I know I have not written anything in an over a month. Just in case you were wondering why that was the case, here it is: I had nothing to write about.

At some point of time, I felt like I could no longer draw upon my knowledge or experiences to provide any additional value adding articles. Instead, I have spent the month reading books, working, and working out. In that time, I have learned a lot, and starting this week I am going to restart posting twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays.

Once again, I apologize for my absence, but I just wanted to let everybody know that I am alive and that I have not abandoned this blog. I am going to continue maintaining it and I will try to prove more thought provoking and value adding articles.

Thank you all for being here and I apologize for not warning you about my absence. But here I am again, ready to write again :)

Welcome New Readers!

Reader Appreciation

I would like to thank everybody for taking the time to leave so many great comments on the article about facebook. To be honest, I was not expecting such a reaction. Yet, that only shows that I touched upon a very relevant topic. I appreciate the variety of opinions and points of views. I feel like that is the true way to gain the best understand of the issue: get as much diverse feedback as possible.

That is why I love blogging. It gives me the opportunity to share my thoughts with the world and it also gives everybody else the opportunity to challenge those thoughts. It is kind of new way of communicating and having a dialog about variety of “hot” issues in today’s world. In the end, I am learning and you are learning. It’s an ultimate win win. So thank you all for being a part of my growth, and I would like to remain a part of your growth.

Things are a little bit slow this week. One of the reasons for that is that I am trying to get my personal life together.

I am interviewing for a couple of possible jobs this week, which should jump start my life a little bit more and provide with great food for thought and more awesome articles. I did however, managed to accomplish one major thing over the weekend, which I am going to share with everybody on Tuesday.

My Apologies

I have a huge apology to make to all of my readers. I have encountered some technical difficulties with WordPress, which took me a couple of days to solve. In case you were trying to access the website, you will have noticed that it was not up at all times. Once again, my apologies.

The root of the issue seems to have been the theme that I was using, which caused the WordPress interface to malfunction. That is the reason why I have switched to this new theme. I expect this theme to be temporary, until I find something that suits my style better. I wanted to have my blog up and running instead of it being offline and me spending time picked a theme that I do not like. Now, I will able to explore other themes, which hopeful will not cause any major issues in the future.

Thank you all for understanding and for baring with me.

Changes In The Blog

Besides the different theme, I will be changing my posting schedule to TWICE A WEEK. The posts will show up Tuesday and Thursday.

Reasons are pretty simple. I will be able to write more quality articles and this will give more time on focusing on things in my personal life that need to be taken care of. I have noticed that sometimes, I would end up posting to just to post. I did not feel that that was right and therefore, I will writing less, but more concentrated and more rich in content articles. I think you all will be able to tell the difference :)

Also, I will be working on a free e-book, which, I think, is going to be amazing and worth your time. I am going to take my time with as I want to be sure, it is as complete and finished as it can possibly be. It will be my first creation, so I want to make it great.

I have to extend my warm regards to Glen Allsopp from PluginID. I can easily refer to the list of top Personal Development Blogs provided by Glen to save a ton of time and every in my quest for the second guest post. Along the way I am discovering many new great sources of wisdom and information.

Using the list Glen had provided, a couple of suggestion from Oleg Mokhov and some of my own knowledge I compiled the initial list of blogs on which I would love to write a guest post on:

I am sure this list is going to grow and get smaller over time. It will grow because I will discover more awesome blogs to post on. It will get smaller because I will get the opportunity to write on most if not all of the blogs that I have listed and will list in the future.
