I integrated our current blog directly into the home page/navigation, use cross-marketing, and web forms / polls to capture useful information and...more importantly...convert readers into paying customers.

I hope that this post is taken as the friendly information intended and not as a sermon of some kind.DISCLAIMER: While all the information contained below is factually correct, I do not represent any readers of this post concerning their personal income tax situations.

(although I understand that when the contractor did not finish his work – soffit and window) that would just be my lost and I would need to take care of that again), I didn’t force anyone to pay in cash, your fiancé decided that it was more convenient for her to deposit into my account, when the contractor did repairs, I spoke with you on the phone and not once did you mention that there was debris in the back yard, all you had to do was SAY SOMETHING (I’m not a mind reader) and I didn’t debris was there, I’m sending you certified letters to ensure we are all on the same page about what was agreed, not to mention that the letter outlines what you have paid in rent since you moved in, and lastly this discussion is about US HERE NOW, NOT about a previous tenant!!!

What I do care about is the other readers who are not sure about the laws and think you are correct.

Karen - I know you're not asking me for my opinion, but I'll give it regardless, and hopefully others will chime in as well.The keys to being successful in blogging are:- Having a Consistent Message- Having a Voice (opinion/angle)- Being Informative- Being Well Written- Giving Your Readers What they Want and More- Not selling outI've read hundreds of articles on blogging and have been doing it for over 7 years now; I've seen people come and go, but the people who last and build an audience are those that follow the above list.We have many bloggers here who blog on both their own site and BP, we have others who just blog on BP, and of course, there are many bloggers who only blog on their own sites.

You on the other hand did offer advice without pointing out the potential pitfalls to Tom and other readers.
