Hi guys... thx for the emails asking where I've been and if I'm OK. Yes, I'm alive, well and just really, really busy. I'm stopping by to drop off our new December calendar that you can use, edit or give away on any of your own sites / blogs.
The image above is a preview of the December wallpaper/calendar we're giving away on my art website Its an untitled painting I just finished for a client (a surprise Christmas gift for his wife).
If you'd like to use the image above on your own blog or website, you can either download it and give it away as is or feel free to add your own text.
As I've said before, remember that people do not download wallpapers to see advertising on their computer screens so... less is more, keep it simple.
I miss you guys too but I'll be back soon with a ton of new stuff, graphics, marketing goodies and news about my new project WordPress in Plain English. So be well and have a great week...

Why Nobody Cares About Your Blog by David Risley
If I walked into a crowded mall, stood there in the middle of it and just started talking, what do you think would happen? Most people wouldn’t see me. Now, imagine if 90% of the people did that. It would be one big din of noise... so they start competing and trying to out-talk the other people. The volume increases, but few are being listened to. The ones who are listened to are the ones at least saying something useful. And that is the blogosphere. read...
