Today - April 22, 2007 - I am officially launching DanEngler.com.

Here are the current stats:

1 hit per day (me!).

I know many other sites chronicle their trip to nothingness to fame. My goal of the “Building A Blog” series is to showcase how I grow DanEngler.com from a brand spanking new site to an “Internet Powerhouse” in less than 6 months.

Let’s keep this in perspective - My definition of an “Internet Powerhouse” is to be a “Technorati Top 100 Blog” with a PR rank of at least 4 and a few thousand readers a day.

Hopefully you will be able to take away some techniques and strategies to help grow your own website.

So check in often to see updated stats as gems of information I add to the site.

Cheers!

A few weeks ago my cellphone broke and I was forced to get a new one. I decided on the T-Mobile Dash as it seemed like a nice hybrid between a fullblown pda and a normal cell phone.

I wanted something that could handle internet browsing and email with a nice sized screen, but wasn’t too bulky and clunky. The Dash is a perfect fit - only little bit bigger than a credit card.

If you are thinking about upgrading from a traditional cell phone to a PDA, but don’t want to make the jump right away, then check out the T-mobile Dash. It is a great phone to get your feet wet.

As a web designer and small business owner there are often times when I fall into a creative funk. Sometimes the work can grow tiresome and other times I simply lose inspiration. It happens to everyone at some point.

So what do I do when I hit that wall?

I walk it out.

My dog, Roxy, is always looking for a trip around the block, so I am able to work on two problems at the same time. The trick is to not think about what you were working on, but to focus on the stuff around you - or not think at all!

I often envy Roxy. She doesn’t have a care in the world except on which front yard is she going to do her business on next. If only life was that simple for all of us.

So focus on the simple things and let your mind wander a bit. It will help you find clarity and work through those tough moments.

Hope this helps.
