Milk and Mud

Day Thirty Six

Kristen — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:26:16 +0000

In the end, it just comes down to doing the work. You just have to buckle down, do it, and work really, really hard at it. It’s not sexy, I know. But I’ve found that to get any job in any part of life done, you have to be willing to work. It’s after you’ve [...]

Day Thirty Five

Kristen — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:50:26 +0000

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m actually posting this in the morning on Day 36. I finished up our taxes last night and got them submitted and to be honest I was just absolutely exhausted. I fell into bed and fell out. We had a huge day yesterday. We had a professional cameraman film some segments of [...]

Day Thirty Four

Kristen — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:41:11 +0000

I really wanted to write more tonight about my thoughts and plans and how things are going overall, but again I’m really tired. My dear hubby has already gone up to bed and I just want to join him. I’m too tired to even read. We have a very busy day tomorrow so I need [...]

A Review of the Stallion WordPress SEO Theme

Kristen — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:35:57 +0000

You know that you need a premium theme if you’re serious about creating your business with WordPress. But with so many choices out there, it’s hard to know what to pick. I recently set up a niche site and decided to give the Stallion SEO Theme a test-drive with my site. I’ve been incredibly impressed [...]

Thirty Two

Kristen — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:45:48 +0000

I. Am. Tired. I worked today — physically and mentally and I still have one assignment for my coaching homework that I want to nail down before bed. Since I need to get in bed about 20 minutes ago, this will be brief. Today I didn’t do much with Milk and Mud directly, but I [...]

Day Thirty One

Kristen — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:26:20 +0000

Here I am at the end of January feeling a bit overwhelmed, a bit excited, and a bit unsure of things. I feel like I’ve gotten so much done this month, but at the same time, I haven’t gotten done everything I wanted to. A big part of that is that I still haven’t finished [...]

Why WordPress Sucks for Niche Sites (And What To Do About It)

Kristen — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:07:50 +0000

You know that WordPress is super-easy to install. It’s a 1-click thing with most web hosts. It’s easy to enter content. You just type a title and then type the content. What could be easier to use to set up an army of niche sites? There’s just one problem. WordPress blogs suck for niche sites. [...]

Day Thirty

Kristen — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:28:22 +0000

And today went with a bang. What a day. I’m feeling overwhelmed because migrating my server stuff took much of the day and a lot of hair-pulling. I think I handled it fairly well, and got some help from Scott in the process. That’s about all I did aside from the children’s schoolwork… and I [...]

Day Twenty Nine

Kristen — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 02:48:51 +0000

Between server shuffling and doing taxes, I am coming in really late tonight. The frustrating news is that my income did indeed take a steep, steep hit last year, coinciding (surprise, suprise) with the Google Panda updates. The good news is I still made a profit, still helped my family out, and still feel really [...]
