Week in Review and the Week Ahead - August 10 2008

August 10, 2008

Over the past week, I have spent quite a bit of time focusing on the Integration of Build a Niche Store and WordPress. What I thought could be accomplished in 5 days, has turned into a few extra, but I will complete the series this week… along with a few additional posts in regard to where you go next!

I am trying to get to a point that I can take Sundays as a day off, with exception to this single post. The hardest part is that I hate to leave people hanging, waiting for help. Wish me luck! :-)

I also wanted to remind everyone that the second weekly contest ends Monday afternoon. Jump over and enter to win the Hybrid-Auctions .com website before its too late!
