Darin Carter at Darin.cc is holding a contest for a free Wii if you review his site. Darin’s blog is an SEO blog that is very difficult to use because his theme is crushing his content into a 2-inch wide block, making it unreadable.

An important life lesson that I’ve been learning the hard way:
A scorpion is sitting near the edge of a creek. A frog approaches, and the scorpion asks him for a ride across the creek.

It appears that I’ve been tagged for obsessive thoughts by Leroy over at Green Llama. I’m to list 5 obsessions that I have and then tag some other bloggers to do the same when I’m finished.

Spelling/Grammar - I may not always get it right myself, but I obsess over attempting to. I proofread everything I […]
