I've come to see that a lot of my problems lately are due to sitting at the computer too much. Yup, that's so. I have been taking less time here the last while and getting a few things done around my home that I've been neglecting due to putting all my time towards trying to make money here. I am really enjoying having some extra money, don't get me wrong there, and I am very grateful for it. It's just that it's been taking me likely 8 hours and more every day to study all the various ways to try to make my blog attract more traffic, including 'memes' almost every day, and trying to start my newest blog on it's own domain. So far, months and months later my blog is still a PR3, and I can't seem to figure out WordPress for my new blog, even with the help of James, a nice fellow who's been trying to help me. I know I'm not stupid, but must be having some kind of mental block and it's causing me a lot of stress. The tutorials WP gives don't even match the various programs I have and need to learn in order to work with WP, so how do I learn them?
The last couple days I've actually gotten to a point of not even wanting to be on the computer at all. I think I'm loosing my desire to blog... due of course to these issues. The upside is that I've gotten a bit of stuff done around here. This is a major plus.
Tomorrow I'm going away for the weekend and usually I would take my laptop with me. Heck, I usually take it along every time I even go to town! Yet, I am very seriously thinking about leaving it home. I really am getting to where I'm happier away from it than on it... strange.
One barely used blog on a private domain.
Paid almost $90 for the domain less than a month ago... will sell for $75 with the blog loaded and ready to go.

Just step away for a bit. It's easy to get consumed with those paid posts. But, don't forget that your readers want to read YOU too, not just those paid ones. ;)
We love ya and I think that ya just need a bit of breathing room. But, you'll be back. You're too good a blogger to go away.
Blogging should be fun. It's a shame that you're losing your interest. But maybe that's just a temporary thing.
Maybe you are due for a break.
I sure hope you don't stop blogging, because I truly enjoy your blog. However, you have to do what is best for you!
