The Lazy Way To Burning Calories
I have been described as being possibly the laziest man alive. I have turned this into an art and come up with grand schemes to get out of doing housework, yard work, or work in general. If you are thinking “his poor wife” right now, you are most certainly right. I actually feel bad for what I put that woman through. Nonetheless, I am still very lazy. This made me wonder how it is possible that I ever lose any weight? You hear of people say they eat very little, but still gain weight. So where does this weight loss come from? After a little research, I have come up with the lazy way to burning calories for those of us who do absolutely nothing!

Fortune 500 Companies Using WordPress
I use WordPress for almost every site that I build. If you are unfamiliar with this program, it is a content management system (CMS) that allows the business owner to edit and manage their own web site. When I first started using WordPress to build web sites for companies, I had some push back from my clients. Some said, "It's a blogging software, I don't want to blog." Others thought the system was too amateur to be used on their web site. If the site didn't cost them $5000, then it wasn't good enough for them. How wrong they are! Not only have I worked on web sites throughout the United States, I've created WordPress sites for companies doing business in Ceylon, the United Arab Emirates, and Dubai!
