I am looking for real answers, not stories here. What is your adventure? I live in Northern Wisconsin. I don't hunt. I enjoy fly fishing, but the bass clubs and walleye clubs aren't my thing. I don't…Continue

Bryan Entzminger replied to Tom Ballard's discussion Landing Page in the group Wordpress websites"Camden is exactly right. I checked your code and it doesn't have the closing tag. "
Camden Ross replied to Tom Ballard's discussion Landing Page in the group Wordpress websites"Hi Tom,
First thing I would check is to make sure you have your closing < / a > tag in place at the end of your widget block.
That is the primary culprit for things like this from what I've seen.

Dustin Hartzler replied to Tom Ballard's discussion YouTube pages and plugins in the group Wordpress websites"The best way is to use the YouTube URL and let WordPress pull in your video. That will use the least amount of code and won't slow your site down.

Hi everyone.I'm curious what you all are using in the way of plugins for YouTube. I am going to start making one video per week, as well a linking to others that would interest my readers and podcast listeners.I'm not really sure about the best way to set this up. I know I could just use the YouTube imbed code, then set up a Category page, but I am concerned about slowing the site down. I also want the page to look as nice as possible.Ant suggestions would be appreciated. The site is …See More
Tom Ballard replied to Erik K. Johnson's discussion What frustrates you most about podcasting? in the group Podcasting And New Media"Being in a niche that no one is looking for.

Profile Information
- How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?
- I listen to 48 days podcasts while working as an over-the-road truck driver. I have tried a few other jobs, but trucking is a passion and I will stay connected with the industry as a career choice. I hope to build an internet presence and 48 days has a great community of people willing to share some of the things I need to learn.
- What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?
- I work for a small, family owned livestock company in Wisconsin. I deliver livestock throughout the mid-west. I also do some barn work, customer service and a little bit of buying and selling of livestock. I usually work 3 1/2 days a week so I have free time to build an internet ministry.
- And then...what is your goal/dream for your work life?
- I love the job I have and I plan on staying here for years. I would also like to start a website/podcast combining the Christian faith and trucking. I bought 2 domain names and I am just starting on the website.
- How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?
- # years ago I had all of the answers. Now, the economy injured our financial portfolio, my wife's recent bout with a nasty cancer makes us take life in smaller bites. You still make long term goals, but you have to get the most out of every day.
- What would you say are your strongest talents? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?

huge student loan debt.
Posted on October 12, 2010 at 5:25am 2 Comments 0 Likes
This is a rare treat. I have a morning at home on a week day. Monday through Friday usually finds me on the road. I could get used to this.
I just finished Dan's blog post about student loan debt. WOW. I never went to collage. I'm not proud of it, but it's a fact. I may get there some day but it's not a burning desire. I was born in 1960 and when I got out of the Navy in 1982 I had mouths to feed. Being the child of a blue collar family in the blue collar part of town I knew 2 things were…

Jennie Arnold said… - Hey, Tom! My husband (also Tom) is also a trucker! He's burned out from all the very early morning hours of getting up and working for someone else; however, there is a fear that he can't get past when it comes to actually leaving that job and us doing something for ourselves to generate income. We keep praying about it but he's afraid that as the family provider, he worries about not having a steady income each week. How do we get past this?
