We over-engineer everything don’t we, given half a chance.;
Along with “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” idea it sounds like keeping it simple is the way to go-always.
Look forward to hearing from you if you go blog hopping.

Sorry, it’s been a while since I visited…

I like the story about the pencil, very funny.

Keeping things simple really is the way to go with our online businesses. Many people get lost amongst all the information and never get started.
I’m making progress, but still a few things to get right. Just need to spot the simple answer…

Thanks

I’m doing well, thanks. How about yourself.

Quite true about the fresh eyes or even outlook. Walking away from a problem and taking a break or working on something else for awhile can also help a person look at something differently.

Cheers,

Your post reminds me of the old addage, “Can’t see the forest for the trees”.

Quite often we are so close to a problem, that we cannot see the logical solution. Very often it requires a fresh viewpoint to overcome a problem.

I believe Albert Einstein once said “Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.”

I myself have often been stumped by a problem, that has been solved within minutes by a fresh pair of eyes. Then when you see the solution, it is all so obvious.

Just stopping by to say fantastic stuff! I love the simple solution idea. The human race always want to make things more complicated that it is!

Thanks for sharing!

Keep up the good work

Focusing on the solution instead of on the problem seems easy from the perspective of your post story.

I think the reason why it’s more difficult for most people to focus that way is that they insist on a particular solution.

Using a pencil instead of a pen won’t work for people who insist on having things written in ink.

I’ve noticed that you no longer have dofollow blog.

Have you encountered any problems with dofollow and solved it by eliminating it altogether? Was that the only solution?

I still have dofollow even though I implemented it later than you and have no problems with it at all.

I also have keyword luv.

I’m interested to know what your view is on that.
