My
brand new baby grandson, Aiden, is two months old today!
Here is
the latest pic of baby Aiden and Big Sister Madison
and
also one of Aiden laughing at Daddy:

I got
to see my son's son, Brayden, who turned ONE year old
on May
23 today. His Mom brought him by for a visit and he
got to
spend an hour with us while she went on errands.
Of all
the things I have collected over the years, I must
say
that grandkids are the BEST, lol.
On the
car dilemma, what I feared was a water pump and/or
fan
turned out to be much worse. The heads or head gasket
or
something much more serious is the problem, I am still
waiting
to hear the verdict BUT, on a good note, not only
is this
probably covered on the extended warranty with my
just
having to somehow make a co-pay, I also finally got
a
loaner, they call them courtesy cars, and after 5 days
of
walking this was a great relief. One of my youngest
daughter's
friends took me the 35 miles to get the loaner
and the
service at this Ford dealer beats any I have ever
seen in
all of my years owning cars, if I ever get a new
one, I
will buy from no other dealer, this is for sure.
They
consistently treat me and my little 2003 Ford Focus
like I
am a millionaire and it is my limo. They ARE,
without
a doubt, the ultimate leaders in customer service.
It is
Hutchison Ford in St. James, MO and I cannot
recommend
them enough. :-)

Article
Writing
the Resource Box so it Makes People CLICK
The
internet is the information highway, this phrase has been
used so
may times it should be nominated for the Internet Cliché
Award.
People that use the internet are subdivided into groups,
but
generally, they are out to search information. Whether for
gaming,
business, fun or anything else the internet has provided
us with
information that has proved to be very beneficial.
Through
the recent years many people have learned the secrets
of
Search Engine Optimization. More and more sites have seen
the
effects articles have had for the traffic of their sites.
Some
have even created sites devoted entirely to providing
articles
that could be read by their website visitors and have
links
that could lead to many sites that are related to the
topics
and subjects of the articles.
For
example, the sites may feature many articles about a whole
lot of
topics. As website visitors read the articles they have
searched
for, they should find a resource box at the end of the
article
that can be clicked on to link them to the site that has
submitted
the article. Of course the article would be in relation
to the
site. Let's say the article is about rotating the tires,
the
resource box may lead to a link to a site that sells tires
or car
parts.
A
resource box is what you usually find at the end of an article.
It will
contain the name of the author, a brief description of
the
author, a brief description of the sponsoring site and a link.
If
readers like what they read, they would have the tendency to
find
out where the article came from to read more. The resource
box
will be their link to the source of the article and this
will
entice them to go to the site and do some more reading
or
research for the subject or topic they are interested in.
But,
like the article itself, the resource box must also be
eye-catching
to demand the attention and interest of the reader.
While
the resource box encompasses only a small space, providing
the
right keywords and content for your resource box will provide
more
prodding for the reader to go to your site.
Now
that we know what resource boxes are, what are the benefits
of
having a good one? Mainly it's driving traffic to your site.
Many
sites would allow articles to be placed in their sites
because
they can make use of the articles to fill their pages.
They
also get affiliation with other sites that can be beneficial
for
them as well. For the sponsoring site, when you get people
to
click on your resource box, you generate traffic that can be
counted
upon as potential customers.
So what
would be good content for your resource box?
Basically
it is keywords, learning about the proper keywords
that
people are mainly searching for. There are many tools
you can
find in the internet that can help you in determining
what
keywords to use.
Resource
boxes can also make use of all the creativity it can
get.
You only get a small space for your resource box so you had
better
make the most of it. Try to catch the attention of your
readers
with resource box content that can make them give
it a
second look. Unlike TV ads, you don’t have visual aids
to
drive your point in. But you do have the power of
imagination
of readers. With the right content, you can
make
them think and intrigued.
Another
tip is to use keywords that should be related to your
site.
Do not mislead your potential website visitors. Build
your
credibility so that more people would get enticed to
visit
your site and browse what you have to offer. Make the
people
click your resource box by providing resource box
content
that makes a lasting impression. You only get one
chance
to wow them and hundreds of chances to repulse them.
Never
underestimate the power of the resource box.
It may
be small in size but can provide a significant
aid in
driving traffic to your site. A boring resource
box
will never get the job done. Be fun and creative
but at
the same time show that you have a great deal
to
offer.

Man's
greatest actions are performed in minor struggles.
Life,
misfortune, isolation, abandonment and poverty are
battlefields
which have their heroes - obscure heroes who
are at
times greater than illustrious heroes.

Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French Writer
