did it !I had help from my son. We both had some free time at the same time (rare lately) and he walked me through getting a template of choice on my blog. Part of the problem was the ftp client I had downloaded. He suggested Core FTP and it was easier than the one I had from the WordPress site.

It's so easy to be discouraged when starting out and the steps are slow and awkward. It's easy to look at the high earnings of the "big boys" and painfully see the gap between you and them. It's a distraction and discouragement to do that and unhealthy. Use them as motiviation, learn from them, and keep the possibilites in your vision....this is healthy!

Do your posts cover a variety of topics and project updates regularly? Bob, (Inspiration for the Internet Entrepreneur) incudes several topics/project updates in his posts. This is how he orgainizes his posts.Lists the topics/projects that will be covered at the top of his post. Writes details on each topic. Topic/project headings stand out so the reader can easily scroll down to the topic of

My personality on line and off, is very socialable and "hostess" oriented. Thanks to my son Bob, I was introduced to Kahlid, and he invited me to post on his forum, Netpreneur Forums. I just naturally did many of the tasks described. I have to admit that I was surprised when someone would take me up on a suggestion to post. I saw how I personally enjoyed going to the forum and learning more about

I have been coming across so very much infromation lately and there's just not enough tim to sort through it and read it all! I've been exchanging information with my son lately and was thnking it would be helpful to have a couple more people out there checking stuff out and pointing me in the direction of the great information out there.I got the idea of having a blogger team.

I'm typing on my new keyboard. This morning before work my "G" and "H" failed to respond, resuscitation was unsuccessful, so my son and I headed to Wal-Mart and I got a replacement. The first thing I did when I got home from work tonight was unplug, the still lifeless carcass of my keyboard, send it to rest peacefully in my trash can and plug in the new one!

I changed the template on Jan's Group Home Help blog and lost my links, stat counter and a few other customizations because I didn't double check I saved the first template. Now that I've looked at a lot of blogs and am more comfortable with working on them, I am evaluating my blogs. This one will be next, I will be sure to check the saves before I change it.

I have recently checked into two partnerships. My first one is related to my photography and is in the works. I think I will give it a fancy code name like all the other entrepreneurs (lol) do with their projects, to protect it till it's launched. I will name it, JFPX-1. Yesterday my son and I talked about partnering up for an on going project. It doesn't need a secretive code, but we will

The site has not been launched yet, when it is I will let you know. I had wanted to have 4 weeks (one a week) of articles to submit today, but didn't reach that goal.

I have 55 postsMy rank is-Pay Raise. I joined Netpreneur Forum on July 9, 2006. Kahlid has a contest for posts. I'm competing for the prizes at the 500 post level. There is also a prize level for 250 posts and another for 125 posts.

I'm going to try to post today and see if I advance the date w/post and comment options, if it will post itself tomorrow. I could write posts and have them post themselves if I take time off.It didn't work. I guess I will have to pay someone to post drafts if I take time off. It posted immediately with the future date/time.

I just read an article about female entrepreneurs. I have decided I will get more information for my project, Mom's Money School, regarding raising up female entrepreneurs since I have two young daughters. I think I may include a chapter just for girls. I have a post regarding that on Netpreneur Forum, a place for internet entrepreneurs, to get some input.

Divide a long post into two or more parts.Doing this has advantages.Easier to read postsIncreases number of postsEncourages travel within blogYou can connect all the parts of the posts. At the bottom of your post have a link to the other parts of the posts. For example, part three could have links to parts one, two, and four.You can also connect related posts to each other this way.

Problem-There's information on my blog that I want on the first page every month. Solution-Use "post and comment options" on blog post. One way is to have a link to the information you want available in one post. Example-I have a post titled "band information". In that post I link the text to the posts "band history", "band members", "the music", "the songs", etc. At the beginning of every month

Get a pen and paper or go to your computer. Decide what your business needs. Start with the bare essentials and add supplies and equipment as income comes in. Upgrade as finances allow and to meet changing business needs. Prioritize the items neede. I suggest you create three lists of supplies and equipment needed for your home office.

