Here it is…
Hi Griz,
I’m a newcomer to your blog-wow! great info…but a little disheartening. Only a little,though. The fact is my partner and i do make money online, and we have discovered an amazing avenue to get there even faster than we did the old fashioned way – with a lot of research, hard work (implementing what we learned), and time. Okay-here’s the scoop, there is a web building company called (removed by Griz), My partner and I highly encourage people to sign up with (removed by Griz) through our website, (removed by Griz)
If people sign up through us we will offer a nice little discount on our web packages. The reason we love (removed by Griz) is because of their extensive step-by-step (idiot-proof) program which has an amazing built in analytic program (I know they have some kind of arrangement with Wordtracker-among others) so that your page is optimized to Google’s high standards. I have been into Internet marketing for the past 8 years or so, and (removed by Griz) blows any web Building service out of the water. The caveat is some of the tutorials are a little difficult, and the customer support isn’t so hot. But once you get over the hump, it’s smooth sailing-as long as you keep writing. They recommend 250 pages of great content. (removed by Griz) has the same philosophy as we do to making money on the web-provide quality content, with no tricks, and the traffic will time. Patience is required-no doubt about it. But if you follow the steps between (removed by Griz) and us (removed by Griz)-stock market decline or not- you will start to develop a nice little retirement fund in a couple of years. Anyway thanks for the great blog, and for the opportunity to put in my two cents.
To you success, Kim
Now that took a little effort. Well done. Why don’t all the spammers give us a little content like Kim.

Also… there is a new page for finding backlinks in case you haven’t seen it – Link Resources
Oh… there is something else.
My sidebar is whacked – the text box widget doesn’t display the white background box like the other sidebar widgets. (and what’s with the text in the Tags widget?) Terry tells me this is a javascript problem of some sort but he lost me at java… java… rhymes with Lava… hmmm Hawaii… maybe golf this year in hawaii… golf yeah… um what was that Terry?
That is how my mind translates code of any kind…
Here is Terry’s written explanation…
As for your sidebar woes, it seems the problem lies in the javascript somewhere which is not easy for me to decipher. It only seems to affect the “text” widget so I’ll have to delve a little deeper into that one. I don’t mind if anyone else wants to have a look at it – the original theme is called “bluespot” which I lifted from Court’s blog. The problem must lie within the original theme so it should be easy for anyone who is a javascript expert to go in and find what it is from there rather than tinkering with your theme. Once the problem is found and resolved it should be easy to transfer into you blog (and a couple of mine that use a different variation on that theme).
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Terry has not totally succumbed to the dark side of code monkey-ism and this leaves me at the mercy of those of you who have become dark lords of the internet. People that actually know what the hell javascript is – not just what it does.
So there you have it. Just thought I’d ask some of my computer literate friends if they would care to take a stab at this. I will gladly pay for your troubles. cough… RT cough cough… Frank… Elliot… Vic…
Thanks in advance (I hope)
Cheers again
Griz again
Btw… I don’t say this enough but thanks to all of you who have helped me out along the way, big favors or small, it is much appreciated.
