A Blogger In Need And A Friend Indeed

How many times can lightning strike in the same place? Well when is comes to my hosting of this site apparently over and over. This past Saturday night I was chatting with Monika on Skpe and posting an article about choosing partners for your home based business. As always I posted it on Blogging Zoom, but there was an interesting plug in I was looking at and tried to use my FTP client to experiment with it.