Phones, not just for talking anymore.Even though much communication is done on the internet, there are still businesses where contact with customers on the phone is essential. Cell phones may be a great choice because they can also be used as a portable connection to the internet, have walkie-talkie capabilities, and can document and share information with their built in cameras. Landlines have

Another seed sowed! With AdSense, when someone signs up from my button on my blog, it is considered a referal. When the referal makes the first $100, I get a one time payment of $100! Mid Life Crisis signed up for AdSense. As soon as the sign up is comfirmed, I will add the ads for them and their own button for referals to AdSense.

Most businiesses will need a computer eventually. At the very beginning you may be able to invest in portable memory like a jump drive and borrow your family or friends computer temporarily. Eventually, though, every business will benifit from a computer. Some businesses need a computer that can go where you go whether it’s to visit a customer or for business travel. You will have to decide if it

Many entrepreneurs are born at home. If you are one of them and working from home, be sure to create a permanent or temporary area to conduct business. Once you evaluate your needs for your type of business, ask yourself a few questions so you can decide what you will need to effectively conduct business from your home. Start with the bare essentials in case your initial plan for business ends up

The display was up for two weeks at the Eastside City Hall lobby in Tucson, AZ. It had childrens cancer awareness information, photos and writings from Cactus, Cancer, and Chemo, Robert Schmuck's story of surviving children's cancer, information on Don't Be a Schmuck, and how it felt from family members to have Rob go through treatment.

I have added a link in my side bar to order Rich Dad, Poor Dad.I highly recomend the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The book has been inspiring because it has activated new ways to think about money. It has triggered many ideas for me and has awaken creativity. I don't see it as a step by step instructional book, though he has some instructions on how he achieved his success.

He’s got a mobile repair service. He’s been working on my cars for years for a minimal charge. There have been times as a single mom, I wasn’t able to pay anything.

This book design matches me!I really enjoy making my blogs. Till I move on to creating web sites, my information doesn’t just sit on my computer, unshared. While I'm posting on the blogs, I can learn to make my own web pages. I took another step towards that goal and I got the book, Head First HTML with CSS and XHTML.

It's almost done! This project has taken a bit more time than I thought. Most of it was because of the emotional attatchment that came of storage, slowed me down. It was well worth it.

Check stats/income on a limited basisIt's true, watched pots never boil and it's best not to weigh yourself every day. Checking stats and income several times a day can be time consuming and it will appear like nothing is happening, like a watched pot. Just like a dieter who weighs herself daily or even several times a day, checking your stats/income that often will put you on a roller coaster

I was excited about having over 140 visitors since I put up my stat counter on Sunday.He was saying he was a little down because he made less than $4 today, after making almost $10 a day the past few days (probably the weekend factor).

I was a state finalist in the Illinois Miss United Teenager Pageant? It was a fun experience and met lots of nice people. My scrapbook has been packed away for years. My boys don't remember me showing it when they were little. I don't think my daughers ever saw the scrapbook. Everyone thought it was pretty cool, but they couldn't help but laugh at the hair style!!I did my community service hours

Reading recommendation My son told me about a book that inspired him, Rich Dad, Poor Dad.I started reading it. So far it’s really helpful. From what I read and seeing the way it’s re-shape his thinking, I believe every parent should get that book. I was among those parents who told my kids to get an education, get a secure job, and then you’ll be able to do the things you want. You’ll be free to

Write for a website.Do you know a web designer or internet entrenprenuer? See where their talent is. Is it in the web design? Is it in the hosting? Find out if they are spending too much time writing. I love to write and can come up with a lot rather effortlessly. My son, who has a blog, Inspiration for the Internet Entreprenuer, doesn't like to write. I have done research and writing for him to

