That's it, boys and girls! After a long year and a lot of work, it's time for me to take a well deserved break from all my online and offline ventures. Blogging and spending time on the net, doing various other things is fun, but it's not the only activity which matters the most, in one's life. We shouldn't forget that we still have a family and a bunch of friends, who would like us to spend some time with them, at least now, during this winter holidays.
With this in mind, in this short post, I would like to wish all my readers, visitors, fellow bloggers and internet marketers, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 2008 was an interesting year, with lots of ups and downs and I'm glad that you all were next to me, either be commenting on my old blog, leaving me a message on social networking websites, or by emailing me. I hope that the next year ( 2009 ), you'll do the same for me. As usual, anything you'll do to help me grow this new blog, will be highly appreciated and rewarded!
I want to mention the following: the next couple of days I won't be online at all! I won't be posting any new articles here on WB Dot Net ( although, I have lots of them ready to be published ), nor will I respond to any comments, emails or private messages. I'm taking some time off and will leave to the countryside, to enjoy the holidays with my family and a few friends. I might return with a fresh post after Christmas, but I make no guarantees! I really need to disconnect myself from all this madness, for a short period of time, in order to put some order in my thoughts and recharge my batteries ( so to speak ).
Well, that should be all for 2008. See you again next year, in January ( in case I'm not gonna write anything new, till then ). Once again, have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a lot of fun! However, make sure you don't make abuse of too much food or booze, as you might have problems 
. And this can't be good, especially now..Goodbye!
Yours truly,
Tiberius Burciu
PS: Special thanks go this year to my old buddy Peter, from The Making Money Experiment, who's been with me all the year and helped my out, whenever I asked him. Thanks, my friend! Have a rocking Christmas and New Year and don't forget to give my regards to your family and friends 
. Oh, almost forgot: would also like to thank another person: Leesa, one of my newest contacts, who has helped me with some stuff for my not-yet-finished, still-under-construction niche site. Thanks, Leesa! Happy holidays for you, too!
Now, we can't say for sure if the cops have actually got a fine for parking their vehicle next to a sign which clearly says that no car should be there ( you can see the road sign, it's quite visible ), or if they had a mechanical problem with it. So, I will let you express your own opinion, too..and also have a laugh..he he! I promise I will come up with more interesting articles, once I'm less busy. Being a blogger and internet marketer is not such an easy job. Some of you, who might share the same "hobbies" as me, can confirm what I have just said, am I right?
PS: The photo was taken in a Romanian city ( Iasi, if I'm not wrong ), by an unknown person. If, by any chance, the author of it reads this blog, please let me know who you are, so I can give you credit for the pic. Thanks!
In my last article, I was telling everybody that this blog has finally gone live. Which means that, from now on, I will be writing fresh articles regularly. So, what I want to know from my readers, is the following: would you like me to post long articles, or rather shorter ones? Or there should be a combination of both long and short posts? I need to see what you guys prefer, so I can please as many of my visitors as I possibly can.
To inform me about your preferences regarding this question I've asked, please leave a comment on this article, expressing your option: short, long or both. In case you're unsure how a response should look like, here's an example: I would vote for shorter articles. Depending on the number of votes I get for each of the above mentioned options, that's how future articles will look like*. Thank you! Voting is now open!
*Even though I will respect my readers' and visitors' opinions, there might be some posts which will be either longer, or shorter and might come against your voted opinion. In this case, please do not accuse me for being rude and not taking your option into account: such potential articles will be either shorter or longer, because they might require more ( or less ) research from my part, or because I'll have to provide you additional information regarding a certain topic. Thank you for your understanding!
This official blog post was meant to be published yesterday, but because of an unexpecting issue, it had to be delayed for today. You might not be aware of this, but the above mentioned problem has brought shame upon me
. For those wondering why, let me tell you a little funny fact..
About 2 days ago, I've told my buddy Peter, from The Making Money Experiment, that I will be launching my blog yesterday. It was more like a promise I made and vowed to respect it. I also instructed Peter that, if I will fail to meet my deadline, then he is free to make fun of me. I think it's obvious what happened next, right? Well, yeah, I failed miserably in keeping my promise, so now I'm a laughing stock
. I lost that bet..That's the reason why I've said I'm ashamed. Funny stuff, ain't it?
Ok, let's get to the real point of this article, anyways..I would like to announce my blogs' official launch! As you can see, I have started a new blog, from scratch. But wait, who am I? Haven't said anything about me, so far. I could start doing this right away, but there's already a "About Me" page on this blog, from where you can find out more info about the guy behind the .Net and about Wallachian Blogger.Net, as well.
What I'd like to do next, though, is to tell you a few things about the modifications I've brought to this blogs' design and who did them ( clearly not me, as I'm not that good at working with HTML or CSS codes. That's why I have asked the help of a better coder, in the first place ). To keep things short and sweet, as I don't want to bother my 1 or 2 readers with too many useless details, here is the list with all the tweaks which were made to my blog:
1. My designer has changed the font and size of both my articles' titles and body's content, because he considered that now it's easier to read them.
2. He also changed some of the templates' colors, adding a bit of blue, which is one of my fave colors ( hope there isn't too much of it, though 
).
3. Next, the header has also been changed, with one selected by both of us and modified by him ( you can take a look at it and tell me what you think, by dropping a quick and short comment ).
4. 3 more 125X125 ad spots were added, below the ones already existing ( you can never know when an extra advertising spot might actually prove useful! ).
5. And last, but least, my designer has replaced the "Posted by" tag, with "Scribbled by", as per my suggestion. Oh, and to mention that he was nice enough to actually give me a bonus: he added some small stars, which appear next to each posts' link, in the "Recent Posts" area ( and in a few more spots. The stars are quite visible, so there shouldn't be a problem in spotting them ) and fixed a bug in my blogs' archive. Overall, I consider he has done a pretty neat job, don't you think? Kudos to ThemeLib.Com!
Yep, the guy from ThemeLib Dot Com has helped me customizing the design. And since I'm referring to him in this lines, I would also like to thank him, for being here when I needed him. So, thanks bud! I really appreciate the amount of time and dedication you've put in, to complete all the tasks I gave, in time. To all the others: if you ever need a good and speedy designer/coder, then why not to give NHC ( the owner of ThemeLib ) a try? I'm sure he'll be willing to give you a hand .
Hmm..that's about all I have to say for now. I would like to bring this article to an end, so not to be too long and bore you to death. I do hope you'll like my humble little blog and that you'll visit it or subscribe to its RSS feed, whenever you feel like doing so ( the blog is 24 hours/day, 7 days/week and 365 days/year online ( except when I'm doing some maintenance to it, or when the server goes down, do to technical problems ( not that it will happen that often, but just in case )).
Thank you very much for dropping by and reading this article! I wish a good day and have fun!
Tiberius Burciu ( aka The Wallachian Blogger )
