My Debt Reduction Blog

It’s been a rough couple of works for me, hence the lack of posting. The issues are not financial related so they won’t be shared here. I’m hoping to get over this hump soon, so I can get back in to my groove.

If your interested in ‘micro-blogging’ and have used sites like twitter or Jaiku, you might want to try out Pownce as well. It’s similar, but does have a few additional features.
