It changed a few times after that, but I probably should have gone along with the professional!

My weblog seems to go all over the place with no real writing style. I am definitely not a writer by trade, unless it is in code. You mentioned not liking this theme, and I would love to know what you envisioned vs what you received. And I know it's none of my business, but would love to know the cost involved in this theme. I think monetization is important, however it depends on your monetary. I personally do it for the comments, links and benefits to my company, <a href="<a href="http://www.bowlingball.com. " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.bowlingball.com. </a>"><a href="http://www.bowlingball.com. " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.bowlingball.com. </a></a> And I am not afraid to admin that, because I am not spamming sites to build links, but really getting into the communities and contributing. My posts are not written solely about bowling either, as I have many facets. I am a programmer by trade and write a lot about what I am doing on the site. Enough rambling for now.
