It looks great, I wish mine was as good as yours. Anyway I was tweaking my blog yesterday and similar to firefox messed in up big time. I think I am going to have to start from scratch, them's the brakes. I have been using a simple free program to clean up my computer, it is called "ccleaner" and can be downloaded from www.download.com. Great program, I personally have been using it for years and even have it installed on my kids computers as well. You can image the junk they get into. Also some of the programs I run on a daily basis create a lot of junk files. A couple of clicks using ccleaner and I am back up and running. Check it out, and if you have any questions let me know.

I have been trying to do 4 to 6 a day. I like your blogs look very professional. Sorry about all your trouble with IP's or whatever. I was using Firefox browser for awhile, still have it but don't use it much because it is so dog-gone slow. Maybe it's just my computer. I know I could stand some more memory. Anyway just stopped by to say Hi. I see a lot of your posts in the forums and noticed you offer a lot of help to a lot of people. That is much appreciated. Hang in there and keep up the good work.

I say supposed because, from reading their promos, the better part of them just have a background in writing which doesn't necessarily translate into doing good copywriting. I just can't see paying a deposit to end up with sub-par work. The trick of course is to find one you like and stick with him/her. Thanks, Paul :)

I'm glad you managed to get your firefox problem sorted! I have used rentacoder in the past, and was expected to pay the money into Escrow. The funds are not released to the programmer until you sign off the work. I think that is normal practice as it proves you have the funds to pay. If there are any discrepancies, they can look into it for you before any monies are released so you never (hopefully) lose out! Speak soon, Paul .-= Paul Wilson´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.whoispaulwilson.com/progress-this-week-with-module-3.html" rel="nofollow">Progress This Week with Module 3</a> =-. Hi Rod,