Can your business help a good cause?I like to write and take photos. I have a son who is a childhood cancer survivor. I put together a collection of photos and writings together called Cactus, Cancer, and Chemo. It's a collection of writings and photos relating cactus survival of the desert and cancer treatment survival.I joined my business up with a good cause. I picked a cause I feel passionate

Over the weekend, at work I shared my group home blog ideas. They were well received.I got input from new and experienced staff, residents, and the house manager.Building on the comment from the lady, who does the new hires at work, I found out managers and staff in the home agree they would like more information available to new staff, what it is really like in the homes.I have decided to expand

Individualization! Special order without the special order expense. With limited funds, group home staff have to shop where they get the most for their budget. Often many of the homes have similar linen, dishes, shower curtains, etc. Often everyone shops at the same store. There's little or nothing special on the walls. Everyone does the best they can with their budgets and the options available.

Every business card doesn't have to look the same.Right now I print my own cards. My cards for Rainbow Creek Designs, are for my print design and my photography business. I did one sheet with the text all the same, but 8 different photos. I have a second sheet with 8 more of my photos.When I go to give the cards, people see a a variety of my photos as I show them one of each and they pick which

What I've worked on today;I consulted my son re: trouble with posting lists because they don't look like they do in "compose" when I post them. He suggested checking on line for the Html code. Will do that tomorrow. He said most codes can be found on line, and I shouldn't have to buy a book.Got the book my son suggested-Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Will read some tonight.Got the book a friend

It got cancelled!It was for a valid reason.....the passing on of a very dear co-worker a few days before. I trusted everything would work out. The following week, at the last minute, I found out someone else was leading that meeting. I was prepared and waited for her OK. I didn't hear from her! I then got a call from the original contact at the office, I found out she wasn't going to be able to

SHOWCASE WHAT YOU DO ON A BLOG IDEA-Add photos to a blog.GOAL-Exposure of work.COST-Photo equipment, time (shooting and choosing photos and setting up blog), no cost for free blog. There's two benifits to putting photos in a blog. One is to showcase your work. The second is an increase in visual appeal of your blog. Focus on variety in your photos. Choose how often you will add a picture to your

My second job was ending in a few weeks. I was VERY dependent on that second income. I hadn't had to look for a job in six years! I've never been out of work longer than two weeks and have usually had two jobs. I figured returning to bartending would give me some quick cash. I hadn't done it for years, but felt I could do a slow shift at a neighborhood bar. I started the painful process of

I decided to post what I do for my various projects on the day I do it. I will incorperate it in an expanded topic at later dates.Here's the first one! Today I read the latest postings and checked out one of the links-Young Money Blog, from Inspiration for Internet Entreprenuers (it's the Business Inspiration link on this blog). I liked the site I checked out and asked permision to link to his

No matter how educated we can afford to become, it cannot replace experience. I couldn't afford classes, but I could make myself available to take pictures. My classroom.... the real world. The cost.....my time.I volunteered to take photos for any event at work. Soon my pictures of the residents and staff ended up in the newletters and on the walls of the office (thank you Blake Foundation!).

We had a few horses at our small farm in northern IL.In 1976 I showed Arabian Horses in class A shows in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. We also showed in class B shows near our home in northern IL.I showed in Showmanship at Halter (I always placed) and Western Pleasure (I never placed at the class A shows). I always got first or second at the class B shows.My favorite horse was a black and

If I don't take myself seriously, I cannot expect anyone else to! I decided to take my budding talent, my desire, and my photos (as well as the copliments I received on them) seriously. I started over a year ago when I got a self-inking stamp that said "Jan F. Pavis Photographer". My name was in script like a signature, and my title in print. It was uncomfortable. I didn't have any education in

Welcome! I have a blog because my son suggested it was a great way to share my many ideas, so here I am. My focus business is my photography. I have spent a lot of time taking pictures and appreciating every compliment. I have also driven my family and friends crazy with my desire to document our experiences! I enjoy photography so much, I'd like to earn money doing it and have put it in my
