Since 1975 there has existed on the west coast of the United States a community whose sole function is to facilitate sharing of services among the members. This community is not a barter club, in that services are freely shared, not traded. That is to say, there's no balancing out between services given and services received. This portal will explore the structure of this community, and provide a model for creating similar communities in other locales.

I wrote this blog on our SEO Blog templates blogging area, that is my favorite site where most of SEO tips and SEO’ed Wordpress blog templates are down loaded. I would like to say that is our most visited website, but it is now surpassed by some of our not so well known sites such as the better than Edenpure Heaters site @ Greenisbetter.org, and our Cross Ring site at MyTypes.com/Jewelry. As you know I take all of my most important blogs and publish them on all of our blogging sites, well... Read Full Story
You have heard this from so many SEO experts, blog often, blog this and blog that. They are constantly talking about blogging, but the average person, well even I don’t know what to write about. And trust me, you need to write meaningful content or people won’t read it, and if they don’t, you won’t get high rankings on Google either. So how should we blog, how often and long, on what platform and Why? I am going to keep this post short, as I blogged earlier about our Marketplace and the... Read Full Story
