Over the past year or so I have kept in close contact with another webmaster in the UK, Temi Odurinde. Temi is a successful webmaster, especially in the forum industry, and is also the owner of Boss Cart, a popular shopping cart software. I have done a review of Boss Cart software in the past, and you may be hearing more about it soon. A little hint here, freebie promo! What I wanted to mention though is the fact that Temi has a web hosting blog that some of you may be interested in. Continue reading »
It may seem like a silly question, but I believe many have websites just for the fun of it. They could also be basic information sites, but all the same, I am curios to know how many of you want to make money from your site.
