If you were ever thinking of running Chitika MiniMalls like the one showed in this post, use this referral to signup. (I do get some revenue from your referral).

WP Theme: Senorita Two column flowery, shadowy colorful theme for WordPress from the WPThemes.info folks.

Creating Passionate Users I have followed this blog for a while since I was introduced to it a while back (by who I do not remember). Graphics like the one below are their hallmark and a lot of what they say seems like common sense. Reminds me of a real life Dilbert of kinds.
