"Xud" would probably be a better subtitle, once it becomes obvious what it stands for (kinda like 'TOC' or 'TOS'). I'm 'thinkin` right off the top o` my head here' (I know, "as opposed to 'off the side'? 'of your foot'?"), so I call to mind the question 'What will the section be used for?' If it would be "used for" what my skeptical mind would 'accuse people' of using it for, then I don't really care what you call it. But if you would rather side with me & my hopeful mind, you use the 'xud' as "meditational material" (sorta like Christians and the Bible)---sort of 'to set your mind to a neutral "flow" so that you can more-easily adjust to the "flow" that the majority of writers are using that day.'

Okay, skip to the naming) The X-Set (of Mind, of Rules, of Basic Methods, w/e) ---Give Your Opinion Too!, & Google MIGHT find some extra money for you like they do for My Review of TheatreOCU's Recent Awesome! or http://www.mylot.com/mythman?ref=mythman

Just wanted to clarify that for your article to be selected into the Xomba User Database (we really need a better name) the article must only be about Xomba. So if you are writing about making money on other sites your article will not be eligible for inclusion.

Thanks for the update and hope you feel better soon - I haven't had a flu in some 5 years then recently 3 times in 5 months! From your own comments and Les Porter's made think about advertising. Most advertising on the internet just doesn't work for me... I just glaze over it, or search for the Close button on those irritating adverts that walk across the screen. However, the coolest and most clickable adverts I've seen to date are on reddit.com. Just click through a few pages and see the adverts on the right hand side. OK, some are for t-shirts! But most are very good. Join Xomba Here

you get to feeling better. Been down and out myself this weekend. Here's to lots of hot tea and honey. Thanks for the update. Make a lot of money writing on Xomba. Join Xomba here. View My Profile.

Nick, it sounds like you are experiencing the onsets of an allergy condition; not seasonal, definitely episodic, and if OTC remedy's are working for you, it is not contagious -- unless Jeremy also has it. If you really got something -- see a doc, get a temp measurement, blood work, see if your body is responding to "normal" environmental allergens or chemicals or if you need to move to a different climate. Sore throats and what biological agents (tiny critters) cause them are possible for medicine to find. Virus's? Whole other realm. Nick's Angels? Kristen, Rachel, and Sarah? Plumbing AND brain wiring ARE different! Variations on a theme. Yes, recently lacking the necessary and essential and continued Feminine touch? Okay, young women. Welcome to the fray. [Nick, What KIND of work will they be doing? Police work? Riding herd on content? Cowgirl stuff? Or word-smithing?] [subtext to Sarah] Sarah? There was a song about a "Boy named Sarah," wasn't there? (yeah. Sarah. Ignore that. Cash liked Sue. And it rhymes better/more easily.) Nick, Rain Go Away? As to the inches of rain. . .the NWS last three days missed it. In the Pacific NW, heavy mist does not count as rain even when you can feel it. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/obhistory/KNIP.html Get there, here: www.noaa.gov -- check your own site for a good forecast and the three day weather history. This is where your weather forecasts come from. New software?, New site look? Soon. I know it is a monster! For my own writing, the things (removed Xomba capabilities) recently [last years, etc.] "removed" remain problematic. You and Baldwin know those issues. I still think you need a "slick" appearance, like a classy magazine, or like the original Playboy facade or the present web edifices of the traditional publishing houses. Not quite the paperback cover art, but like avante guard picturesque websites wherein the categories have some images that can stick in the mind of the surfer or reader. Despite the dumbing-down of the vocabulary to the common denominator level, reading and the reading of words are our main means of communication. Those images worth thousands of words are the artistic offerings you should strive to indulge. Our visual mental mappings with graphics are clearly two dimensional arrays, but if properly conjured, like the book's cover, reach deeply into third, fourth, and fifth mental dimensions. Images are key inputs to humans, our visual field and sensory range and their integration within the mind are filled with vast, likely immeasurable, depths. the graphic conjuring words we writers employ are also often meant to tap as broadly as possible into the multidimensional abilities of our readers to reach in them some empathy or strike some chord of meaningful resonance. In science kinds of writing it is often almost just the opposite. It is necessary to focus on one key bit of knowledge gleaned to open a window into the vast scale of reality. Like focusing through a funnel, and once through it, observing the essentially infinite panorama of the universe both outside and inside. At some point, in my opinion, maybe years ahead, you are going to have to get mainstreamed beyond the simple return of advertising, to a full-fledged digital publishing realm of literary artistry and solid content. I'm not sure "profit" will be a part of the internet future, since I see it,(profit motivation) as currently structured, to be a species-destroying construct, and it has been the soul of the Wall Street debacle. Communications and experience-sharing will become more unifying and necessary for life's survival. I hope this communicates to you what I intended it to communicate. I look forward to Xomba when you are able to get beyond the purely structured Business Model. If Luck should "Count" for something; Good Luck.
